Beginning French for Travelers with Trish Feaster | Rick Steves Travel Talks

[@rtehcs000]

She is absolutely magnificent! I wish she taught French from beginner to fluent.

[@jeanlouiecastillo]

she's such a brilliant teacher!!, i never enjoyed a lesson this much

[@christinatweet6580]

Rick has so many great people like Trish!! Thanks to her ....

[@ferlazzari]

This is a fantastic class! Such a simple and practical approach, ideal for beginners. Great job, Trish!

[@suew5659]

The best tutorial I’ve seen, and I’ve watched a lot.

[@atulsagar1253]

Merci madam for the wonderful class. Enjoyed it to the core.

[@ceciliandolo946]

A teacher with a sense of humor, thumps up.

[@sweetypatnett6123]

What a great way to teach people French. You did a fantastic job. It was very informative and helpful. Thanks!!!😊😍🤩

[@marciawright2263]

Excellent lesson

[@yukofreeman4483]

You are a natural teacher !

[@apolloapollofressle910]

Bonjour TRISH You’re video was excellent. You make French so very easy I’m going to Paris, France and Provence in a couple of months I’ve been Studying with the Pimsleur Language French level 1 course. Honestly, I learned more from your video then several chapters on my course . I would encourage you to make a French videos that I could buy online Mercy❤

[@Kurious2no]

A superb job Trish. This is exactly what a traveler with no French needs to know. Most importantly, you told the group the secret to great relations with the French - Bonjour Madame/Monsieur! No matter how limited your French, to make the effort to greet people as they like to be greeted opens up all doors to you. You will be treated with warmth and respect. One further thought... if the above is too much for some to learn, just learn the following phrases (in any language of a country you are visiting): Hello/Goodby, Please/Thank you, Yes/No, Where is... How much... Thanks again Trish. Well done.

[@jacoba5988]

Kurious2no very well put! I couldn't explain it better! I very much agree!

[@planetochampagne]

[@CarlosSolisProductions]

Visiting the Mediterranean on a cruise in 6 weeks. Just practicing my French and Italian. Muchas gracias 🙏

[@hungrylikethewolfe]

Wow, this teacher is 100x hotter, nicer and more effective than my HS French teacher who spent 90% of class grading homework and 10% teaching.

[@limitlessbianca]

I have learned most of these in college, but I just found something totally new here! Thank you!

[@sweetypatnett6123]

Thanks for sharing this video, it was very informative and helpful. 😊😊

[@electrajones5462]

Lovely and clear presentation!

[@dSHERMAN143]

This is an incredible video

[@itskriscampos]

Excellent video! Thank you for this. I’m heading to Paris in a month and I thought I’d see what I could scour on KZbin. I’d say this is a GREAT find!

[@cindys2995]

I'm going in a few weeks. How was your trip?

[@itskriscampos]

@@cindys2995 It was wonderful! We lucked out on beautiful weather. Food is incredible. A lot of spots open late (2a). This was back in March, so masks were usually for public transit and indoor areas. And with negative tests mandate lifted for US, I’m sure the trip will be less stressful.

[@cindys2995]

@@itskriscampos Oh good! Yea, I saw that the test mandate was lifted last week. I'm really excited to go. Thanks for your reply.

[@tammaragardner9160]

This was incredibly useful! Thank you!

[@EileenOR]

Merci beaucoup, Trish!!

[@lorytravers7383]

Excelent instructor…

[@livluv987]

A excellent teacher and a perfect class👍.. love learning to speak French thank you so much …. Best wishes 🌹

[@johnhaxby306]

get ready to take notes!! you will want to use most of this...

[@royalelecrtical1496]

Great job I appreciate

[@carolrudat5934]

Very helpful travel expressions! A couple of your numbers are spelled incorrectly- 20=vingt And 30=Trente Hopefully these can be corrected on your slides.

[@bianca9002]

Excellent video. Easy to understand it will help me for sure in my trip 💕

[@hetalpatel8273]

Great

[@AndyJohansen]

Awesome video! 😁 Really want to travel more now

[@GodsCommunity]

Hello everyone. BLESSINGS. 🙌🙌

[@lawrenceyuan3863]

She is AWESOME!

[@sabrinakhan4859]

She is amazing how can I find more french language videaf

[@christianc9894]

Il y a quelques erreurs diverses (les chiffres !) mais c'est bien comme méthode Madame et vous aviez de bons élèves. Un français abonné à la chaine de Rick.

