surely me back and forth in Japan yeah

well hello folks if you're watching me
today that means that you are quite
eager to learn French and that you are a
complete beginner so what it is we are
going to do together well I'm going to
teach you the basic French okay from
numbers D colors the month of the year
but I'm going to go much deeper which
means that this series has 45 lessons
hopefully eventually you'll be able to
speak French I mean not as a fluent
speaker but at least as someone who will
be able to understand instructions and
be able to be on the street so this is
the objective of the next 45 lessons
obviously we are going to start with a
little basic words that you need to know
and then go on to learning the major
tenses and the major auxiliary verbs
major article you need to know and so on
okay don't panic yet it's fine I will
try to make it as simple as possible and
hopefully you will become a confident
French speaker okay so we are going to
start by the very beginning by
introducing ourselves okay we can say
bonjour can you say that
Bonjour and obviously Portia with hello
and we know that
okay now this lesson is going to be very
simple to start with you might know
everything which is absolutely fine but
you will notice that by lesson 15 you
will have learned a lot of things and
hopefully things that you don't know
okay so can you say bonjour
plebeian can you say that again Bonjour
well done Bravo well let me introduce
myself my name is Alexa
je m'appelle Alexa bonjour je m'appelle
means my name is technically it means I
myself call okay I am cold okay my name
is so it's not the translation my name
is Manu
if you wish it's like saying I am cold
or I call myself more like say je
m'appelle Alexa can you say je m'appelle
well done
je m'appelle can you say your name my
done je m'appelle my name is oh I am
cold okay oh I call myself okay Alexa je
m'appelle Alexa Mushu Bonjour Bonjour we
all know means hello there is another
way of saying hello in French its salut
can you say that
salut that means hello but that means
goodbye as well and if you wish the
difference between Bonjour and salut
is the fact that Bonjour is slightly
more common than salut
Sally is more colloquial if you wish you
wouldn't write it down okay and you
wouldn't say salut to someone much older
that you meet in the street for example
you would say bonjour okay it's more
formal if you wish okay so so far we've
learned three words Bonjour
salut and sure m'appelle sure m'appelle
okay which means I call myself oh I am
okay sure m'appelle okay now tell me how
are you feeling today
come on Sava come on Sava now
technically coma means how Sava means
how is it going okay
come on Sava now if someone says to you
c'mon Sava or just simply server then
you can do answer Sava amake server or
you could say Suburbia I'm okay suburbia
and well if you wish suburbia but you
could say server mail server mal I'm not
okay Sava mal that technically if you
translate that word for word it means
it's going bad okay Sava mal but if you
wanted to say I'm okay I'm so so if you
wish okay not okay

that so far you understood everything I
said what could well be because you're

that you are a complete beginner and it
sound very clear now can you introduce
yourself to me bonjour je m'appelle Sava
dia man oh come see Konza ill fare book
oh if it's not and if it's raining in
blue in blue plebeian
now you may think that I live in France
but I don't live in France at all I live
in England in French
England is angleterre now can you say
that all glued there now I'm aware that
if you are watching me you might not be
from England angleterre and you mean
people watching me from all over the
world
okay so I'm going to introduce you to a
few countries but obviously not all of
them and maybe you could make a sentence
using that Chabot can you say that
Chabot
now Chabot means I live Chabot
can you say that Chabot if you look at
the word a bit there is the word habitat
in it okay obviously you can't hear the
sound edge because in France we don't
pronounce the edge a bit okay instead of
habit okay
a bit now sure means I but we are going
to find out all these things over the
next few lessons so don't panic too much
I'm just introducing you to some words
Chabot I live if you live in England
Chabot or non glue there can you say
that try bein Chabot
oh no glitter well done
very good now if you live in phones
Chabot Oh Falls Chabot Oh France my done
what if I say Chabot
oh nice bania where do I live jab it a
nice pioneer and that's right I live in
Spain well done
what if I said Chabot Oh Italy Chabot ah
in Italy easy easy busy should I say
with my Italian accent speaking English
anyway it means I live in Italy okay
what if I said Chabot Oh Sheen
jab it Oh shin uh-huh
that's right I live in China Bravo jab
it Oh
shin okay what if I said to you jab it
Oh none Chabot Oh none okay that means I
live in India and last but not least for
example Chabot or Swiss Chabot Oh Swiss
that's right Swiss is Switzerland okay
but obviously I'm missing out millions
of not millions but a few thousand
countries here and so don't panic you
can always you know find out by yourself
what your country is but what you need
to be very careful is what comes before
the country the name
okay the name now here I used Oh a lot
Chabot Oh Shin Chabot
Oh non grata jabot Oh Natalie Javed Oh
phones most of the time it is going to
be on because the country is of feminine
gender now don't panic too much now we
will find out about feminine and
masculine in other lessons okay but I
don't want to worry you too much with
that yet so if a country is of feminine
gender you use on however there are
countries of masculine gender or plural
gender if it's masculine you use all now
Japan Japan sorry Japan is oh chapel
Portugal is oh poor together so you
wouldn't say Chabot Oh
Portugal you would say Chabot Oh
Portugal Chabot Oh chapel okay
and for pre-roll for example for the
United States you would say Chabot Oh
Zetas uni now Oh is here again
except that Oh as an ex at the end again
one of these funny words that I don't
want to wear you weave quite yet all you
need to know here
is that Oh as an ex but it sounds like
this when we use it as you need so jab
it o Zetas in E okay
Chabot Oh Zetas Unni okay
jab it Oh Peggy bah okay
jab it o PE BAM which which are the
Netherlands okay right

is the end of our first lesson but what
I would like you to do is just practice
these little words and ask each other if
you are watching that with other people
you could say Come on table - what is
your name
come on tie belt you and the other
person could say sure m'appelle then you
could say good more sever and the other
person you could say sever yeah

work with we work in front of the mirror
nobody will be watching don't worry
