Reacting to Gabie Kook Speaking French - StreetFrench.org

** NOTE **
About the liaison in "Je suis américain." :
What I didn't say is that, it's correct to do the liaison.
But after the verb "être" the phonetics rule is that YOU CAN BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
And today most people don't say it anymore.
So it's not incorrect to do the liaison (but it sounds a bit off to us because we're not used to hearing it as much anymore.)
And it's also not incorrect to not do the liaison here!

Salut, je suis de Malaisie et je peux parler la langue française et c'est tellement amusant quand je peux parler français avec mes amis de France et que je l'apprends d'eux.Pour la première fois, j'apprends à parler français, c'est très dur mais quand j'apprends tous les jours avec mes amis français, cela me permet de parler couramment le français.

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

To address the actual question (belatedly, alas): In general you can’t TELL, so to speak, the gender of a noun; you must learn (memorize) its gender when you learn the word. Clues do occur, however. “Salad” in French is “salade”, and the final “e” is a tip-off that the word in question may be feminine (although certainly not guaranteed in all cases.) The video itself explains why “sandwich” is masculine.

[@dotdotdot...176]

I used to learn/speak French as a kid and I picked it up really easily and got compliments on my accent and pronunciation, but I lost most of it after the age 10 or so because I had no one to talk to in French after I moved to a school that didn't teach French. But now as an adult I rarely have exposure to French and it's SO difficult for me, especially reading aloud or pronouncing. So I always have so much respect for people who learned French as adults or are comfortable speaking it after years.

[@sunsetpeach7y]

In Spanish language we use the feminine and masculine as well, it's kind of easy for us to learn the language

[@anaiskbl]

As a french, it's super interesting to read this... Is it because of the intonations ?

[@alexandratheodoulou2956]

@@anaiskbl it's difficult to explain, it's just beautiful in general😍 the intonations definitely play a role in that, but I believe that it's the sounds of french that mainly make it so beautiful!

[@da96103]

It is because French language is rhythm-based while English is intonation-based. In English you say: My name is Johnny. All five syllables is spoken at the same length. La-la-la-la-la. In French you say: Je m'appelle Johnny. You would group the sentence into two groups because there are two ideas. Group 1 is Je m'appelle, group 2 is Johnny. The last syllable in each group must be longer than the earlier syllables. So the sentence would sound like La-la-laaaaaaa La-laaaaaaa. You don't do that in English unless you are announcing the winner of Miss Universe. And the winner is...... Miss France.

[@Street_French]

ah yeah it's ok, if you listen to French a lot and pay attention to it, you'll improve :)

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

Simply put: you do the liaison when the next word starts with a vowel or "H" (all Hs are silent, so you just consider them as non-existent) examples: Des Américains (deh zah-meh-ree-'cain'), Les états-unis (leh zeh-tah zew~-nee), Un homme (~uhn nohm) edit: "S" pronounced like "z" when it's followed by a vowel, when the "s" isn't at the beginning of the word. Isabelle: ee-zah-bel, Casino: cah-zee-noh (not cah-see-noh), le sous-sol (luh sou-sol)

[@sbean98]

“Pas encore” really throws me for a loop... so many people don’t make the liaison, and when I do, I feel like I sound like a little old man 😂

I see that you go over ordering food. I’m trying to learn French. Most of my use of the little bit of French I know has been in my university’s cafeteria. I’m very close with the workers. A few of them are from Haiti and speak French. They have me speak only in French. They ask me “Qu’est-ce que tu voudrais?” or some thing similar sounding. They taught me to respond “Je voudrais (food).” Is this a more casual way to order food?

[@Street_French]

ah that's so cool that you get to speak in French with them! yeah a more casual way would be to say "je vais prendre..." or "je prends.." but all of it works^^

[@MaxSujyGermany]

French vary depending on where you are from. I am Québécois (Montréal), and I would probably say "Je voudrais" or "Je prendrais" more then "je prends" or "je vais prendre". In fact, I would probably say "J'prendrais" or "J'voudrais". Canada, Haiti, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa, Pondycherry (India), etc, so many places speak French and some don't even understand each other much. Even in Canada if I go too far East near Atlantic Ocean, I struggle to understand what they are saying and i'm native French-Canadian speaker.

