I feel like the resources finding can be the hardest. Like you can watch tv and go online but its so different to have an actual conversation with someone in person. When living abroad i had two friends from France and they knew my french was good so they would speak mostly in french to me and force me to talk back to them in french to practice. I learned more colloquial french from them in 4 months than i ever had in school. Hopefully back home I can find more french friends to have fun with while also practicing

"en voiture, Simone" hahahahaaha, reminds me of "Bye Felicia" from the movie Friday, hahahahha

You're one of my favorites. You're videos are really helpful and you keep me inspired, Geraldine. Merci. Michelle, Philippines

Great post: Learning languages - LIGHT YEARS AWAY from just learning vocab lists.

This video was very helpful. The tips to practice, to learn vocabulary, the resources (apps, links, … etc). Merci beaucoup !!

Thank you for sharing your story, Geraldine. I studied French for about 6 years total in high school and university MANY years ago, and then lived in Paris for 3 years not so very long ago. My French was not bad and I had no trouble using it my professional life and in just getting around. I joined the Club Alpin Francais branch in Paris to hike in the area and meet people, and it was a real revelation. People spoke so fast, used more vernacular than I knew, plus we were outside walking! I always felt as I understood about half of the conversation and by the time I thought of something intelligent to say, people had moved on to a new topic. It was exhausting but I kept plugging away. I need to add that everyone was always very nice to me, put up with my bad accent and grammar mistakes. It must of been something similar to you felt in the UK. I discovered Comme Une Francaise after I returned to the US and have been a pretty regular viewer of your weekly videos and have taken a couple of courses. I feel that I have learned so much about how everyday spoke French and the culture that I wish I had know while I was actually living there! I continue to want to maintain/improve my French because living in Paris was truly a dream and I just loved every minute I was there.

Thanks for helping us learn how to learn!

I only found your channel by chance this week and I’m loving it! I love your passion for teaching and for the French language, I will definitely be following you closer and signing up for your courses. Thank you

I love the 1 lesson, 1 week approach and how you structured the week. I'll definitely keep this in mind as I go through the rest of my CUF lessons!

I love learning French with your short video s and the everyday french crash course

Thank you for another great video with lots of great tips and advice. I really appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into your content. It really shows how passionate you are about teaching.

I am using a gameapp Duolingo and its fun and enjoyable and really helpful. I feel more productive this quarantine because though I am playing just a game but it actually teaches me how to be more familiar with the language. And offcourse your vlogs too. So keep it up. A big Thanks to you.

Salut Géraldine, Très bon vidéo. Chaque matin je prends ma café et apprend français. Je le commence par Duo Lingo puis une vidéo avec vous. Je passe des heures par jour á apprende. Je vais á la recontre française une par fois semaine. Just pour m'embarrasser! Merci beaucoup pour ton aide. J'apprends dupuis en peu plus d'un mois. Je le temps... C'est le moment! Tu es le meilleur. Aux États-Unis nous disons " haut le main". Hands down, you're the best.

Ah, tres bien, merci beaucoup Geraldine!

Good tips - merci!

Merci prof. Les astuces vous venez nous donner sont tres bon!

Bonjour Géraldine. Je tiens à vous remercier pour la qualité de vos vidéos. Si j'avais dû apprendre le français, j'aurais été heureux d'avoir une guide comme vous pour m'accompagner tout au long du chemin. Vous êtes très pédagogue et vous expliquez des concepts linguistiquement ardus avec grâce et simplicité. J'ai d'ailleurs recommandé votre chaîne à un ami américain qui est très désireux de s'élever au-dessus du niveau: "Je suis bien comme-ci comme-ça et je voudrais du baguette, Monsieur." Bref, grâce à vous et à mes observations éclairées, mon ami américain progresse à la vitesse de la lumière. Mais j'avoue qu'il est un élève particulièrement brillant. De mon côté, je suis belge (une fois). Ok, c'est lourd. Mais faudra l'expliquer aux Parisiens qui viennent dans mon joli petit royaume et qui n'ont de cesse de rire de notre accent. Mais là où je suis rassuré, c'est que mes chums du Québec trouvent que je parle comme un maudit Français. Alors que je suis moitié russe, moitié roumain né en Belgique. Comme quoi le racisme est juste une affaire d'à priori basés sur un mélange d'inculture et d'ethnocentrisme. Anyway Géraldine, keep teaching 'em French. You are doing pretty fine !

thank u!

