Well it’s easy to know American cities by watching American films that are popular around the world. You don’t have to have an education to know them. I know French cities because of my French friends and my own curiosity.
Chris B this is true.. American films are popular throughout Europe including American tv shows.. many Europeans watch American entertainment to learn English.. in USA not many Americans watch foreign tv or films especially not in the country’s language.
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.

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...
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)

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
I’m American and I don’t even know what the whole March Madness thing was about.
...It's just a big basketball tournament to decide the college champion. it's really not complicated.
Q: What is March Madness?
A: *eyebrows*
Well, one thing is clear. We need to get rid of our ice.
🤣🤣
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.
Perfect knowledge !!!
They should ask some of these question in 2022.
I like how they didn't know the year America claimed independence when France was in the Revolutionary War lol. We wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for them!
I love they were all like 😳 at March madness. I would’ve thought it was the purge if I were them
We love your people
“Pff”
Hahah damn, y’all very hung up about our ice hahaha. Love, love, love a cold drink!
I'm American and I don't know what March Madness is lmao. I'll look it up now
One that one guy said oOf... I felt that
VIVE LA FRANCE 🇨🇵🤣🤣
He said Danold Trump in March is March Madness.😆😆😆🤣 They knew more things than I, an American, did.😬😅
“Big” the Tom Hanks movie.
c'est des questions basiques (bon j'admets que je ne savait pas ce qu'était : the house of représentative" mais par déduction j'aurais pû deviner)
concernant la date de la déclaration d'indépendance c'est : the fourth of july seventeen seventy-six (et si je ne me trompe pas elle à été signée à Philadelphie...mais je n'en suis pas sûr). Bon j'avoue que je suis aidé car je suis né un quatre juillet (tient c'est aussi le titre d'un film) et qu'il suffit d'avoir vu les films "independance day" entre autres pour connaitre la date de la déclaration d'indépendance des états unis d'amérique (titulature complète s'il vous plait)

The sexiest language and accent ever.
« Donald Trump in march » il m’a tué 😭😂😂😂
"Porn", they're very good at it.
our old dead cavepeople were drawing dicks during the paleolithic era. And then you get to Mesopotamia and you get some hot missionary sex depictions!
Porn is from quebec
"McDonalds", you’re very good at it.
These are informative responses but some are rather odd choices for questions.
Mais sérieux vous avez filmé à Saint-Étienne 😂😂 devant mon ancien établissement en plus x_x
Là où y'a la pire équipe de foot aussi
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 🤷🏼♀️

French people are more educated about America than Americans are about America. Lol
The ice guy 😝

Im American and i didn't even know what the golden gate bridge was
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 🗿
Amazing they knew so much about the usa
"So much" *Can answer less than half of the questions correctly
We are study all your history since the 19th century at school, please be kind when you don't even know where is France without google maps
Max pourret they werent even being mean mdr
Max pourret very ignorant statement u made typical French people🙄
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)
I’m American and I honestly think many American’s would not have been able to answer some of these questions, let alone similar questions about France. But major points to the dude who answered that “march madness” was “Donald Trump in March?” 🏆🤣🤣
@LOUIS BOURBON I’m not at ALL patriotic, but making such sweeping blanket insults like that about such an enormous country of diverse people when you’ve only visited a small section of it makes you seem like the ignorant and self centered one here.
@LOUIS BOURBON Well, you are entitled to your own beliefs, no matter how repugnant and hypocritical.
Born and raised in us and don’t know what March madness is
Were you born yesterday by chance?
@@MST3Killa I recently learned that it was sports related. I know nothing about sports
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.
Fucking whaaaaaat
Je suis d'accord, je ne comprends vraiment pas cette haine gratuite.

Good to see that there are normal people in America.

You put so much ice in you're drink it's just seems weird to us... We have a maximum of 3 ice cubes per drink, otherwise it would be wayyy too much

Americans put ice in almost every drink which is different than a lot of other places in the world
Man so much ice in EVERY drink in the US ! I agree :)
I was thinking they'd been to only the NE coast and only in winter! Maybe not, huh?