[@davidsebouk3673]

Tricky question here I would generally not respond with a long sentence using a verb . Just by what I want adding "s il vous plais" at the end . Now they are technically correct to teach you to answer with the verb in the same tense as the question . And by the way they use "tu" with you and not the usual "vous". Vous is "casual" in that context.

It's interesting that it's more common to affirm the question of "Chauffée?" by repeating the word and saying please. I think in English, "Yes, please," or even "Yes, warmed up, please," would be more common than "Warmed up, please." Not sure why it feels more natural to include "yes" instead of leaving it out, but there we go.

[@sfssfsfsf7522]

i think it's cause they were asking a yes/no question: "do you want______?" which needs a reply (unless you want to sound rude as if you're ignoring them) you can't reply by just stating "I want it warmed." because that's not really a reply, more like a statement unrelated to what they just asked. anyway that's just my opinion XD I just speak english, but I don't know how it works technically XD

[@Street_French]

ah yeah so we could totally reply with a "oui, s'il vous plaît." but we can also say it like she said. and I talked maybe a bit too long about that haha I got excited because it's those little details I don't see students do. but saying "oui merci" or "oui s'il vous plaît" wouldn't be wrong at all^^

[@sfssfsfsf7522]

​@@Street_French i think it might actually be english that's the odd one out then cause i see that in other languages all the time. especially asian languages. Like in japanese or korean, they'd say the statement with a question mark at the end and the usual reply would be to just confirm that statement by repeating the statement without the question mark. I don't know why this doesn't make sense in english. i THINK it's cause in english you are asking a question with a "yes or no" answer, like the reciever has to choose between two options and you're not assuming they're going to say yes, but in the french or like, the japanese version the asker is actually wanting confirmation on whether the statement they just asked is correct, which is a more common way of gaining information in french im guessing then in english?

I don't know how long she lived in French but for a Korean native her accent/pronunciation is really good. The Korean language is made in such way that native speakers have trouble pronouncing words in foreign languages. I live in Montreal where we speak English and French. Most of my friends who have been here for over 20 years still have a thick Korean accent when they speak English or French. C'est pas facile! :)

[@Street_French]

[@אסא-ח7ו]

well she was born in Argentina and grew up in Spain and the US so she would have less korean influence on other languages. also your friends who have thick accents may have to do with age not with their mother tongue

In English, we say typically asked "warmed up?" or "Toasted?" and just reply "yes please". ^.^ This was very interesting!!

[@Poussindesdomtom]

Well... as a french native, I'd say: that's the same in french! _"Chauffé ?"_ _"Oui s'il vous plait"_ or just _"s'il vous plait"._ What Gabie Kook said isn't _"wrong"_ , it's just not the typical answer for that kind of question. _"Chauffé s'il vous plait"_ is more when you have a special request after ordering (and you know they have a microwave oven).

[@madamedent]

With "warmed" (we say "toasted," as it's going under a broiler or in a sandwich press usually and gets crispy on one side) --- I would only answer in that way if I wasn't sure at first that I had heard the question correctly and was inviting them to correct me if I had misheard. If I was the person taking the order I wouldn't find it rude at all. Though it would come out more like, "Toasted, yes, please" (I wouldn't skip the "yes" part, otherwise it might sound like... I hadn't actually heard their question/been listening, and was just adding that detail to my order by coincidence... which, I don't know, might annoy some people). Thank you for the video!

[@JonathonV]

I agree, I would always include the “yes” and the “please”. Only repeating the one word “toasted” makes it sound firmer than it would be without the “yes” … not rude exactly, but blunt.

