Just like any language. You really have to live there to speak this fluently. Then continue to speak it even when you live in the states.

[@mlansky7302]

Cooper is very talented. He is not just another face. He is studied, open and elastic imo and obviously has the discipline necessary to sustain a long career as a performer. My best to him.

[@steve-from-toronto]

Six months of study will get you nowhere. I think he’s not admitting how much time and effort he’s actually put into it. He not only has excellent comprehension at full speed conversation with a native speaker, his accent is very good. It’s impressive.

[@xxGlitterGunz]

A little less than 6 months of study got me fluent in Japanese. Highly depends on the person. I know people that can have conversations in a new language within 30 days.

[@AngryKurtz86]

@@xxGlitterGunzit all depends how immersed you are in the culture. 6 months of 5 minutes a day in Duolingo wont get you nowhere

[@iRonlMoNKleY]

Ahhhhh. But 6 months living in a place where French is the only language spoken will do wonders. 🎉

[@owwmykneecap]

There's no way you are true fluent in Japanese in 6 months Have conversations sure but not fluent.​@@xxGlitterGunz

[@udontevenwannaknowbruv]

@@owwmykneecap Exactly, unless you have prior longtime exposure to the language like one of the parents being Japanese, that’s impossible. Maybe for a polyglot who knows more than 5 languages, it could be achievable.

[@travis5481]

I think a big thing people miss about his ability to learn French is something he mentions - not being afraid to fail and constantly trying to communicate. Most people, myself included, go through the motions and are just learning the words, but throwing yourself out there makes such a big difference. Stands to reason that an actor would be well-suited to this level of learning and immersion.

[@gypsy0032]

Full immersion is what he did. At least that's what I'm gathering from his comments.

[@hunterbiden2485]

I played with some French folks on ps for 4 years.. I learned all the French from them which is mind-boggling but I'm now multilingual thanks to them.

So cool to connect with people like that through games and come out on the other end with a beautiful new skill. Best to you, and hopefully you keep practicing the french

The only way to do that is full immersion. That's what the do to new recruits in the FFL.

[@kellygreengables3936]

Thank you for subtitling this interview!!

[@benellison5668]

I studied French in Canada for nearly a decade. He and I speak similarly. Either he's a savant or has understated the amount he has studied

[@organiceddie1565]

i mean he did say he studied in france for 6 months, then at least for this interview says he does live in Paris. My french is tourist level as I studied french for 10 years at School, not fluent at all but can get by . It is inspiring to see the level of competency which Bradley Cooper has to speak so fluently

[@benellison5668]

@organiceddie1565 well, he does live in Paris, that helps

[@Micloren]

It’s kinda been proven that language has a mathematical substructure. I think certain people have an ability recognize this & rapidly learn new languages. There’s a polymath on KZbin I follow occasionally and he’s ridiculously good at it… so much so that he’s fluent in classical Latin (not ecclesiastical). When I say language has a mathematical substructure… what I mean is it’s formulaic to the point where computers easily deconstruct them. They’re even being used to decode ancient dead languages.

[@maxine-x4x]

It's the latter

[@sonjak8265]

He was given questions, and he prepared

[@gisellezolar]

He is so talented he is a jack kf all trades. I love that he made it a point to practice the beautiful French language bc he wants to communicate not show off.❤

[@mindboost_]

The most appaling thing in learning languages is having to realize, that you should ABANDON your native language(or minimize your daily usage by the smallest amount as possible) at least for 2 months straight and use the basics that you have learned in new language, with broading your vocabulary, as your information source. It drasticaly helped me to learn english faster, than i had ever tried before. It comes with time, but this is a necessity that you should not ignore. Don't give up, there is more, than you can do 🙏

It makes all the difference if you live in the place where they speak it. It isn't that hard .

As someone who has lived and studied in France in various parts, I can tell you it's only really Parisians that are a little rude about it. But I think it's just because they assume you probably don't speak much French so they switch to English. Everywhere else, people are often very welcoming to Americans esp when you try to speak French.

My French is quite basic but his pronunciation sounds quite good. I researched it and see he minored in French at Georgetown, so that would explain it. Still, he must have put good effort to get the pronunciation correct.

Yes his pronunciation is quite food for an anglophone. Esp for someone who was only in France six months.

You have to be willing to learn and practice. I know a French person who lived in China for five months and didn’t bother to learn anything, but he has lived here in America for a year and speaks English well.

[@engrademafias]

Bradley Cooper talented at a lot of things

[@rikblauer]

He was nice guy, willing to speak in French, and telling us more about a human being than a super start. In addition, his French is good, but he feels comfortable as well while speaking and transmitting emotions in a foreign language (the hardesk task). So, for those persons who had a hard judgement about his French proficiency, I guess some people should take-off their pride and help others to improve their French instead of push them into an hostile situation. Probably he will never will speak as a native, but he's involved with the francophone culture, and it's what it really matters. Stop the hate and just enjoy the moments we have with people such as Bradley Copper.
