How to learn French with videos ?

Hi, Welcome all on Fast French Learning, the blog to Learn and Improve your French 🇫🇷 😀

Videos are a very nice resource to improve the language and to learn more about the French culture. Watching and listening to videos is one of the most efficient way to improve your oral comprehension. You can listen to the real spoken French language, the one you can hear when you walk down the street, with French expressions, the same experience as if you were listenting to a discussion between several native French people. So, you will get the grammar rules without thinking of it, the structures of the phrases as well, the spoken French language as we speak in everyday life. If you do not live in a French speaking country and if you can not go in France, Belgium or Québec, if you cannot talk to native French people, watching videos is the best way to learn the French language. Watching videos is for everyone, no matter yournelvel is, you can take the most of it.

I suggest you to watch short videos, between 5 and 10 minutes, choose one video for one day, or better than that, you can choose one video for one week, and warch it until you understand everything. If you understand quickly it is nicer for you, it is important, you can calculate your success, you can do it everyday, so you are going to have pleasure to learn the French language and keep the desire up. I strongly suggest you to choose a subject that you like, it will keep up the desire of learning the French language, and to solve what you need to solve to be better at using the French language. You should have a list of several videos with subjects you like, so yo can watch them again and again until you can understand everything without the written part. When you want to hear again some special words or speial French idioms. Forgetting is part of learning, so learn until you feel comfortable at speaking the French language, it worth it, then you are going to have pleasure to speak it.

Why videos are a very nice way to learn the French language ?

Usually human beings prefer watching videos than reading books, or using textbooks. So in order to do that you can use the most famous library of videos in the world, this is youtube. Among a variety of topics, to improve your French, you can study the grammar rules, the conjugation rules, comedies, how to have conversations, the news,... There is a course for the subject you want. A good thing is that you can create a playlist and go back to it whenever you want. I suggest you to remember this sometimes, during your learning French journey : kids learn something new through imitation. So, to learn a foreign language they imitate their parents and the persons in the environment in which they operate.

Watch videos with subtitles

Sometimes, even if you are good at understanding the French language, if you have an advanced level, it is not always  easy to understand everything, maybe the character speaks too fast or they are using some specifics words,... Using the subtitles allows you to practice reading.
