Speak French with Confidence with my 4-step methodology: bit.ly/3qMPU7L
"About" can take on many forms in English, so why would it be any different in French? I take a look at some of the most common ways of expressing yourself in French where you'd use "about" in English.
Thinking about you...
What do you think about him?
How about we go away?
What's it about?

The Community tab is now here for the channel, which means I have a direct line of communication with you here on KZfaq. Look out for polls and important updates to the channel over there :).

Your content is much better than even the content of the native French , but why your viewers are few 🤔 you deserve more than that

Maybe you could have added « il s’agit de » that also can mean it is about :)

Good video. I've studied French a good many years - and spent time in France - but I still don't have a good grasp of "s'agir." Can you explain that one in an upcoming video?

@lecirdaluz 2 жыл бұрын

Here is a combination of words that took me awhile to figure out: s'agit (it’s about): tu sais de quoi il s’agit? do you know what it's about? - š’agit: parce qu'il s'agit d'un des acteurs. because he is one of the actors. Compounded words are specifically difficult because they’re hardly ever in any dictionary. Another example of a compounded word: “en train de” (in the process of…) Je suis en train d'apprendre le Français.. or the gerund: I am learning French. « En l'air de « - il fait que… etc..

"le film est a propos de", its a weird way to say it and people would use the word "parler" in that context .

Hi Alex! French native speaker here! I just came across your videos that I find very well made. Just wanted to react to you way of explaining how to describe movies or books. Using "à propos" is correct indeed but I think we, as French natives, use far more often "parler de, raconter" when we describe movies and books. For instance, "Le film raconte l'histoire d'un couple qui déménage dans une nouvelle ville" / "C'est un livre qui parle de la Seconde Guerre mondiale". For me, it sounds more natural but again, using "à propos" is totally correct!

Hi Alex, love the videos, they really help me as a struggling Anglais en France! Suggestion, how about a video on "se faire"? One of the more tricky verbs!

@user-jn3in4rr1h

I love your lessons and Your delightful humor. I feel that someday I may speak good French and much of it will be thanks to you. Thank you. I am from Boston, MA.
