      Romans 5:8
      8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
      2 Corinthians 5:21
      21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
      Romans 6:23
      23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
      Acts 2:38-39
      Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
      John 3:16
      16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
      John 14:6
      6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
      Romans 8:38-39
      38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
      Hebrews 4:12 KJV
      "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
      Hebrews 13:16
      "And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." ... These are the sacrifices that please God."

    im trying to teach myself because i dont like the way we are taught it in school, this is just my preference but before the teachers start throwing random words at me i need to know the grammar, tenses, even just basic rules of the language or filler words like to, the, at, i etc to be able to form a coherent sentence. thats all, thanks for coming to my ted talk

    I'm a Canadian and was taught basic French in grades 1-10. At the time, I had 0 interest and need. As I get older (I'm 29) and French being our 2nd official language, I feel like I should learn to become fluent. I want to take what little words I know and learn the grammar, tenses, structure, etc. that I always struggled with! Your such a huge inspiration and motivator for me. Subscribed! Thank you so much!🤘

    I love your ideas 💡 and resources. If possible can you do videos on basic words you learned from Duolingo. Just how you pronounce them. That’s what I’m doing now. I just started Duolingo learning French but I’m having trouble with the pronouncing a little.

I've used music a bit must do more. Wish I was an au pair..I've learned the most Fr at the pool listening to les gosses...Thanks so much

      @CecilysPerspective  Před 4 lety +2

      You got this! Don't give up! If you stay consistent with it nothing can stop you. You begin to see the process slowly but surely. Maybe try making a video language diary. You record yourself every other week speaking about a new topic in your target language. It's so cringey to look back on but don't be afraid of making mistakes ecspecially when you're learning a new language. Goodluck and let me know how it goes :)
