Learning French with Alexa

This week, I practiced learning French with a series of videos from the Learning French with Alexa on YouTube. I mainly focused on this video.

Learning French with Alexa is a great YouTuber. She goes over the French phrase, then repeats it and then there is a “test” at the end that goes over what she had just taught. This week, I decided to focus on learning how to say different moods in French. I think that we say our moods quite often in English, so why not try to learn them in French too? I thought that it would tie in perfectly with my learning project!

I thought a funny and enjoyable thing about the video from Learning with Alexa is that she put on funny glasses that represented different moods to get her viewers to guess what mood she is and to say it in French. It made the video more fun to watch and made it feel less like “work.” All of her other videos are like this too, very enjoyable and fun!

I recently bought a new iPad and I used my it to write down the phrases this week. I found it helpful because I have always had my iPad on me lately. So, I could easily go back and refer to the phrases and practicing saying them. Alexa went over the masculine & feminine phrases of the different moods and she explained it in a way that a beginner could easily understand! I definitely recommend Learning with Alexa on YouTube if you are a beginner learning French!

  1. Hi Amie!

    Learning moods in French is fun and essential for the learning process. I will have to look at some of Alexa’s videos; thanks for sharing this source. Keep up the great work!

  2. Hey Amie,

    I am actually super happy to see that you are learning french. I have a 7 year old daughter who is in french, and I am not. I have been wanting to find away to connect with her on a more school level but with the difference in french and english I have been primarily connecting only in english. I think this is great and thank you for letting us in on what is working well for you, I’m going to have to give it a try.
