When you've experienced French administration you either don't survive or you end up scarred for life

[@MrFoxbogardus]

Wrong! When you've experienced french administration, you can survive everywhere (including russian administration). Actually, according to different studies, fench students abroad (Ireland, England, New zealand...) are more confortable with filling papers, procedures.... Even french entrepreneurs leave France because it's easier creating your small company. You also pay less taxes.... Even, getting your driving licence is easier in other european countries for example.... It's just a few examples.... Peace from lockdowned france

[@lonelyjesse85]

@@MrFoxbogardus I get what you're saying and I mostly agree with you but then you have people like my sister and me who develop something like a phobia when it comes to administration... There's nithing worse for me than having to fill up an administrative document - it gives me panic attacks....

When I nannied near Paris for two little girls, I was so taken by their intelligence and genuine intrigue about many different, rather deep, subjects; and they were only in maternelle! I noticed the same enthusiasm for knowledge in their friends. I was very inspired to say the least.

[@aidabullah1040]

I’m so much surprised too , my kids are in primary grade but what they are learning is High school subjects and the way they do mathematics is what I did when I was in High School. They have so much knowledge even more than I do.

[@jmb1101]

I spent 6 weeks in Paris when I was 10 years old and went a few weeks to French school. I learned to cross my 7s and am still doing it 4 decades later (yes, I'm old and love your chaine!). I also learned to love wine there too - yes, they French people gave a child wine - and I still love it (my dad is of Italian descent so OK). I have also loved the French language since then - there is none like it. I am finally taking French lessons now and plan to move to France in the next few years at least for part of each year.

[@alwaysknow3356]

Adore your videos, they are soo funny and insightful! My sister is married to a French guy and these videos crack me up! Also thrilled you are doing the ones analysing the French again, I could listen to you all day. Best wishes from Ireland

[@cherls15]

In general Rosie, since watching your awesome videos, I've realised that my personality has always been French and I just didn't know. So, I have ALWAYS appreciated, great food and I favour home cooked food. As far as I am concerned, no restaurant out there can cook a steak better than I can at home. I have always liked, quiet and non - forceful social interaction, dressing well, knowing and reading about many different topics. I have always had strong opinions and have learned that in NZ, having a strong opinion equates to being obnoxious or "up myself" lol. I have always had an interest in art, theatre and so on, you get the point. So, I have never been anywhere near France, but your videos have shown me that I could possibly fit it well. Take care Rosie!

[@cherls15]

@@NotEvenFrenchThank you for your reply! Yes, I'm sure. Not too sure if I could cope with women telling me what I should be having for dessert but in general, it sounds like a bucket list country for me. Also, I was thinking about the anglicising of other languages. I am originally from South Africa and came to NZ in my younger teen years. As a result, I learned Maori words properly and with enthusiasm. I find that sadly, I can get mocked here as well for saying Taupo like " tow- po" or in general, anytime I know how a word should be pronounced ( other Germanic languages) it's impossible to anglicise the language as it can feel a little like dismembering😅

[@SWBGTOC]

Internet is funny, I'm French and don't really see myself into any of these kind of videos except the love for debate and giving my opinion in general. On the other side, when I watch videos about Japanese culture and all these little everyday life quirks, I feel like my "personality" is a lot more Japanese. Or at least like it's described. But as we say we never feel as French (or whatever our nationality is) as when we go to another country, so I'll see, one day.

I think you forgot one thing, when you're abroad, as soon as you hear about a new restaurant serving French food in your town, you just can't wait to go and try and even order a bottle of wine for more than 20 € that you know costs 4 times less. And whenever Lidl or some other supermarket is organizing a French week, you go and rummage and raid the cheese section to make some stock. And also you just can't have a meal without that French salted butter which you found at the supermarket because it definitely tastes better than any other local brand you tried.

[@SarahlabyrinthLHC]

I went to the Post Office to send a package and the reply was "No, you can't post that because your box is too small and the paperwork won't fit on it". And it wasn't a particularly small box! Lol. I had to take it home and re package it in a bigger box.

