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.
Davor
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
Salut Herman!

RNF Alucard
Salut RNF. I'll take a look and let you know as soon as possible. Nice to see you again.
Herman
Alucard, I just fixed the problem. Weeks 10 and 13 are now correct. Happy download!
P.S. I can't believe it went unnoticed for more than a year. Thank you so much for notifying me.
Herman
Merci beaucoup et je suis trés heureux de tu revoir.
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.
hola profe vivo en Colombia estoy estudiando administración hotelera culmino ya este año y hace una semana empezamos con francés me gustaría aprender a un mas pero con respecto a la hoteleria y recepción
C’est manifique, merci bien
Great job Prof!! Thank you.
thank you so much for this- its great to learn a new language. tell me- where do i find the vocab section where i can learn new words?
Salut Sasha,
I have a section up there in the navigation bar called “Talking Dictionary”. It is far from being complete but you are sure to find some useful vocab organized by themes (animals, kitchen, fruits and veggies, food/drinks, etc). If there are any particular topic that interests you, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to help. Merci
I stumbled across your website by accident, and I am really glad that I did. I am jealous as I do not speak a word of French, so I feel like a fish out of water amongst you all. Im looking forward to speaking (or writing) as fluently as all of you soon
Thanks Prof for the amazing website. Can I also get a pen pal that will help me with the lessons- remember I am a complete novice here ?
Sasha,
I hope some member more advanced in French will find this request for study-friendship contact you. Have you thought about asking for a study buddy on my Facebook page (right-end side of webpage)? I remember seeing one person there also looking for a study partner. I hope to make a special page for such needs in the future. Bonne chance!
Thanks for all of your lesson Sir….
I came from Indonesia
could you please tell us a list of french popular love song or french popular old song…
or maybe french popular movie
so all of us can have some fun while learning french
Herman,
This is the best website for learning French. I have researched French language sites and several stop after only a few lessons. Thank you so very much for making the learning process fun and keep up the good work.
Coleman Stone
C’est très gentil à vous…. Merci beaucoup pour compréhension
Thank you so much!
you are the best teacher ever!
Salut prof!
i know how to read and write french, but i tend to have trouble making conversation with someone. i blank out and forget everything i know. Do you have any suggestions as in how to improve this? Thanks!
any plans for lessons beyond #24? the videos and lesson materials are fantastic! thanks for your generosity.
bonjour prof.
comment allez vous ?
bian sur !!!
tres bian
je suis zulfiqar ahmed
marci beaucoup
thank you for your help
Bonjour!
I’m new on this website, and I tryed to open the pdf files so I can study for an exam tomorrow and when I opened it I had to uncode it but the problem was I could’nt get it to uncode because there was no English option , which really upsets me. I don’t know what to do. I thought this site would actually help me , but without these files I can’t really do much. :/
Bonjour Zainab,
I am sorry you are experiencing such technical difficulties. I am, however, a little surprised to read about “encoding and decoding” PDF files in your messages. One reason I chose PDF files is exactly because I wanted my files to be readable on almost all platforms and PDF files are known to do just that. I will email email personally and see how we can resolve this issue. Take care!
Herman
thanks man u are a great tetcher
no, thank YOU for being a frenchtastic member
let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you in this learning journey!
can’t download week 13…
thanks for this site, it’s definitely very appreciated.
Sevde,Sorry I’m not sure what happened…which message do you see when clicking on the web link for week 13? I just tried with a temporary username and it worked okay. Please try logging in the site with your account info a second time and try to access week 13 and let me know what happens. Merci!
This site is most helpful. Will there be any more lessons beyond No. 24???
In theory, there should be.
In practice, however, it can be very hard to find some free time to devote to creating new lessons…but it is something that I always keep in mind for the future. Thanks for subscribing, and let me know if you need any help with the French materials on this site.
GREAT TEACHER !
