🇫🇷 Are you ready to take your French to the next level?
Join us as we reveal why you should think twice before saying “Je veux” and explore more polite and effective alternatives to sound more like a native speaker.
You’ll learn how to use phrases like “J’aimerais” and “Est-ce que je pourrais avoir… ?” to make your requests sound softer and more courteous. These subtle shifts will not only improve the politeness of your French but also help you build better connections with native speakers by showing that you care about their involvement in the conversation.
This video is perfect for intermediate French learners or anyone looking to refine their conversational skills. By adopting these phrases, you’ll sound more natural and have a better experience with French speakers.
So stop saying “je veux” and learn what to say instead with us in this video! 🙌🏼

Just say rather than say eight times that you will say
Love this much needed video lesson!
Oui,C'est vraiment La Politesse
On peut aussi ajouter… J'aimerais un sandwich… J'ai faim… ça a l'air très réel… Pas du tout touristique
Merci pour ce contenu !
Je propose aussi des petits podcasts en français facile, si ça t’intéresse 🗣🎧
It would be extremely helpful if you translated your words so we know what you are saying.
For example “Je voudrais. What does it mean? I had to look it up.
If would be better if you said, “Je veux means I want” which sound demanding. What you should say instead is Je voudrais which means I would like.”
You gave us a better way to say something but did not translate what it means.
Also, would you repeat what you are saying much more slowly so we can better hear the individual words. When you speak at normal speed it sounds beautiful, but it goes by so fast It is hard to understand what you are saying. Thank you.
Great and very useful lesson. It would have been even better if you included the English translation to the 8 excellent examples that you taught us. Thanks 🙏🏾
If you are learning french, saying je veux is not bad at all! I am born french speaking and saying je veux everywhere lol french is over complicated
Si quelqu’un me demande ” vous voulez du café ? ”, je peux répondre ” Oui, j’en veux, s’il vous plaît ”, n’est-ce pas ?
What about “Je xeux pas.” ??
quoi, « puis-je avoir » est trop formel ? 🎩
Est-ce qu'on peut dire "donnez moi" pour demander quelque chose?
wt If I Use Je veux … with s'il vous plait? still the same?
J’aimerais is a cool way to use conditionnel
J’ai envie de café sil vous plaît.
Est-ce-que je pourrais avoir un verre d’eau s’il te plais?
C'est vrai que le français est une langue riche et pleine de nuances 😊
Useful video but I prefer not to have the spoken English as it detracts from immersing oneself in the French language. Polite comment. Merci beaucoup.
Thanks to Samantha Brown (Passport To Europe), I always say, "Je voudrais…"
je dis habituellement plutôt j'aime bien
"Peux-je prendre" c'est le phrase j'utilise toujours ^^
Having the translations for the expressions would let your audience know not only what to say, but why to say it that way and what it means.
Love this! As a very beginning French speaker i would love English translation for the phrases you are saying to help remember and understand the phrases! Thank you! Merci Beaucoup. ❤
Bien video
"vous voulez un whisky ?" "Juste un doigt !" " Vous ne voulez pas un whisky avant ?"
je voudrais?
Do they not teach this anymore? I’m 65 and even my short exposure to French in high school taught me to use je voudrais.
Vous etes tout à fait charmante.😊 Ce que enseigner est absolument correct.
I would only use "I want" at an American fast-food chain. You need manners and better phrases anywhere else. The bilinguism is mostly why you might be that direct.
Il existe aussi les façons humoristiques de demander : "Je frétillerais d'aise si vous vouliez bien m'apporter un verre d'eau" par exemple.
Can I still sing Je Veux….???
In my view this is basically good advice for ordering at restaurants and coffee shops in the US as well, as in "I'd like a coffee" (Je voudrais….) or "I'll take the caesar salad" (je vais prendre…). "I want" sounds like you're a toddler.
I'll have, I'd like, it's the same in english, we don't say "I want". Now I could help you with pronouncing words that begin with H, and that would be; "I read every single one", not "I'm reading every… all languages are subtle, nothing easy about any language. Great job though, I much prefer this to the many people proffering popular and quite vulgar french to L2 learners. bises!
Really helpful, and wonderfully presented!
You've got a new subscriber in me
"Je peux avoir… ?" ou "Est-ce que je peux avoir… ?" are these polite and well received?
I want this, i want that. Spoken like a true… Tourist😀
I'm half french and because of that I grew up learning random phrases my maman would say. "Est-ce que je peux avoir" would be one of the many she made me use daily so when I started learning french properly I was a bit confused at first when they kept trying to push "je veux" or "je voudrais" when my whole life I had learnt otherwise, even my mamie would rarely say "je veux" or "je voudrais".
I live in Australia & “I want” is rude in English too 😊
My teachers always emphasized he voudrais so je veux never even occurred to me 😂😂😅
as I am lazy I say 'pourrais-je avoir s.v.p". Concernant "il me faudrait", utilisé dans l'Aude, never heard outside though, are you from the South or did I just miss the expression elsewhere?
