🇫🇷 How to use 'ABOUT' in French

"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?

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!
Bonne continuation sur ta chaîne, j'espère qu'elle va décoller !

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

I want all of my french teachers to look at your videos

[lisalu]

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?

[jninrrh]

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.

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!

[charnelkilondo]

Thanks for your help, I like it so much.

[bassamal-kaaki]

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

[kubahabet]

Thank you for your videos they really help!!

[vincentpiazza]

Thank you Alex for your thoughtful teaching of the French phrases most useful to us.
The French equivalents are very helpful.

[TheLinkMedic]

Great videos you make grammar more bearable the way you explain it. You have a great aptitude for teaching.

[kasiadzwoni]

I found your videos really helpful. Wish all the best!

Very helpful. Thanks for this. Others that seem to come up are "s'agit de", "a sujet de" and "environ".
