Hello everyone, please, could you tell me if you needed subtitles to understand or if I need to improve my English to be more understandable? Thank you for your answers.
It took a moment for me to adjust my American ears but then it was fine. I understood everything you said. Though I am accustomed to hearing English spoken in many accents. Some might find subtitles useful.
You are so humble to ask us! I am American and could easily understand you. Just one tip...you used present verb tenses where you meant to speak in the past. For example, "is" should be "was" in many places. Great video and so informative!
Thank you to all who donated so generously for this to happen. Thank you to all those working so hard to restore this beautiful church. Thank you and bless you.
And don't forget to donate for people in distress. Chose a local charity of your liking or whatever and give some money, too. This building got enough money from billionaires etc.
It is an amazing feat of engineering and masters at work. I can't wait to see it finished. Well done to all who have donated voluntary to this endeavour.
I like hearing updates about Notre Dame. It really lifts my heart to see how the entire country came together, for one of it's beautiful, ancient landmarks.
My family cried when we watched Notre Dame burning - was it really 4 years ago? It brings tears to my eyes to see it being restored so faithfully and lovingly. Much love from across the channel xx
I visited the Cathedral in summer of 1985. I was visiting my sister who was stationed in West Germany. (There was still two Germanies back then.) It was a fantastic experience and would recommend it for any American. This building has been around 500 years longer than America has. Best of luck at restoration. My heart sank when I heard about the 🔥 fire.
Commentaire formidable! Je ne suis pas catholique, mais chaque fois que je visite à Paris, je m’oblige à voir de nouveau le cathédrale de Notre Dame. Quelle inspiration! Mais j’adore aussi visiter au cathédrale d’Amiens, qui est un peu plus grand, et un peu plus éclairé. J’ai eu le coeur brisé quand Notre Dame a brulé, et je suis si content d’observer la restauration si méticuleuse. Je ne suis pas français, mais j’ai du avoir une vie passée comme un bon français. Depuis mon enfance, j’ai toujours eu beaucoup de place don mon coeur pour tout ce qui est français.
I would give anything to be able to come to Paris for the opening ceremony. I literally screamed when CNN showed the cathedral burning. It still moves and horrifies me to this day.
Well, that’s our imported “diversity” for you. It’s happening to churches all over europe, and for the same reason. Thousands of people die from it too, but you won’t hear that on CNN.
Thank you. Merci. I appreciate the time you took preparing this video. J'apprécie le temps que vous avez pris pour préparer cette vidéo. You can see the love the workers have for this building and the faith it represents. Vous pouvez voir l'amour que les travailleurs ont pour ce bâtiment et la foi qu'il représente.
Paris cathedral is certainly not the most beautiful French cathedral,in spite of beeing the most famous.I wonder what would have happened if Bourges cathedral had burned,or Amiens... They are less famous,but much nicer and have much more historical interests.
Thank you for your efforts. Deep inside I felt the love and dedication of the thousands of people who are working long and hard to bring back such work of art as is La Cathedrale Notre-Dame.
@@stephenperretti8847 I feel respect and gratitude for Jesus. As I do for Socrates who ALSO chose to die nearly 500 years before Jesus; or Thomas Moore who did the same thing a millennia and a half after Jesus; or Giordano Bruno; and even Martin Luther King who KNEW he was going to be killed but chose to stay the course anyway. Yes, I have faith that we will become a better Humanity, after all, and if we don't then it won't matter at all because there will not exist a Humanity to worry about.
As citizens of the United States of America, we should never forget that we wouldn’t have an independent country if it weren’t for France. Now is the time to join together to support France in their time of need. We look on with awe at the incredible effort to rebuild Notre Dame in the shadow of the upcoming 2024 Olympic games. I for one can’t wait to see their victory. Viva le France.❤
Incredible undertaking but I don’t believe it will be completed by 2024. My best wishes to those working toward the finishing of this historic project.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this very informative video. I especially enjoyed learning more about the history of the cathedral and the future plans for the area around it. When all is completed the cathedral will be the centerpiece of the City of Light once again !
Please don't use fake click bait graphics. People that have been following the rebuilding of this majestic cathedral already know it isn't going to be closed forever.
The Notre Dame does not only belong to the French, it belongs to the entire world. I cried when it burned, and I cried watching this video seeing it being built up again.
