How French 🇫🇷 Is Actually Spoken | (informal, slang, expressions etc.)

[@margotminou_]

Merci pour le video Eve! Une autre truc que j’ai tojours mal à comprendre c’est la utilisation de "du coup". XX 🇧🇷

I really like the videos you post reminding learners around the world that they don't have to struggle with languages regardless of their level and they should always enjoy the journey. I find myself having to teach children the basics and all students so they may get the gist of how the language works. "Je ne sais pas vs chais pas. Nous allons parler français aujourd'hui vs On va parler français aujourd'hui." When they're comfortable enough they can then be taught the slang words. That's just my strategy.

[@adolfusadolfe99]

I think you misunderstood the topic. Teaching languages is not about teaching colloquial vs slang, is formal vs real life language.

[@salam7674]

Thanks for the video.

[@rami-sep]

Thank you... French per se is difficult lol.. so imagine when it's shortened 😭💔

[@rami-sep]

Btw you forgot to mention: Qui d'neuf? Which means: what's up

[@itsimplyeve]

@@rami-sep Yes, it's "Quoi de neuf": I mentioned that one in another slang video I did a couple of years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZK2ZWiroc9ljJY

[@JonathanOlelo]

As you said, the French like to shorten words and expressions, and no one tells you that when you learn French. In 100 years, French will be a 1-syllable-per-word language 😂

Thats wat happen to chinese currently. One character one syllable

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been learning for several years, but truc de ouf always confused me. I always thought of “fou” as crazy and never understood “ouf”.

[@itsimplyeve]

Yes, it's quite confusing 😅 They use slang called 'verlan' which are words spelled and said backwards like 'fou' becomes 'ouf'. And you will hear more people say 'ouf' than 'fou'.

[@1Cent83]

If one were to abbreviate je ne sais pas to ché pas, wouldn’t it also sound like j’ai pas?

[@zlr5775]

To differentiate, you emphasise the ‘sh’ to avoid confusion with the ‘zh’ sound

[@1Cent83]

@@zlr5775 oh i see thanks for the clarification

I’m American by birthright, but my background is French. I speak a little bit of French but I’m not fluent in it. I feel so ashamed because of that.

[@itsimplyeve]

I know what you mean. I also have a different background and I’m not fluent in that language but you can always learn it. I’ve seen many people successfully learn their parent’s native language much later by themselves.
