How I Learned French in 30 Days 🇫🇷

Is it possible to learn a language in one month? How proficient or fluent can you get after less than a year of studying? Well, this is how I learned French in 30 Days!
Even though I still have a long way to go until I'm fluent in French, I honestly couldn't have done this language-learning challenge without the help of the people around me, and so I want to give the BIGGEST thank you to:
1. My friend Chiara for helping me out - check her and her music out! / chiarapetn
2. My tutor/bro Lambert - here's his page if you want to work with him too: www.italki.com/en/teacher/652...
3. And my other awesome tutors Alan and Olivier!
A LITTLE NOTE:
Hi there! Please keep in mind this is my first time seriously learning another language. I’m not as experienced as other creators in this niche and thus wanted to make a video that documents the emotional journey of my learning as opposed to recommending specific methods. If you’re looking for specific methods, there are a ton of fantastic channels and resources out there that can help you out! :)

Any suggestions for what language I should try learning next? 🤔

[@nikhilmuvva8246]

JAPANESE

[@matthazenberg5326]

I think if you can nail the pronunciation of Spanish it’s so similar to French with it being a Latin language it will be easier. Also imo it’s the most useful language when traveling besides English!

[@t.samirjon2160]

Chinese or Uzbek. I can teach you🤭

[@aeli-as]

Haitian Creole lol. It’s a French dialect so it’ll be very easy to learn imo

[@Eleni520]

Non, y’a pas à nier, le gars est bouillant ! Je ne pensais vraiment pas qu’une personne pouvait acquérir un tel niveau en seulement un mois d’apprentissage. Mais finalement en France, nous apprenons l’anglais pendant 7ans à l’école et sincèrement, si 5% des bacheliers parlent vraiment bien l’anglais ( bilingue ) c’est la fin du monde. La meilleure façon d’apprendre le plus rapidement possible et d’acquérir un niveau vraiment satisfaisant, c’est de le faire soi même. Et il nous le montre bien dans cette vidéo, qui est au passage vraiment cool !

[@enory5983]

the most beautiful reward after such an high effort is simply to be able to understand and to talk with people on your target language.

[@jolly7728]

That was so cool! What a challenge, actually two challenges: making this video (so very well) and learning to speak French (awesome)! You get an A+ on both of these projects. Do think the way French is usually taught needs to change. I'd like to see the language taught using only sounds that sound close to English (do the same for speakers of other languages). This would help the student to gain confidence. And then, the lessons would gradually introduce sounds that are uniquely French, from the easiest sounds to the most difficult. Never mind forming sentences to navigate ones way around France. This will come later once the issues of French pronunciation have been laid to rest.

[@nontology]

great job bro. you have a pleasant and funny personality too. thanks for the content.

[@michaela.4675]

Bonjour Ameer! Just stumbled upon your video and I must make a comment. I studied 2 years of French in community college and just completely forgot about it after working full time. I've always loved France since I was a child, and dreamed of someday going there someday. My dream came true as I went to Paris last October for a week, then I went to London afterwards. It was very short, but I'd say I enjoyed it a lot. From the moment I got off the airplane, to taking Le Metro, to speaking to cashiers and security, knowing a bit of French goes along way. I got lost at one point and had to speak broken French. It was a bit embarrassing, I'm probably A1 as well, but when they saw the effort, they really tried to help me out. The french is notoriously aloof and snobbish if you don't speak to them in French. I could just imagine the people I speak to here in the US who doesn't speak a lot of English and the struggle they must have. Learning a language is a journey, and it takes a lifetime to perfect it. Thank you for making this video! I might go back to France next year and see other parts of the country. Take care!

you are inspirational. I am half French and I have never had a conversation with any of them ever in my life. My mom translates our short messages back and forth over the phone. But I really missed the opportunity to reconnect with my grandmother before she passed. We left Europe to America when I was five. That is when we stopped speaking French. I have taken years of French all the way to university and I still don't speak French. I feel so ashamed. But I'm returning to France this next Christmas. My brother, parents, and I will all be returning to France for the first time since we left. I have 10 months and a crap load of anxiety. I really want to walk into my Godparents home greeting them with my loving expression from my own words. I want to convey myself and I feel so inspired that I can make this happen.
