11:04 I'm one of these people who are terrible at small talk, but get me started about world politics and you'll have to cancel your appointments for the rest of the day.
Wow this was really interesting as a french speaker to realise my upbringing was so similar to French people despite never having lived there. For context, I am from a Belgian-colonised french-speaking African country and I also grew up a bit in Montreal. I could relate to a lot of things like always eating your meal at the table and the life hygiene things. Growing up I remember begging my parents for a TV in my bedroom and they thought it was a terrible idea, they also used to cut-off wifi after 11pm lol. At home we always wore pantoufles! And of course, family dinners were filled with passionate debate about the latest social topics. The perfect breakfast according to my parents was always good quality bread with butter and jam (or butter and honey) and some tea, yogurt and fruit. So many similarities it's crazy really. I have aunties who grew up similarly in the same culture and every little thing will be "c'est jolie, comme c'est beau ce petit chiffon" and "mon trésor, mon amour". And of course, always fake names on socials and hardly ever share anything. 😂 Sooo many similarities and what's weirder is I never questioned it. Growing up, I thought it was just my family's weird quirks. It's crazy when you think how far the influence of French language and culture has reached when it is so present in lived of people who never even lived there. Anyway, this just blew my mind. I gotta go lay down somewhere.
Wow that is soo interesting omg how a language can penetrate and change your life so deeply 😯 thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. How interesting because as an American from a Hispanic culture, I also grew up in no tv in the bedroom, no phone after 10 pm, butter with jam, and yogurt with fruit 😂 however for us that is seen as a snack or dessert. Not an actual meal.
Bonjour Rosie, bizarrement je suis en Nouvelle Zelande en ce moment et ce n'est que maintenant que je peux mettre en contexte les choses que tu mentionnes dans tes vidéos. Je résumerai la chose simplement, les Français/francophones sont dans “l'être" et les anglos sont dans le "faire". J'ai rencontré beaucoup de personnes ici qui me parlent exclusivement des "tasks" - tu dois être là à telle heure, tu dois manger à telle heure, vous devez rendre la table à telle heure etc alors que pour moi je ne suis pas dutout dans la précision des tâches mais dans l'expérience du moment, je m'en fous un peu des milliers d'instructions pour toutes les choses. Par contre, j'ai beaucoup aimé les paysages dont Milford Sound hier, tout cela est magnifique.
I think that has to do with English/Western’s obsession with capitalism, and always being somewhere on time or doing things quickly and mindlessly. France seems to be the opposite of that.
@@Miguel.Garcia It is so bizarre. Even on holidays. I ask questions like how was this or that and the reply is "The bus was on time yadi yadi yada" or "They gave some water etc" when I was asking about the actual experience of going somewhere or seeing something, not the mindless activities attached to the main event. If I am seeing an enormous mountain, I am invested in that, if I am going on the walks, I am analysing the walk itself. I feel that (and I could be entirely wrong in this) what we call in french "être présent" and Italians also call it "precenza" which is the concept of being entirely involved emotionally in what is happening is not a thing - this is why we pay attention to how we dress, eat, socialise, learn, talk and so on and so forth - for us living is an art.
@@sharonlatour8616 Yes, I think this partly why anxiety is on the rise. We are constantly anticipating the next thing or what already happened. In English speaking countries at least. We have forgotten the most important things and often have our heads down looking at social media. Social interaction and the appreciation of the world around us is not well understood or practiced. Very individually focused and self centred.
@@healthwithinacupunctureand6090 I noticed this too. We would be in a tour and a few guests would be 4 minutes late, all the Aussies and Kiwis would get really worked up. Here I am thinking "why are you so tense on a holiday tour? In my mind every holiday activity should rightfully have a period of grace, if it says 4.00pm, I would think okay well I will leave the time open to 5.00pm for any delays. It is a holiday, not a bank appointment" But I realise they are literally on a countdown to tick the box and finish the activity, not even time to eat. For me this is madness, and a heart attack at 50. I don't even have time to reach the hotel, "what are we going to eat?" - not even time to step out of the van and digest what happened, they are already on the next task. Wow. It is like living in a perpetual state of mindless emergency. I have a lot of difficulty adapting to this because for example in Francophone culture, after a long tour (12 hours), we will (almost) always go to our rooms refresh, change clothes, breathe a moment before eating. Some people who are not from our culture see it as a ritual, I just see it as having "une hygiène de vie" like we say in French.
Ah, the French and their slippers ... If you wish to go really French about it, do purchase - causde the genuine, guaranteed ones aren't cheap- the Charentaises slippers. Used to be associated with old age but now they've become "branchées" (in), hip, trendy) . Also allowing small factories to go on with the production of those genuinely comfy, warm and high quality slippers. Vive les Charentaises françaises !
