I would love to hear you parse through French accents from people in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion - differences, similarities, inflection, accent etc! Thanks so much!

[@wir6228]

Singing in french, Stella has a clear and touching voice °0° I'm going to search for some of her songs ;-)

[@Street_French]

ah yeah you should her music's great :)

[@brittanyb6889]

I think Stella has a video on her KZbin where she’s reading a French Wikipedia page. If you want a longer sample lol

[@Street_French]

thanks ! yeah Part 2 is coming where I reacted to that :))

[@Jhonmz]

Her Spanish was ✨chef kiss✨ 👌🏽 but she said thank you in Portuguese. Totally understandable though because the languages are similar, and she still said it in a Spanish accent which was curious. This girl is fascinating.

[@Street_French]

ah yeah true! maybe she just wanted to add another language at the end :)

I just started listening to Stella Jang, and then this comes into my subscription box! So cool!

we have a lot in common I guess haha would love to hear your suggestions then!

@@Street_French I know one japanese youtuber who makes her videos in French, she's called JULIE JAPON and another korean one who goes by the name Parisiang TV. Their French is super good already. Also Roger Federer and F1 champion Nico Rosberg speak French but they are also super good speaking it. I think Hugh Laurie has spoken French a few times, but I'm not sure to be honest. Hope you can check them out!

French Grandes Ecoles are the equivalent to Ivy Leagues in the U.S. However Grandes Ecoles are not considered to be Universities which is why French Universities don't rank as high as American ones do but actually I read that it's more difficult to get into école normal supèrieur than it is to get into Harvard.

[@jordanfabula3137]

That's exactly the same way I thought about it when I learned about the grandes écoles for the first time from this video! Even politicians make their way into political office through the grandes écoles, just like American politicians do through the Ivy League schools.

[@rimberse3405]

No, they aren't. They are inferior to Ivies lol. Princeton, Upenn and Harvard are better than anything you would find in France lol. >> French Universities don't rank as high as American ones PSL, Paris Saclay and Sorbonne take the first 3 places in France (according to QS, Times and Shanghai rankings). Only "écoles de commerce" don't appear in rankings, because they only teach one thing and they have their own ranking. >> it's more difficult to get into école normal supèrieur than it is to get into Harvard No idea about Harvard, but it would be way more difficult to get into MIT than into Polytechnique.

[@carlmotiwalla9985]

Rimberse you’re passionate lol

[@Aryomful]

Rimberse yeah, but he spoke about l’ENS (École Normale Supérieure, ULM) not about Polytechnique and I do believe getting into ENS is almost impossible

[@chipham1281]

It's also important to understand the purpose of national EDUCATION by countries in the world, therefore their "elites schools". (Comparing the rankings could be futile, like the question of apples and oranges, or "Which intelligence organization is the best in the world",...) Do the products who came out serve their country economically, culturally (yes, sports, arts, media...), politically, etc... well ? Will the graduates of Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Écoles Normales Supérieures, TU (Berlin? Stuttgart ?), etc. help their country and people better? Especially if they become 'experts' and participate in some governments or "administration teams" ? Hint: Fight(s) against Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and beyond.

I love the videos. They’re very informative. In the Hispanic community there is a famous actress named Angelique Boyer. She’s does a lot of Spanish soap operas but she has a couple of videos on KZbin speaking in French. She was born and raised in Mexico but has French parents and had to learn French late in life. It would be interesting to see what you think about her French! Thank you 😁😁

[@Street_French]

ow thank you so much for the suggestion I will definitely check her out.

[@yumnax]

Thanks for this video. I love Stellas French. Her accent is super clear and I want to achieve this level of fluency in french as well. Funny enough, she butchered the German part. She said: "Ich bin ein Sänger von Korea", which would translate to: I'm a male singer of Korea". What she should have said is either "Ich bin eine koreanische Sängerin" (= I'm a female Korean singer) or "Ich bin eine Sängerin aus Korea" (= I'm a female singer from Korea). Anyways kudos to her for being able to speak so many languages.

[@heartsbane7363]

was not sure if it was my post about you reacting to Stella Jang, on her French. was not expecting it this soon, but this is great. love her french accent, sadly I don't have the talent to learn another language, tried and failed many times, unlike my mom, she speak 5 or 6 language fluently, I guess the genes was not pass on.

[@Street_French]

haha yeah a bunch of you asked for that video and I think I already filmed it when you commented ^^ ow and I don't know if you need special talent to learn a language. it can easier for some people maybe true^^ do you maybe feel some pressure because your mom speaks that many languages? it reminds me of someone else's comment and experience. it doesn't have to be the same thing for you of course :)

[@elijahpetty7638]

I've always wondered why being en Engineer is such a big status in France. For instance, when you become an Engineer you get the title "titre d’ingénieur" but in America, there is no title. There is however a title for getting a Ph.D. in which you get to be called Doctor which isn't the case in France.

