Learning French on YouTube
Hey guys, here are some of my favorite channels on youtube for learning French.
Francais avec Pierre - great channel if you want to know more about grammar rules and expressions, how to sound really French and natural. He also makes videos about the DELF/DALF exams…
Comme une Française - also very good if you are confused about certain things… you can learn a lot about used expressions and words you would not find in a book
1 jour, 1 question - the main purpose of this channel is to explain things to kids, but in a fun way. It’s animated and short, but it’s great for obtaining a wide range of vocabulary, because the themes go from politics, geography and history to something like animals and food. Also might be good for learning about some history things, and interesting new facts, not just learning French.
Learn French with FrenchPod101.com - again… grammar, expressions, vocabulary channel
Cyprien - this is the only channel that is just a normal channel, not meant for learning French (but I am sure everyone knows Cyprien anyway). I just really enjoy his videos and it’s very useful for learning new words and of course for some listening practice.
.
I am sure there are many more channels like these… but I just wanted to write down my favorite ones for you guys