[@Street_French]

ah interesting,I guess some people in French might repeat the "chauffé" part also to make sure that they heard correctly but in general it's not necessarily that

[@Street_French]

ah but we always say "s'il vous plaît" so it's not rude^^ "chauffé s'il vous plaît "

[@maxg4458]

I always just say Oui, svp or Oui mrc

[@ebick77]

In American English, I’d usually expect a server to ask, “Would you like it warmed up?” With the response being, “Yes, please.” Or “Yes, I’d like it warmed up.” But if you’re at a shop during a busy time of day, it wouldn’t be unusual at all for the server to be working fast and shorten the question to “warmed?” or “warmed up?” Or similarly, “toasted?” I wouldn’t consider it rude, just a quicker version of the question. Americans would also generally use “warmed/warmed up” or “heated up” more for certain baked goods/foods (pie, muffins, cookies, quiche, pizza slice, etc.) and “toasted” for bread or bread-based items (bagels, bread slice, panini-type sandwich, etc.). Thanks for the video, it’s helpful to hear language examples from everyday contexts!

Regarding chauffée: I guess that’s why when they asked me in my hotel in Paris if I had a reservation in French, and I answered “oui” they all laughed at me and spoke English. I should have probably said “reservation svp”. I guess it would sound rude in English to repeat the word back. Like kind of impatient. Regarding porc: she pronounces the c at the end of porc because they teach us in French classes outside of France be CAREFUL with crfl and you ALWAYS pronounce those letters at the end of words 😤

ah no I don't think in that context it would work. what were they asking you? they asked if you had a reservation? ah that's a interesting, I'm sure there's a rule but as with every rule there's exceptions in French ... what words did they teach you like that where you have to pronounce the last letter? I can think of "clef" that doesn't work for exemple

You're a great teacher and have a great channel. As for the subject of Gabie Kook though...not a fan and I think she is either not selfaware or just doesn't care (based on how I've seen pased verses more recent videos and her attitude as remained consistent) on her ego. The last nail in the coffin that had me not care for her personally was a combination of when she interviewed her sister in law and her immediate reaction after hearing about all her miscarriages before a successful pregnancy was "I hope that doesn't happen to me!"...Like *really*? I just find that awful that her first response is not one of consolement and sympathy, but making it about her. The second thing was a recent video, which she even changed the title after all the backlash of it, 'Thought's Post Lockdown'. But...back on topic with languages, I find it really less impressive of her language ability because of how strong her American accent is in anything but Korean. I would assume, based on the traveling and people I've met through travel, that someone who had lived multiple years somewhere didn't even try to work on their pronunciation. But *hey*, maybe she's one of those people who just can't get rid of their accent...even though she grew up in Spain and should have an Argentinian accent? Eh, who knows?

i've watched her randomly on jolly & a couple of her own videos per algorithm but she has quite a noticeable 'korean' accent in her american english that you hear so much in LA (i think that's where she was from junior high till college?) and she repeatedly says she's craving 'for' something (or will say 'a' soup), don't know why her husband doesn't correct her, he can sweetly remind her in private and i'm sure she won't take offense with her hubby, who knows...her accent in spanish is also influenced by her korean i think because her parents spoke only korean to her at home, anyways, don't know her personal family history but think she's very much korean at heart/at the core judging by the thumbnails of her recent videos, am kind of disappointed in her succumbing to getting the cookie cutter plastic surgery face (they have this face format/model the plastic surgeons in korea create per facial features korean women prefer...hope someone in her circle stops her next time she tries to go for a procedure, she's too young and was cute before-

Ironically, most of the ENVIOUS commenters here that are accusing Gabie of not being perfect in some of her foreign languages are making tons of grammatical and orthographic mistakes themselves. Talk about pot, kettle, and black. Besides, her show is not about languages but about cooking and her family life. She has been the first to admit that her foreign tongues performance is not perfect, but the important thing is that she can communicate in them perfectly well.

This is so cool! I'm so impressed by how fluent Gabbie has remained in her French. I guess when she started speaking it again, she slipped back into the same mindset to start the same mannerisms (like with the filler words). I know I use different fillers depending on the language I'm speaking, too. . I don't know if someone already said this/you already know, but about the movie, it's titled just "Amélie" here in the States (and probably elsewhere outside of France), so I guess non-French people don't think about the original title & just think that it's the same name everywhere. Most likely because it was too long to translate, they just shortened the name (I know of a lot of titles across media/languages that either shorten or change the name completely).