Brilliant Geraldine, great tips. The Earworms app looks amazing, would be a great melange pour avancer parceque Aprendero espagnol tambiem. Chiao

pourriez-vous faire une vidéo sur les relations France / Québec? J'apprécie beaucoup vos vidéos.

This is so good - merci beaucoup :) I’m a recent subscriber 🌞

Thank you mam about the idea for learning languages... I have struggle in learning for past 2 years. I believe if I implement your methodology for learning in a week (discover etc...), it would small, easy yet stable way of learning. Above all, enjoyable.. Thanks for the advice...

Not sure why I like you so much..... merci

I have been studying French seriously for several months now. I am doing everything you say but I get tied up with technpology, which is not very kind to me.

The best language advice I ever heard was from Khatzumoto, who became fluent in 18 months in Japanese while as an African student studying in Utah. "YOU DON'T LEARN A LANGUAGE. YOU JUST GET USED TO IT." The secret? Use the language, think in the language, converse in the language, write in the language. Non-stop. Use the the same method we all used to walk. Do it until you master it.

Merci beaucoup pour le video Geraldine. J'aime la langue et la cultura française. Je ne parle pas très bien français.

I recently was given a charming French expression "living room colonel", which I find funny and interesting. Could you do a talk on expressions such as these and the deeper meaning behind them. Thanks

Years ago I was a French teacher but I'm finding geraldine's français quotidien is something I was never taught myself. The expression you just referenced is a great example. Could you please tell me what you were told it means and its cultural context? Mllle mercis

Love you

This sounds ridiculous, but I go online to find magazines written in French just to read the words and will try to figure out what the sentences mean - I only do this with subjects I really know (like music). And if I get stumped I turn to my English-French dictionary. It helps more with my reading.

En voiture Simon c’est comme dire « Home James » ou disant un destination et alors « James » en anglais d’un file s’appelle « Driving Miss Daisy »

En Voiture, Simone ! Thats french for 'Punch it Chewie'...

What about the Penpal apps where you can practice the language with someone living and speaking in French. I guess it's somewhat like italki.

En voiture, Simone! Let's go, Karen. Haha. Enjoyed the video.

Salut Géraldine ! J'aime bien tes vidéos tu t'exprimes très bien et c'est très facile de te suivre. Je voudrais quand-même te demander la différence entre "douter" et "se douter"

@moi8964

Bomonyo Basuo Salut je suis française donc je peux t’aider si tu veux. "Douter" et comme par exemple "douter de quelque chose" ou par exemple "tu t’ai douter que c’était vrai" tu comprends ? Et "se douter" est par exemple "je m’en suis douter" mais il n’y a pas vraiment de différence donc si tu va en France et que tu parle avec un français il va comprendre ne t’inquiète pas 😉!

Je suis française je ne sais pas pourquoi je regarde cette vidéo haha mais c’est juste pour savoir qu’est-ce que les anglais pensent de nous

Anyone know an app like earworms that doesn't cost anything? Earworms is quite expensive 😫 I am moving to France in two weeks and really want to improve my French more.

Je voudrais memoriser le vocabulieres de choses dans le cuisiniere

Anyone wanna be a learning partner? I’m on break and I don’t want to stagnate and lose my skills. Gotta keep active. Je l’apprécierais!

You need to speak slower in English 'cause it's hard to understand your English.
