When a Dutch person says, "I am not good at learning languages," I can’t help but think, "Please, don't lie. Your language has some of the most difficult sounds in the world. If you can speak Dutch, you can learn any language." Every Dutch person I know is at least bilingual. By the way, I live in the Netherlands.
Lmao
Currently learning Dutch and refreshing my French. Dutch is no joke even though it is similar to English. I love learning it though.
Texting yourself in French is actually a great idea. And it's really not so strange... I live in the US where *nobody* speaks French, and have to speak out loud to myself, so why not text too! Great tips Iris, thank you.
this is so helpful! i have a similar experience, i learned french in highschool but forgot most of it and i want to relearn and improve it! i also have an interest in learning dutch which led me to your videos haha. thank you for these great tips!⭐
thank you!!!
Just started my French-learning journey last week. Amazing musical artist I discovered: Zaho de Sagazan. Her lyrics (and music) are absolutely incredible.
All great tips! I did A2.2 with Lingoda and it really helped me kickstart my French studies and get over my fear of speaking. Right now my listening needs the most work, so I’m focusing on self-study listening, but I’m going to go back to B1 Lingoda later in the summer. My goal is to get to B2 by the end of the year. For beginners and early intermediate, I actually found Pimsleur to be super helpful. The lessons can be tedious, but the repetition really works. I wouldn’t solely rely on it though as it’s mostly focused on speaking.
Great tips! I’m from Brazil, so my native language is Portuguese. I watched your vlogs because your voice helps me practice my listening skills. I also study French, so the video was two in one for me. Ah, j’adore votre esthétique! ☺️✨
Excellent...merci mille fois madame !
Thank you very much ❤ it was very useful!
great tips, thank youuuuu for the video
Merci, Iris 💖
so happy I found your vlogs
thank uuu it means the world 🥹💗
love your videos esp the paris edition, I used to live there! and I also LOVED plan coeur, dix pour cent and lupin, they definitely helped my french :)
thank uuu🥺💗
Salut!
Merci pour votre vidéo !
Tout d'abord, j'ai aimé votre histoire sur la façon dont vous avez appris le français dans votre vie. Merci pour ces très bons conseils, je ne pourrais pas être plus d'accord ! Ensuite, j'ai commencé à étudier le français il y a cinq ans, en tant qu'adulte, et maintenant j'étudie le français à l'université de Turku, en Finlande. De plus, ma vie a changé parce que j'ai commencé à étudier le français. Je suis tombé amoureux de la langue française.
Aussi, je pense que l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue ouvre de nombreuses portes et offre des opportunités uniques. Ainsi, apprendre le français m'a permis de découvrir une nouvelle culture et de nouvelles perspectives. Lorsque j'ai commencé, je ne savais pas à quel point cela transformerait ma vie. Or, maintenant, je ne peux imaginer ma vie sans le français. Je suis également d'accord avec vous sur le fait que la lecture, l'écoute, l'écriture, la parole et la grammaire sont des éléments essentiels du processus d'apprentissage. Vous avez fait un excellent travail en parlant de ces aspects dans votre vidéo.
Au fait, en ce moment, je lis les livres de Harry Potter en finnois, en anglais et en français. :D
Enfin, l'apprentissage des langues est une aventure enrichissante et transformative. Non seulement cela vous permet de communiquer avec une plus grande variété de personnes, mais cela enrichit aussi votre compréhension du monde et de vous-même. Ne sous-estimez jamais le pouvoir de l'apprentissage des langues : c'est une porte ouverte vers des expériences, des amitiés et des opportunités infinies.
Bonne journée !
The texting yourself en français is geniussssssss ♥ definitely taking that tip ♥
Vous vlog est incroyable. j'adore vous idee et les information est tres utile.
(inspired me to start using more French words).
I also find vlogs to be a useful learning tool. especially on French channel vlogs, and comment sections, which CZcams gives an alternative for translation. It's a really quick way to absorb conversational French pour practice, and then the app make you align with the vocabulary and grammar. Thanks for your video. it was really insightful and amazing. So much love from Nairobi, Kenya
Great tips! 💕I would also recommend the Duolingo French Podcast, the stories are really interesting and some parts are in English to give context :)
Super! Thank you.
