For its 25,000 subscribers, ohlalaispeakfrench is a fun way to pick up some French language skills without feeling like you are being forced into a lesson. The channel is hosted by two French sisters who have moved to Los Angeles, and is aimed at those who are beginners in French. Each video is a short, manageable lesson that will teach you some words and phrases you might not necessarily find in more formal channels. Give French exclamations a watch and you’ll see what we mean! As well as this there are great, easy to understand lessons on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, though what we really enjoy are the videos on French slang. Give this video on nice slang a watch as a taster. Ohlalaispeakfrench is a lot of fun to learn French with, why not tune in?
