Why would any English speaking person want to pronounce a French brand the way a French speaking person would??

You sound Australian

It’s pronounce “wrongly”. Speak English properly!

I am French. I'm sorry but half of what you say is completely false. Or you live in the great French bourgeoisie completely stuck...

I've heard Dear in the UK, to mean "a bit expensive", we also use noggin, bugger all, piss up in brewery

Interesting video, but could you possibly talk a little slower? It's hard to keep up!

I come this video after reading class - 12 English book ch-1 The last lesson

Kia Ora Rosie. Am sure many NZders are eager to know their Maori ancestry or whakapapa. Is great to hear your zeal and passion to seek your taha Maori.👍👍👍

clever, and right.

Hi Rosie! Just discovered your channel and really loving it. I am French living abroad for many years and i totally agree with your "Suck at list" 😉. Regarding the lack of positive feedback, or constant critisizing atitude, this is also something that drives me crazy in French culture. However, i must say that for those who survive this type of negative reinforcment environment it does have two very usefull outcome in general: 1. It helps uncover bullshit or attractive but superficial ideas because those wont resist long the constant pounding of questionning that the criticising habit brings on. (Take the "pro-brexiter" arguments for instance). 2. It develops a very thick skin into those who overcome those critics. If your ideas can pass the french critics test, you can survive anywhere on the planet and you will never be surprised or discouraged anymore because you basically have heard and seen everything already. So of course for those who come from the "no judjmental / positive feedback" background, the contrast is very harsh right? But for us, confronting other ways of thinking is relatively easy. Even if, as you say, we may almost never admit our mistake ... = thats also a way of fighting the critics (its the art of rhetoric !). As France and NZ share the love of rugby, you can imagine this French habit as a rugby game! It takes a lot of fighting to bring your ideas to your opponent's side, but that's also what makes you strong ! However, i do agree it is not very forgiving or inclusive to people who are more sensitive or introvert, and thats something we need to improve on. Cheers! 😊

French people are the nicest people on earth.

I m French and I never brought baguette to a party, or received some from a guest, except if specifically specified.

I think many people in the States may just not know, but even the ones that do know the right pronunciation will just avoid it, because there will always be some slack American shite telling you how pretentious you are while butchering it. Shame really……what a beautiful language.

I’ve been concerned that you haven’t posted anything ever since you uploaded this traumatic experience in 2022.

If I ever went for a visit I would laugh at rudeness for entertainment. That’s gotta be the only way to enjoy it.

Les Français (cultives) sont pudiques et n etalent pas leur vie privée au premier venu. Religion, salaire.. c est PRIVÉ ! Ca tient de l education et des moeurs catholiques, la famille et les amis proches on partage ces sujets, pas avec les autres...

Doesn’t matter anglofones don’t care.

how pronounce vitamins brand

The name is in capitals because if you're last named MARTIN, it's not the first name Martin. Overwise it may be difficult to distinguish. It's an administrative precaution. Ex : Victor HUGO, Claude FRANÇOIS, Anouk AIMÉE, etc.

Everything is impossible

Were your FOREIGN documents apostilled in France by French authorities?! My UK birth certificated was apostilled in UK by British authorities.

4:28, we finally get started

Nice presentation. You missed a few of my favorite "fingernail on the blackboard" French mispronunciations: 1. coup de grâce - the "mercy blow" which finishes off an opponent. I usually hear “koo duh grah” from English speakers. The expression should be pronounced, roughly, "koo duh grahss", with a harsh terminal "s" sound, as in the British pronunciation of grass. “Grah” to the French ear sounds like gras which means “fat”. Maybe the mercy blow was delivered with a slab of bacon (just kidding.) 2. bouquet should be pronounced boo-KAY. We hear boh-kay. I guess English speakers confuse the vowel sound “bou” with “beau”, which does sound like “boh” 3. déjà vu is usually mispronounced “day-zhah voo”. The “voo” pronunciation sounds like “vous” to the French speaker. So it sort of means “already you” instead of what it actually means: “already seen”. Admittdly the French “u” sound is a bit tricky, but you would be better off to pronounce vu it as in English “view”. 4. The Swiss city Montreux gets mispronounced as if it were “Montreaux” (Mon-troh). Wrong. There’s a big difference between -eux (Sort of like “ER” without the R) and -eaux which is “OH” more or less, and incorrect here.

Omggggg blah blah just get to the point !!!!!! So much yapping in the start, annoying.

I was interested to see how a foreigner perceives France. One of the most intersting diverse countries in the world, with their distinct beautiful language, food, cities, people, music and culture country. But now all I see from you is negativity, shocks, dislikes.

