Okay, 11 months out but I’m sharing this: 3 years ago my wife and I were traveling through Brittany and Normandy. At a small rural museum the cashier asked, as usual, “D’ou êtes-vous?” I respond “Les États-Unis”. He perks up, and asks us (with a smile on his face and in English) “What state?” We tell him Pennsylvania, and he asks back “Ooh... Eagles or Steelers?” The fact that this guy knew the US well enough to know the football teams in my state blew my mind! And I also will never forget the older gentleman working in a museum in Normandy who told us, with a very serious expression on his face, “America is a great nation” when we said we were from the US. The French, on average, are very kind people, and I let all of my students know this.
@@enlilw-l2 no problem. Was just talking to a young woman yesterday in Wilkes-Barre who made a comment that the French were rude. I asked her “ Where in France have you been?” She replied Paris. So I told her “Okay, first you need to get out of Paris. It’s a big city, the people are highly strung, just like any big city. I’ve only had one person be rude to me in France, and that was in Paris.” I didn’t share what the situation was (wife and I strolling down the Champs Elysees for our first time, after a bottle of Riesling and eaux-de-vie with dinner at an Alsatian restaurant, a little tipsy waiting for the light to change. And it changed, we didn’t move immediately and the guy behind us yelled “Allons!” So we were sort of in the wrong.). Regardless, human beings are the same wherever I’ve been. Decent people and jerks, with the decent always in the majority. It’s just that the jerks make a bigger impression.

It doesn't even have to be NFL. It could also be college football.
This video is harmless fun yet automatically generates hostility towards France and its citizens. It's very bizarre how foreigners enjoy insulting us every opportunity they get.
As a french native speaker, we do not like our accent because it's like if you don't try to be understandable for the other. I come from Belgium and instead of France we do insist about accents. It's a really important thing. For exemple: the french speaker doesn't pronounce the letter h. So, when he wants to say "I'm hungry" it would sound like "I'm angry" for the english speaker. That's one of the reason why we don't like this accent we have...
Bérénice Desquesnes you* don’t like your accent, not « we ». As a french native speaker, I don’t pronounce the letter h indeed, but I do when I speak English and I try my best to pronounce correctly, but I’ll still have my french accent. It is really hard not to have an accent when you speak a foreign language, almost everybody have one, no matter where they come from, and it has nothing to do with making an effort or not 🤷🏼♀️
Although being french, I know far more about the US than most of the interviewed people, despite never been there. And most americans know nothing about other countries...
I'm north american and still didn't know this stuff 🤷♀️ I would love to learn more about France though.. all Americans ever talk about is Paris but it's the worst place
Je suis désolé pour mon mauvais français, mais je vais essayer. Je suis américain et je parle plusieurs langues, mais le français n'est pas mon meilleur ... Je préfère l'italien, l'espagnol et l'hébreu. Le français n'est pas aussi populaire ici aux États-Unis qu'il y a de nombreuses années. Les Américains apprennent généralement l'espagnol le plus. Mais personnellement, j'aime le plus l'anglais. Cela prend de nombreuses années pour vraiment maîtriser l'anglais ... c'est très difficile avec beaucoup de règles ... mais j'adore ça. Je suis curieux de savoir pourquoi il y a tant de jalousie entre les Français et les États-Unis? Nous sommes vos amis depuis tant d'années, mais il semble y avoir une certaine animosité. Pourquoi? Encore une fois, désolé pour mon mauvais français ...
John Newmark • Well, it’s complicated… It’s true that France and US were allies most of their history but they’re was many diplomatic tension between the two countries as well. The first time France and the US had big diplomatic tension was the Quasi-War (1798-1800) fought between the French and the American navy, that’s the only war in History were US and France were ennemy. Then in more recent History, back in 2003, France refused to follow the US at the Iraq War, then followed a huge american propaganda against France, the american far right (such as Fox News tv show) created myth against the french people notably that France during WWII was coward and lost to the Germans in 1940 without fighting (a totally innacurate historical statment) but most Americans believe it’s true and still today sptit on the grave of the 90,000 french soldiers who died during the german invasion of France in 1940.
John Newmark Bonjour, les Français n'ont jamais eu d'animosité particulière envers les Américains. En réalité c'est même plutôt le contraire, mais je dirais que depuis les années 2000 la relation entre nos deux peuples a changé à la suite du constant French bashing dont faisaient et font toujours preuve nos "amis" outre-atlantique. Je trouve cela assez triste, d'autant plus qu'il n'y a jamais eu un tel bashing en France contre nos alliés. Donc en définitive, je pense que l'attitude des Français est devenue plus défensive ces dernières années en réponse aux commentaires désobligeants à notre égard dans les médias et le cinema américain. Je serais curieuse d'entendre votre avis sur la question !
in France there isn't: Zaxby's, texes roadhouse, raisn cains, Freddy's, Chick-fil-a, walmart, target, tjmax, and lots more what's in France that we don't have:carrfour, Hippopatomus, and best of all, TOYS R US ( but it's now called Pick Wik Toys so bad name france)
They're exposed to our country via pop culture way more than vice versa why does this shock you? Do you think they know much about countries with way less pop culture influence like Norway or Sweden?
French speaker here, we mostly use the term "Amerindiens" (America+Indians) to refer to the Natives American, but it is true that during our childhoods, we were mostly taught about the indians in America. As Rose say, "Native" is not used that commonly. It is though, but not that often.
I'm an American who teaches English in France and most students use "Indians". I try my best to get them to stop doing it though. They also like to say "Afro-American" for African-American. lol.
French people know more about American cities than Americans ever will know about french cities and places other than Paris.
LoFi OS You could say the same about almost every European. We educate all our citizens here.