@@annasbandit You don't have any friends, do you? Because you're simply not a nice person. And now you sit on the internet projecting your fears to the world. You said sad sad little person....
Amazing work. Makes u think how the heck they were able to accomplish such buildings 800 years ago😱! Congrats to all involved and "merci" for the video. Can't wait to see Notre Dame after fully reconstructed. You English, for a non native is quite good, so keep up the great work. 🙏from 🇵🇹
Thank you for the video. I'm from the USA and understood everything. I visited Notre Dame many times and donated to the reconstruction. I wish I could have given more, but I pray you are are successful. The last time I attended a church service was at Notre Dame, 20 years ago.
I was on a long layover in Paris just after Charlie Hebdo and the city was empty. I wandered around the city a longtime and stumbled across Notre Dame. I remember sitting on the Seine across from it munching on a baguette with Mont D'or right at sunset. I think I saw the best of Paris.
I was in disbelief when I saw the news on the telly. And all the clergy wanted is light and he was warned about a possible electrical fault and yet he still went a head. a real dam shame. What a magnificent piece of architecture. If I wasn't so scared of heights. I would have loved to seen it. you don't realise how magnificent a monument is and the beauty of it.untill you see it with your own eyes. from 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
A very nice and precise report on the work being done. Thanks you very much. Notre Dame restauration / repair is a huge work with uncertainties but targeted for a partial re-opening to public of Notre Dame late December 2024. At that date, there will still will be outside work on-going and no public visits in the towers yet. The key restauration axis is to keep the cathedral unchanged both for its aspect but also for its structure. Exat same stone type, exact same shapes, mortar like it was done at its construction on the 12th century, exact same spire as it was designed by Violet-le-Duc on the 19th century.
I think this was a very informative. I haven't seen a single video about the build-up before, so I found it interesting. I have visited Notre Dame before the fire and hope to get back to Paris soon.
i woke one morning, it was a clear and bright day. I turned on the radio and heard the news...i instantly burst into tears. Never let go of your passion.
I have only been to Paris twice in my life, once in 2018 (we were part of those 14 millions) and once, sadly not long after the fire. The vision of the great lady melted our hearts. Only illness has prevented us returning sooner. Nous adorons Paris! We are delighted that she will rise again. Je ne suis allé à Paris que deux fois dans ma vie, une fois en 2018 (nous faisions partie de ces 14 millions) et une fois, malheureusement peu de temps après l'incendie. La vision de la grande dame a fait fondre nos cœurs. Seule la maladie nous a empêché de revenir plus tôt. Nous adorons Paris ! Nous sommes ravis qu'elle ressuscite.
Thank you very much for the update i had been wondering for some time about the progress; Ive traveled the world extensively and view this as one of the most awe inspiring structures on earth 😮
Thanks for this informative and well presented film, and my congratulations and best wishes to all the dedicated and highly skilled people involved in the restoration of this gothic masterpiece. 💐🌟👍
thankfuly we already have the best workers, engeneers ,architects and artists in the world for restauration. It's an occasion to advertize it. when they starded with the crazy modernist led by "internaitonal architects" projects I almost burst in flames. It was the stupidest possible thing to come up with, an insult to all those great people we have here. It's the work of their lifetime and it's amazing for them , having learnt historical architecture all their life , from the old books of builders , ancient techniques and craft , they deserved it.
The fire is the best thing that could have ever happened. The cathedral was falling down and no one cared. The fire rallied action. It will be more beautiful than ever.
I think your English is much better than mine. I was able to understand everything, but it's easier with subtitles. So you did everything right. Thank you very much for your report, I spent a few days in Paris in August and I very much hope that this wonderful cathedral will be completed by the opening of the Olympic Games.
I am happy to see everything going good for this beautiful Catholic church, yes I am Catholic and 52 years old and married. God bless all of us in the world we call home together, Happy Easter too. ✝️👍🏻☺️💕🐇🇺🇸
Oui, le moment où la charpente sera remise en place sera un grand moment d'émotion et de prière. Je suis contente de voir tout le travail déjà effectué pour restaurer Tout cet édifice et dans les moindres détails avec un amour inconditionnel. Merci aux donateurs aussi.. ce sera Beau et encore mieux tout autour. J'ai une Photo des années avant les évènements et je viendrai pour la seconde Photo. Après la restauration. Et la comparaison sera faite. Ce sera intéressant de voir comme c'est encore plus Beau. Merci pour ce Beau récapitulatif.
