Thank you very much for your good lessons and suggestions. I’m brazilian and I’m studying French because I love this language. Congratulations for your excelente and useful Chanel. 🇫🇷 🇧🇷❤️
That's awesome! Your language is kind of similar to French so it should be easier for you. Did you see that I have a free pronunciation course on this channel? It could help you to get started on the right foot 🙂
I hope you enjoyed the video 🙂 For those who don't know, I am an author myself. My new book "The Complete French Grammar Course" is available here amzn.to/2UYD1fd You can see all my books here: www.theperfectfrench.com/my-books
Started learning french à month ago..i found it difficult initially but your vedios encouraged me to learn the language everyday and keep me motivated... Thanks
Samuel Adjei French pronunciation is the hardest and also the most important part of what you should learn. I have a few videos on pronunciation and I also have a course. Check the course here bit.ly/3aeXks4 Or the playlist here : ru-vid.com/group/PL_bt5rj27IIUHa5i3iXC8NVOMbFd2qhTo
@diba Sorry Diba I only see your comment now :/ The videos are free to follow here on RU-vid but the books are for sale. SO it's not an issue that you are a student, just follow the videos ;)
Productive video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
Thanks very much. I come from Vietnam. I can speak English. But I want to learn French now. Thank you for recommending some of the best books. I will subscribe to your channel
Wonderful and informative video! I am a COMPLETE beginner with absolute 0 prior knowledge in French. Between “Complete French All-in-One” and “Easy French Step-by-step”, which one would you recommend?
I would go with Complete French All-in-One :) But if you want to start form the very beginning, learn pronunciation first, it will help you a lot! I have a full playlist called "French pronunciation course", 56 lessons, you will learn everything you need 🙂
merci beaucoup!! a lot of french videos that talk about this topic are a bit redundant or just reccomend books that are completely hostile towards absolute beginners like me, with your video i am no longer lost on what to do
I am enjoying all of your books and videos. The self study guide is helping me to stay focuses. Would you please add a video on how to use the planning calendar? I do not understand what to do with it and the days that have video links. Merci beacoup!
hey, so good to hear someone speaking french from Canada! new subscriber here!! Just wanted to ask you about the third book you mentioned "French Short stories for beginners", since it looks like the method Assimil, I'd like to ask you about it, did you try it? My biggest concern now is no only learn the language as fast as possible (I'm also attending a language school here in Spain) but to speak it as natural as possible... 2020 goal B2 level :)
Bonjour du Canada et bienvenue 🙂 Are you asking about the book or about the method Assimil? Sorry I am a bit confused. What language are you learning in Spain?
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane hey! Thanks for asking, I'm learning French and just found out the method assimil and just wanted to know If you have tried it that method, it's just that sounds similar the stories of the book you mentioned with the ones used in assimil
ok good that's what I understood but I wasn't sure 😅 Assimil is a good method, however I have never tried it personally since I taught myself English 4 years ago. That being said, I believe that any method is a good method as long as you are consistent. Consistency is key. The second most important part of learning a new language (and especially French) is to be able to move on when you don't understand something or can't pronounce something. Assimil has some very affordable books so why not give it a try? My last advices if you want to speak French fluently, be curious, explore every subject, read about everything, watch documentaries about everything. And don't forget that learning a new language is a very long adventure but 100% worth it! (Sorry for the long reply I can be quite passionate about learning 😉)
ok dylan. i like that instead of saying, french class with dylan, you say, french class with me, im dylan, because this way you speak for you in third person, which is for:)) psuchiatric lookover:)) im sorry but i had to write you this, anyway im learning every day with you dylan, merci.
im sorry, i did not explainned my self well. when i speak for my self i use to speak in first person, not in third person. i hope this makes sense. i used to make the same mistake. you could say just: french lessons with me, dylan.
In 2021 I decided to learn french . Ahh finally I'm going to learn such a difficult language 🥺.. But I can learn because God always helps us all 😇❤💞 Can you tell me that which one book I should read first? I'm the very very kind of beginner and I don't know anything about french. I just learn ABC of French 😅. Please reply??
Najvot I reply to all my comments 😉 First, you should learn the pronunciation. Spoken French and written French are very different. I made a free course that you can watch. It will give you a great foundation before starting grammar and conjugation. Go on my channel page, it's under a playlist called French Pronunciation Course 😉
J'adore les BDs de TinTin. Je viens de lire Le secret de la licorne et maintenant je lis Le tresor de Rackham le rouge. The French Short Stories book looks interesting as I am currently reading a different collection of French short stories and I am finding that it is helping me a lot.