I miss you on YT Rosie, I hope you're doing well! :)

6:29- if you're older

My gf speaks French, and I am about to learn it. She told me, that the French version of “shut the fuck/hell up” is “Tu ferme ta gueule”.. which directly translate to: “you’re fucking my throat” 😂😂😂

I love France and it's culture, but these are real horror stories. I rarely go to Paris and french people say they shouldn't be judge by the Parisiens.

Level 11: Bordel à cul de putain de vieille vache pourrie d'enculé de frais de merde...

Hey Rosie! Been a while since you did a video - did you give up on France? Would'n't blame you if you did. 🤣 Hope you're doing well.

Fuffufwaahhhhh, too much talk. Ayayay oolala, merde du vache...

So I'm accidentally French already in my dining habits, without being actually French. Perfect. I fit right in

You missed an obvious line after fanny pack.. Fanny = ... Also, up North we don't wag school, we bunk (or at least we used to...)

bruh birth certificates show the place and time you were born no more no less, how the hell does an "up to date" one be any different than one that came out when you were born except for the paper quality

you literally said they are bad at admitting they are wrong in the negatives video, this automatically means they are bad debators

Many of her complaints are not Paris-specific, merely traits of big cities, so they shouldn't be on a list of Paris problems. I've been to Paris over 50 times so I know whereof I speak. I have comments about four of the items on her list. 1. She's absolutely right about customer service. 2. Public urination is somewhat worse in Paris than the U.S; but it is a problem here as well so scratch this about Paris. 3. Fat shaming is sadly lacking in the U.S. so I consider this a plus for Paris, except that it is a little extreme. We have the other extreme in the U.S. where even grossly obese women tout their obesity as normal, even a happy state of existence, claiming that men who spurn them are somehow guilty of "fatphobia" and moderate obesity is accepted as normal way too readily. Many women have just ceased taking care of themselves in their habits, their dress and their weight and they should be shunned. 4. Trinkets for sale, pickpocketing and beggar-racketing exist in the U.S. also, but are worse in Paris. I have two points to say here. First, organized crime begging is very common. Women with a crying baby will approach Americans for money, trying to play on their heart-strings. However, you can be sure that the women do things to make their babies cry and you can be sure that after you have given her some money, some man will get most of it. The social safety net in France is so much better than in the U.S. that there is virtually no need to give them anything. The second point about these Paris-specific problems is that they are just that; Paris-specific. They don't exist in Lyon or most medium to large sized cities in France whereas they do all over the U.S. Many of the Paris problems can be avoided by resident and tourists by just staying away from the high tourist areas, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Sacré Coeur, the Louvre, Bateaux Mouches. There are so many extraordinary areas in Paris that are not on the tourist circuit such that you can go for weeks without noticing the tourists or the low-lifes.

came to learn french ettiquette, ended up learning anglophones have no common sense

Jai adoré ! Merci 😘

Do French guys (or French people in general) take more than a month to reply back to texts? Asking cuz I know a French guy who is doing this now that he moved back to France. He didn’t do that in the USA. I understand that French men are blunt and to the point if he’s interested in a girl, he won’t sugar coat things thou. Also is it true that French guys go with the flow and aren’t planners? Im frustrated I want to visit a guy in France but he’s taking his time telling me where he’s gonna work and when he will be free. I gotta plan cuz I come from far away, I’d be more relaxed if I lived in France

I didn't grow up in France, but I did get a lot of this after my first baby was born and developing hypothyroidism. I gained a lot of weight and haven't been able to loose it. I was mostly raised by my (French-German) grandparents and they came from an era where there was food scarcity, and uncertainty. So a little bit had to go a long way for a family of 6. If you gained even a little weight it was looked at, and then commented upon. As a child, I remembering asking my mother if I could have another slice of pizza at a birthday party (I had only eaten 1) and she said no it was too fattening. It was normal growing up so I didn't hink about it until after my baby where I'd get comments like: ' It doesn't shake like that" hahah, then I became very self-conscious and started wearing really big clothes to hide my weight (I still do and now I get frumpy comments) It's a no win I feel like.

Well you sound like someone from down under mate.

I call BS. No American wants to pay more for health care and education. They are rude to Americans because they think they're just better than Americans...and everyone else.

Uggh i can't stand the french and their heartless attitudes

You’re a major reason I’m learning French. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️

ProNOUNciation??

Video actually start at 4:11

I found the women serving in the Pharmacies absolutely terrifying…..even for wanting to buy a lip salve

Finally an honest video about this ❤

Very helpful, thanks.
