Hands down, one of the best French language teachers online.

Amazing video.
Another reason why gender is important:
Some words that are spelled and pronounced exactly the same may take different meanings for different genders. For instance "le livre" means the book, whereas "la livre" means Pound Sterling.

dear alexa: when I started learning french, you were/are the first french teacher I subscribed to. Since then, I have been following you and other teachers on Youtube in search of that magic wand that will teach me french the fastest and the easiest. But, and I truly mean it, you are one of the best, if not the best, french teacher of all. Thank you very much and I will continue following you. Merci beaucoup!

The clarity in your teaching is amazing!

[charlesz]

English is my second language. How simple English actually is! Learning French is like doing acrobatics in your head. Haha... French people see a gender in everything they see (my eyes are popping).

[stressboy]

Your videos are totally underrated. I hope more people will get to watch your videos. I've learnt Spanish, Italian and French through Youtube and I can confidently say that yours is by far the best and the most concise teaching video I have watched. It is just amazinggg!!! Merci beaucoup Alexa

[harjeetkaur]

I love the way she explain everything so clearly

[steeleronfire]

One thing I might add where you compare interrogative pronouns from french to english (11:55) .. when you go from singular to plural in english there is actually a change that is needed from "what" to "which" ... so it should be "What pen is on the table" and "which pens are on the table"

[judgegrinch]

I wish the 300 dollars I spent on the book and the online program would have been half this good. If I'm gonna get ripped off by college and forced to buy a 300 dollar book it should at least be worth half that at bare minimum

[Rowingchamp]

I love these videos. So clear and well explained. The strength is in the examples given... thank you very much

[raghadmalawani]

You are a great teacher Alexa . It is my third day of learning french ! I am 17 and I have loved this language .. I hope I will continue

[pattjer]

She is one of the best for English speakers and Nelson for Spanish speakers. Thanks a lot for this video.

[badaradenis]

Best French teacher you improve people's French every day

[jhunnoethiz]

In my language, even animals have no gender, we call cat as "pusa" ( whether it's male or a female),
book as "aklat" ( no gender at all)
So is every thing, only person has a gender.
I think you're the best French teacher I know :)

[louiseharris]

Learnt so much from this lesson, merci!

[inglesbiblico]

You're one of the best teachers I have ever seen! Merci!

[Penis]

This is probably the most important video to comprehending the fundamentals of French...unless I'm ahead of myself. All of French is surrounded by Gender and number, you can't get away from it!! very nice video. Merci, et bisou bisou :)

[yerpenn]

This is the best, comprehensive, least complicated, helpful lesson on this infuriatingly complex subject I have ever heard. Thank you Alexa.

[la-civetta]

Excellent lesson, Alexa! :)

Regarding the structure, I would rather call the "5 reasons" word groups, as they all refer to a comparable class of elements (possessive pronouns, subject pronouns, demonstrative pronouns...).

6:40 You use the word "agree" here, but a better translation would be "to conform, to match, to correspond". The number and gender of adjectives and possessive pronouns (...) match, correspond to, conform with the number and gender of the noun.