You are so wonderful. I am so excited about learning French. You are such an inspiration to me in your love of French language and things French!
I find that most European countries are similar to your points here... slippers, conversation, natural beauty etc. :) Thanks for your videos, very enjoyable!
You’re a major reason I’m learning French. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
Finally something positivé!
Enfants et legos = chaussons nécessaires.
Great points!
But. . .
I'm still stunned at how every time she tries to utter even one word in French she completely misvowels it.
Like EVERY time!
Right from the start she somehow managed to turn the very simple "j'adore" into a "j'adeure".
"Un tour" becomes "un teur", surely making her speech pretty incomprehensible to French people.
So EASY to fix!
Six years living in France, and nobody ever sat her down and had her drill those simple sounds?
Why didn't she ask someone, at least for an honest appraisal?
Had I met her at any stage I would have had her pronouncing her French correctly within an hour, no kidding!
It's all about awareness of the sounds, so easy to learn with some minimum phonological guidance.
Enjoyed all of the information.
Love how being cultured and socially integrated is part of success. Haven’t experienced being able to strongly disagree and still be friends yet but sounds great- ideas shouldn’t get in the way. Loved this video. Glad you are doing fine! 🇫🇷🇳🇿
Bonjour Rosie,
Very nice video with a lot of subjects. Very interesting. As an old French, I just want to notice that young generation (Z, etc) are more often without slippers, barefoot or with little socks. There are more houses with heat system by the ground. So, kids could play without slippers.
Just a little thing about the constant need of debating for most of french people (mostly men ! why ?).
The roots are deeps inside the earlier middle-age (VIII to X century) with the "scholastique" school and later the Sorbonne. One of the most appreciated learning wath the art of debate.
This (so called) art is part of learning of philosophical doctorants since ever the university (Toulouse, Montpellier, Paris) existed (XI to XIII century).
Today, law students learned "la plaidoirie" and always this art of debating. Point #1
Since the third republic (1870), politic is in the hand of citizens (more or less) and debating, voting, struggling, striking, manifesting is the basic of french live. For the best or the worst.
Voila une petite précision.
Rosie, as always, i see your video with great pleasure.
Take care. Have fun.
Loved this thank you Rosie! Xxxx
Thanks for the video. I like a little bit about every place so I can say every place has something for me.
Love your videos! Such interesting information. I think this kind of thing is really important when learning a language. It provides that missing element. thanks
Bonjour Rosie, Well said!!
Once again you did a very good job describing the French style, our way of thinking and seing life.
Yes! CONVERSATIONS!!! I miss that so much.... Looking forward to heading back to France after 15 years in Aotearoa!!
Thanks for your fantastic videos, I love them!
You are so right on the debates that do not turn ugly! My roomate and I used to disagree on many things and we debated a lot but we got along (and still do) very well! It is not about changing the other's opinion indeed, it is instead to understand it and test your arguments againt theirs to deepen your understanding of the topic I think.
Hello *Rosie,*
Thank you very much, a lot of information on each subject, it's very abundant.
Of course, one could argue there are a lot of "clichés", but as a whole, it's very close to reality, so we can only agree. 😊
Unfortunately, these are common values that are in danger of disappearing quite quickly.
I'm not convinced the younger generations will continue this culture for long when you see the place the smartphone has taken in their lives.
In restaurants, on the table or most often in the hand, on the beach, in bed, in short, the smartphone invites itself everywhere.
It has become very difficult in France to have a serious conversation (and this, whatever the age of the interlocutor) without being suddenly interrupted after 5 minutes, sometimes less, by a very impolite: "Excuse me!" Because the person is answering a call ( ...No, I don't excuse you. Because it's very rude. But, since you don't even realize it, what do you want me to tell you? So politely, I'll answer you: "Please, do.").
Your interlocutor then leaves in a wholly different conversation, and sometimes for quite a long time.
We shouldn't get used to that. We lose all our values like this.
Answer the phone, why not? But, your answer should be almost all the time, consistent. "Hello, sorry, I'm chatting, I'll contact you later." And, you should hang up.
That's true courtesy, respect for others. The phone should never take precedence over what you're currently sharing in the real world with another person. Because by doing so, you discredit her. You think what's going on your phone is more important than the person in front of you.
Think about it.