[@TiborVass]

Spot on for pretty much everything, but as a Frenchman I’ve got to find the one point of disagreement: hearing French abroad is actually obnoxious for the French: it feels like when someone is wearing exactly the same clothes as you. We sometimes keep quiet and give our group that look that says “geez why do they have to be so many everywhere” which is consciously egoistic but we just laugh about it. I find this to be less true when you’re homesick, then you’re very happy to engage with the French. By the way I live in the US (San Francisco, a French colony at this point) and love watching your videos, they remind me of home in a good or funny (usually when bad) way. A touchy topic I find interesting is racism/discrimination and how different the French and American (Sorry I don’t know about NZ except I’ve heard about Maori culture integration into national culture) viewpoint is. A great video that sums up the intellectual debate is Trevor Noah’s response video to the French ambassador after the FIFA World Cup: the word “race” screams Hitler to the French and always found it weird on forms in the US. Anyway good luck with everything and hope you can come back to France at some point soon!

I've always heard from these types of videos about french culture coming from expats or tourists that we don't really celebrate most of holidays except for Christmas , and a lot of them even said that we don't even have Halloween celebrations but that's not what i've experienced my whole life living in France x) I've always celebrated Halloween and every person that i've known did it too , and especially people with kids , like going doors to doors in your neighborhood for candy is still happening where i live

[@lysancasilvestris4449]

As usual, everything depends on the perspective. I am German and I was quite surprised to hear about a "broad education", especially with the examples Rosie gives. My french partner had one year of philosophy in school, never learned the slightest bit of art history in art lessons and geography and history are one subject during collège, which I find outrageous, among other things. Also, my french family has absolutely no knowledge about the natural world. I'd say what made me want to learn more is myself, not living in France. Also, I already had the same cooking and regular eating habits and the wish to eat healthy and reduce waste before I moved to France. So maybe that is more of a European aspect. But of course a lot of the other things are typically french :)

[@hcm5467]

To be fair, history and geography are closely tied, you would be hard press to understand geopolitical issues without knowing the history of the place. and you could be bafled by somme historiclal conflicts if you dont get the geography of the place, comercial roads, natural resources and so forth

[@philv3941]

Surprised to hear that : biology and sciences are learnt since school, history and geography very soon and till "lycee" ... but of course in the late years you can change to focus more on science than on culture. For the real interest put on those subjects, i guess it depends on the family. In the mean time i was not impressed by the culture of my german ex ( from saar) and her family. Mine was very concerned and put a pressure on a wide culture as i am doing now with my kids. I admit not all the french families i know are like that.

I tick all of the signs mentioned. Unfortunately, where I live, people don’t appreciate these signs. People shame you for loving culture and art, wanting to learn more about general topics, saying you’re pretentious or haughty. People are attracted to buffets because quantity trumps quality (and nobody craves for bread). People are often quite rude and have no sense of politesse. Fashion is very ostentatious, logo heavy and it’s just a vehicle to show off. People also have this very fake optimism and and definitely disapprove of complaining. I’ve never felt comfortable where I live and have often been ostracized for just being me. There were just a completely different set of values. However, when I went to France, I felt quite at ease, and dare I say it, at home (helps that I know the language). I know living in France is not all roses, but I appreciate the French way of living and being.

Hallowe'en is only 'made up' in certain parts of the world where the Americanised version is celebrated. In other areas, where it originated, it's akin to Dia de los Muertos. In North America, their holiday to cut through the bleakness of winter is the two Thanksgiving holidays, but in Europe, it's always been Christmas, which the North Americans don't understand.

Valentine's Day is not a made-up holiday, it is Saint Valentine's Day in Christianity.

Another sign you become French: become angry when you heard stranger tell French and American culture are same... ESPECIALLY FOR FOOD CULTURE

[@panouf1769]

Editing later : CHECK... my wife said me recently : - my first cultural shock in France was when i realised that French cook is not EXACTLY same as american cook... - WHAT???? - yes... american love "French fries" so i thinked french use it a lot too... Now of course I realised that is wrong

le dernier exemple avec LaPoste c'est juste le pire exemple de l'administration LUL (si tu ne connais pas il y a le sketch de Danny Boon sur la poste qui resume bien la situation).

"si y a pas la queue à la poste, c'est qu'elle est fermée." 😆

La Poste est une société anonyme depuis 2010, donc, ne blâmez pas l'Administration publique pour des turpitudes dues à l'économie privée
