Don't miss my talk in French on Elisa's channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2OQn55ngNmrnbc 🇫🇷

[@tim1724]

It's interesting to hear Elisa speaking English when I'm so accustomed to hearing her speak French. Her accent is interesting; it's fairly neutral, occasionally sounding British, sometimes French, but mostly a rather generic western European accent.

[@georgeantonioandrei8570]

She sounded a little American for me.

[@byronwilliams7977]

@@georgeantonioandrei8570 She definitely doesn't sound American. I agree with tim1724, he accent is remarkable though.

[@FrenchmorningswithElisa]

Thank you so much for having me ! This was really fun ✨✨✨

[@ZarazXero]

I really enjoyed this interview! Just a comment about your accent, it sounds quite British to me (I'm Canadian though, not an expert on British accents by any means). If I didn't have any background info I might guess that you weren't British, but I probably wouldn't be able to tell that you're French, your accent is very soft and charming!

[@medidrissi6961]

I'm subbed to your channel ! ! 😁

[@bigbong.official]

The pleasure was all mine! Thank you again for accepting 😊

[@EvanDelay]

Elisa. You have such a pleasant British accent. Generally I don't hear a French accent when you speak English. Well done!

[@saalex1035]

I m subbed on your channel..and it s pretty amazing.

[@calebw8189]

Elisa's accent is like a combination of American and British English with a touch of French.

[@georgeantonioandrei8570]

Exactly!

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I'm an English teacher, and currently am learning my seventh language. Good to know that others, too, are keeping themselves motivated in learning and teaching languages! Thanks for the motivating video!

[@charlie6923]

What you described with changing your accent when you talk to British or Canadian people is actually a noted phenomenon. It's called "Code Switching," and native speakers even do it with other native speakers

[@Aditya-te7oo]

Charlie I don't think it's called code switching 'cause in code switching people change language(s) consciously and here people change one's accent subconsciously.

[@Aditya-te7oo]

4:03-4:58 That was hilarious, I'm telling you man that was hilarious. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FrenchmorningswithElisa]

😂😂😂

[@memochan4862]

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Elisa is very good at speaking English. She teaches French very well and thaNks to her vidéos I have improved a lot my knowledges in French. She's a skilled teacher

[@saidmay892]

Merci de nous mettre transcription de cette conversation . Merci pour votre effort

[@medidrissi6961]

Je suis du maroc donc je comprend le français. xD I love your vids bro, you are doing your best as usual! Ganbatte! ♡

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

I'm the exact same way with accents! I remember when I spent a week in Dublin I gained an Irish accent just from interacting with people with that accent so much. And I had to fight tooth and nail to keep my New England accent when I was at uni in Pennsylvania

[@alexc.d.c213]

Great video, I really liked so much. Thanks for your collaboration.

[@DarkDragonSlayer]

when elisa talks in english, she sounds like emma watson from harry potter, who is also french, but has a a british accent when speaking english, as well.

[@stevemorse108]

Hey Elisa your english is excellent.....well done! I am an American living in Switzerland and I I am bi-lingual FR/UK and also speak some Italian....autrement dit pour un American je suis un génie.... une blague certes mais bien des blagues contiennent des elements de réalité.

[@Bfolks84]

Me hearing her speak “ oh she has a British accent.” Elisa “ I wish I had the British accent. Me “ 🤔 ummm.”

[@joshuddin897]

Ist British accent good pour toi?

[@betulylmaz8061]

I have just watched your interview with elise in French. It is really interesting to see how your character changed when you switched to english. haahhah

[@eluard9238]

Kesinlikle.

[@eddiekimberly639]

l followed your conversation in english elisa 🙂😄. l like the way you are defended,in english.

[@jayjay8490]

Je suis très motivée. Mon rêve le plus cher, c'est d'être bilingue, au moins acquérir le niveau B2 en français.

[@rddavies]

I think Elisa's British accent is quite pronounced actually.

[@VK-sp4gv]

12:19 When Elisa says "New year, I was like, OK...", the French subtitles translate this as "j'étais genre". I can't find this expression. Does it mean "I was kind of..."?

[@carlheinz6273]

In this context, I think "je me suis dit" would have been a better french translation. "Je me suis dit" means "I said to myself".

[@romitalia3088]

Here in Quebec it’s very common, it might also be in France I’m not sure. It basically has the same meaning as “I was like”. Just as with like, it’s also used as a filler word a lot.

[@martinvillamor7013]

I disagree with with focusing on pronunciation. In Canada we focus on that when being able to communicate is more important. À mon avis, pouvoir transmettre un message ou s'exprimer est plus important que pouvoir parler de manière plus francophone.

[@kusinadi507]

Parfaitement, oui

[@hassiba3724]

I want to learn English. But I am thirty years old. Can I do it? Or am I late

[@bigbong.official]

It's never too late to learn languages, ask Steve Kaufmann!

[@tonyhogg9839]

I didn't start getting really serious with french until I was in my early 40s. Because I realized with youtube you can find all kinds of things to watch. So yeah it's very possible to do. It just takes tons of listening and reading and practicing. Like I would advise watching several hours a week for a year. It's like learning to play piano. It takes a lot of commitment and time.

[@hassiba3724]

@@tonyhogg9839 Thank you for the advice. I will never give up. But the problem is that I do not have someone with whom I practice the language whit him😿

[@joshuddin897]

@@hassiba3724 italki. But concentrate on understanding first. U need to accumulate vocabulary. Without vocabulary you can't communicate.

Je te remercie pour transcription
