Learn French lesson 2

Bonjour tout le monde. Hello everyone and welcome in Easy French Lessons. Today is lesson 2. Before we start with our lesson today, I want to tell you that today's lesson guide is for free. So, if you want to get it, you have to do one thing. Just contact me on easyfrenchlessons at hotmail.com and it is done. Now, let's get started with our vocabulary section. Allons-y! The first word for today is the word ENCHANTÉ, which means nice to meet you. But, there is two genres. If you are a man, you will write ENCHANTÉ with e apostrophe. And if you are a female, it will be with double e and one is with an apostrophe, as you can see on your screen. On the pronunciation, there is no problem. ENCHANTÉ for the man, ENCHANTÉ for the female. But when you write it, it's different. So, warning when you will write. The other word for today is the word DE. I repeat DE. And DE in French has two meanings. The meaning of FROM and the meaning of OF. But today, we will take the meaning of FROM. So, DE means FROM. The other word is the word OU. I repeat OU. It's so easy to pronounce it. And OU means WHERE. And look at the apostrophe on the U, because we will see another OU after. Now, we have a rule. How to say FROM WHERE or for asking FROM WHERE ARE YOU? So, FROM WHERE, in French, we have to put DE, which means FROM, plus OU, which means WHERE. But in French, you cannot say DE OU. When two vowels meet each other, so we will make an apostrophe. And it will be DE. It is not pronounced DE OU, but it is pronounced DE. This is how to say FROM WHERE. Now, we will see this rule, how to ask the question WHERE ARE YOU FROM? So, all you have to do is to put DO, which means FROM WHERE, plus a verb conjugated at the right person, and finally, the personal pronoun. For example, if I would say WHERE ARE YOU FROM? I would say DO E CÜ. DO, which means FROM WHERE. E, it's the conjugation of the verb to be for the personal pronoun YOU. And you have, finally, the personal pronoun CÜ, which means YOU. DO E CÜ. Now, we will learn how to make the negation in French. It's so easy. All you have to do is to put the personal pronoun, plus NE, as it is shown on yellow, I repeat, it's NE, plus the verb conjugated, and finally, plus PA. It's not PAS, but it is pronounced PA. And if your verb has for first letter a vowel, and as I told you before, the vowels in French haven't the right to meet each other, so we make the apostrophe, as you can see, with these vowels. And our final word for today is the word U, which I promised to you. So, this U without an apostrophe means OR, and the U with apostrophe, it means WHERE. I hope you got it. Now, let's get started with our dialogue section. Dialogue 1. Bonjour. Je suis Adrien. Qui es-tu? Je suis Julie. Enchanté. Moi, je suis de France. D'où es-tu? Je suis, moi aussi, de France. Second dialogue. Tu es de France ou de Belgique? Je suis de Belgique. Je suis de Bruxelles. Third dialogue. D'où es-tu? Je suis de Londres. Es-tu de Paris? Non, je ne suis pas de Paris. Je suis de Londres. Now, let's explain our dialogue. In our first dialogue, it was Bonjour. It means good morning or hello. And he said, Je suis Adrien. It means I'm Adrien. And he asked her, Qui es-tu? which means who are you. She says, Je suis Julie. I'm Julie. And finally, he said to her, Enchanté which means nice to meet you. And she answered him, Enchanté. And it was the same intonation and the same pronunciation. And after that, he told her, Moi, je suis de France which means I'm from France. France is France. And he asked her, D'où es-tu? which means where are you from. She asked, Je suis aussi de France. I'm. Je suis. Aussi means to. De means from and France means France. It's the same order of the words as in English. So, Je suis aussi de France. It means I'm too from France. And in our second dialogue, it was, Tu es de France ou de Belgique? Are you from France or Belgium? Tu es de France. You are from France. Où here. Où means or and not where. And de means from. Belgique is Belgium. She told him, Je suis de Belgique. I'm from Belgium. Je suis de Bruxelles. I'm from Brussels. Brussels in English. Bruxelles in French. In the third dialogue, it was, D'où es-tu? Where are you from? She asked, Je suis de Londres. I'm from Londres. Londres is London. So it was, I'm from London. He asked her, Es-tu de Paris? Are you from Paris? Paris is Paris. She asked, Non. Je ne suis pas de Paris. Here, she made the negation. So for je ne suis pas, we have the personal pronoun je, ne of the rule, suis, the verb conjugate of the right person, and pas for the rule, de Paris, from Paris. And she told him, Je suis de Londres. I'm from London. I hope you enjoyed our lesson today. And before we leave each other, I want to remind you that our today's lesson guide is for free.
