I did try by using Duolingo and it worked well.

Many people told me that this app is bad, but for Me it worked just fine and I can recommend it.

I learned French like for 1,5 month, I dedicated myself well to it and learned a lot but then I decided to drop it for German because it is easier, less frustrating and more useful for me.

I will return to French sometime in the future.

I would also like to note that Alizée was not the only reason for me to learn French.

Year ago I saw my maternal genealogical tree and I discovered that one of my ancestors was a Frenchman. He was a soldier of Napoleon who after the Napoelonic Wars ended settled down in my village and assimilated. I am proud of having French blood, although it is only 1/64 of my ethnicity.

And for a short time I was thinking about joining the French Foreign Legion.

Good tip!

I didn’t even remember that Elise had already mentioned that Duolingo.

Now I thought it was probably a paid service, but so great when it’s really free!

And great that it’s an empirical fact now - that you can learn with it!

I just need to get "time" to start studying properly! I mean, you have to focus and be serious if you want to learn languages! The reason for learning when there is no problem now - Alizée !!!!

A fun way to learn French with these two French guys or as they introduce themselves "We're just two guys from Paris, lost in the US..."

Alizee 4K ! I like the British and the French, too ! I used to work for the British Navy in NATO; so I started spelling Defence the British way; instead of the American Defense ( with sort of a lisp ! ) I even put it that way on my Resumes ! So that one interviewer asked me if I was British ? But I told him no; I've simply decided that is the correct way to spell it ! I try to pick up some French from Alizee's singing. For instance I looked up OTE ! which she says in her stage performance of the j'en ai Marre ! [ And here I take writer's license; despite the words of the song She is dancing because she is upset with her boyfriend ! And when Le French girl is chewing you out and is waving her arms and wrists at you in the Air; She is Breaking Up with you ! and when she crosses her arms over her chest and says "OTE !" it is over ! OTE, from what I looked up Means the Dinner is over; or the Dinner has to be cleared ! Or the situation is Over !

If you post to a YT video it comes over as https:// ; but you have to cut it down to http:// because the s will disable it ! Scruffydog777 showed me this as he is an expert !

Hi Alizee 4K
I am sorry I try to reply to you ; but the system is giving me fits and logging me off for some reason ? I think you are really intelligent with your comments ! So maybe I can get in a longer reply later ? It is very nice you are living in Paris and can go to the Louvre Museum ! I would want to do that whenever I get there !
I am semi-retired now and writing some books. Hopefully to get one done this year and it may be good enough for a movie, also ! I need like a Game of Thrones or a Lord of the Rings ! Ha !

Took French my senior year of high school because of Alizée and another French singer’s music. I am definitely not fluent but I did use some French when I went to Paris France with my ex back in 2015. Sometimes at work I meet up with foreigners who come from French speaking countries and then I can speak a little French with them.
