Grammar + Pronunciation😃👍 great!!!

Merci Anu :)

[@diane2leslie]

A long lesson but I love that it is all together in one place. Often French grammar books are divided into topics and the grammar is spread out throughout the book. Very challenging to learn this way. I made a chart that I can refer to quickly with all the endings, many thanks. I also appreciate the ongoing chance to reinforce good pronunciation. Basics are so important to build confidence.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Diane thank you so much for your comment ☺️

Good video. I often struggle with this. Always wondered why objects have genders anyway. In English they dont: a table, a chair, etc (the "a" being neutral). Also wonder why languages didn't evolve to do away with this needless gender of objects. Makes languages harder to learn. Anyway, thanks for the helpful video!

[@oliverelias1356]

Sup girl, Honestly, Your lessons have a high quality content and are interesting too, So keep going with the good work 'cause you're rocking. I think that the most difficult matters for me when it comes to learning french is the gender because I have to think whether I'm speaking about a masculine or feminine word. And also the conjugation part of some specials verbs, there are some ones that have a pattern and other ones that don't. This also applies for the possessive adjective and other aspects but learning a language takes time, So we have to take it calm but without lifting our foot from the gas pedal if you guys know what I mean.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Thank you so much Oliver ☺️ Masculine and feminine take time but you seem to be on the right path, keep practicing and it will come ☺️

[@oliverelias1356]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thank you Dylane. Literally I've just bought your grammar course because I found it interesting and I really feel like learning french. The first thing that I do by learning a language is to start speaking it since the first time in order that my fear and my insecurity dissapears, I do know that it takes time to get confy and that the knowledge tree has to be watered every day but this one will wither away. If I have a doubt I'll let you know that on my comments down below the prescription box. A bear hug :). Greetings to whatever the place you are on earth right now jaja n_n

[@sangeethar5414]

Thank you for your amazing videos! They have been really useful. I have a question about the list of feminine/masculine endings to learn. Only 3 of the masculine endings end with an E (ACLE, AGE, ISME), which would make them the exception to the 90% rule, all the others do not end in E. Similarly, only 2 of the feminine endings (SION and TION) end without an E, whilst all the other feminine noun endings do end in E. Would it be ok to learn that masculine nouns do not end in E except ACLE, AGE, ISME and feminine nouns end in E except SION and TION. It would then only require learning 5 rules. Would that be correct, or am I missing something?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

You can use the rule but the most common words don't follow it. But you can use it and add to the exceptions as you learn :)

[@moon.2869]

some queries im dropping while watching this cuz i dont have anyone else to go ask em and yes ik im not gonna get an answer to these- 1) i dont understand what do you mean by saying english words 7:49 im sorry if this sounds dumb cuz english isnt my first language- 2) 9:37 the words with sion as ending do not have an E in the end, all these exceptions from E? im done with the lesson :) it seriously helped me alot with genders in french.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

1. You will have to google them because there are the same words in French and in English so it will be hard to explain :) 2. E at the end is the general rule :)

[@UnMisanthropeCynique]

Cimer d’avoir fait la vidéo, bien que je sois un locuteur natif de français, elle est toujours intéressante et utile. Mais, j’ai envie de vous poser la question : pourquoi il y a des substantifs genrés en Français et beaucoup d’autres langues ? Logiquement parlant, ça a aucun sens. Comment une voiture a la capacité d’être une femme ? Comment un style peut être un homme ? C’est une chose que l’on peut pas expliquer ?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Le genre des noms est présent dans beaucoup de langues. Il n’y a pas vraiment d’explications quant à l’origine :)

[@michaelkac9158]

Please forgive this reply in English. The reason for your puzzlement about *voiture* and other such words is that, like many generations of students of French before you, you’ve been woefully mistaught. Outside the realm of reference in a sex-specific way to animate beings, such as men and women, bulls and cows, stallions and mares (etc.) the use of the terms ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ to refer to the genders of French is the result of a confusion that has been around for so long there seems to be no way of correcting it. If you want to learn the truth about what’s really going on in French, and the other languages that behave similarly in this regard, I strongly urge you to study linguistics up to the level at which you can read Greville Corbett’s Gender (Cambridge University Press) and G.R. Tucker, W.A. Lambert and A. Rigault’s The French Speaker’s Skill with Grammatical Gender (Mouton & Co.). The scales will fall from your eyes and you’ll realize the extent to which you and millions of others, past and present, have been completely bamboozled about this subject..

[@gibbs81097]

Dylane, i have a question. why is it "er" stressed in the word "cancer" especially the letter r, while in the word "danger" "er" is just pronounced like é ? the above two are french masculine nouns btw.