To anyone from / living outside of America. I am an American who would love to have a discussion with someone and their views about how the world or their country views America. I would also love to hear about your home / current country you are living in. I am a person who just wants to find out more about the world. I cannot afford to travel as much as I would like to and I would like to hear from a first hand source rather than just reading articles on the internet. I believe the more I learn, the more I can expand my mind. If you are interested about informing me about your culture, or would like my opinion on questions about the USA, please feel free to start a conversation with me. @/dont hate, educate
C'est une belle idée de vouloir voyager par l'échange de points de vues.

Merci pour ton intérêt. Pour commencer, quelle est votre vision globale de la France ? Quelle est votre chose préférée et celle que vous aimez le moins en France ?
@@seonghong784 le français a un incroyable talent et cela est vrai a tous les niveaux sauf qu 'on ne peut pas toujours en dire autant pour nos dirigeants !
Par exemple, actuellement, le gouvernement veut faire passer par la loi la retraite de 64 ans à62 ans alors que la majorité des français ne veulent pas de ce changement résultat, c'est le blocage du pays ce jeudi avec une grève générale a la demande de tous les syndicats!
@@marsjupiter8336
Si je devais visiter la France, y a-t-il des endroits que vous recommanderiez de voir ? Peut-être une recommandation de quelque chose que l'on ne trouverait pas dans un livre de tourisme ?
@@seonghong784 allez au pays basque , côté français et coté espagnol ; franchement c'a vaut le coup !
Cette région est si belle de plus, vous avez dans un rayon de 50 km l'Espagne, la France, la mer , la montagne et bien sûr les Basques : un peuple très accueillant et chaleureux.bien évidemment, il faut y aller l'été pour pouvoir admirer pleinement les belles couleurs et les beaux paysages

That French woman's got it, hasn't she? She's got that thing French women have. Emotional chic.
@ZaitoNet I assume you're questioning the phrase 'emotional chic.' It's just an example of using English outside the box - extending the usual limited definition into wider areas which seem appropriate in the circumstances. I could have said that she has the typical Gallic personality ascribed to French women by those of us who are not French, but it would have been too vague.
@JJBushfan then please can u describe a bit more precisely what I referring about ? I mean as a French man, I never heard of typical perosnnalities French could have according to foreigners. It seems interesting.
@@graueliot9327 Too big a subject for a mere TH-cam comment, but a Google search of 'French characteristics' returns quite a few results.
@ZaitoNet Your English is impeccable.

I’ve lived in the United States my entire life and I can’t name a single football team 😂
You should be ashamed. The NFL is a pillar of American society and culture. Not paying attention to it is anti-patriotic and shamefully unamerican
@@bobbyjoe1111 shut up dude
@@hattrickmotorsport5728 Cause it's true...
@@hattrickmotorsport5728 Unfortunately it is. I don't even watch it, and have no interest in it and I could still name at least 10 teams off the top of my head. Walk into basically any grocery store in a major city here in the US and you will find purchasable apparel, memorabilia, coffee mugs, other collectables, etc. for what ever the biggest team is in the area. It doesn't even have to be NFL. It could also be college football.
So you live under a rock or just dumb? I'm a foreigner who's not even into sports but I knew football teams my first month living in America.
I'm American and I don't know what March Madness is lmao. I'll look it up now

French people are more educated about America than Americans are about America. Lol
French women always look so elegant