Steve si tu veux des recommendations de BDs classiques de Belgique, je peux te faire une petite liste si tu veux. Je suis fan de BDs, avant de déménager au Canada, j'en avais plusieurs centaines
I am an intermediate in Chinese and pretty much all the books are so organised. In one lesson You have around 30 words, 1-4 grammars, a text and some questions. I decided to study French recently and all the books are disorganised, it seems I have to buy 5 different books for different things
Oh I agree. I am studying Korean with University textbooks and they're pretty organized and high quality. But I have two use 4 different books for French 🙈
One of my French friends here in Montreal suggested few days ago that start with French with English translation books. I'm not sure how much it will be useful
Thanks for sharing Pls i have a problem with understanding and making sentences..... I can read and pronounce very well but I can’t understand the words nor make simple sentences Which of these books should I start with
i guess 15 minutes a day learning foreign languages is known fact. im taking 5 language/private instructor course. well, 5 if i can find a private tutor and learning platform to help progress. thanks for book recommendations
5 different languages at the same time? Which languages are you learning? Let me know how you progress that would be really interesting to see what are you biggest challenges with such diversities. And of course let me know If I can help 😉
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane i have one on one with russian native. too, for spanish and chinese. i have taken reduced focus in learning korean and looking for one on one, but so far no one at the moment. learning french is my 5th and will increase focus. its challenging, but im spacing out periods of time throughout day to make room. ;0
I went French 4 in high school and then 2 years in college. I never became fluent as I never was around French speakers enough. My son is having the same problem. What can I tell him to help him get over the hump, so to speak? Merci.
If you don't have access to a French speaker to practice, doing everything in French helps. Watch movies in French, change your phone in French, etc. It takes time but he will get there :)
Bonjour! I want to clear my A1 A2 level . Should i buy the second book "Complete All-in-one french"? Please suggest me how can i learn French fast and in easy way? Please help me!
It's a great book for sure. But don't forget to learn pronunciation and how to read first. The books will give you a good understanding of grammar and vocabulary but pronunciation is key.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thanku mam for replying. Could you please suggest me book or another material for French learning to clear my levels. I'll be glad to have your suggestion.😊
I have never seen them and my students never used them but from what I have seen online they look great. I would go for it if you already know the base of the language.
If one is familiar with speaking Spanish, will they have an easier time learning French? They're both romance languages and have Latin roots, so I'm just assuming, idk. Would be great to know from you, thanks!
I think it will be easier, I don't speak Spanish (yet) tho so it's hard to tell but a lot of people comment how close some words and rules are to Spanish 🙂
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Yay! This is great news; I speak Spanish, although I'm not completely fluent because English is my first language. But this really puts me in a better mood and it gives me the motivation I need to start learning French and to brush up on my Spanish. Thank you!
my first language is portuguese (which is a romance language as well) and the answer is yes It's easier to understand when you speak a close related language
You can have an advanced "book level". Your final level of French will depend more on how you practice other areas of the language, listening practice, pronunciation, reading, conversation, etc. A book is great, but it's only a book 😉
I am having lessons but not all teachers are the same. I find myself learning and advancing inconsistently due to the changing of teacher at each level or term. I was hoping I could use the book to make my grammar or sentences forming more "firm" before I continue with the lessons. Just wondering if the book is good for me to learn up to B1 or B2 level stuffs so I can stop lessons for awhile but still catch up on my french level.
Hi! I'm from India, and I want to start learning French. I have no experience with French, I am not familiar with it at all. Do you think the second book you recommended -Complete French All in One- is the best choice to start with in my case? Plus, it is available in my country more easily compared to the other ones. Also the first book you recommended -Bescherelle (sorry if I got the spelling wrong)- does it have instructions and guidelines in English?
Hi and welcome to my channel 🙂 I think the complete French all in one is a great book, but it's still a very formal book. Very good book of course but I prefer to mention that it's very formal. Do you think it would suit your way of learning? For Bescherelle (you got it right 😉), like I said it's a book that have all the conjugation for all the verbs, it's a good book to have for the whole time you will learn English. But to start, instead of the Bescherelle, go on my website and download my free Ebook "500 most common French verbs". You will have all the conjugation you need to understand and speak French, as well as some exercices at the end. If you see that you are going to keep going with French, then buy the Bescherelle later. I hope it helps, let me know if you have more questions 🙂
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane The perfect French with Dylane Thank you for replying! I'm okay with formal learning I believe I will be able to learn well with that book. Moreover, I would definitely check out your website! Thank you so much for helping me out, it is very rare to have helpful RU-vidrs:) I will definitely ask more questions in the future as I start learning French, hope that will be okay 😂 Also, I almost forgot to ask, do you give online classes?
Sorry for the late answer, I missed the notification somehow 🤷🏼♀️ I don't do online classes but I am working on a course, hopefully it will be ready soon. Let me know if I can help you with anything else 🙂
That's why I started this RU-vid channel ;) You should start learning French by learning the pronunciation first. Check out my playlist "French pronunciation course" :)
It all depends on your ability to learn, how many hours you study a day etc. There is no time frame that works for anyone. But if you are motivated you can get there quick 🙂
