I find French people intelligent and very inquisitive. They like to engage in conversations that would stir your brain and make an opinion out of it bec they don’t believe a person doesn’t have anything to say about a particular topic esp related to politics, economy, culture, arts, religion, global affairs etc. and so when a foreigner knows so much about France, they’d be so impress.
I had a great time with Morgane! Hope you guys enjoyed the video and Happy Holidays! 🎅 🎄
🥰🥳
We love you Christina! Merry Christmas 🌲☃️
You too Christina. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Hope you're doing well and take care yourself.

You need do a number of coop Videos with a german partner
Christina is such a free spirit. I like it when she smiles or laugh. It's genuine
She's my type 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸

Our French teacher taught us "Blodig Var Revolutionen" (Swedish for "Bloody Was the Revolution") to remember the order of the bands on the flag (Blue-White-Red).
She was very kind when she said how Americans are seen here in France x)
The Latin name of the rooster is Gallus gallus which was also the previous name of France. So it comes from an old joke that the Roman used to do to the Gaulish tribes
The joke is that roosters are very proud, the only bird ableto sing with feet on shit.
Roman said Gallus people were proud too
To all of you :
Merry / Happy Christmas 🇺🇲 🇬🇧 🇭🇲

We love you Christina!!!!!! Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you'll🥰🤍
Actually the french girl wanted to say the population is growing because of the immigrants lol) but Christina has soften the tension with the baby statement :) smart
True and not true. France have the highest fertility rate in europe.
@@ookayokay But it's still below 2 so without immigration the population would be shrinking.
As French. She's totally right. Plus with the immigration.
You see. We have the Best HealthCare system in the World. (The French Health insurance will cover all medical bills)
@@ookayokay fertility due to whom? :)
@@piritaklooster Half Europe took migrants. France rate was always higher. So that comparison is simply bad. Adding to that, for example in Greece the rate of babies from foreign born mothers is higher. And even if not, it's what I said: true and not true, who raised the fertility rate doesn't change the fact that it's higher whatsoever.
Merry Christmas everyone

Oh yes, the original version. This is how it was looking before 1858.

@@dan__11 from Rome. I'm a royalist since I was a kid. I reached the monarchist office in Rome by bike wearing shorts. Now I'm nearly 50 yo.
The crown prince of italy (rappresentative of "Malta knights" and " Pirelli" brand in Moscow) got from president Putin the knighthood of the "order of friendship". By the way "Nicholas l" was an ancestor also for the crown prince of italy, I checked his family tree in Wikipedia.
I'm pro Russia too! I dislike NATO and the American imperialism.
For 25 years I was a "guard of honor" at the royal tombs of Rome (monument Pantheon). Best greetings.

The reason why the rooster became one of the symbols of France appears to be purely linguistic, and trivially refers to the Latin word gallus, which means both Gaulish and cockerel.
This misunderstanding, however, is entirely incidental and does not concern the animal: the Romans in fact, had only borrowed the word Γαλάται (Galatai) that the ancient Greeks used to identify the Celtic populations with whom they had come into contact.
Today this animal, which is said not to be liked by Napoleon, is found on roofs and bell towers (used as a weather vane) or on monuments to the fallen.
I thought it was a rooster because roosters are basically chickens, and chickens are symbols of cowardice, something the French are too familiar with during wartimes.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 this is one opinion, just your opinion, not a fact, not history.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 yeah, if you have no idea about history ... but we make fun of that all the time with French even if we know that it is not true :)
@@lissandrafreljord7913 chicken and roosters are Mars animal.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 In fact that's why French have the most won battles in history because the english kept losing to France and got kicked so hard out of France and Europe by a peasant girl. That since then they were fleeing every conflict staying on their swampy island paying mercenaries with ressources plundered in rich colonies like India to do the warring for them and imagined propaganda to erase the memory of their humiliation of 1066 destroying their language that now contains 50% French words and making england the first French colony with French kings ruling over it for centuries that despised these awful lands (so much that Richard Lionheart born in France visited the country he was king off twice in all his life and lived in southern France speaking an writing poems in Occitan and old French even insulting his peasant english subjects in them) even the motto of Uk to this day is in French and written on Uk passport "Dieu et mon Droit" "Honi soi qui mal y pense" and even worse for the fragile british ego, modern english people have 75% French DNA 😂🥰.