Peace, folks. ☮🤗
I identify with so much that you speak of ( although, historically, I have French ancestors on both sides of my family)I love to talk about many topics beyond the personal. I’m insatiably curious and love a good debate without resentment. I was also discussing the meaning of success with my children recently. They see “successful” people yet these people are often pushing themselves to such extremes and destroying themselves both physically and possibly mentally. Aside from a video about cultural differences, this is another topic worth debating; what is success? Modern English speaking cultures certainly need a lesson in this. Thank you for this! ( now I just need a willing debater… lol)
Teenage Rosie eating cookies and playing Sims 4…I’m 30 and still do that!! I noticed the hygiene thing in Denmark too like my ex bf had a computer and tv in his room (it was a flat share) but it faced away from the bed which was interesting
Oh la je suis en avance 😂😂
J’aimerais bien des vidéos sur la Nouvelle-Zélande, je trouve que y’a pas beaucoup de contenu sur le pays.. même si c’est pas vraiment le sujet de la chaîne ça pourrait être intéressant. La bise 😊
@@NotEvenFrenchC’est vrai que ça serait intéressant parce que a part le traité de waitangi vu en cours à l’époque du lycée j’ai pas vraiment l’opportunité d’apprendre pas bcp de choses sur la NZ et c’est dommage ! C’est pas le pays sur lequel ont trouve le plus d’infos de qualité…
Hello Rosie, I love your channel content ❤, I have a question, do you know how I can get classes in translation?
Lol!! I just had my friend from Versaille comment on the weather. I really like the French.
Really enjoyed this one, and personally timely: I am literally about to go to Paris (in Jan) and be there if things go right for most of the year, then...going to NZ! I'll probably need to hire you as a trans-cultural life coach at some point.
Not me watching this video while being on Calzedonia website looking for pantoufles and interior socks because my feet are so cold right now
I have just returned from Paris. I found the people to be very friendly. The airport and the metro were another story lol. Had a horrific Easyjet experience. But I would LOVE to live there and throw myself into French lessons.
Hi, did you change your audio capture equipment ? It seems the sound is not as good in this video as others.
Deffo is out of sync sadly!
Quelle observatrice ! Best description of my parents 😂
un jour, toi aussi tu y viendras aux charentaises ! sûr ! :))))
Moi aussi.
8 weeks of vacation 🎉. The absolute max in Canada is 6 weeks plus a 3 day office closure for Christmas
As a half French - half Italian guy, YES !! i couldn't agree more. Food IS life !! Prove me wrong if you dare lol. The only thing you forgot mentioning is also the time we spend talking about food too. Can be a lot !
Strikes ... Yes, we are pretty famous or even mocked for that but as you said, it's definitely not about being lazy but fighting for our rights. We feel like sometimes politicians need to be reminded that they are actually our employees in a way. They are public servants, like any other. Not our boss.
And nothing comes from nowhere ! Seems that no other country on earth goes on strikes more than France according to different studies. We love complaining and arguing anyway, as you already know ;
Best healthcare system on earth according to the WHO, created in 1946 / 30 mandatory paid vacation days per year on top of 5 national holidays, increased since then but created in 1936, 14 days at the time and the same law established the 40 hours full-time work week / 16 weeks of paid maternity leaves, only for civil servants at first but created in 1929 / 'free" schools (paid thanks to our taxes sure but still), Jules Ferry laws established free education in 1881, then mandatory and laic education in 1882 ... Ans "some" countries pretend all this would ruin the economy !? Yes, USA, looking at you ...
Well, I saw a video about the war in Ukraine and the title was "Russia about to find out why Americans don't have free health care". Of course that's because there's another kind of free we care about. You're welcome.
@@retireorbust Yeah sure !! Keep being indoctrinated into believing that's why the US spends so much money on military. Not at all because billionaires make tons of money on that and that its the only way for you ti ruin countries all over the world like in the Middle East or South America to profit from their natural ressources ... Obviously not !! Meanwhile ... Considering the way 90% of the population of the US is treated you shouldn't be that proud of being basically the world's bully. Don't talk about freedom and democracy when your country is anything but that
@@retireorbust Oh and i checked ... Didn't find any video with that title. Only one post on reddit ...
But i guess spreading BS is a valid argumentation in your country ... I would highly recommend opening a few history books.
Btw you're welcome too. Without the French and the Spanish you'd still be a British colony. And we gifted you with one of your most famous monuments, the very symbol of your country, the urban planning of your federal capital city was designed by a French architect ...
But since you need a little here is some kind of reality check; let me help :
About a fifth of US adults have medical debt in collections, according to a recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Every year 530,000 American families file for bankruptcy due to medical bills.
US medical bills and indebtedness are responsible for 66.5% of all American personal insolvencies, (leading cause of bankruptcy in America, according to the National Consumer Law Center).
In the US, the average cost of childbirth in 2020 was $13,393. Here in France it costs only a little over $2,500 AND it's partially reimbursed thanks to our healthcare system, considered the best on earth by the WHO, created on 1946 - Btw ... per capita national health expenditures in the US: $11,582 or 17.7% of the GDP ... It's only 9.37% of the GDP in France or $4,492 per person per year. It's the most expensive system on earth but still ranks last on the OECD Healthcare Quality and Outcomes index with a score of 88.7, compared to an average of 93.7 for comparable countries.
