For those who are starting, as I have seen myself, the best way to learn the base is to keep listening ... even though you don't understand anything. I did that for 3 months, + I mixed with french native speakers, and in 3 months I was operational, starting from zero when I didn't know a single french word, not even the famous Bonjour.
I would suggest you guys to keep seeing french videos, whenever you can ... and here I'll be adding a few french videos for you to start seeing. They have nothing to do with learning the language probably, but these videos are there for you to just watching. _________________ Request | Rules Our photos | My photos

I thought of having a French songs and videos section . Its always nice to listen news and songs too to improve the language...Also to understand the song..i have few favorites in French.
Mostly i like jean jacque goldman”jacque brel,khaleds two songs and few of celine dieon AND Edith Piaf.She is really good and has sung many beautiful songs in 50-60s i guess.here are few links
Link
--MY FAVOURITE ONE...I sing sometimes at home... Jean jacque goldman
Link
--this one too ..nice..english and french together....--Jean jacque goldman
Link
-amazoing guitar and SOng..--Jean jacque goldman
I'm surprised by your choices but its quite good to think that indian people can love this sort of old songs too... You have a very open minded because its so far of indian music at least....
For my self by the fact when i was very little my dad has sing this song for me : Fais comme l'oiseau de Michel Fugain, of course i love this song and the meaning of it too....
Its a very good idea Naresh, if you want to practice languages by lyrics of songs, its ok, we'll work on too.Pupose me some lyrics and we'll try how we can help you to understand it and how you can translate it....
When i started listening Jean jacque and brel too i was amazed with the words which most of it i understood due to lyrics found from google...oldies are amazing as they are clear and with less music and powerful words....i started from Khaleds aicha aicha and loved it ....Yes i try to sing these French songs...although not good with the accent ...I like singing although not very good at it but keep trying...i sometimes sing jean petite que danser ,o clair de la lune ...its funny to sing but i try to understand the words in French.
I love one more French singer who is in Jail ,i guess and do not remember his name, due to charges of killing his own wife ..He used to take drugs too. he is a young chap and famous singers amoung youngesters.He sings like Niravana and other hard rock singers...he is good too....I am not sure if he was from Toulouse.
I've found this on youtube: a guy has posted something like 400 French songs, most of them with subtitles, so you can read the lyrics while listening to the song...

Hi all,
Waouw !!! its been a while since I've listened to songs in FRENCH !
But thanks to this topic, I can remember these old days ... when I used to be a teenager (ahahahahaha), the song JE TE DONNE by Goldman makes me think of Worlds Apart (ahahahaha ! I was found of this boys band ... I was young ... LOL)
Well, here's not the point ...
Hmmm ... what do you think about Daniel Balavoine's songs ?
For example
Aimer est plus fort que d'être aimé.
(woua !!! time flies so fast ... when I was in secondary school, we learnt this song and had to sing it ... lol)
Yeps, there is no better way of learning than listening to songs, or even watchin' movies in french ... it'll help a lot to improve your french. (Its how I learnt tamil ... watching a lot of tamil movies when I was 9 helped me a lot to improve my tamil which was ... hmm ... NO COMMENT lol well, to this day, its not perfect, but it could have been worse LOL)
I've seen that there are topics to learn french etc in this forum, its great !
I hope that one day, I'll also be able to help you
If you want to practice your french, you can come on RTT's forum to do so you'll be welcome
See ya,
Cinthy

This reply might be too late.
"Coup de Boule" (French for "headbutt")
This a funny little song, which was a huge hit in youtube after the last FIFA world cup. Some might have heard it.
