Thanks Herman, you are doing a great job.
Thanks man, this is allsome
I can’t thank you enough for your efforts of providing the free lessons. You’re the man Herman. Merci beaucoup!!!
merci!! i really look forward to make some progress!
Thank your for your kindness and your dedication in helping others understanding French language better.
Bonjour Pr. Herman, j’espere que vous allez tres bien. D’accord maintenant, comment est-ce qu’ils inserent toutes les accents dans les mots ici – accent grave, accent aigu, cedilla et l’accent dans le verbe – etre (je ne sais pas le nom)? Repondez-vous s’il vous plait.
Hmmm, j’espere que j’ai parler correctment ici. s’il vous plait, puvez-vous me corriger.
Merci beaucoup!
La belle,
Oui, je vais très bien, merci.
Pour insérer les accents, tu devras savoir quelques petits détails au sujet de ton ordinateur. Par exemple, si tu utilises un PC, tu pourras ouvrir le programme WORD et utiliser le menu INSERT–>SYMBOL, et voilà! Ou alors, il te faudra aussi connaitre certains raccourcis(short-cuts) de ton clavier (PC). Par exemple, é = Alt+0233 ; è = Alt + 0232 ; à = Alt + 0224 ; ç = Alt + 0231 ; ô = Alt + 0244, etc. Il existe aussi quelques site webs qui le font automatiquement pour toi…Tu pourrais donc chercher sur Google.
P.S. Ton message est presque sans fautes (a part quelques accents qui manquent)..Une correction: “j’ai parlé…” et “pouvez-vous…”
Merci
Merci beaucoup, Herman!
This is a very nice help thank you very much
merci
Salut Herman, comment allez-vous ce soir? Please, has there been any post recently on a fresh topic as the last of the topics i saw on the youtube downloads was on conditional mood(2). I need to be abreast of all your lessons. Please get me updated.
Merci.
ow ow, time shown in my comment says 10:33AM while now is evening for us. Pardon the “CE SOIR”
Bonjour Prof, ça va? S’il vous plaît, ou puis-je trouver le leçon de LES VERBES DU TROISIÈME GROUPE (IR)? Vous me repondez, s’il vous plaît.
Salut La Belle,
Ce site ne contient pas encore de leçons sur les verbes du 3ème groupe (IR). Ce groupe verbal est un peu complexe et les règles de conjugaison générales ne s’appliquent pas toujours à celui-ci. Il serait mieux peut-être de commencer par un bon manuel de conjugaison comme le Bescherelle ou tout autre site de conjugaison française comme Wordreference.com.
Bonne chance!
Herman
Yes, thanks Professor!!!
YOU’RE THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!
THANKS FOR HELP US!
I FELL I LOVE YOU
Awww, that is so sweet of you, Karen! Merci beaucoup.
Bonjour Hernan!
Firstly, thanks for all the help. These lessons are very useful
I just have a comment about WEEK 7 LECON 2. At the end of it you say that you don’t know the reason of using QUEL/QUELLE with the verbe ETRE to ask questions like QUEL EST TON AGE?
Well, it is the same in Spanish (my first language). We use CUAL which would be the translation of QUEL. I think in English coul be translated like “which one”.
Quel est ton nom?
Cual es tu nombre?
“Which one” is your name?
Quel est ton sport prefere?
Cual es tu deporte favorito?
“Which one” is your favorite sport?
Maybe it doesn’t make much sense in English, but I guess that it’s the translation. What do you think?
Azul, it does make sense!!! Thanks for providing the Spanish equivalent. it’s true that both languages are quite similar when it comes to grammatical concepts like Quel/Cual. Thanks for visiting the site
you knowwhat mate…you are just AMAZING!!!!))))))))
the only time i can study french is while im stuck in traffic or when im waiting for my car to warm up and this is helping me a lot along with the audio files i have found on youtube which directed me to this site. i dont know how much progress i can make with 15 minutes a day … thank ou very much for the step by step guides
Professor,
Thanks so much for providing all these methods of learning French! It’s really very well planned out and the youtube videos are simple to follow and very clear.
Tambien te quiero dar las gracias por añadir las formas del pronombre en español. Es mucho mas fácil seguir las lecciónes así, podiendo ver las semejanzas entre el español y el francés. Si lo pudieras hacer tambien en italiano eso seria perfecto
Infine, grazie mille per questo lavoro. Siamo tutti fortunati di averti come professore!
(I thought I would write you a note in English, Spanish, and Italian since I, like you, speak them all. Hopefully soon I will be able to write to you in French as well!)
thank you so much Professor!You’re so generous and I really appreciate your work!You’ll always be my teacher.
Dear professor,
there is something wrong with some of the lessons available for download, since my Adobe PDF reader always indicates that it is unable to read and open them and I always get a blank page. This error occurs with the following lessons:
W1l2, w4l2, w6l1, w7l1, w7l2, w8l2, w10l1, w10l2, w13, w16, w17, w18, w19, w20, w22, w24
Maybe it has something to do with my PDF reader, but still I am begging you to investigate and to either send me the correct files on my e-mail or to post them here and just notify me so that I can download them.
Thank you in advance for your help on this matter.

Bonjour Davor,
) — I will send them to your email registered in my database.
I just looked at all the files you've mentioned. I clicked on them individually, and they seem to work just fine. Yes, I will be more than happy to send you all these files manually, but would you first try to install a fresh Adobe Reader ( http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and if it doesn't work — (well, you're in serious trouble, then
This is the first time this problem has been mentioned so far, but I will double-check. Thanks much.
P.S. Would you please tell me which Operating System and browser you're using to access these files, just in case?
A plus!
Herman

Herman

A plus tard!!!
Moi, également, Alucard, je suis très heureux de TE revoir
A plus!
Herman
Je vous remercie beaucoup monsieur frenchtastic
Bonjour Profe,
I keep trying to download the lessons and exercises and the site won't allow, even after signing in. it keeps bringing me back to the sign-in page (even though I repeatedly do it!)
What is going on?
Kristy, Sorry to hear you're encountering some problems with the downloads. I can't tell you for certain what is causing this, but I just looked at the download log file in my Control Panel, and I couldn't see any apparent problem so far. But before i look any further, could you tell me which files you'd like to download ? I'll send them to you manually. Contact me at "prof_frenchtastic [@] yahoo.fr" and I'll make sure to email you the files . (please, remove the quotes from the email address and reformat it as needed. Just trying to avoid spammers)
Herman
Bonjour Prof,
Thanks for the offer, but it seems to not work for ANY lesson I click on, so unless you plan on sending me all of the lessons, it doesn't seem too logical. I can't think of what could be going wrong. I have another wordpress profile and I don't seem to have problems signing into that one, I am not sure why this site asks me to sign in over and over, and why just recently (this month) it is causing problems. I'll try some things and see if something changes. If nothing changes, maybe I will email you and ask for all of the lessons!
Merci.
It seems to be a problem with the automatic sign in through other sites (google, facebook, etc), but if I go the long way around it works. Thanks anyways!
Bonsoir Kristy, please contact me as soon as you can at this address: prof_moderator [at] frenchtasticpeople.com (please reformat email as needed ).
I would like to try something here with your own login details but you need to contact me at the above address so we can try to fix this technical issue. Really sorry for the inconvenience. Hope to hear back from you soon.