And on top of that people still have to pay taxes + private health insurance + medical bills + prescription drugs ... Makes absolutely NO sense at all !!
What kind of freedom is that ?
The slippers thing is because the French also don't take off outdoor shoes when they go indoors so there's a lot of dirt on the floor not cool for bare feet and also there is never any floor heating in like they have in Scandinavian countries and the US, so the floors can be really cold if they are not wooden, but of tiles. The houses in general are cool in winter because the houses are not well isolated and the electricity or "fioul" is considered expensive.
quand nous rentrons chez nous dans notre maison , nous enlevons nos chaussures et nous mettons des chaussons . pour nous êtres pieds nus c'est un manque de respect envers votre épouse ou mari et les enfants en tant que parents nous demandons aux enfants de mettent des chaussons (chaussons = pantoufles légères) on ne restent pas nu pieds dans la maison !!! quand nous sommes invités chez des amis nous n'enlevons pas nos chaussures , mais nous essuyons les chaussures sur les paillassons . quand au chauffage au sol nous n'avons pas attendus les américains pour les installer comme les chauffages par la géothermie . quand a la température dans les maison en Hivers c'est 19° 20° Mis a part les maisons des années 1930 jusqu'à 1980 , les maisons sont isolés . nous avons une maison de vacance qui date de 1876 les murs sont très épais ce qui garde la fraicheur en été et la chaleur en hivers bien sûr nous avons fait l'isolation du toit .
@@veroj9280 Yes, if you are the owner of the house you will use slippers because the floor is cold (in England floors and houses are also cold) and because your guests will not take off their shoes so the floor is dirty. I saw people using slippers in their homes in "province" but never in Paris. I think the room temperatures are +19 at best in France and that is too cold for many people in other countries, like in Denmark and Norway where +21 is the norm. But maybe that's the reason why the French are always "enrhumées" and wear scarves even indoors.
Pieds nus = manque de respect ?! Even if you have socks on? This must be related to the poor hygiene. My French girlfriend forbad me to take off my shoes when we were dining because she said it would smell. Perhaps she supposed my feet would smell because the French themselves often skip showers and stink? I never crossed so many smelly people (sweaty and with bad breath) anywhere else.
@@maksim8262 it is rare to read such: nonsense, nonsense and bullshit!!! I don't think you had a French girlfriend, a French woman wouldn't pay the slightest attention to such a wacky nag, an idiot and a moron. of course in France, there are salty people, do they have the same in the country where you are? Well, if you are in the United States for us French it is the country of: ignoramuses, the uneducated, the ignorant, the rude, the thick brutes, but also the country of obscurantism!!!

My French husband doesn't eat cheese...Except emmental on his gratin!!! Go figure and I constantly scratch my head...He says it's not 'cheese'...🤔
Because Emmental is tasteless.
bcs your husband know the real cheese with taste (emmental is so without) and bad chance for him. :))
kisses from France
@@guiluxfantastic I agree! I love cheese, especially French cheeses!!! His loss...
Funny how you mention they talk about weather. My theory if you can call it that is…the weather is a topic that’s neutral. It’s not politics and not religion so it’s easy to discuss.
be careful, between French people, we could very well debate on the subject of the weather ! :D

Did you ever do a segment on WHY FRENCH WOMEN DON'T WEAR SHORTS? ty.
They didn't use to at all (at least not in public) but nowadays many young women do - denim ones in the summer, and winter ones with tights in cooler weather. If you're referring to athletic wear, then you're right, that type of clothing is usually not worn in public.
@@mgparis Txs for the info. I retired my "daisy dukes (aka short shorts) at around age 60 in favor of more tailored knee length shorts.
We do but we also like to be elegant for any occasion. Fashion is very important and we also like to wear pretty skirts and dresses.

Hi. I’ve some questions about the French ppl and culture. 1- when they get up , they have their breakfast, then they wash their mouth and brush their teeth. 2- they use butter when doing it from the …back ! I 3- having a mistress is sooo common! I forgot the rest of the questions. Next time. Sorry dear. Greetings from Dubai.
!!! questions difficiles à comprendre , aucuns sens 🤢
Please tell me you're not actually serious...
Too much holidays, France is not business friendly. They don't even have a word for entrepreneur😆
Because Entrepreneur is a french word ; )
😅So funny!
« Entrepreneur » is literally a french word my man… really….
That's precisely the joke he does! 😂😂You missed it and totally pass on the side.
@@MegaShmoot That's words from George W Bush. 🤥
The sound is very bad
You look French.
I don't like colours schemes used in working class houses.
I met a kiwi girl once. Nice girl. Just she had vaginism. End of the story.
You mean she was vegan?
@@Cloudyvi No, I meant she could not have a proper sexual intercourse with penetration.