💗💗
Hello Iris! Thanks for posting this video, as a French speaker who recently moved to the Netherlands I really appreciated it because I can use those advices to learn Dutch myself. Would you have some recommendations of Dutch books, music or podcasts you really like by any chance? Thank you and I really appreciate your videos! 😊
This video is so helpful Iris, so inspiring also! Im learning Dutch but i live in my home country and i know it will become better once i move and start practicing it every day 🥰 Do you have some recs for Dutch podcasts and music?
I'm so glad you found it helpful!! I don't listen to a lot of podcasts in Dutch actually... there is one that I sometimes listen to it's called "with the gurnels". They are a group of Dutch influencers and they just chat about the most random stuff lol 💗
i'll consider this a sign to restart my french studies
yess this is your sign!!💗
Merci! I'm really trying to learn French as it's the native language of my grandparents, but the process is slow. Appreciate the tips. PS your hair is fab!
aww thank you!! slow process is still process!! it just takes time 💗
Thank youuu ❤❤
omg no thank you!!!
love love love
Wow! Tu parles vraiment bien le français.🤩Je te félicite. Bravo!!! 👏👏👏
merciiii 🥹
Goeie tips!! :) Ik ben nu ook mijn Frans aan het bijspijkeren met de eerste drie delen van "Arypotteure"... Valt toch nog vies tegen, ondanks dat het een kinderboek is... 😅
Had nooit een HP film gezien of HP boek gelezen in 't Nederlands, dus misschien had ik dat beter eerst kunnen doen.
"Les combattantes" vond ik ook wel leuk om te kijken op Netflix trouwens, zeker een aanrader...
I been watching shows in Dutch and French. I would have it first play in my target language with subtitles then rewatch the episode in English or with English subtitles. Currently watching Emily in Paris. Finished watching the Dutch show Dirty Lines.
I like how you spoke French at the beginning of the video. Quesiton, As a Dutch speaking person, what did you find the most difficult part of learning French? What do you struggle with?
slayyy!! 👏👏
hihi love u!!
Hi Iris, Just came across your channel for the first time. I assumed you were American because your English is so fluent with no accent at all, so I was surprised to learn that you are Dutch, but apparently living in Paris now? Although I was introduced to both French and Spanish in junior high school, I eventually focussed on Spanish and forgot the French I learned. Later, I studied French with French in Action, which was given to me by a friend of French descent, before one of my trips to Paris. I am not familiar with Lingoda but it sounds like it worked for you, but you had a strong foundation in French already, so that obviously facilitates your mastery. I love Paris and the French language, although I am American and currently live in the States. Somewhere I read that you were alone in Paris mastering French and I wondered how such an attractive and intelligent women could be alone in Paris? I am interested in spending time in Paris studying and mastering French. Maybe you could help me and I could find some way to reciprocate in some other way, although I am not sure how because I don't know you. My family tree is complicated but goes back to Danish royalty and also to the Netherlands. I had no idea that Dutch women are so attractive because the news from Netherlands always focuses on other things. Personally, I loved the Van Gogh Museum, but I would rather study French in Paris with you. Please let me know. Best regards, Dan
Parlez français? Oui!
Great tips.Also I feel like, since you speak English at a native level, you already had the skills down to be able to learn another language "couramment". Quite funny that you Northern Europeans never talk about the struggles of learning English, it seems to be very natural for you.
Sounds difficult 😂. So I still use Immersive Translate to help me translate French directly 😅
I’m currently in paris and i really need/ want to learn better to speak but my biggest problem is that I don’t understand the people… like the french people, i can’t follow them and what they are saying and i’m so curious if it’s a problem I have or is it common? I would and love to speak more but after they start speaking i lose it.
It’s not just you - I actually speak better than I can understand sometimes. Ultimately it just takes time and a lot of listening. Podcasts, CZcams, dubbed Netflix, I listen to it all. Sometimes I listen intensely, sometimes I just have it on in the background. It honestly just takes a lot of time so don’t give up! Bon chance!
❤❤❤❤
Damn your english sounds American! Ur good!!!!
Kannst du Deutsch sprechen?
this is nothing new, everyone learns this way and yet there’s always room for growth. It’s not as easy learning a new language as you say it is.
so where you are actually speaking french? we heard 5 second of recorded beforhandly video
I think you mean, pre-recorded by recorded beforhandly video? It wasn’t pre-recorded actually. But if you'd like to hear me speak French, I have a full video in French on my channel too xx
Wonderful Wonderful Sharing Iris🥹💗💗 and I really really needed it and I wish you have a adorable weekend
you tooo 🥰
