Absolutely love this as a French speaker. So fun that usually, your pronunciation of the languages is solid af and then French comes into the game to trip you up lmao

[@jccbm]

Hahaha I'm glad you enjoyed it. I feel I struggle a bit with vowels, and French did me dirty on that :(

[@thatcatguy7580]

same this was fun to watch

[@ryc796]

French is definitely a very vowel-fucky language (saying this as a native speaker)

[@peregrination3643]

"French is the Danish of the Romance Languages." Ah, Danish, so notorious that it's a meme.

[@jccbm]

Kinda true though 🤣

[@who_gave_me_a_pen9463]

I once tried to speed run French on Duolingo because I’m French Canadian. Easy peasy, right? No. I’ve never been more aware of dialects and vocabulary differences between countries in my LIFE.

[@jccbm]

🤣🤣 that should've been funny

[@FuIbion]

Haha Canadian French is sont different x) btw i'm French French

[@Dilouchka]

As a French professor assistant, this is a good reminder of why French students struggle with writing! I know writing is difficult of course, but sometimes I still get so annoyed with repeating the same tips over and over! 😅

[@jccbm]

It can be a bit of a nightmare!

[@peregrination3643]

I respect the Dexter's laboratory part. I can't study French without repeating, "OmLAAAY-du-fro-MAGE." I probably saw that episode once and it keeps haunting me.

[@jccbm]

It's a staple of 90's kids, never forget 🧀

[@fincentvangogh]

im not fluent in french but "salut" is hello and goodbye in informal situations, au revoir is the formal goodbye iirc

[@fincentvangogh]

also, as a general rule, you usually pronounce the "s" in words if the next word begins with a vowel or with a h. such as in "nous etuidons"

[@jccbm]

Thanks for clarifying!

[@fincentvangogh]

@@jccbm np! dont take what i say as gospel, as the one thing im certain about in french is that it does not follow rules. its just as frustrating as english is

[@pregacagegaca1341]

@@jccbm i love your videos mo much

[@UmbryClown]

how can you pronounce french better than my french teacher wtf

[@TheTunemaker4130]

Once you get spanish you can skip all of the skills and take the unit one test immediately, it will be the fastest speedrun ever

[@jccbm]

Goes against the rules I set though, placement tests are forbidden since long time ago 👀

[@aroma13]

The liaison system is works like this: when a word ends in a vowel,and the next word starts with a vowel,a consonant is needed to break them up,most of the time it's s or t,friends=amis/ami/(inbetween the ,,//" i'm writing how the words sound),but my friends=mes amis/mez ami/,he is=il est/il e/ but,is he?=est-il?/et il/,beaux/bo/ and vieux/viö/ change to bel/bel/ and vieil/viey/,but by far the worst is the ,,frankish-h",basicly,all h's in latin words disappered,but when the franks took over france,they brought new germanic words into the language that did have an h,germanic h in words like hache/ahsh/(related to spanish hacha) and that h even got attached to latin words like haut/o/,,hight",and so say les hôtes/lez ot/,,the hosts" but les hautes/le ot/ the hights and les haches/le ahsh/ the axes

[@jccbm]

Thanks for the explanation! I didn't know most of that.

[@dianawarren5706]

Merci beaucoup pour le speedrun français. J'utilise aussi duolingo pour apprendre le français. C'est très amusant. Thank you very much for the French speedrun. I also use duolingo to learn French. It is is very fun.

[@jccbm]

Thanks for watching! I also love baguettes!

[@cinnamoon8593]

Omg I’m learning French and I just got so happy because I could read that!!!

[@zvoid_error000]

Wait question cuz same, would aussi go better at the end of the sentence? "J'utilise Duolingo pour apprendre le Francais aussi" sentence structure messes me up so bad

[@cinnamoon8593]

@@zvoid_error000 I think they did it correctly, the sentence structure confuses me too but I think I’ve seen things like that before. Partially with the whole adjective before noun thing but also I feel like I’ve seen sentence structures similar to that one I just can’t put my finger on it

[@ozzy3119]

as someone who just finished their final french exam after 7 years of studying the language, this was very amusing to watch 😌

[@jccbm]

Cool, congrats! Also, I'm glad my suffering and slow transition to insanity have been succesfully farmed for the sake of amusement. I'd do it again 🥴

[@TheTiggerMike]

Yiddish actually isn't too difficult once you can read the script, I've done some of the course. First four skills in the course are just focused on learning the alphabet.

[@jccbm]

Makes sense. As I understand it it's veeeeery similar to German.

[@TheTiggerMike]

@@jccbm Absolutely. I would sort of compare it to Galician/Portuguese. Derived from a common ancestor (Middle High German) and they have many, many cognates.

