I Learned to Speak French in 12 Hours

This is my challenge to learn to speak French in 12 hours on a livestream. I am a complete beginner and have never studied any French before. I have set up back-to-back conversations with French tutors from around the world (including from France, Canada, Cameroon, and Senegal) and I’m going to do my best to try and learn as much French as possible in one continuous 12 hour livestream, which is the longest KZfaq allows you to stream and save it as a video afterwards. This video will showcase my raw process of language learning. I’m curious to see how much I can learn to speak conversationally by the end of this video, but I also think this will be a useful 12-hour long French class if you’re looking to learn French from scratch! So come study with me!
If you would like to get in touch with the French tutors I learned with today, here is their contact information in order of when they appeared in the video. Most of them have Italki pages where you can directly book time to learn languages.

Lexi is a good teacher. She talks very clearly and a little slower for beginners and corrects almost every mistake explaining to Xiaoma. She encourages and doesn't let him get stuck when he doesn't know. Xiaoma is already tired after that many hours and I'm sure he learned more from that teacher. Also, the fact to having a neutral French accent is good for learners. Nothing against other French-speaking countries or accents, I lived in Quebec and in Africa. Even for French, if you learn with a NOrthern or Southern accent of Marseille, it will be a bit more complicated to switch to neutral French

As a western Canadian, I learned French in school but my comprehension isn't great and my speaking is poor. Tried to be better at it via DuoLingo etc but just not having much success. Listening to this video is turning out to be a GREAT way to brush up on my French! I'm playing it in the background while I work, and it is so helpful! I'm going to have to see if there are other videos like this on KZfaq where new French speakers converse with a fluent French speaker. I can see why Xiaoma chooses this method for learning a new language fast.

It bothered me so much that none of the teachers tried to teach Xiaoma the basic sounds of French until Samuel!! It is the most basic stuff to learn, and you'll only be able to communicate if your pronunciation is good enough. He was one of the best ones, correcting the pronunciation and translating new sentences word for word, very didactic. But besides that, awesome livestream!! Really interesting to watch your progress after each class throughout the TWELVE hours hahah French is an incredible language.

@user-ke4xe4fz3t 8 ай бұрын

Yes I noticed that as well, It was a relief when Samuel came in and brought that up. Wish he had gone through all of the sounds. Not that it really seemed to make a difference for Xiaoma, no offense lol. I am brand new learning French too but I was thinking if he says que as “KAY” instead of “KUH” after being corrected for the 6000th time i’m going to pull my hair out… EDIT: I’m now at the end with the word “famille” and I actually think he may have a learning disability.

What you find over time especially when one speaks two languages well (I am a Shona native and was fluent in English at 5 years of age) when one language is stronger than the other, the brain will look for words in the stronger language hence the mixing of languages. Olly Richards spoke about this in one of his videos (Spanish and Portuguese) and he remedied this having actual language exchanges or conversations with natives where he forced himself to switch between Spanish and Portuguese until his brain got comfortable and this took a while but his brain managed to adjust. Which is why they always encourage people to get to a high level in a language (C1) before starting another one

The number of accents this guy went through during the challenge made it.... You guessed it: Harder The right idea after learning the basics was to re-enforce their pronunciations I think, which some tutors definitely did although I didn't watch too well. I'm pretty sure he's going to be speaking multiple pronunciations in one sentence tomorrow lol. He clearly dived in head-first though, do I need to say I'm impressed?

@@Cam-wo3mu NOT AT ALL, French is for a long time harder than Italian because in the French language the words are more complicated to write and pronounce in certain words some letters are silent at times and others not, there are a LOT of exceptions, there are words that look the same in writing and that don't sound the same, and there are words that look so similar that we can be wrong even we French have problems with our own languages sometimes. In addition there are different words to express a feeling, there are different registers of the language: current, colloquial sustained and the “Verlan” French slangs which consists of inverting the syllables of one word to form another like ( crazy become zy-cray or zee-cray) and he has the language of young people.

As a teacher myself, I think the first tutor was excellent. She met him at his level, didn't overcorrect or overexplain, but managed to cover the basics of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. It's important not to overteach a beginner, but to dose knowledge carefully according to your student's capacity to truly absorb it.

@@Pookiebearhungry Sometimes, I explain it to my friends like, "Imagine you just learned BBC English, pass out, and when you wake up, you're in some remote Scottish village and have to ask a nearby elderly farmer for directions home." To be fair, some people have much thicker accents than others - my native language is French, and even I often had trouble understanding my great uncle's combination of thick Gaspé accent and mumbling. The other part is that while non-Québecois French speakers usually understand formal Québec French without too much difficulty, casual Québec French likes to drop a significant number of syllables, and sometimes modify the remaining ones a bit. So you'll start with something they'll teach FSL speakers, like 'Je ne le sais pas,' and then right off the bat the locals will drop 'Je ne le' and then pronounce the remaining 'sais pas' as 'shaypa.'

@italixgaming915 3 жыл бұрын

This is a really difficult challenge, French is indeed a Romance language - and has some similarities with Spanish or Italian - but with a more complex grammar - and spelling words is also a complete nightmare, even for most of French people. Learning French only with oral conversation is really difficult, especially if you choose teachers from various regions of the world. I would not recommend this at all for a beginner: the pronunciation is different and also sometimes the grammar. For example Alexandre started his questions with "As-tu...", which is completely common in oral conversations in Quebec, but a speaker from Europe would rather say "Est-ce que tu as...", even if both are grammatically correct in France ("As-tu" is more frequently used in written standard French). So if you learn French with teachers from different areas, the risk is mixing local grammar and pronunciation rules. So I would not recommend that until you reached at least level B1. For beginners, the best is to stay with teachers from France, Belgium or Switzerland - Belgian and Swiss French are very close to standard French so that wouldn't be an issue - or with teachers from Canada if you're from NA and plan to interact mostly with French Canadian speakers.

I really like this type of video! I'm originally from Quebec but my family moved when I was little so I only really learned French (early intermediate level?) as an adult, and this is a great review even for me. You did amazing even after the first hour - awesome job!

This is scarily impressive. Not so much the improvement but the motivation and dedication. Having that amount of motivation and dedication you can genuinely do anything you want