The only reason I might be hesitant about a capital is that in the Americas, the largest and most famous city is rarely the capital.
Washington DC is a major metro area, but it's not a patch on NYC, LA, or Chicago. Canada's biggest city is Toronto, by a pretty substantial margin, but the national capital? Ottawa. Brazil's biggest city? São Paulo. The next biggest city? Tourist magnet Rio de Janeiro. The capital is the third largest city, Brasília, which was purpose built to be the national capital. Heck, over in Oceania, Australia's biggest and most famous cities are Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and Canberra is all the way down at number 6.
Capital of Mexico is Ciudad de Mexico...
ok but "the largest and most famous city is rarely the capital"? did you forget there are countries like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Panama, Costa rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, for example? What does Oceania even have to do with this? Not very far from Australia there is Papua new Guinea that's capital, Port Moresby, I believe is its biggest city.
@@kumivene7769 In Europe, the largest city is quite likely the capital as well. One of the few exceptions is Switzerland, which doesn't even have a capital. Another one is Scotland, which isn't even an independent country. In all the other European countries, the largest city is the capital.
@@Nikioko bro I wasn't even talking to you but the original commenter who said the biggest city is rarely the capital of the country in the Americas which is ignorant and false. He only gave three exceptions that happen to be the biggest countries by area over there as well as the most well known. There are 35 countries in the Americas and most of those have their biggest city as the capital. Sorry for responding late lol.
Too cute!!
Fun fact, at first the color of the French flag were inverted going red white and blue. It lasted from 1790 to 1794 and from then the order was as we know it (with a variant of blue red white appearing for a few days at some point).
As a Texan, I thought it was kind of funny that she kept putting her hand in front of her mouth when she laughed. Y’all need to get somebody from the south on the show. 😂
It's a habit that she's picked up from where she lives, South Korea. It's a common thing that women do in Japan and South Korea.

The story behind it. Goes back in the Roman Empire. Used to be called "Gaul"

Christina's laughter makes me happy :)
The reason why rooster is the representative animal is because roman emperors used to call us roosters 2000 years ago.
Rooster is "Gallo" in latin, France was called "Gallia", litteraly "the land of the roosters".
The zoological taxon of chicken is Gallus gallus domesticus.
Well Romans called the land Gallia because they loved the colors of the the Gauloise dorée or Golden Gaul Rooster in Gaul and being one of the few Chicken species that can fly over 30 meters at 5-6 meters height because it retained part of it's wilderness and represented well the spirit of the people as they were as proud and combative as roosters that's why it's mostly used in sports.
@@ommsterlitz1805 I'm afraid not. That's a folk etymology. The actual origin is that one of the Celtic tribes the Romans encountered referred to themselves as "Gall(at)i", which was a common term used by various Celtic people to refer to themselves as. There are so many places called "Galatia" or something along those lines scattered across Europe for this very reason.
So a cockerel being the symbol of France is basically a pun.
@@talideon Well still the Franks/French made so many references to it, it became a symbol even if it's based on assumptions the Golden rooster of Gaul have many traits that leads to this conclusion, of monarchs and nobles of Gaul/Francia/France loved so much the qualities of the local animal that they made it the symbol of their country

Hey, you. Yes, YOU. The person reading that comment. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a great holidays😊🤗🎄❄️
There is a running gag that says the french representative animal is the only bird that sings on a pile of manure, which is quite adequate actually. 😅😂🤣
Love from India 🇮🇳🇺🇲🇫🇷👍
I loved the subtle "damn, she's nuts" look from the French girl when Christina admitted to not following the news.
You can fill any color first and then cover up the mistake by perspective
By the way, it's EiFFel tower.
knowing about world politics and the news is important to know. this way you have a basic idea of what is going on in the world. even if it is stressful
Yep it's important to stay informed, just don't do it everyday to avoid depression...
I enjoyed
Christina is so cool .. Wouldn't mind being her friend .. 😉
Paris is indeed not a country. Paris and the Parisian Region actually account for 12 million out of the 67 million inhabitants of France, but that still leaves 55 million people who live in the other parts of the country, which is the largest one in the European Union (approximately the size of Texas); so there's a lot more to discover than just Paris.
The French girl is so pretty
Oh yeah I confirm the majority of french girls are pretty in general
Pretty women 💞
Pretty talk 🤗
Mr. Macarron hahahahwhwhwh!!! LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 🙏
3:44 she was going to say "immigrants" but Christina saved her
I'm a huge fan of the french culture which once spread throughout Europe during Napoleon's reign. Nowadays France is but a shadow of its former self. They let immigrants harm them and their culture. The government makes origional french people suffer. There's a dilemma over how to protect France and its culture and at the same time not to be acused of discrimination against immigrants.
You got to France it is just africans everywhere nowadays
@REAL PARIS Few ten of thousand of people per year a replacement and a genocide ? Come on !
She could have talk about it because it is true that our population is groing mainly due to immigration and at the same time without this "great replacement" nonsense.
Bring Morgan on more videos
The French girl seems nice! I could see both her and Christina become friends!
I really need to see to go see Christina. The French Girl should have brought some chocolates. It's part our etiquette to bring something like cheese, wine