I can understand you quite fine. There are those who prefer subtitles because they have issues hearing and accented speech makes understanding harder. Actually I love your accent.❤❤❤
The young man running a maintenance project failed to properly oversee site before going out to drinks on a Friday night. A welder was left on, and it sparked the fire. This was well reported at the time.
Unfortunately, the most likely time for an old building to catch fire is during renovation because of all the power tools, wires strewn about, the general chaos. But I remember it was announced that it was definitely not sabotage way too quick for them to know that. (I'm not sure by who at this point, if it was coming from French authorities is just someone in the media declaring it so). Despite my initial reaction being it was just another case of accidental fire during renovation, and I still think that's most likely, the kneejerk, "It wasn't sabotage!" actually made me suspicious.
The commentary was excellent and easy to understand. Thank you for the progress report. No probs, no need to make changes and a new subscriber. I wish I could speak your lovely language . Take Care.
Amazing really, but even though I vividly remember a similarly devastating and shocking fire at York Minster in 1984 when I was a little boy, it didn't affect me as deeply and profoundly as the destruction of Notre Dame so many years later. I still can't explain why that might be, but I'm very glad it has been rescued by the people of France!
I have never visited the Notre Dame but I have seen it whilst travelling through Paris in 1981. I was so shocked to see it burn in 2019 on the news, so I aim to visit it when it is open again !
This cathedral has been there for so much of history. It has to be fixed its been there for centuries and centuries of humanities transformation its absolutely incredible
I work with non-native speakers who are learning English as a second language. Your grasp of the English language is very good. You have received some great feedback from viewers. If I were to rate your speaking ability based on the criteria that I use in my job, I would say that you are 85%-89% fluent. If you implement the suggestions made by viewers, you could easily bump your speaking ability to 90%-95% fluency in a very short period of time!
@@Looking4En Yes, your English is very good! I want to clarify that I work with Novice and Intermediate level students. I am basing my comments off of those two levels. (I do not work with Advanced or Expert level students). As you practice each day, your English skills will improve!
I used to work at the fuel desk of a truck stop. We had a large international (immigrants from around the world) customer base. I had no trouble at all understanding your accent.
Your English accent is a heck of a lot better than MY French one, but I try hard. I am so grateful to have seen that church several times before the firs, but, it is a living structure and the fire is one more happening along her life. In 20 years, how ever the reconstruction looks is accepted. I would love to see the church when that reconstruction is complete. J'aime Paris, et j'aime Notre Dame. Je vous remercie pour votre rapport.
I'm glad they went the route of rebuilding it as it was instead of modernizing it with glass and lights. As neat as glass rooves are, it just feels too modern compared to the rest of the building.
The fire at Notre Dame happened when a devastating fire took a beloved building from my community. It wasn't half as old as the cathedral, but it was built by the original settlers of the area. All that was left of it was just the outer shell of walls. But, with carefully planned and meticulously executed work, it has risen like a phoenix from the ashes. I'm glad to see how the restoration of Notre Dame is coming as it's also rising from ashes. Old buildings can be quite beautiful.
At least you have a more pressing deadline, the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna is considerably smaller and still took about 20 years to restore (at least restore the stones because of the limestone having turned black in the course of the centuries due to environmental pollution) lately (they aren't exactly finished yet) (I mean, we obviously had to do a lot of restoration work after WWII, but that was mainly about the bell tower
Its Good that its being rebuilt and more trees planted but people should not Forget that this is a religious Building and its main Purpose like many across France and the rest of Europe is to serve as a Palace of God.
The massive centering arcs could make many roof structures in their own right. I wonder if there are any plans? Even a few to cover a large room could make a handsome defining basic frame for a timber roof/ceiling.

I’d like to see the start of the Olympics and re-opening Norte Dame cathedral simultaneously !
Ian's French is coming along. Bravo!
You are quite understandable, thank you.
Thanks!
Amazing really, but even though I vividly remember a similarly devastating and shocking fire at York Minster in 1984 when I was a little boy, it didn't affect me as deeply and profoundly as the destruction of Notre Dame so many years later. I still can't explain why that might be, but I'm very glad it has been rescued by the people of France!
