It is always complicated to speak slowy (i mean clearly atriculated words) when your are a native speaker. because it is extremly rare to see someone who can says at least some words in french, so a lot of the french people doesn't know how slowy we must talk to non-native speaker.

[@Hepad_]

It's a latin language, after all.

[@ghirahimlefabuleux8984]

Portuguese and French are both Latin languages so they share a lot of similar words because both were based on the Latin version of said words. Words are not what makes French difficult is the ridiculously numerous tenses that each have different forms based on both the person, the mood, the group in which the verb belongs in and the arbitrary exceptions. Additionally it probably is one of the latin language with the most arbitrary grammatical rules all with at least a dozen nonsensical exceptions that obey their own rules. This of course affects entire sentences because of other rules that each have specific conditions to uphold to if another rule is at play. Add to that accent and other weird stuff like this: eéèêëcçaàâáoœöôuù that determine how you should pronounce a sylable (except when it don't thanks to exceptions). Non spoken consonants that you can't identify without knowing them of course, every word being male or female and having rules that determine how you should write your articles or even certain verbes (good luck figuring out which mid conversation if you are not native) and a lot other types of words as well as prepositions that obey their own set of rules, which are of course depending on what other types of words you use etc. And add to that a really weird pronounciation style for a latin based language. All that with even more exceptions of course. French is very easy in appearance and can easily be understood by other latin based language speakers but what makes it hard to actually speak is the amount of BS rules you have to go through to actually make a semi grammatically correct sentence that is above a basic level. Having actually researched a bit on the latin languages I am not familiar with, I actually found that french seems like a weird grammatical hybrid of a lot of notions that are more developed in other languages and is especially good (or bad depending on your point of view) at making every single one of these systems dependants of one another but almost nonsensical in their execution.

Et j'ai pas entendu parler du centre spatial Toulouse Matabiau ???

[@MegaSnackeater]

Hey Barbs! Great video, and I really appreciate the effort to speak French (which you did really well!). However, I'd like to point out a few things. First of all, you can say capital and not préfecture, as the latter describes the administrative center of a département, and not a région. A région is comprised of multiple départements. Second, the picture you used for Toulouse is actually a picture of Albi. Third, Normandy didn't have nothing to do with France back when they conquered England as they were vassals under the king of France (just like Provence for example). Fourth, it is said that Guyane is very diverse because it has many "Amerindians, Creoles, French, Blacks". However "French" is not an ethnicity. All of the guyanais are French regardless of their ancestors (this mistake is only in the subtitles, not the the French presentation). Last, your way of breaking down the regional cultures, though understandable to distinguish one from the other, seems to give the impression of a really shattered France, superficially united by a central power. I am a French, born from parents from Brittany and Alsace, two very proud regions. However, the regional pride is not in opposition from the national one, it is complementary. Yes, independentist movements existed decades ago, but the remains of them are so minor, that describing both regions by it seems misgiving (if you tell an Alsacian that he is more German than French, even though his ancestors spoke Alsacian (a germanic language) and not French like himself, he won't like you very much). We are all French, attached to our regional cultures and proud of the regional diversity of our country. However, thank you very much for this focus on our beautiful regions!

[@don_p7546]

Isn't French an ethnicity and a nationality? The nationality referring to everyone who is born in France or has a nationality of the country, while the ethnicity refers the white 'indiginous' population of France if you will. I'm not sure though but since German is also an ethnicity, i thought this would be too.

[@MegaSnackeater]

@@don_p7546 I'd say yes and no. Yes because you can take someone's DNA and, thanks to our knowledge of which group lived where, figure out only from this if he's of "French" origins or not. However no, because surprisingly, France (even metropolitan French) is much more ethnically diverse than most other european countries (Italy, Germany, Hungary, etc). For example, the people of Brittany (west of France) are more descendants from the celtic people of Scotland and Ireland (because the celts invaded the land in the fifth century) than of the Gauls, who are typically referred to as the "ethnic base" of the French. Another example is the north of France, which is ethnically closer to flemish, another germanic subgroup. Last example of this non exhaustive list, is the French basque, who not only ethnically have much more in common with the Spanish basque, but additionally, have very little in common with any other French or Spanish ethnic group. As such German is a much more unified ethnicity than French is. What unites us however, is our French culture, history, pride and feeling of belonging to the same country, people and destiny.

Ich stamme aus dem Elsass und verstehe nicht wieso müssen Elsässer als Deutschen betrachtet werden nur weil sie eine germanische Kultur haben. Kann man auch Luxemburg, Österreich, der deutschsprachige Teil von Belgien, Liechtenstein und der deutschsprachige Teil von der Schweiz als deutsche Territorien bezeichnen? Nein, die haben eine germanische aber sind nicht zwangsweise deutsch! Verstehen Sie mich bitte nicht falsch, ich habe die Deutschen und Deutschland sehr gerne. Aufgrund dieser Region-Reforme fühle ich mich sehr beleidigt, da man nie nach der Meinung der Elsässer darüber gefragt hat.

2:57 That's Charles the Bold (1433-1477), but in French he said "Charles the Bald" who was a much earlier, Frankish king. You must have slipped him the script but he got the names of the kings in English mixed up.

Charles le Chauve (823-877) was the grandson of Charlemagne. Charles le Téméraire (1433-1477) was the last duke of Burgundy and the grandfather of Charles Quint (king of Spain). There are too many Charles in this story ^^.

An interesting thing about Nice is that it also was part of Italy until the second half of the 19 th century. Its name was Nizza and Garibaldi was from here.The population was principally Italian and it was given by the Italian government to France in exchange for militar help. Nowadays not many people speak Italian anymore but its history and culture remained Italian actually longer than Corsica. Thank you for the educational content, would you like to do the same video about the regions of Italy? I think it would be really interesting and could show the truly different characteristics of every part of Italy!

[@quentinorganero186]

Principaly occitan

[@andrybazab]

@@quentinorganero186 Obviously no language as Italian was widely spoken in the area as , let's say, in modern Italy. The niçard dialect of Nice was considered by many linguists as a transitional language between the occitan and the Ligurian( in fact in the proximal area of Italy to France the dialect is very different from standard Italian and much more similar to occitan). It is nonetheless true that the language of government, according to Wikipedia, was Italian since the 16th century and that the city used to partecipate in italian History , having as its center the city of Genoa, today in Italy. At the moment of its giveaway to France then the city was a part of the Reign of Sardinia , governed by the house of Savoy , the founder of the State of Italy and its former king. In pills so we can say that Nice or Nizza was in the nucleus of modern Italy and already more Italian than other cities and regions of today's Italy. In particular when we think of Italian as a matter of identity more than language or culture , people of Nice felt much more bound to the kingdom of Sardinia and the Italian area more than to France, having shared for centuries common history. Furthermore the language of culture was also Italian, with newspapers, education, books, theaters in Italian. Naturally its belonging to France is nowadays righteous and the Italian population has reduced over time. However still today an Italian community exists , with their own newspaper and cultural activities.
