[@hamzasami8362]

As an Arab who speaks fluent English.... pretty bad Arabic, and is loving learning french... SCHOOL IN CANADA IS NOT TEACHING ME THE RIGHT THING.. the only things I can recognize is certain words but other than that, he speaks way too fast for me to catch on and process the words. Also they teach in formal talking and such, whom of course you'd only find that in cartoons or documentaries and such. Not useful for 1 on 1 conversations. He's making french seem scary for me right now xD; still loving it though. I'm going to push my teacher and ask if we are able to watch this guy as an activité here and there. Sadly there is swearing and hopefully it's okay for her. But man.. who ever spends their time translating this is a great person.

[@luisrocha26]

@@hamzasami8362 my experience: I'm brazillian and learnt french in a brazillian school, then spent one year in south France. During my first two months, I could only understand lectures, but not what my friends were speaking. I was terrified and thought that none of what I learnt was useful hahaha but in the end I figured it is a matter of learning some new words and getting used to the speed, which comes from practice only. The grammar and vocabulary you are learning on the school is 80% of everything you'll hear and see, so I dont think you're wasting your time. Paul's style is VERY fast paced as you can see in the english bits, so you can expect the french bit to be a challenge. If your teacher used this as an activité, she/he is great! There's a lot to learn there! even the curse words are important

@@zydn The word you're looking for is dialect. They are classed as different dialects of the same English. Is/as they start to drift farther and farther apart where the base of the language is relatively the same, but they wouldn't be able to understand each other fully, it becomes a creole. After creole and they start having their own grammatical forms and new words, etc., they might be able to become their own language, but language is also based on politics at the time and how accepted things are. Edit: the chances of new languages popping up that aren't completely intentional now are low to impossible due to globalization. If things keep going the way things are, English will most likely stay the same world wide, though new words will be added and old ones discarded of, but the grammar and syntax will stay the same. Most likely even the pronunciation as well. Unless we get to a global space where separate languages are spoken everywhere and there becomes a common accent, in which case, the common language (English) will also shift in pronunciation to accommodate that common accent.

[@MrGanglius]

​@@shadypalmtree2989 Don't forget that the terms language and dialect are not scientifically defined in the field of linguistics. As Ellie Wiesel said, "The difference between a dialect and a language is an army and a navy." Sometimes I like to think about Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, as people in different areas slowly changed the way they spoke. There was once a veritable spectrum from some Proto-Spanish to Proto-French to Proto-Italian, with slight changes between each town village along the way. "British English" isn't really a thing, considering how different say a Scouse accent is from Received Pronunciation. Neither is "American English", considering how different a Louisiana accent is from a Boston accent. Also a creole refers to a language born from contact between two different languages, like Hawaiian Pidgin, or Haitian Patois.

The real problem with the French is cultural. It's in the French culture at this point to judge other people's accent and grasp on languages. They actually do the same thing for foreigners who are trying to speak French. Which is funny to me as a foreigner, because whenever they laugh at my French, I laugh at their English. This, is of course without feeling any animosity towards the French. Lovely people, but a little bit judgy 😂

Last summer I went to Oxford with EF for two weeks and here we had english classes in the morning. I remember that every time I spoke with french people they had the "fear" of being judged by me, but I always explained to them that we were there to learn english so there wasn't any problem if we made any mistake and my English wasn't good either. So yeah, I definitely notice this particular trait of their culture and as the guy said in the video, you are afraid to talk if you feel judged, so it's something to overcome

So I decided to go to the most crowded street, find a cafe and use their internet to make a Whatsapp call. I go into an ice cream shop and say (in French) “do you have wi-fi?”, pronouncing the word wi-fi CORRECTLY. The woman and the old guy there starts lauging, they were like “do we have wi- what?”.

I think French people are good at English, I work in recruitment and often have to check the level of English. You are right though that French people are afraid of speaking up. The word squirrel is hard for French people to say but the word Écureuil is just as hard for English people to say, I recall this was a topic of disucssion when I did my French exchange :) Thanks for the videos, they are highly amusing :)

[@EnteiFire4]

People are afraid of being judged for their accent, especially by native speakers. As long as they understand most of what you're saying, native speakers don't really care about the accent.

[@markschiller5596]

This is so funny to me because my dad's name is Bryan and French people ALWAYS say "Bryan is in the kitchen" to him.

I’m looking forward to meeting monsieur Marsaud... And the first thing I say to him will be the first line of French in my first textbook at school. “La famille Marsaud est dans le jardin”.

As any non native speaker of English to pronounce “world”. It is amazing how the r-l combination trips people up.

[@theinfantmetroid]

When I was in French as an exchange student for a week the english class was learning about australia and on god the teacher really said 'okay pupils please fuckus (focus). So, as I was saying, there is a lot of bitches (beaches) in australia' Also, funfact about the 'squirrel is ALWAYS hard in ALL languages' thing; in the Austrian dialect, the word for the TAIL of a squirrel is 'Oachkatzlschwoaf' and it's the TYPICAL thing you make foreigners say because they ALWAYS fuck it up because its ridiculously hard. Also they typically mispronounce the 'ch' as a 'sh' which is additionally funny because THEN youre basically saying 'ass cat tail' instead of 'squirrel's tail'.

it's literally the same thing in the US. I took 4 years of french in high school by native english speakers using corporate textbooks and hardly learned anything. In college I took 1 year of french by a West African native french speaker and learned more in that 1 year than in 4 years of college. Sadly I haven't taken it in a few years and I'm graduating next spring, but I'd like to get back on track if i can find a good way.

[@ellax325]

I relate to this. Took french for years in school went to college and became semi fluent in one semester because the course was taught entirely in french by a born Parisian. I'm on my way to being fluent now. It's all about immersion.

[@Poussindesdomtom]

I used to work as a runner in a restaurant in Ireland. My biggest nightmare was the _"crème brûlée"_ I tried the french prononciation (since it's a french word): not working, english prononciation: not so much... and I'm not even talking about the steak cooking methods, _"rare"_ , "medium rare" ... I always prayed they'd ask for a medium well one! ^^ Something else is still pretty difficult for me: the verbs ending with a "t" at the 3rd person like _"it consists in sthg..."_
