    I started learning french when I was 8 but I’ve just been taught the basics since then and I really wanna become fluent because the language is so beautiful. This video is very helpful thank you

    I started learning French just this past semester at my college. I had some extra space in my schedule, so why not? BEST DECISION EVER!! I love learning about the culture, and am so excited for when I can speak more confidently and it becomes more natural

      ahh that’s awesome !! It’s always cool when you get to a point in language learning where it gives you a real exclusive “members only” access/insight into a whole another culture ☺️

    You said, You put so much effort on learning French. You went to American expensive university and did 1 year French course. You live in France and your boyfriend is French. Everyday you're dealing with French. I believe that You could be a best French teacher for us. I mean You can teach us French through your CZcams channel. As your English is super good i believe it will help so many international students as well as french learners. Your efforts on learning French will be worth it. Because oneday You will be in the list of R.I.P. But your helpful french learning videos will keep you alive forever.
    I know, You're busy as you're an app developer and you have also your personal life but A warm request to you "Kindly teach us french as much as you know".

    What is your story for why YOU started learning French ?

    • @Erdux.
      @Erdux. Před 3 lety +8

      One day, I was just born, and I met these 2 wonderful people, turns out they were my parents. Anyways, long story short, I was in France, they were French too, and I had to learn a whole ass new language even tho I was not even 1 years old! Crazy times, way simpler back then I'd say but I'm kinda glad it's over

    Hi girl I'm very thanksful for your video, brought me back to live thus I've been thinking a lot in learn French but I didn't know how to start and my head was a mess because I think probably for me the hardest part is the pronuntation but your story inspired me so I feel empower I really hope achieve my target without doubting of myself cause your inspiration.

      also, i started learning french in the 4th grade as it was compulsory so obviously i hated every single moment of it but once i got the 8th grade and realised that with the DELF/DALF exams i can go exchange and actually live and school in France i took it seriously and now im in 12th grade finishing in 2 months then next year i might be first uni in Toulouse or Paris

    By the way where you able to work on your first year of master study in France?
    I really enjoy your videos.

    Loved this video! I’m Canadian so we started learning French in school (it was very academic though so I can’t really speak much). You mentioned you wished you had done a French masters program, and I think we are around a similar level of French. Do you have any recommendations of what level you should be at when starting a masters in French in france? I think I’m c1….but my speaking is holding me back :(

    • @IdentitySelection
      @IdentitySelection  Před 2 lety +1

      I think C1 you can definitely follow classes although it would take extra effort and stress to keep up with the work ! Speaking shouldn't hold you back in school, just socially 😔

    Hi dear.
    Your videos are lovely.

    How did you cope with the language barrier when you first arrived. Since you didn't speak any french.

  • @alexandrelarsac9115
    @alexandrelarsac9115 Před 2 lety +2

    Funny how good your pronunciation is.
    Better than a native english speaker !
    you should definitively start to speak only french with your boyfriend if you want tp make more progress.

    • @IdentitySelection
      @IdentitySelection  Před 2 lety +2

      I agree with the last part ! But we already have our dynamic established in English so it's weird to speak french with him 😂 but we try sometimes !

    In a past video you’ve said you could’ve applied for the second year of master (M2), but instead you started from the beginning. Is there a reason for that? I’m kinda in the same situation you were, I’m from Argentina and want to do my masters in France :)
