In learning the language we often have to memorise obscure grammar rules that natives once learned in school and then forgot about.

La différence c’est qu’aujourd’hui on est plus souvent exposé à l’anglais donc ça nous paraît « naturel » ou facile. Mais c’est une illusion.

@@asmajouini8808 ton témoignage montre plusieurs choses. 1) Tu partages avec tout le monde ton expérience personnelle, donc oui tu as raison pour TON expérience personnelle. Mais tu n'es pas représentative de toutes les personnes. 2) La motivation et les émotions que l'on développent par rapport à une langue sont les facteurs les plus importants dans la progression. 3) Les chiffres que tu donnes ne sont pas objectifs. Il y a objectivement plus de sons différents en anglais (45) qu'en français (36) ça c'est un fait et non un ressenti ni une expérience personnelle. Le nombre de façons de les écrire est aussi considérablement plus nombreux en anglais (1100) qu'en français (250). Après il y a d'autres facteurs à prendre en compte comme le fait que la majorité des gens non natifs qui parlent en anglais utilisent plutôt le globish qui est une version très simplifiée de l'anglais. De plus, la plupart des américains aiment utiliser un registre de langue très basique ce qui fait que la majorité des ressources et influences en anglais utilisent un anglais basique. Du coup tu as l'impression de parler "parfaitement" anglais mais je doute sérieusement de ton affirmation sinon tu serais de niveau C2 et même des anglophones natifs n'atteignent pas ce niveau de rigueur. Je te recommande un excellent article du magazine australien Aeon disponible en ligne et qui s'intitule Why English Is Not Normal. Il est écrit par un linguiste américain qui explique pourquoi l'anglais est en fait l'une des langues les plus difficiles au monde. Etant donné qu'il est américain et donc anglophone natif, qu'il est linguiste donc expert en analyse des langues je pense qu'on peut considérer que son point de vue fait autorité. D'ailleurs, le linguiste français Claude Hagège, professeur au Collège de France et grand défenseur du français le dit également dans une interview sur KZread : kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJ5116qvf7C-dqg.html Je t'invite sérieusement à faire la part des choses entre ton ressenti personnel et les faits objectifs.

Et je pense que tu préfères l'anglais et que tu ne t'es jamais vraiment posée la question de l'analyse des difficultés comparées d'un point de vu rationnel et objectif (donc scientifique chiffres à l'appui). De plus, je pense que dans l'inconscient collectif de beaucoup d'ex-colonie (dont la Tunisie) le français a forcément une connotation péjorative et c'est normal. De plus, comme l'anglais est la langue internationale et celle utilisée pour les innovations son capital sympathie est forcément plus important. D'ailleurs, même parmi les français de France il y a beaucoup de gens qui sont sentimentalement plus enclin à préférer l'anglais au français. Mais d'un point de vue purement objectif et linguistique l'anglais est plus difficile que le français de même que l'arabe est plus difficile que l'anglais. Après c'est toujours pareil, tout dépend du bagage linguistique de l'apprenant et surtout de son rapport émotionnel avec la langue cible. Et les émotions sont toujours sensibles et influençables selon de nombreux facteurs. De plus, si tu es en contact avec des gens que tu n'apprécies pas cela aura un impact (conscient ou non) sur ta perception de la langue. Et hélas, il y a beaucoup de gens insupportables en France...

Native French here, just a few points I'd like to correct/add to: - Be careful throwing "tu sais" around. It's not a casual "you know" (even though it is the literal translation), it's sort of a 10% passive-aggressive way of saying "are you aware of that?" - You absolutely can address to the person directly instead of taking the "one must" route, but only when addressing to someone who's relatively close to you, e.g. probably not your boss, maybe a colleague if the task is work-related. That's if you want the fluent feel. Otherwise just be direct and it's gonna be fine. - No need to complexify your sentences by adding words all over the place. Focus on getting your point across or you might actually make a mistake. Funnily enough, he made mistakes in his examples by say "où" instead of "que" after the "là". - Be careful using the plus-que-parfait (e.g. "j'avais mangé"). This is not only a bit heavy on the words but also is more dedicated to telling a story such as a book or movie as a narrator, not what you did yesterday morning, or maybe if you're getting deep into the story and people are actually interested in what you're saying. Most of the time, just go with passé composé ("j'ai mangé"). Even when it's not the perfect choice between the two, it's never gonna sound wrong.

