Acquiring a language - Intermediate French

You can read the transcript for free here: innerfrench.com/podcast/01-le...
Learn Authentic French in Context. No Grammar, just Real-Life Topics.
In this first episode, we will talk about language acquisition theory and the work of Professor Stephen Krashen after which this podcast was designed.
You'll find out what should be your priority as a french learner, and why you should not worry too much about grammar.

[@frederic2965]

I don’t know how but this guy makes me believe I speak French!

[@Light_Speed0]

Same lol but I think it's because he spoke slowly

[@jadorealissawhite-gluz5706]

He is really slow and clear, if I heard this video from someone else I wouldn't understand a single word

[@BloomerMindset]

Yeah, he speaks slowly and clearly. More importantly, he isn't speaking to you like a child or as if you're a native speaker. He has that nice middle ground.

[@federicoacevedo2649]

Same for me

[@petit_ours_pedo6994]

I’m french and it’s very fun

[@chilthekite]

The Académie Française should give this guy a medal. He's far and away the best creator of content for those studying French.

[@gent8940]

I feel like a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ being able to breathe underwater because this guy speaks so clearly 👀🧠🗣

[@testcardII]

You’re the best French teacher ever. Merci.

[@jez9999]

This guy speaks a little slower than normal French, and for that reason, my comprehension jumps from 10% to nearly 100%. lol

[@jefersonholguin3573]

moi aussi, il parle doucement :)

[@JedHurricane]

haha, I just found this channel and found it strange that I understood more than usual. It's his pace and clarity in the way he speaks.

[@mwasoob]

JedHurricane and his vocabulary. he doesn't use a ton of filler words.

[@estebanlopez1701]

Me too

[@nomaynemcintosh5462]

There is no reason to speak at a faster pace, unless you have a time constraint, or have a need to interject, or want to show off how fast you can speak. When you speak slower, not super slow, you will sound more confident, wiser and more intelligent! Sometimes the speed is actually covering up a weakness....

[@jamesdavidson2960]

Hugo is one of the unsung heroes of KZbin. If you've reached the intermediate plateau with your French, able to communicate at a decent level but unable to make further progress, still struggling to watch films without subtitles for example, this is the resource you've been looking for. Thank you Hugo for making all this fantastic content available for free!

[@ericaholmes1542]

This is so helpful. For me, I noticed it's easier when I stop trying to translate in my head and just listen closely. I don't get lost as easily this way. Maybe I don't get every word but of course I can tell when I'm understanding and when I'm not. My point is, don't try too hard and you will be suprised that it helps.

[@yega3k]

Oui, c’est vrai. I’m trying to stop translating and just listen.

[@Aranxdano]

exactly!

[@kanungoetieko8562]

It's easier when you just listen to french instead of translating. Listening to the news in french and watching cartoons with my kids did magic for me.

That's the trick!

[@Johnpdv]

I've started to acquire French just 2 weeks ago, from SCRATCH, and today on the 1st day of my third week i'm able to understand like 80-90% of what you said on this video. I've tryharded so much during this quarentine, I studied for at least 8hs a day - every single day - and i'm still doing it. Most of the time, like 70% or more, I was headed to listening (Krashen's method). It's working reaaally great! I'm now in a mix of proudness and happiness right after this video. Thank you for the content! And guys, the comprehensible input is TRUE! Merci!

[@dslacie25]

Yup need tips here as well.

[@yasminadebieche]

Sameee 😅🤩

[@johnpulido7879]

I can relate, I started learning like 4 days ago and I understood around 80% about he was saying too, but maybe I think that knowing Spanish and English helps a lot too, for the cognates.

[@sulekha3771]

8hrs ? 😂i zone out after 30 mins. I'm more of an auditory and kinesthetic learner so book work and reading french grammar books aren't effective in the slightest for me🙃

[@kirklurkpu4470]

This podcast is surprisingly comprehensible to majority of novice French speakers. For the people who hasn't found this yet, good luck on finding this masterpiece. I am shocked that I can understand it without translating it in my head or thinking twice. It's a big help.

[@terrywong2969]

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Hugo, for making this excellent podcast! I must say, as listening materials for beginners and intermediate learners, these episodes are just impeccable. The length of each episode is appropriate - not too short in a way that contains too little information. The words are uttered in a moderate speed and a clear fashion. And the intermittent jingles - they are just perfect indicators of the change of ideas/topics and jazz up the listening experience. Keep up the good work! My learning of French counts on you! :D

[@innerFrench]

Thank you for your kind words Terry! I'm glad you find it helpful and you can count on me to keep making new episodes ;)

I am thrilled to have found this site. when i listened to lesson 1, i understood many of the words but could not easily string it together to understand the entire context easily, the second time, i listened as i read it and was overwhelmed with how i could understand about 85% of the context. I have always been frustrated going from beginner french to all other intermediate french podcasts as the jump was too big. This podcast is the perfect next step for me. I am very good at memorizing words and grammar rules so that i read and speak far better than I can comprehend. Now finally i have something that allows my brain to listen and understand so that my listening comprehension can improve. I am simply thrilled.

When you said that if you have hope about learning a language, it's easy to learn is so true. I'd tried learning French my first year of college and I didn't take French 2 because I'd thought that I wouldn't be able to speak it and I'd wished that I would've never gave up. I am learning French again ,years later, and I still can't pronounce a lot of words, but I am still learning and praticing more because I know that I will get it.

this is already going so badly are there any tips for me to better understand french through listening???

[@KylaeighA]

sub to unus annus Just listen as much as you can and watch videos that have accurate subtitles and slow them down. Read as you listen, you don't necessarily need to understand everything but you do need to get your brain accustomed to the sounds of the language and have it subconsciously match up the spelling with what it's hearing. Everyone starts somewhere, good luck!