[@mansoorkemal7588]

I think I really might learn some Spanish but it’s great that you found a way to speed things up, especially since I am going to Europe next year and I might not finish the whole Duolingo course because I am also learning Spanish 😊

[@shigekax]

I love how you mostly sounded like you understood what was going on Also where I'm from in france we have less phonemes but it just leads to misunderstandings with the other regions lol

[@jccbm]

You guys should maybe try conquering the rest of France so we all have to go through less phonemes. It's a win-win situation 🤷‍♂️

[@xavierhillier4108]

de quelle parti de la France viens-tu ?

[@Lilithychou]

Extremly funny to watch you speacking in french. And yes, you are right: french is the danish of the Roman language. Actually, the guys who created the french orthography were drunk that day. This is the only logical explanation I found. Btw, I am french!

[@jailsonhenrique2150]

Your French prononciation is excellent.

[@Loafsandfishes]

😂 the monkey part killed me

[@flawyerlawyertv7454]

Very good indeed!

[@DennisTheZZZ]

2:26 This sentence could both mean „I am a man“ or „I‘m following a man“ because the first person conjugation of the verbs être and suivre are the same word: „Je suis.“ I hate French sometimes.

[@FriedCroissant545]

[@DeeN4sty]

Hi JCCBM. I have a question. How do you get all those tracks from artists in your videos. Isn’t there a risk for a copyright claim/strike. How does it work ? Maybe just using them for a few seconds at a time is fine or whatever ? I’m hesitant using them myself. Also, where do you get all these musics in the background ? Thanks for you help. Love your content. 😊

[@jccbm]

In general, using them for 2-3 seconds only shouldn't be a problem

[@DeeN4sty]

@@jccbm Yeah, I don’t know if that’s written anywhere as an official rule, but thank you for reply anyway.

[@legonlavia]

I'm not an evil person but after watching this video I'd like to see you doing a course of Irish with pre-reform spelling (if there was one) ;) Some examples from Wikipedia: beirbhiughadh -> beiriú imthighthe -> imithe faghbháil -> fáil

[@jccbm]

Watching me suffer is a core part of this saga, so that would be awesome! But I don't think Duolingo would adhere the course to old rules. Looks like Scottish Gaelic on cocaine.

[@headstanding_Penguin]

So basically welsh?

[@legonlavia]

@@headstanding_Penguin As far as I know, though a bit strange, Welsh orthography is pretty consistent and you know how to spell every word just by looking at it, in Irish the situation is the same, but in pre-reform there were tons silent letters

[@colay71]

U r the best!

[@kader5270]

The chat said French people like there family

[@jccbm]

Yes, I think because there were about 3 lessons related to family.

[@The_Soul_King]

That's so fun to watch as a French 😂

[@Countcomfortable]

I’m from Canada, and throughout elementary, middle, and High school we were taught that the Quebecois dialect of the French language is referred to by French people as “Dirty French” because it’s apparently much more casual than regular French, however, this could be wrong

[@Nokolhege]

So I'm actually confused, High Valyrian isn't on the wheel and there isn't a video of it.. what happened?

[@jccbm]

Sometimes, when editing, I break the order in which I did them in real time, for whatever reason that might be 👀

[@flawyerlawyertv7454]

08:45 Wtf Lol

[@alyanahzoe]

i just got a duolingo ad 😂😂😂

[@SwagHyde]

French is my first language and I feel you deeply on the silent letters grammar in general is really kicking my ass in french english is so much nicer in comparison every language got it's quirks and weird loan words and rules but french vs english? english wins 100%, it's way less confusing learning english if you know french is fine but going from english to french is hell

I am french and you did great ! I know it’s quite hard and honestly for me the silent letter aren’t the most hardest part of French , it’s like , this Present : je suis heureux Passé : j été heureux Futur : je serais heureux Passe composée : j ai était heureux Etc Also the difference between a and à is you use a for a feeling (mostly) and à for a place

As a german speaker, spanish has it's weirdness too... like the ll, j and ñ ll is kind of the german j, j would be ch and ñ no idea

[@jccbm]

I think every language does 😅 But French is very phonetically inconsistent with the writing

[@sybilyvonne]

in french there are 50 different spices of conjugation be warned.

[@christiang8758]

So is it just the first unit that you are speed running? Bc the entire French course on duolingo would take like years lol

[@jccbm]

Yes! In the old format, languages had between 1 and 10 checkpoints (Navajo had 1, French had 10) so I did the first one only to standardize the length. The new format is much longer and slower

​@@strongaze I heard someone say Duolingo can take you to B2 but it's important to use other resourses and solidify what you need to with notes. Communicating with native speakers and watching videos/tv in the language you're trying to learn is also helpful!