Random Korean passing by. I saw that video of Gabie speaking in French and Spanish for a whole day. She was born in Argentina, like me, but grew up in Spain (though her Spanish accent is kinda strange, because it is quite hard to pinpoint where she is from, due its non-regional qualities). I believe she lived sometimes in the US too (or she prob went to international school), because she speaks a very North American English. She did her formal education in France, where she attended culinary school, so she expressed that she has more ease speaking French than Spanish, since it is more recent and refreshed in her mind. She currently lives in England, so she probably speaks a lot of English. As a Korean Latina living in the US, I can tell you that her Korean, Spanish, and English are fluent, though her Spanish, as mentioned, sounds neither like European Spanish or Argentine Spanish. I want to learn French sometime in the future, but currently I am prioritizing Italian and Portuguese, because as a Spanish speaker, those two Romance languages seem much easier to understand even without prior education. Italian is very easy to pronounce and understand orally (well I am from Argentina, so we speak Spanish with an Italian accent), while Portuguese is very easy to read, without ever having studied it, and even understand orally if it is not the European Portuguese varient (that shit sounds like Russian). I find French very hard in almost all aspects compared to these two Romance languages. The pronunciation is very different (the gutteral R is very hard for me, and silent endings throw me off completely). Worse, some words are not so obvious too. I think it is because French underwent a much more drastic reduction in vowel and consonant both in terms of spelling and pronunciation when it evolved from Latin unlike Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. I saw this language comparison video of an Italian, a Mexican, and a Brazilian trying to understand this French dude, and let me tell you, I would've been quite lost had it not been for the subtitles or my knowledge of some Italian and basic French. In fact, I found Latin, Catalan, and Trentino much easier to understand. French is probably up there with Romanian as the hardest Romance language for me to learn. But I still want to make an effort to learn French like a native speaker. Not sure if it would be possible, as after a certain age, your brain becomes less perceptive of oral nuances and muscle movements in the tongue, but it would be cool to pass off as a native in France. I heard French people love it when a foreigner speaks their language, especially fluently, instead of resorting to English, like as if English were the official language of France.

[@Street_French]

ah cool thanks for sharing all that! ah and I wouldn't worry to much about age, we work with people sometimes who are in the 60s and 70s and they're doing great :) as long as you work on it, practice having conversations, include French in you life, then it should be fine^^ our older students speak well but it's true that accent takes time. but truly it's not the most important. you can still say things the right way and have an accent^^ and true, people like when you learn their language :)

It was good for my French, but I regret that I had not studied more before I traveled to France. I really think it is good to study a language over a longe time, rather then very intensive for a short time. Thats fits me. I am not a fast learner.....

I enjoy your videos to improve my French. Thank you. I hope you don't mind me correcting your English as I teach English to French students. At 2:19 you say 'fruits' but it is always singular 'fruit'. "I am going to buy some fruit at the market." These kind of words are called singulare tantum and include words like 'sheep', 'fish', 'information', etc. :)

[@madamedent]

Allow me to clarify that it depends on the context. The plural is "fruits" when used as a count noun (indicating several kinds or certain instances). For example, "Many fruits were displayed," is grammatically correct and would indicate several kinds on display. "Several fruits in the basket were bruised" is also correct, as we're singling out individual specimens in the group. You *could* say "I am going to buy some fruits at the market," but that would almost certainly be taken to mean you were specifically going to buy several varieties of fruit (and even then, isn't something you would commonly say/hear). People do in that context simply use the singular, whether they mean one variety or several. Likewise, in the examples I previously gave, you'd be more likely to hear something like "There was a lot of fruit on display" and "Some of the fruit was bruised," as the other forms, while technically acceptable and less informal, would sound weird in casual conversation. Just remembering to prefer the singular is good for a student, though xD I just think these little nuances in language are very interesting!
