knows how to discuss global warming in French but doesn't remember how to say 'mushroom' HAHSHAHhahs this video was so fun to make! I genuinely got so much out of practicing French every single day-- if you need to kick yourself back into shape, just start speaking. even by yourself, everyday. then speak some more! let me know if you'd do a challenge like this ~

this video included everything i was afraid of: vocab loss and mixing up words or concepts from different languages while speaking a language.

[@tony664]

That’s why you should embrace it and not worry about it.

For me, an Algerian, not speaking fluent (I'm at B1-B2) french makes me feel dumb (even though I speak 5 other languages). I've learnt french at school for 9 years but I honestly can't speak it as fluently as I should be. This video is encouraging me to start learning it again 🌟♥️

[@josee2000]

As a Canadian who has been learning French since forever and still can't speak it fluently, same.

[@elyssespeaks]

you’re not dumb, you live in a multilingual country so the fact that you manage multiple languages at all is impressive :) following Algeria’s linguistic changes recently has been so interesting, i’m eager to see if french continues to be as important in the future!

[@fatisummer9106]

Cuz you kind forced to learn it ,you had to and needed to , you were't actually interested in it or have passion to learn it , when we don't feel passion about something the process became a burden rather than a fun journey

[@leonKennedy0023]

I'm Algerian too, and I feel the same, lol. My English is not perfect, but it's definitely much better than my French. I can read and listen to advanced content, but when it comes to writing and speaking, I'm still stuck at around a B1 level. Whenever I go chatting on language apps, people often ask me about where I'm from. When I say Algeria, they'll be like, 'Oh, you guys speak French, right?' Then I'll be like, ah It's complicated yes and no, and I continue explaining the situation. Haha

[@lexiealbert7072]

I love love love seeing your videos from your lessons online because I am absolutely terrified to join a class but knowing that it's not super embarrassing or the end of the world to make a mistake is sooo encouraging, god knows I'd be overthinking my mistakes all day long ❤

[@elyssespeaks]

That’s why i love making these videos!

[@kaylamaro]

I’m in the intro Spanish super sprint right now and absolutely loving it. It’s so exciting seeing what my classes might be like once I have more conversational abilities!

[@estherandherlittleworld7821]

This is great 😍! I need to do this with some of my languages, I guess I did lose a lot of vocab in Russian and German

[@Kafka-ez4vz]

I speak both german and french and i did notice(maybe it is a feeling*) that like your personality when speaking french is different than the one when you speak german.

[@elyssespeaks]

it usually just depends on how confident i feel :)

[@mhazune]

Elysse!! Can you make more videos for ppl learning Portuguese? 💚

[@GabrielHernandez-uu2wn]

Hi Elysse! I like your channel so much. It's so hard to find someone who is so interested in learning multiple languages. I have a request for you. Would you please make a video speaking in Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese)?

pronunciation tip: despite femme being spelled with an e, the current pronunciation doesn't reflect that spelling anymore. it's more like "une famme'

ahhh bonne chance! espero que mejores muchoooo

[@jssmedialangs]

I'm planning to learn French next year so I'm excited. 😄 Maybe I'll do this... but the way my internet is set up... 😫 I don't want to fail because my connection was too weak. 😭 4:34 My cousin speaks a dialect of French and I remember him saying how it's a fast language. I'm legit over here like, "...this is SLOW?" I feel like I speak slow in general so this is going to be interesting. 😅

[@elyssespeaks]

you can always try out single classes before committing to the sprint! and HAHAHA that’s some good perspective

[@robertmoreau8663]

Pourquoi déteste tu le français?

[@aryanr3054]

This is so sick. Quick question though, with the sprint, if im A1 barely stepping into A2,, is there like a roadmap of classes to follow or is it just kinda free for all? Also, how long are some of the classes? Would it be possible to do 2 in one day? (Sorry for all the questions!!!) I thoroughly enjoy your channel and content, keep it up ur gr888888!!!!!!!! :)))

[@elyssespeaks]

they have a curriculum but you don’t have to go in order! and no, if you do the super sprint it’s 1 class a day, the regular sprint is one class every other day

[@katherineelisabeth4387]

From my own experience: there's a roadmap for classes at every CEFR stage but keep in mind you may not be able to find them in the perfect order every time because of availability issues (depends on the language/level). Every class is 60 minutes long. You cannot take two classes in one day with the Sprint, and if you do the "regular" 15/month Sprint, you also can't take more than 5 classes in a week (running Monday to Sunday). Definitely familiarize yourself with the handbook; they are only able to afford hosting the Sprint because it's hard to finish!

Do you have apps you recommend or technique’s if your too nervous to like speak with other people if that makes sense?

If they offered Norwegian, I would've burrowed some money and tried the super sprint! That would've been motivation to study every single day.

Having been fluent at some point in the past makes getting back to a similar level so much easier. Ne serais-tu pas intéressée à apprendre l'italien ou le catalan ? Nicht so schwierig wenn man schon Spanisch und Französisch kann.

9:30 C'est marrant parce qu'en France, les libéraux sont plutôt les gens de droite car on utilise le terme libéral au sens économique. Alors qu'aux Etats-Unis, les libéraux sont les gens à gauche du spectre politique parce on utilise le terme libéral au sens social. Donc j'imagine que ça a dû être un peu confus pour toi lorsqu'elle t'as dit "C'est pas libéral, c'est de gauche"

[@elyssespeaks]

HAHAHA c’est vrai!! mais j’avais pas fait la recherche donc merci pour l’explication ❤️

[@wertyuiopasd6281]

C'est juste que la France est un taudis d'extrême-gauche depuis plus d'un siècle hein. Le libéralisme a toujours été de gauche depuis l'origine.