[@lhamunamygal8758]

Very good

[@fredericroy]

46:34 Bonjour, vous avez fait une erreur pour 30. Cela s'écrit : trente et non "treinte". Et on ne dit pas soixante-onze mais soixante et onze. 80 s'écrit quatre-vingt et non "quatre vignts" (idem pour vingt-deux")

[@patrickmcshane7658]

How do you say collaborator?

[@tennhere]

81 = quatre-vingt-un (after eight, you stop with the "et")

[@lillady32004]

Excellent teacher however there are some words that you don’t translate so I have to stop the lesson to look it up.

[@thatdogisjet2892]

25:00 dont mind this

[@nelsongonzalez4533]

While in Paris ☺️ do like the americans do!

[@MissValerieLearnFrench]

she says GESIERS not the proper way!! I am native and you have to say JAY ZEE YEAH... so the S has to be pronunced as a Z as the S is between 2 vowels - French is very tricky... This speaker is spectacular and her lesson is fantastic.. but learning from a native that speaks English is very very helpful! I am from France and married, living in Long Beach in USA. I have been helping a lot of couples and professionals.

[@asechka]

This is a wonderful presentation in many ways. But - I'm fluent in French; there were a number of errors, both in spelling and pronunciation, mostly spelling. These things need to be checked thoroughly before making it public!

[@TheLittlesunshine95]

Victor Gorodinsky I agree with you but when people speak more than a language may make some spelling mistakes. That happens. It does not mean doesn’t know the language.

[@djmotise]

@@TheLittlesunshine95 No excuse. They should have checked the work before posting.

[@richardrichard5409]

Why is someone fluent in French watching and crabbing a basic intro to learning starter French, very odd. Feel free to produce your own video to improve things😎

[@patrickmcshane7658]

No Edith Piaf?

[@erics670]

That’s Ricks SO

[@godelievereygaert6469]

La gare femini ... une gare une station

[@SL-pn8wj]

Good work, but a few surprising mistakes in term of genres and spelling (particularly within the number section)

[@patrickmcshane7658]

Pigmalion?

[@CriticalThinker1967]

20 minutes in and no handy words but alphabet covered lol 😂

[@jpauljpaul8776]

Twenty is "vingt" and not "vignt"!

[@asechka]

And thirty is "trente", not "treinte". Coffee topic: it's "une noisette", not "un noisette", it's a faminine gender.

[@redblock5150]

...and faminine is actually feminine 🤔

[@richardrichard5409]

The irony or eyeronnie🤔😂👍

[@MyBook-he3ex]

Actually, Bonjour depends on the time of day it is.

[@djmotise]

She's a very lovely woman, but I don't believe for a second she knows French more than the most basic level from her past studies somewhere. She wrote this presentation, but why so many errors in the spelling of numbers?! I think she was hired to do this but without true qualifications. I don't know how else to account for the errors. And her pronunciation of some vowel sounds doesn't seem right to me. She does one too many diphthongs where there shouldn't be any. Still, she is fabulous as a classroom teacher. I'd love to see her do a Spanish class. She admits she was primarily a Spanish teacher.

[@richardrichard5409]

We are waiting for your own video on basic french.

[@cindys2995]

@@richardrichard5409 🤣🤣🤣 - Don't you just love how people sitting in front of a screen can criticize those doing great things using their BEST efforts? LOL.

[@arijitigi1]

Reservation sounded like Azerbaijan

[@A13JMC]

I am not a crowd follower. After 10 minutes I would have walked out!

[@A13JMC]

Better to go to cognates after the alphabet.

[@brendacampbell3432]

20 is VINGT, not vignt and a few other errors. And your Rs sound like Ws, careful. Good effort overall but surprised to see and hear mistakes at this level.

[@nelsongonzalez4533]

Doucement, SVP!

[@sandybe11]

Ll

[@kiewsky]

It's a pity that Trish makes so many mistakes in spelling.

[@A13JMC]

This is too slow, grinding, and boring for beginners. Keep it simple, keep the flow moving and enjoyable.

[@patrickmcshane7658]

Can anyone say surrender?

[@patrickmcshane7658]

How about collaborator?

[@kiewsky]

se rendre (guess where we get surrender from)

[@cryptohook9395]

Excellent!!