Excellent video. I have followed the reconstruction from the USA frequetly.
Thank you very much. I think the schedule is tight but the most part of the work should be achieved by the end of 2024.
I was lucky to visit the Notre Dame before it burned but i will come back and pray there again.
I have never visited the Notre Dame but I have seen it whilst travelling through Paris in 1981. I was so shocked to see it burn in 2019 on the news, so I aim to visit it when it is open again !
Such an iconic build I've never been to France but was sad to see it ablaze
This cathedral has been there for so much of history. It has to be fixed its been there for centuries and centuries of humanities transformation its absolutely incredible
Centuries of brutal slaughter of those true Christian folk who refused to bow to the satanic ritual of catholicism.
I work with non-native speakers who are learning English as a second language. Your grasp of the English language is very good. You have received some great feedback from viewers. If I were to rate your speaking ability based on the criteria that I use in my job, I would say that you are 85%-89% fluent. If you implement the suggestions made by viewers, you could easily bump your speaking ability to 90%-95% fluency in a very short period of time!
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I didn't think my English was as good as you said!
@@Looking4En Yes, your English is very good! I want to clarify that I work with Novice and Intermediate level students. I am basing my comments off of those two levels. (I do not work with Advanced or Expert level students). As you practice each day, your English skills will improve!
I used to work at the fuel desk of a truck stop. We had a large international (immigrants from around the world) customer base. I had no trouble at all understanding your accent.
Thanks, I will practice a lot because I love learning this beautiful language!
Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you very much for mentioning my project (alexandre fantozzi - aj6 studio)
Oh, you're most welcome !! I'm glad to read your comment :)
@@Looking4En Merci beaucoup!!!!
Your English accent is a heck of a lot better than MY French one, but I try hard. I am so grateful to have seen that church several times before the firs, but, it is a living structure and the fire is one more happening along her life. In 20 years, how ever the reconstruction looks is accepted. I would love to see the church when that reconstruction is complete. J'aime Paris, et j'aime Notre Dame. Je vous remercie pour votre rapport.
Excellent presentation my friend. Your English is just fine!
Oh... Thank you so much!
Thank you fir such agreat resume if the work done to date . Very interesting…
You're welcome!
Your English is very good and pronunciation is clear.
Thank you very much. Happy to hear that!
I'm glad they went the route of rebuilding it as it was instead of modernizing it with glass and lights. As neat as glass rooves are, it just feels too modern compared to the rest of the building.
Your English is excellent, Thankyou. 🇬🇧😊
Thank you so much 😊
The fire at Notre Dame happened when a devastating fire took a beloved building from my community. It wasn't half as old as the cathedral, but it was built by the original settlers of the area. All that was left of it was just the outer shell of walls. But, with carefully planned and meticulously executed work, it has risen like a phoenix from the ashes.
I'm glad to see how the restoration of Notre Dame is coming as it's also rising from ashes.
Old buildings can be quite beautiful.
As a parisian, seeing the notre damn burn was just one of the most horrifying sites ive seen in my city
Is there any progress catching the perps? They sure deserve to be caught and punished.
@@KenJackson_US nope nothing
Your accent and pronunciation are wonderful. It's like hearing the traffic report delivered by Daniel Auteuil. 😸
At least you have a more pressing deadline, the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna is considerably smaller and still took about 20 years to restore (at least restore the stones because of the limestone having turned black in the course of the centuries due to environmental pollution) lately (they aren't exactly finished yet)
(I mean, we obviously had to do a lot of restoration work after WWII, but that was mainly about the bell tower
Its Good that its being rebuilt and more trees planted but people should not Forget that this is a religious Building and its main Purpose like many across France and the rest of Europe is to serve as a Palace of God.
In other words, a place of deception and brainwashing. 🙄
Thank you for emphasizing that this monument is a house of Catholic worship, and not just a tourist site.
@@Laz_Arus No, that's your TV and internet.
Unhappily it would seem Christian Cathedrals in England, Manchester, Westminster Abbey! are being used for Islamic worship and prayer.
The massive centering arcs could make many roof structures in their own right. I wonder if there are any plans? Even a few to cover a large room could make a handsome defining basic frame for a timber roof/ceiling.
excellent reportage 👍
Merci beaucoup 👍
