West coast definitely has a healthier food culture than New England (the rest of East Coast too but their food is tastier!) and Middle America that are accustomed to hot dog stands, microwaveable meals, and the typical rush and importance for their profession that doesn't allow for much gourmet. To their own fault because you could quickly make a healthy meal and take it to work to eat then. Soups, rice, and meats if there's a microwave at work. And soups can be eaten cold if there's no meat in it.

I think what annoys me even more than the stereotypes is her attitude, and how we're supposed to think it's cute that she can't/won't adapt and will instead make an entire society and culture that she's chosen to live in bend to her ways. She just comes across as really entitled.

For me, it was actually not annoying but rather funny, because it was exactly my experience of dealing with Americans in my professional life. They come to countries that have culture and history much older than theirs, and act as if they must educate us how to be civilized and progressive. I know some Americans who moved abroad and didn't even bother to learn the language after 10+ years. They just surround themselves with people who speak English and complain about the locals that don't.

That’s what annoys me about Emily. Basically thinks the world is like America and if it isn’t, it’s weird and doesn’t try to adapt. Like the way she acts with her coworkers. She can still stand her ground on things and the french will respect her on that, but she tries to force her ways on them without trying to see how the environment is first hand, adapt to it and then after finally getting to know them will she be able to bring up her ideas.

I think the strangest stereotype is the mistress thing. Everywhere in high end jobs in big cities yes there are affairs etc. The programme acts like this is only a French thing and massively exaggerates this. The Americans always portray London in a similarly falsely optimistic way. Would have liked to have seen Emily adapt more and even a 30 second montage of her getting a grasp of French and the people warming to the fact she's starting to integrate.

@onacanilao 3 года назад

True. The company I worked for years ago had executives having affairs. We had french executives too, but most high level executives regardless if they were french or not were doing naughty things with their non spouses during their out of office events. Come to think of it, most of the companies I worked for my coworkers were havin secret trysts behind the scenes. Financial, medical industries especially. Most of these affairs sort of come out during large business trips and conventions. I work with the marketing department and we gossip about these things because we always catch them sneaking into their lovers´ rooms.

@@andremendozaf yes, I also think that a difference between the American and French stereotype is that it’s an show from USA. It’s not problematic to point fun at your own culture and have a unlikable stereotype. But the biggest problem is that they portray another culture as something bad, through characters actually dissing French people and the fact that France has to change for the American culture

On Netflix, if you turn the audio onto French, Emily speaks french fluently, but with a really strong american accent. I had never heard anything quite like it before. Instead of apologising for her lack of French, (as she is forced to do a lot in the show) she apologises for her 'accent'--which allows for another (largely false) stereotype to be covered: that the french can't bear french in foreign accents.

@Street_French 3 года назад

@julie-rw7xu 3 года назад

I would have liked more French too, but that probably doesn't suit most people as Maia said. That's not typical though either, to be semi-fluent within a couple of months without knowing any French before she got there. When I was younger I did assume that I would just move to Europe and learn the languages. I have finally put in the work required and it is possible but it usually requires me insisting on speaking French (for example) and I am far from fluent. Did you learn some French before you studied abroad?

@gPuma 3 года назад

I read somewhere that TV shows usually and purposely have actors speak more English than foreign languages, because North Americans don’t like reading subtitles.

I am french, and i can confirm everything she said. We are direct and blunt, we love debates, we correct foreigners. I even posted several detailed post regarding french grammar on RU-vid to help a vietnamese who was learning. When Emily Said: "Une pain au chocolat", we would correct her simply by repeating what she said, this way: "Ah, un pain au chocolat, bien sûr, un instant je vous prie" >>> "Ah, un pain au chocolat, sure, one minute please". Fun trivia note: there is a very long conflict in France about the "pain au chocolat". These damn parisians call it "Pain au chocolat" when everyone who makes sense know very well that it is "Chocolatine". Lol, countless disputes over countless decades. The good thing, if you are ok about being corrected, is that french people definitely will bother to do it and spare time to help you. But it looks to me that foreigners consider this is arrogance oO... Well...

