French is a very curious language that sits in the fence of anglo and romance. I speak both english and spanish and french words sound either very similar to english or very similar to spanish.
It’s because the Normans conquered the country 9 and a half centuries ago. The government and the nobility spoke French over the next three centuries. The peasants, much of the bourgeoisie, and lesser clergy remained native English speakers, about three quarters of the pot

The lessons with Alexa is really inspiring. Most difficult part in learning of new language is to find motivation to work without teacher, to stay disciplined and stay focused, with Alexa everything is simple! Good job!
A lot of these aren't too bad. I think some of them are easier than others as they are fairly similar to English and Spanish. But yes, like someone said, conjugating them is a whole, different story...
I like to use mnemonics and word association tricks to memorise words. E.g. 'donner' souns like 'donner kebab' - so think 'GIVE me a donner kebab'. And there you have it, an easily-memorised verb that you'll be able to actively recall. A couple more examples: ficher (to file) - think of a file being placed in a fish tank; Pedre (to lose/waste) - think of a pardre losing his wallet.
My daughter now is studying pharmacy at University of Health Sciences in foundation year in Cambodia . She's facing the problem of French language because she didn't learn it before. Thank you very much for your teaching.
this.......is...ONE OF THE BEST FRENCH LESSONS EVER.......I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG 😑 WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THE VIDEO(DONT CARE ABOUT THEM!THEY ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT MIND)
Wonderful and amazing Alexa , your sweet prounociation and Smart teaching techniques you are using is facilities me as a French beginner . Really appreciate , merci
Alexa, you are a very good teacher, perhaps the best. I am trying to learn French and I always remember you. Thank you so much for doing all of this for us!!!
A Really useful way to learn the beautiful language of France. I think like most people i know a good few of them, but it's a really good/nice way to get to know the rest. I leave you on in the background and go about my day, i'm a very slow learner so repetition is the key. Like most most people here, i am eternally grateful for the effort thought you put into your lessons. So a very big THANK YOU from an Englishman living in France. Good Luck and Keep e'm coming. Bisous.
Thanks God you're not my teacher in real life, I couldn't resist to tell you how much I love your lessons and how nice you are. Many greetings from Vienna ;-)
You have such a great channel. I'm happy that you've made this. I admire your persistence. You are very helpful. I try to translate: Vous avez une bonne chaîne. Je suis heureux que vous ayez fait ce. J'admire votre persévérance. Vous m'aidez beaucoup.
i was writing down the verbs and i immediately jumped at the end. i was so immersed. LOL btw thank you so much, i revised all the verbs that i'd learned at my French classes.
I'm doing B1 tomorrow and im nervous, thank you so much for this video i think it will help immensly especially in production ecrite and comprehension ecrite too
thank you very much for your wonderful service .its really help me load in the present time i could express myself to others.i know my knowledge not sufficient specially i need more vocabulary .will you upload next 100 or more useful verbs please ...
Wow! I covered the English words and rushed ahead of Alexa to see if I remembered the verbs. I realized that I knew over 90 of them. Very encouraging for me. Moi, je vais recommencer d'apprendre la langue. Je vais aussi essayer le delf b2. Que Dieu m'aides
Great... Very interesting to know the pronunciation of each verb... Will be an advantage to all who aim to get a hold on the speech.. You have given your best.. Best Wishes for the future videos too...
OMG you are helping me a lot, i'm native in portuguese but i'm learning now french and its a bit difficult for me when pronouncing the "r" and this video helped me a lot bc most of those verbs i didn't knew. Thanks!
An year ago, i knew only four or five and i stopped watching video in between and i said i can't impossible for me.. but after a month i started taking classes two days a week. today i was searching where to use "c'est et il est" and ended up at this video.. when i started this video my heart started racing fast because i was worried. i am happy with my progress because the guy who stopped video in-between, today he know 80/100.
Since I've begun learning French with you in April, I've been highly anticipating _this_ video! Merci beaucoup pour toute l'aide et le conseil Alexa! Bisou bisou! xx
Alexa thank you! I am learning a lot thanks to you! Can you tell me please what is the meaning of what you say at the end of the videos: Bijou....bijou.... ( I probably misspelled it....thank you
Merci. c'était utile. Je connaissais déjà beaucoup de ces verbes, mais j'apprends quand même de nouveaux verbes et c'était aussi une bonne critique pour moi-même.