@chingis Khan Pain in the ass in what way ?
I love the accent
🤣 really ? 😂
As a french native speaker, we do not like our accent because it's like if you don't try to be understandable for the other. I come from Belgium and instead of France we do insist about accents. It's a really important thing. For exemple: the french speaker doesn't pronounce the letter h. So, when he wants to say "I'm hungry" it would sound like "I'm angry" for the english speaker. That's one of the reason why we don't like this accent we have...
Thank you ☺
Bérénice Desquesnes you* don’t like your accent, not « we ». As a french native speaker, I don’t pronounce the letter h indeed, but I do when I speak English and I try my best to pronounce correctly, but I’ll still have my french accent. It is really hard not to have an accent when you speak a foreign language, almost everybody have one, no matter where they come from, and it has nothing to do with making an effort or not 🤷🏼♀️
@@Chanaïs143 étant étudiant en linguistique, je n'aurais pas dit mieux :)

Although being french, I know far more about the US than most of the interviewed people, despite never been there. And most americans know nothing about other countries...
@Phillip Aubin
Just do a quick google search about average geography knowledge, and you'll find out that americans rank with the poorest...
Phillip Aubin bruh i’m american and I totally agree with him US is a retarded country 🗿
March Madness? Donald Trump in March killed me.
French people are an interesting case study.
I'm north american and still didn't know this stuff 🤷♀️
I would love to learn more about France though.. all Americans ever talk about is Paris but it's the worst place

Je suis désolé pour mon mauvais français, mais je vais essayer. Je suis américain et je parle plusieurs langues, mais le français n'est pas mon meilleur ... Je préfère l'italien, l'espagnol et l'hébreu. Le français n'est pas aussi populaire ici aux États-Unis qu'il y a de nombreuses années. Les Américains apprennent généralement l'espagnol le plus.
Mais personnellement, j'aime le plus l'anglais. Cela prend de nombreuses années pour vraiment maîtriser l'anglais ... c'est très difficile avec beaucoup de règles ... mais j'adore ça. Je suis curieux de savoir pourquoi il y a tant de jalousie entre les Français et les États-Unis? Nous sommes vos amis depuis tant d'années, mais il semble y avoir une certaine animosité. Pourquoi? Encore une fois, désolé pour mon mauvais français ...
John Newmark • Well, it’s complicated… It’s true that France and US were allies most of their history but they’re was many diplomatic tension between the two countries as well. The first time France and the US had big diplomatic tension was the Quasi-War (1798-1800) fought between the French and the American navy, that’s the only war in History were US and France were ennemy. Then in more recent History, back in 2003, France refused to follow the US at the Iraq War, then followed a huge american propaganda against France, the american far right (such as Fox News tv show) created myth against the french people notably that France during WWII was coward and lost to the Germans in 1940 without fighting (a totally innacurate historical statment) but most Americans believe it’s true and still today sptit on the grave of the 90,000 french soldiers who died during the german invasion of France in 1940.
John Newmark Bonjour, les Français n'ont jamais eu d'animosité particulière envers les Américains. En réalité c'est même plutôt le contraire, mais je dirais que depuis les années 2000 la relation entre nos deux peuples a changé à la suite du constant French bashing dont faisaient et font toujours preuve nos "amis" outre-atlantique. Je trouve cela assez triste, d'autant plus qu'il n'y a jamais eu un tel bashing en France contre nos alliés. Donc en définitive, je pense que l'attitude des Français est devenue plus défensive ces dernières années en réponse aux commentaires désobligeants à notre égard dans les médias et le cinema américain. Je serais curieuse d'entendre votre avis sur la question !
in France there isn't: Zaxby's, texes roadhouse, raisn cains, Freddy's, Chick-fil-a, walmart, target, tjmax, and lots more
what's in France that we don't have:carrfour, Hippopatomus, and best of all, TOYS R US ( but it's now called Pick Wik Toys so bad name france)

Kinda sad that us Americans barely know anything about other countries other than the basic stuff while French ppl even know a few of our states
They're exposed to our country via pop culture way more than vice versa why does this shock you?
Do you think they know much about countries with way less pop culture influence like Norway or Sweden?
@@thebatmanwhoposts9600 of course lol
0:17 He wasn't talking about the geography
They corrected the man saying Indians with Native Americans. How cringy can you be
Because we also call the Native Americans the Americans Indians or the Indigenous Americans. There are many different terms.
Because "native" isn't used at all in french, i try to use it but people wont understand me :/
French speaker here, we mostly use the term "Amerindiens" (America+Indians) to refer to the Natives American, but it is true that during our childhoods, we were mostly taught about the indians in America. As Rose say, "Native" is not used that commonly. It is though, but not that often.
I'm an American who teaches English in France and most students use "Indians". I try my best to get them to stop doing it though. They also like to say "Afro-American" for African-American. lol.
Them: THE U.S. HAS SO MUCH ICE