I just found you 2 two today! Really enjoyed hearing your comments about the accuracy and inaccuracies of the show. I personally have enjoyed watching it, so I can see Paris for one, again. I was able to spend 10 wonderful days there in 2006 and visit so many sites. It was great to recognize some of the places on the show. The stereotypes of the French being rude may be more for Americans who don't even try to speak any French or denigrate the people. I found them all so kind to me for even trying to speak their language, and I was so grateful when they knew English well enough to fill in the blanks when my limited French was not enough. I did also like the "predicament" she got herself into with the chef and girlfriend. Loved how they incorporated the visit to Camille's family winery and all of Emily's faux pas she made. The show gets to make fun of her quite a bit too. And I also think they were trying to incorporate how no matter the culture we grow up in, we all have things we can teach and learn from each other. I also just binge watched the whole 2nd season of Emily in Paris on my day off, and got to see some of the characters grow and change. They have to create drama for the characters to overcome anyway, so it doesn't surprise me stereotypes are represented. And we can sit on the sidelines and watch them make their mistakes so we don't have to! I hope they make a 3rd season. I will definitely watch it! And I am planning a return trip to Paris again for this September. I will have to watch more of your videos to help me prepare! Thank you! Merci!

As a foreigner living in Paris for the last 9 years, and as someone that watched the show, I can say that a lot of the things represented in the show unfortenately are true, but some are also exagerated or just a stereotype... The chambre the bonne is just so untrue for instance!!!! However, the thing of being rude when someone speaks "loud" in a public place that can happen: once I was in the bus speaking with 2 friends (not french) and a french girl next to us, just shout at us "shut up! you are too loud and on top you are speaking a foreigner language" like that, really rude and limit xenophobic!!! Also, altough I speak fluently french with a foreigner accent, french still correct me my accent. I don't think they understand that an accent doesn't mean that a person speaks incorrectly a language, and that it's difficul to loose it... Those are just examples of things that they can totally happen in Paris, but not necessarily in France. France is not Paris, and Paris is just a beautiful city but with a specific social dynamic. I do love this city tough!

I love it because the outdoor scenes remind me of when I was in Paris. I miss that time. I find myself looking at the background to see if I had visited that location. I want to go back and live there for a while but can only see that happening if I learn more French. It was such a struggle only having first level French, even, though I met so many nice/kind French people. I also love the show because of their costumer, Patricia Fields. She is an amazing talent and really tells the deeper story of each character through their clothes and accessories. As someone who studied fashion, watching Patricia Fields’s work is such a treat. It’s like a secret behind the scenes look at the story and its characters; almost like another language between us fashion and costume insiders. I also hate that every man she comes across is portrayed as a horny French man. When I was there, I’ve never seen so much flirting or sexual innuendos. Yes, there were quite a bit of handsome men everywhere but they weren’t flirting with every girl. 🙄

You guys do know that not everyone has the same way of thinking/analyzing as you, right? I personally struggle in catching sarcasm, unless it's exaggerated by a lot. Neurodivergent people could also easily misunderstand things implied or shown in this series. If they wanted to show stereotypes, they had to make it more clear because IMO, "Emily In Paris" was just full of stupidity, inaccuracies and cringe worthy moments. They even managed to make it kind of racist towards Chinese people, somehow.

I actually watched for the scenery and the fashions. I have been traveling to the South of France for 20 years, stopping for a few days in Paris on occasion. Not taking the show all that serious. Just for fun and to get away from being quarantined and this nasty American election cycle.

I adore you guys! I watched "Emily in Paris" solely because I needed to feel like I traveled somewhere during this pandemic. The acting in this show is a bit lame for me as I prefer KDramas (Korean Dramas). Netflix has a few good ones. Anyways. I am originally from Germany and used to live in the South of France. I thought the French people were lovely and direct. I think that the show portrayed the American Emily however exactly as how I encountered Americans. Salut!! 😁

Das ist shade, if you only see the worst in a culture. Sure in every culture there are things to laugh about, but to say das ist alles, dann dass is nicht so gut.

I really enjoyed this video. I watched Emily in Paris. It was entertaining. I did see some of the usual stereotypes in the series. It is 2020 can’t we be more accurate. Would be nice for if you both we give your thoughts are the other episodes as well. Thank you for going to the actual location of the apartment.

After watching the first episode, I thought it was okay but I think a better Franglish show on Netflix is definitely The Eddy. Gives a more realistic and fresh perspective of life in Paris.

@sarahg4115 3 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion! Have added The Eddy to my watchlist!

@Januarymay1127 3 года назад

I watched the Eddy and enjoyed it.

Love the channel, and your comments too are very real and honest. I recall a women, visiting like me, who wasn’t American or French. She thought Paris would be cleaner. I hadn’t thought about about until I looked around and was warned to about the dog poo. Then in St Antoine neighborhood over by Bastille? they run the clean water through the channel in the middle of the little side street to clean what shops have swept into the center. We had to pull a women out of the way with her suitcase because she had no idea the water was behind her and poo in front!! Shopkeepers were running after her yelling in French and I knew she had no clue. It was a funny French moment I won’t forget.

This was really interesting, thanks! I'd love more recommendations for French shows or podcasts. I've followed some Instagram accounts based on your recs, which has helped me expand my everyday French.
