When I nannied near Paris for two little girls, I was so taken by their intelligence and genuine intrigue about many different, rather deep, subjects; and they were only in maternelle! I noticed the same enthusiasm for knowledge in their friends. I was very inspired to say the least.

@aidabullah1040 2 года назад

I’m so much surprised too , my kids are in primary grade but what they are learning is High school subjects and the way they do mathematics is what I did when I was in High School. They have so much knowledge even more than I do.

When you've experienced French administration you either don't survive or you end up scarred for life

@MrFoxbogardus 3 года назад

Wrong! When you've experienced french administration, you can survive everywhere (including russian administration). Actually, according to different studies, fench students abroad (Ireland, England, New zealand...) are more confortable with filling papers, procedures.... Even french entrepreneurs leave France because it's easier creating your small company. You also pay less taxes.... Even, getting your driving licence is easier in other european countries for example.... It's just a few examples.... Peace from lockdowned france

In general Rosie, since watching your awesome videos, I've realised that my personality has always been French and I just didn't know. So, I have ALWAYS appreciated, great food and I favour home cooked food. As far as I am concerned, no restaurant out there can cook a steak better than I can at home. I have always liked, quiet and non - forceful social interaction, dressing well, knowing and reading about many different topics. I have always had strong opinions and have learned that in NZ, having a strong opinion equates to being obnoxious or "up myself" lol. I have always had an interest in art, theatre and so on, you get the point. So, I have never been anywhere near France, but your videos have shown me that I could possibly fit it well. Take care Rosie!

@cherls15 3 года назад

@@NotEvenFrenchThank you for your reply! Yes, I'm sure. Not too sure if I could cope with women telling me what I should be having for dessert but in general, it sounds like a bucket list country for me. Also, I was thinking about the anglicising of other languages. I am originally from South Africa and came to NZ in my younger teen years. As a result, I learned Maori words properly and with enthusiasm. I find that sadly, I can get mocked here as well for saying Taupo like " tow- po" or in general, anytime I know how a word should be pronounced ( other Germanic languages) it's impossible to anglicise the language as it can feel a little like dismembering😅

@SWBGTOC 3 года назад

Internet is funny, I'm French and don't really see myself into any of these kind of videos except the love for debate and giving my opinion in general. On the other side, when I watch videos about Japanese culture and all these little everyday life quirks, I feel like my "personality" is a lot more Japanese. Or at least like it's described. But as we say we never feel as French (or whatever our nationality is) as when we go to another country, so I'll see, one day.

@jmb1101 3 года назад

I spent 6 weeks in Paris when I was 10 years old and went a few weeks to French school. I learned to cross my 7s and am still doing it 4 decades later (yes, I'm old and love your chaine!). I also learned to love wine there too - yes, they French people gave a child wine - and I still love it (my dad is of Italian descent so OK). I have also loved the French language since then - there is none like it. I am finally taking French lessons now and plan to move to France in the next few years at least for part of each year.

L'une de tes meilleures vidéos, Rosie. I laughed so hard ! Spot on every single time

@TiborVass 3 года назад

Spot on for pretty much everything, but as a Frenchman I’ve got to find the one point of disagreement: hearing French abroad is actually obnoxious for the French: it feels like when someone is wearing exactly the same clothes as you. We sometimes keep quiet and give our group that look that says “geez why do they have to be so many everywhere” which is consciously egoistic but we just laugh about it. I find this to be less true when you’re homesick, then you’re very happy to engage with the French. By the way I live in the US (San Francisco, a French colony at this point) and love watching your videos, they remind me of home in a good or funny (usually when bad) way. A touchy topic I find interesting is racism/discrimination and how different the French and American (Sorry I don’t know about NZ except I’ve heard about Maori culture integration into national culture) viewpoint is. A great video that sums up the intellectual debate is Trevor Noah’s response video to the French ambassador after the FIFA World Cup: the word “race” screams Hitler to the French and always found it weird on forms in the US. Anyway good luck with everything and hope you can come back to France at some point soon!

Was someone taking a nap in the room in this video?

They have to specialize so early, and there's no way in university to take anything but the classes in your major. But I'm coming from the mathematical perspective. I majored in both math and French in the U.S., which would never have been possible in France. (Though, I do get your point about how well read the French are.)

As usual, everything depends on the perspective. I am German and I was quite surprised to hear about a "broad education", especially with the examples Rosie gives. My french partner had one year of philosophy in school, never learned the slightest bit of art history in art lessons and geography and history are one subject during collège, which I find outrageous, among other things. Also, my french family has absolutely no knowledge about the natural world. I'd say what made me want to learn more is myself, not living in France. Also, I already had the same cooking and regular eating habits and the wish to eat healthy and reduce waste before I moved to France. So maybe that is more of a European aspect. But of course a lot of the other things are typically french :)

@hcm5467 3 года назад

To be fair, history and geography are closely tied, you would be hard press to understand geopolitical issues without knowing the history of the place. and you could be bafled by somme historiclal conflicts if you dont get the geography of the place, comercial roads, natural resources and so forth

@philv3941 3 года назад

Surprised to hear that : biology and sciences are learnt since school, history and geography very soon and till "lycee" ... but of course in the late years you can change to focus more on science than on culture. For the real interest put on those subjects, i guess it depends on the family. In the mean time i was not impressed by the culture of my german ex ( from saar) and her family. Mine was very concerned and put a pressure on a wide culture as i am doing now with my kids. I admit not all the french families i know are like that.

@NotEvenFrench, so I guess it's safe to say that based on French people's very regular eating patterns, the intermittent fasting phenomenon has not caught on there?

Okay the language outside your country thing, SO TRUE. I'm 100% French and when I was 18 we went to China with my classmates and while we were visiting we encountered another group of French students and both groups got so excited and we started talking to each other and stuff, proof that French people are just big kids lmao

I think you forgot one thing, when you're abroad, as soon as you hear about a new restaurant serving French food in your town, you just can't wait to go and try and even order a bottle of wine for more than 20 € that you know costs 4 times less. And whenever Lidl or some other supermarket is organizing a French week, you go and rummage and raid the cheese section to make some stock. And also you just can't have a meal without that French salted butter which you found at the supermarket because it definitely tastes better than any other local brand you tried.

Other than les bisous and the food thing, I think I've always been French even though I'm American.

I tick all of the signs mentioned. Unfortunately, where I live, people don’t appreciate these signs. People shame you for loving culture and art, wanting to learn more about general topics, saying you’re pretentious or haughty. People are attracted to buffets because quantity trumps quality (and nobody craves for bread). People are often quite rude and have no sense of politesse. Fashion is very ostentatious, logo heavy and it’s just a vehicle to show off. People also have this very fake optimism and and definitely disapprove of complaining. I’ve never felt comfortable where I live and have often been ostracized for just being me. There were just a completely different set of values. However, when I went to France, I felt quite at ease, and dare I say it, at home (helps that I know the language). I know living in France is not all roses, but I appreciate the French way of living and being.

I went to the Post Office to send a package and the reply was "No, you can't post that because your box is too small and the paperwork won't fit on it". And it wasn't a particularly small box! Lol. I had to take it home and re package it in a bigger box.

Ah, political arguments, we live for 'em. In France it's an unofficial rite of passage to participate in a street protest. You know you're a full-fledged French citizen when you've stared down the riot police at least once :D