That's true! French parents always teach their kids not to drop the "ne"... Tricky part: if you want to be very polite and speak a very very old formal language, which would be the very opposite, you can drop the "pas". "Je n'ai songé à cette idée". They also teach the "Comment?" instead of "Quoi?", "Non" instead of "Nan", "Oui" instead of "Ouais" otherwise you'd be considered kind of shameless. But what nobody tells you is that adults, mostly under 40, always drop the '"ne" in a friendly conversation! "Niveaux de langage" (soutenu, courant, familier, argot) is the key for developping social skills.

I spoke with an Australian who told me English was a language very "in the present, dynamic, that follows the evolutions of the society", whereas French is very conservative. Knowing acurate vocabulary is well-seen by French teachers since childhood in french elementary schools. It's a whole different (and elitist, quite snobish) approach of the language. I agree with Damon when expressing the idea of "knowing the spirit of one specific language".

@sarahr4019

3 жыл бұрын

Dude sorry to disappoint but he said it wrong. So conditionnel is not a tense it's a mode. He just wrote the terminaisons for imparfait twice. For instance, if you want to say "if I were rich I would travel", if I were is the condition, in which you use the imparfait so "si j'étais riche" and then the conditionel comes in when you say what you would do if the condition was realized "Je voyagerai".

Things that I found useful when speaking French in France: -if you want to say "don't worry!" it's far more common to say "t'inquiètes !" instead of "ne t'inquiètes pas". Even though technically "t'inquiètes" means the opposite - you worry. Don't think about it too much haha. - they pretty much always in my experience used 24 hr time. So rather than saying "Je vais partir à 6 heures du soir" they'd say "à 18 heures" which is another level of fun 😅 - they say "du coup" alllll the time. Apparently it means "therefore" but it's used a lot more like how we'd say "so" to restart a conversation after a silence or a tangent. Also from memory it's also kind of used like how we'd say "anyway" just a word at the end of the sentence that doesn't really add anything "I'm going there anyway" - getting rid of the ne in "ne pas" (or any other negation) is huge, definitely get used to doing this. But then remember to add it back in when writing formally, which I always forgot - when saying "hey!" or "hi!" to friends you can say "salut" but I found "coucou" was very common and I think it's cute haha - greetings: bonjour means hello obvs, but if you say bonne journée it means "have a good day". And similarly bonsoir means "good evening" but bonne soirée means "have a good evening" - salut can mean bye as well as hello! -people say "ouais" a lot rather than "oui" as it's more casual. It's like saying "yeah" rather than "yes" Edit: I just remembered that ways of saying that you're free/willing to do something when invited were useful e.g. "Yes I'm free/I'd like to go to the movies this evening" -ca me va (that suits me) -ca marche pour moi (that works for me) - je suis dispo (short for disponible - I am free/available) -je suis partant (I'm keen/I'm down for it)

I'm not learning french, I don't have an interest in speaking french, I don't watch any french/language learning videos on youtube. So why the hell did this end up in my recommended, and why did I watch all 17 minutes of it.

When your 5+ year effort of trying to learn French could have just been a 17 min video...

I love the vibes here and your editing is AMAZING

Damon this is so helpful! I started learning French at university a few years ago and was terrible at it, nearly failed a bunch of times. When I first moved to New Caledonia at the beginning of this year to teach English, I could not communicate with ANYONE. Finally after seven months here I'm starting to find my feet in the language, and all the things you're talking about are the way people actually speak here, and not at all the way I was taught. Thank you for helping me maintain my motivation for learning French, even when it's kicking my ass 😅

Bruh French is my native language, and it always have been confusing. When you dig deeper and deeper into the grammar lessons, it's just... hell.

French people are struggling at french class with all those tense, rules and exceptions, grammar, and all... I am not surprised if no native speakers are confused with so many things 😂

I'm 16, I'm French and I'm like: yeah I want to learn my language, so interesting, and your accent is like 👌🏻

Thank you Thank you Thank you! This makes so much sense. Please do more of these videos!

Super ta vidéo, tu as mis le doigts sur des détails importants que je n'ai jamais vu dans autres vidéos. Bravo 😉 Pretty interesting video, even for a french learning english.
