me, a russian: okay, I've learned all the irregular verbs in english, thank god it's over highly irregular french verbs: allow us to introduce ourselves
Alexa I was so lost with so many different teachers and videos, trying to learn french, before I found you. You make things unbelievable easy and clear also watching and listening to you is a pleasure. Thank you so much you've totally got my support!
There are several things for how to learn French Decide exactly why you want to learn French Try to use French everyday Decide what method works for you best. (I read about these and more on Mirykal French Plan website )
No one EVER explained french verbs to me this way! As an English speaker I had no idea we very much have regular and irregular verbs too and that comparison just makes so much more sense now. Thank you soooo much for this!
In learning another language, most teachers talk about grammar in our native language in a way that takes it for granted (because we do so all the time). Thank you for taking the time to go over the connection across the languages through the opening grammar lesson. It's super helpful.
Currently trying to learn French due to me needing 1 language credit for college and my WORD- this single video is so much more helpful than *ANYTHING* I've been taught in my college class! I really like that you're introducing the concept with english, THEN moving into French. It makes it SOOOO much easier to follow. I know this video is like, several years old or what-not and this likely won't be seen, but I have to give thanks where it is due.
That's interesting, when I learnt French I was taught of the three groups as ER, RE and IR, and irregulars were some sort of fourth group though not defined as such, they were just there. I always regarded IR as the third group because of this until recently when I began to agree that IR should be the second, though I would still class regular RE verbs as a third by themselves, and simply accept that you find irregulars in all three.
I always spent my time french with alexa for lerning french . she is just awesome i can't explain her expression and everything. May Allah bless you alexa.
I am a refugee somewhere in Indonesia I was completely losing hope to learn anything but from the time I have found dear Alexa I think I can learn french something new something better for my future I don't know how to thank you bcz there is no word for it Thank a lot and a lot
oh my goodness, your lessons are the best. I enrolled my son in a private French lesson, and I'm trying to learn the language my self and I found you to be an excellent teacher. please continue to provide these videos.
1. Regular verbs (-er) & (-ir) *(-ir) have (-issant) suffix in present participle form 2. Irregular verbs (-re), (oir), & some (-er) + (-ir) like aller, dormir and venir *stem of irregular verbs will change drastically when conjugating even though suffixes for imparfait/futur/conditionnel stay the same
Alexa!!! I UNDERSTAND THIS SO WELL! I am already in 2nd month in class and I didnt get it all! And just memorise without understanding why and as we go deeper during class I get more stressed in class! And you helped me understand this!! I called in sick to miss class today to catch up by myself and learnt this from you - BEST DECISION! Thank you for doing what you do!
Fantastic!!! I have spent the morning re-playing it over & over & finally I am getting my Head around the Verbs! Your lesson is fab!! Merci Vous :) Nina - Désertines, France.
There are patterns with irregular verbs though. For example, 'rire', 'lire' and 'dire' all have the same conjugation pattern. The 'prendre' 'apprendre', 'surprendre'verbs do as well. 'Vouloir' and 'pouvoir' follow the same type of pattern. I tried to link and teach those together when I taught high school french to make them easier to remember when conjugating
I have french as credit subject in my clg and the teacher despite being good at explaining the topics was unable to explain verbes very well and this video saved me, i understood so much from this video. Thanks a lot ma'am for teaching so well.
I'm currently taking French class and the instructor has most of your videos sent to the class for reviews. I've got to say your videos have been very very helpful in learning the French Language. I would say thank you ma'am but since I am practicing my French, lemme say Merci beaucoup Mademoiselle.
As a teacher in school I have found you very good in your explanation, the way you talk and the way you teach. My students love your videos they always want to watch you because they say your videos make it easier to learn French. Thank you M.S Alexa.
I tried many different french apps to study French but your app is the best. I don't get tired of it. always fun to watch and learn. Merci beaucou Alexa.
I think that to read is important. You're going to get exposed to irregular verbs in different tenses. My mothertongue is Spanish and I learned English by reading; I'm doing the same with French now, to read a lot and, of course, to watch Alexa's videos!
Hi Alexa, you are a excellent teacher, you make this French class alive because you enjoy what you do. I can see you expression on your face. God bless you Alexa. Thank you for your good work.
By far the best teacher. i can speak & read French but now i'm actually trying to learn it so as to understand it better and better my dictation. Merci, merci ♥
Dear Alexa, I am a regular follower of your lessons. Very comprehensive standards you maintain. Merci beaucoup. Sincerely yours, Ireneus from Colombo,Ceylon.
Bonjour Alexa, I must confess that I am learning more of the English grammar principles in your lessons than I did in my school classes. Must be how you are able to relate in such a way for better understanding. I love and appreciate your teaching methods, Bravo!!!!
French verbs made so easy to understand .. the explanations are so clear and interesting . Honestly ever since I started watching these videos my interest in French was resurrected .
Alex I love watching you teaching French, you like what you are doing. You are very clear also in teaching, Keep the good work you have a great personality.
I'm Algerian and I supposed to be good in French but because I have not spoken it for more than 17 years so that made me forget alot and some foreigners from Asia asked me to teach them French so by the help of your videos I could get back many of my old informations million thank to you bisou bisou 😘😘
Superb! Present participle in french is a bit tricky, but you explained it here the 3 verb groups,alors et je commence a comprendre "un peau" . Merci beaucoup Alexa :)
Omg thank you!! My French teacher is so confusing but I understand because I’m doing virtual and I know it’s a bit hard to learn virtual but THANK YOUUU
Bless your soul... u made me (someone who can't understand French for the life of me) get some understanding... especially when it came to the "ing/issant" endings
Hi Alexa , your classes are too good. I admire you very much. My question is this ........ As you said that the verbs in English which has ed at the end are regulars and the remainings are irregular. Then what about to speak (PARLER) , it doesn't have ed at the end in past tense but still its a regular verb. Kindly make it clear plz. Eagerly waiting for your reply...... Merci Bonjourné
Really great and helpful. Thank you so much. Only one thing is that the present participle of "finish" is finished, not finishing, as that would be the gerund. Thanks!
Alexa - thank yo for this overview, it help me bring clarity to everything. I am also happy to see that you have many more videos...will certainly be using them in a progression as I learn French.
I already knew a fair amount of French before watching 100+ of her videos, but she definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone into a higher level. The other RU-vid teachers are too fast for me, so it dawned on me that maybe the teacher has to be good at teaching as well.
When I was in high school (lycee) they taught us three regular verb groups (er, ir, re) and fourth group were irregular; the "re" verbes were like vendre, perdre, attendre, repondre, etc...they are all conjugated the same in the present tense and have their past participle end in "u" (e.g. vendu, perdu, attendu, etc...) I guess there's different ways to teach this; thanks for great videos !
Yes! Awesome! More lessons like this please! It is much easier for me to understand what i'm learning in french when it's compared to english and the technical words are explained. every time I try to learn something somewhere, I see "the past participle" "the continuous" "the infinitive" so many things i don't understand. If only i focused more in English class! haha.
Je pense que certains des verbes "re" peuvent être réguliers comme ces verbes: attendre J'attends Tu attends Il/Elle/On attend Nous attendons Vous attendez Ils/Elles attendent étendre J'étends Tu étends Il/Elle/On étend Nous étendons Vous étendez Ils/Elles étendent But they make up only a small proportion of re verbs!! Most of them are irregular as you said in you video. Merci Alexa pour ces vidéos excellentes !! 🌹🙏
