Welcome to the english language, where "You are shit" and "You ain't shit" are both insults, "You are not shit" is a reassurance, "You are not the shit" is an insult and finally "You are the shit" is a compliment.
nothing The "You ain't shit" and "you are not shit" thing being opposite is funny because the word "ain't" is slang for "am not; are not; is not." ((Ain't originally came from an't/a'n't, which was first written down in literature in William Congreve's 1695 play titles Love for Love, if my research is correct.))
What are you talking about ? We only have 23 different conjugating tenses, three verb groups with the last only consisting in irregular verbs, a different termination for each pronoun, and last but not least the past participle is accorded with the "have" auxiliary only if the direct object complement is located before the verbal base. It doesn't seem this difficult to me :D (and that's only for the conjugating part)
In France your 1st language is that one you learn after your native language (if that makes sense). Ex: My dad was born in france and spoke fluent french. He learned English then German in school. He says his first language is English and 2nd is german but an English person would say his first language was French, 2nd was English and 3rd was German.
Gguyzzz Maybe the kind they speak in New Orleans😄 The kind I hear them speak in Europe sounds smooth and romantic. Especially the women sound all hot and throaty even when they are just asking you to pass the salt🔥
@@bonkyz1430 You don't like your own language, you don't like its grammar, you don't like Paris, and you don't like tourists...hmm... I get it! there's something wrong with everything around you, right..?
It's ok my first language is english but I'm not good at it lol i was born and raised in America for 3 years than i moved to Berlin so I'm not that good
It's a very bad translation. First language means it's the first language he started learning in school, when he was 11. Second language start three years later and is usually spanish or german.
@@thecoconutman410 I know that, I just meant that this person was probably was surprised that it was in a list of English word cause he thought it was a French word
Oui mais avec prononciation c’est chaud de comprendre le mot nous on l’a écrit devant nos yeux donc c’est plus facile de capter le mot (oui je suis en retard de 9 mois y’a quoi) 😂
I've ONLY spoken English my whole life and I make it sound like "roo-ool" 😳 If I focus on the R, I'm like "roo-rool" so I just call it 'out in the country'. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
For French people it means first foreign language. We usually learn French, then 1st foreign language and 2nd foreign language. For example, in my case I have learnt French then English and Spanish. But languages like German and Italian are also very popular.
my fave story from tumblr is the one where this girl was in a school assembly and the principal asked "what's the hardest word to say" and the girl yelled "antidisestablishmentarianism" and the principal was like "no....the hardest word to say is sorry" and that's when she lost all faith in the american education system
I live in Ecuador and there was an exchange student here and this teacher who didn’t knew English very well during an exam told him“ fuck yous Lucas fuck yous!!! “
Afrikaans is so weird. Like we get simple words like "kat" and then sometimes we get *Tweedehandsemotorverkoopsmannevakbondstakingsvergaderingsameroeperstoespraakskrywerspersverklaringuitreikingsmediakonferensieaankondiging*
Nancy Carolyn yes I see that people from France really struggle with english, but we in Belgium(next to France) have another way to learn a language. If the people they took were from Belgium it would be really easier for them ( I really feel bad that a lot of countries dont change the way to learn things... it really plays a big role)
You learn several languages in the French curriculum. The first is called "première langue" (first language) the second "deuxième langue" (second language) and so on. The problem seems to be on the translation because if want to say "first language" you'd say "langue maternelle" in french.
I take a French class in school and my friend's say my voice gets higher when i speak in French. I don't think it gets higher i think i just sound weird. But i like French.
As a first generation Haitian-American, the focus pronunciation is legit. My parents couldn't say "beach" (pronounced like b*tch) without me giggling. Watching struggle saying words like "thesis" was gold
My mom as well, she’s a Korean immigrant and for years she would mispronounce beach and it sounded like bitch. It was the same with sheet and shit for her, she still cannot pronounce sheet correctly
I went shocked when I saw "Antidisestablishmentarianism" I mean I'm quiet fluent in english, but that's another level! I think's an equivalent of our word "anticonstitutionnellement", it'd be funny to bring that one to the english xD
You can't laugh in Welsh, it has two vowels in it! (I'm English but can't hate the Welsh. They are basically us if we hadn't shagged Romans, Normans, Angles and Saxons!)
Ninja Reflexess noah fence but i dont need a fuckin english teacher, im australian so i spell mum with a u, and i dont have to use apostrophes if i dont want to, this is the internet x
We had this stupid word in my my high school social studies class. It became a huge joke, and it basically is a joke in itself. To pronounce it, break it up into its many pre/suf fixes anti--dis--establish--ment--arian--ism. stupid word...
@@k.i.a6433 It means the doctrine of opposing the abolition of the Church of England as the official religion of England. So it doesn't crop up in conversation much.
Bravo! Well done my distant French cousins! You were right. Those words were not fair. Congratulations to the gentleman in the beard for his great effort.
I love how they couldn't pronounce some of the shorter simpler words but when it came to antidisestablishmentarianism a lot of them actually nearly got it! #frenchiscool
arivale 12 C’est comme sa qu’on le dit en France donc c’est pour sa qu’il le disent comme sa ! J’aimerais bien vous voir dire " serrurie " ou " chirurgie " ou un mot super simple comme " mordre " ou dire la phrase " un chasseur sachant chasser sans son chien est un bon chasseur " ( use Google traduction for understand and click on the littel speaker and Say the words that I told you )
Deeps Peryagh you’re french ? Ifnot I would like to hear from you and we’ll see if you Speak as Wells as what you Say ( I’m french and my boyfriend is English so I know that you think you know how to speak french too well when in real 🤢🤯🤮😂)
Yeah I still can't say rural and I've been speaking English my whole life. Italian is my second language and I also have trouble with words that have the double r. And that letter is even harder in Italian because you have to roll them haha.
Isn't antidisestablishmentarianism a double negative? Anti- ("against") Dis- ("opposite") Those two would cancel out, no? So the whole word is literally: "Against the opposite of the idea of establishment"?
French is extremely hard!!!! I was done with this language at "la robe noir" construction. I was feeling so awkward trying to read something from "War and Peace" by Lev Tolstoy, because he's put A LOT of French sentences in his legendary book.
French doesn't pronounce all of the letters in a word so I wouldn't say it's perfect. Non French speakers have a hard time figuring out how to pronounce the words because they're not sure which ones are supposed to be silent.
Squirrel is easy. Just not girl, Kroger, shore, sure, shirt, fork (people really don’t like me saying fork), etc. Honestly any word (even word) I have trouble pronouncing but I can do squirrel.
Does English sound that fast to new learners, too? I've been studying French for about six years now but I haven't had a ton of experience with speaking it, but my god they still sound like they're going a mile a minute.
That was fun. We are leaving for Paris in 4 days and I'm so concerned about my crappy French. I was just looking up how to pronounce "béchamel sauce" when I found this video. :)