[@Poussindesdomtom]

_"Grandes écoles"_ or _"engineer"_ (you're not necessarily an engineer when you're graduated from a _"Grande école_ ) are more a social standing thing. It's hard to explain but in our culture, people who do this kind of schools tend to consider themselves as _"superior",_ smarter than _"the proles"_ . Of course, I'm generalizing, all of them aren't unbearable pricks! ^^

[@Street_French]

ah yeah it's true we don't have the Dr thing in France. but I think lawyer are being called "Maître" something like that. and yeah engineer are a diploma seen as very valuable and special it's true. but it really depends what you want to do. also as @OUPS said, you can study various things in grandes écoles: can be politics, "commerce", etc...

[@tawkameyu]

You still get the title in France but it's just that no one uses it in conversations. But after a PhD you still get the title

[@elijahpetty7638]

@@tawkameyu I also believe education is influenced by the Napoleonic education system which is why engineers have so much prestige.

[@Lodai974]

@@elijahpetty7638 some of these schools were created under Napoleon (Polytechnique or ENS for example)

Lately, I just knew Stella Jang and just started listening to her song called "L'Amour les Baguette, Paris" Please kindly teach how to pronounce the words from this song. Thanks a lot.

[@itsdollface23]

a bit off topic: but do other francophone countries (Belgium, Côte d’Ivoire, Québec etc) use verlan like in France?

[@Street_French]

that's a good question! I don't really know... Maybe Belgium? I have no idea!

[@littlepotato7448]

I can tell you that in Québec they use verlan, must of it because of the cultural diversity (people who have family from France).

[@alizeecrvs8237]

Yeah, the only things that would differ would be the expressions, but overall verlan is pretty international when it comes to french!

[@itsdollface23]

wow okay good to know!

I should record myself speaking French. LOL, I wonder what you would think. I run into a lot of French people camping and Hiking Mount Whiney. So many French people on Mount Whitney 2019. It was surreal. The last time I spoke French, the lady said she could understand me. Maybe she was just being polite.

[@Street_French]

oh yeah that'd be great to hear what all of you sound like ^^

[@48Ballen]

what is the difference between Je t'adore. and Je t'aime in seriousness or meaning? when do you use these phrases?

[@Poussindesdomtom]

This is a tricky one! ^^ _"Je t'aime"_ is only used to express love (to the person who shares your life or your family) _"Je t'adore"_ is for really good friends you like a lot. I'm not sure but I think that's the same in english: don't focus on the meaning of those words. It actually depends a lot on who's saying it, how and in which situation. If a girl says to you _"Je t'adore"_ but she looks _"flirty"_ (you're the judge! ^^), it'll mean she wants more from you... Just never say _"je t'aime"_ to people you just like as friends (however, girls say sometimes _"je t'aime"_ to their female friends, especially teenagers, it's a girl thing! ^^). Also, never say: _"je t'aime bien"_ to someone, face to face, which means: _"I'm sorry, I like you a lot but..."_

J’ai une question à propos de ces Concours. Il me semble alors que ce n’est qu’après le bac qu’on se prépare pour passer les Concours, n’est-ce pas ? Comment s’appellent ces écoles préparatoires et font-elles partie des écoles normales comme des lycées ? Ou sont-elles plutôt des écoles à part où on va après avoir passé le bac et ça 2/3 ans pour s’y préparer ? Merci d’avance pour ta réponse ! (Et j’ai adoré la vidéo comme d’hab)

[@Street_French]

ah alors ça dépend des écoles/universités bien sûr. Mais quand un école/université a un concours, souvent il faut se préparer et aller dans des écoles préparatoires (on appelle ça une prépa). et ça peut être 1 à 2 ou 3 ans. ça dépend si c'est pour se préparer à un concours d'école de médecine ou une école d'art. et donc non ce n'est pas pendant le lycée mais bien après. j'espère que ça aide :)

aaah génial merciii !

[@bjoern.gumboldt]

@StreetFrench.org How about Diane Kruger? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmKYZ2t6ibpgl80 has her speaking English, French, and German. There's one entirely in French here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCWe5ecabl8e9U for a better comparison. I wouldn't go by the movies, as she sometimes (probably due to the role she plays) puts on quite the German accent. In the English interviews you'd really have to look for it and even then it's more like a "something is off" rather than a "German accent" when you notice it and it happens very rarely. Maybe in French it's her pauses that are a bit "can't quite place it" but it's close to a Jody Foster level if you ask me.

[@Street_French]

thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll definitely check those videos out :)
