This week, I used Learning with French Pod 101 on YouTube to learn new French words and also iMovie to edit a video of showing you my progress with the language.
I originally tried to use the YouTube video editor to edit my video, but it wasn’t coming up. So, I thought that iMovie was my next best option to edit my video. I found it helpful to have the words on the screen, so that my viewers can follow along with what I’m saying. It helped me to see it as well!
I learned a few new common French words to help aid in my conversation in French. The videos from Learning with French Pod 101 were helpful. The facilitator sounds the word multiple times, so that we had the chance to practice the word and also used the word in a sentence. I recommend this channel to anybody that is beginning to learn French.
I tried adding music to my video as well, but I found that the music was too loud and overpowered my voice. I’m not sure if you can tone down the volume of the music or not. (Hey, I’m a beginner). I found that adding the subtitles was sufficient enough for the length of the video. But, one day, I hope to be a pro video editor like some of the videos that I see on YouTube!!
Hi Amie, it is so nice to see someone else learning a language for their learning journey! Youtube is such a great platform to learn from and in turn you can also post your own content on there. I think you did amazing! Hope your enjoying learning this language, take care!
Hi Amie, I have used iMovie a lot over the years and I’m glad you were able to use it effectively. I’m not sure if you figured out how to change music volume, but you definitely can. There is a volume button which has a slider where you can adjust the audio. I’m also impressed with the words you were able to learn, good luck with your learning.
