I tell my friends all the time that Duolingo is not enough because it doesn’t teach the “why” insofar as grammar, whenever someone asks me about the why of french pronouns, I will definitely show them this video. Thanks for the awesome vid, brb gonna go watch the y/en explanation now!

Thank you. This was probably the BEST explication of French pronouns that I have come across on the internet. So good in fact that I think I am going to give your 'subjunctif' video a try!😉

This is seriously the best explanation I've encountered up until this moment! I always wondered how to form sentences with pronouns in general and this is just so helpful! Thanks so much man!

Very well explained. This is exactly how the teacher explained the order of French pronouns to my class of 11 year olds, back in 1955, in England. We were told to think of the table as a hockey or football team, with five forwards, three mid-fielders, two backs, and a goalie, leaving “en” standing behind the goal (he was a photographer, or the referee, I think). We learned to recite “me te se nous vous before le la les, before lui leur, before y, before en, before the verb” and it stuck! My love of French started that year, and eventually led to a degree, a career teaching French (including to native speakers), and retirement in a beautiful medieval village with a vew of the Mediterranean. I still think of my first French teacher with gratitude.

These videos are fantastic. I even showed them to my french tutor. Great work!

[creekstones]

thank you so much. seriously. I'm in French 2 in college and struggling so much. The class is at your own pace and no lectures and online so it's hard to really get some practice or more explanation and this really helped clear a lot of things up for me. Now I'm going to check out the rest of your videos :) !Thanks !

I literally saw this video a dozen times at least. It's so practical and to the point that it makes me wonder why do all other resources and videos seem so confusing. A Big thank you !

You are so very good in teaching a language, I very much like the details you provide, they way you break up and explain your samples, the comparisons you provide are ideal for my style of learning. Great work!

[ladybug]

perfect, step-by-step explanation of direct and indirect subject pronouns. Its quite a difficult concept to grasp but you made it easy to remember.

One of the BEST YouTube French channels for grammar lessons for FSL learners!

This is the BEST video on French pronouns on YouTube.

Awesome video, I've been learning French on my own with Duolingo and YouTube videos for a few months now and this clears up so much for me, I am going to binge watch all of your videos.
