This is a language review for the French language. It will go over the grammar, the speakers, the vocabulary and many more things! I am a polyglot, more specifically a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male. I love learning languages, and I quit my job to do it! If you want to learn French, this video is important for you as a French learner.

You know, learning a language just to troll the native speakers online is the best reason to learn a language

I've lived with a French-speaking family in KYRGYZSTAN and they also happened to speak Russian and Kyrgyz. I think even their dog was not a usual monolingual whoof-whoof dog.

In short, French is great, review Slovenian

French's real difficulty is not the accents, it's that you can explain any grammar rule in one minute but then have to spend a quarter hour listing all the exceptions and special cases where said rule doesn't apply.

Good video thought, it's always interesting to listen to foreigners' view of the language ^^

The amount of people who didn’t understand that you were obviously joking when you said that many french words come from “american” is actually concerning

[Hugawt]

Je suis très heureux de savoir que ma langue soit classée en tant que Gigachad :)

As a French I must correct something, actually French stole some words from English but the majority of English words are based on French words, and not the inverse.

My proudest moment speaking French was during a 2 week exchange with my high school. We went deep into the French alps so naturally we went skiing. Waiting for a lift I said "Je suis tres fatigue" with l'homme a cote de moi and he responded. I kept up with my best high school honors French, talking about the time, weather, etc. Eventually he started saying things I didn't understand and I had to say "je ne comprende pas, je suis American." And the guy was floored. He thought I was French because I didn't have an American accent.

The 2nd best part was exchanging dirty songs with the other boys. I taught them Monty Pythons "Sit on my face" and they taught me one about going to town on an old smelly prostitute. My mother was thrilled.

Eau being pronounced with the one vowel that is not actually in the word is one of my favorite language learning moments ever

The mix of true information and sarcastic ironic presentation is gold. Étant un criss de québécois du calisse, j’ai adoré ta vidéo. Continue comme ça mon kevin

[skyraiderdu]

"Le vocabulaire n'est pas très compliqué" sûrement la meilleure blague de l'année 😂

8:40 Ironically, as a native French speaker, I absolutely cannot fathom how you're supposed to pronounce the English R, so I guess the struggle is both ways!

[LuisKolodin]

I'm Brazilian and I found French quite easy to learn, once you surpass the initial shock. Pronunciation is similar to us (we also do liaisons, exactly in the same way). But the y, en thing... Omg! I could never feel the need of them.😢

[calixte]

6:11 The "è" is really important. The "é" sounds like the "e" in "fiancee" or "cafe", while the "è" makes the same sound as the "e" in "where"

[ziggystardog]

As an American, I blame all spelling mistakes on French. I would rate it dogwater, but I can’t spell it correctly.

[inferno]

8:00 le mec invente un nouveau pronom personnel et personne ne dit rien

[GamerCatGD]

6:10 the ô means that the previous way of writing the word was with os like "hôpital" which was previously "hospital" (sometimes it isn't a s that was replaced but that is very rare)

[Monkey_D_Fabian]

As a french, you triggered me the ENTIRE VIDEO !! The most triggering part was the moment of the “English words that were stolen by the french” ! Knowing that this is the exact opposite of what really happened is triggering my entire Frenchbody x) ! And knowing that there is 10% of Americans that will think that’s true it’s triggering me even more :(
EDIT : I KNOW that he’s doing it in PURPOSE !! I’m just saying that he done it really well !! Don’t worry I know that this is sarcastic x)

Les français ne corrigent pas que les étrangers, on corrige également les erreurs des autres français. Et il n'y a qu'à Paris où c'est utilisé pour alimenter un complexe de supériorité.
Excellente vidéo.

[ermedas]

Ton français est vraiment très bon, en plus d'avoir un bon accent tu parles en utilisant des mots que nous français on utilise mais que ceux qui apprenent la langue ne connaissent pas d'habitude. Tu parles quasiment comme un natif en vrai. Beau travail. Great job.

[Paradox-omlm]

French is the only language I have heard where native speakers sound like they are struggling to speak it.