Could you do this with the spanish girl? I feel like it would hurt myself a lot...
Can you please do some English and French videos
France population is actually going up thanks to immigration. For a self sustaining population you need 2.1 babies per woman and in France it's more around 1.6 or 1.7 and it's dropping like in most over European countries
No, it's not around 1.6. It is 1.87, the highest in the EU.
And not only thanks to immigration but also thanks to a social system that protect womens and allow them to have children without losing their job, continuing to get paid and so on also a lot of financial help for families with many children, the more you have children the more money you receive
Non assimilated immigration is not keeping french culture alive. Rather the opposite. I don't understand why you write "thanks to immigration" You could simply write a more neutral "because of".
I love this
Interesting video with two beautiful women :) Man, I would love to invite the french girl to a coffee ^^
Any country's animal can be eaten if you try hard enough. :P
Very funny 😂😂😂😂
Je suis Américaine. I’ve never met anyone who thinks Paris is a country. Paris is also a popular name for girls in the USA so I’m sure most Americans know it’s a city. In fact we have discussions about Paris. If there is a stereotype most of us don’t know Paris is a city then it should be pointed out French people particularly Parisians also have a reputation among us Americans. I’ve had many discussions with fellow Americans about their experiences in visiting France and my encounters with French tourists in my travels in Africa.
I only pay attention to French presidents because of tabloid scandals. The current one they say started hooking up with his wife at age 15 when she was married with kids. 😳
Well, I am American and loads of people in the Midwest think Paris is its own country in Europe near France and London! The majority knows better but an inordinate number of people, people with a college education, make that mistake!
Macron and his wife literally have the same age difference as trump and melania... But I guess people are just chocked when it is the woman who's older. Such a strange concept to care about a president's private life though
@@monolap222 @Molly Petersen Hi of course I 100% agree about the power dynamic, and I would absolutely never say men can't be assaulted, that's such an absurd and awful thing to say.
It wasn't made clear in my comment but I was only talking about their age difference, because there had been so much talking about brigitte macron when macron got president. It was so recurrent, she was mocked on the internet and bolsonaro even made a joke about her looks... That it so disgusting and sexist and that's why I was a bit annoyed by the previous comment and wanted to make the parallel, even though I'm actually not sure that was what the person meant.
I do agree that people would be more critical if the genders were switched, though I would not say it is infantilising women : it is just caused by context. Men get assaulted, and more than people would think, but I looked up for stats and women are responsible for 3-5% of sexual assaults. The way we educate boys just leads them to assault more, that's it. But yes the problem here is pure power dynamic, which I agree is not healthy.
Yeah I'm French and she's alone on that one, we don't have a stereotype that Americans think Paris is a country. They do have a reputation of being terrible at geography though
I m french and, for the current president, he get married with his teacher ( so strange from my point of view
😅😅😅)
I thought that there were more people in France. California has 40 million, and just Tokyo alone has 14 million. I'm not sure if I would have guessed the French flag color order correctly, but I could have flipped the paper upside down if I got it wrong. I also would not have guessed the national animal correctly. Morgane is delightful, and Christina is always charming and fun! More videos please...
Wanna hear something cool.
Did you know our country 🇫🇷 used to be a Monarchy like UK.
Do these symbols mean anything to you ? ⚜️⚜️⚜️
Yeah European countries in general are not very populated. France with its 67M people is the 3rd most populated country in Europe and 2nd in the EU. You gotta realize: Europe is pretty small, plus they were at war for nearly all of the 20th century. A total of close to 70M people died in the 2 world War.
By the way, the questions were really a bit complicated. The population of the country? I have a good knowledge of geography, but I can only say the population of my country, and maybe China? Because it is the first in terms of population.
A national animal? I don't know any of them at all.
Questions about the flag and the capital are not so difficult. But even then, half of the flags in Europe consist of three colors in different sequences, and it is very easy to confuse even the Europeans themselves.
Anyway, merry Christmas to everyone. And a lot of love from Russia.
Merry Christmas to you as well
🇫🇷🤝🇷🇺
Then I'm sorry for your level of education
I feel like in France people are able to answer most of these questions very easily at least I do for most of them. Maybe not all countries population but at least The US China India Germany Italy France Obviously and that's pretty much it to be honest...but the flags come on !National animals too ! Just think sports team
@@kaderbueno6823 Oh, forgive me for my stupidity. Apparently you know the population of all 200-odd countries from all over the world? I know the approximate population of India, USA, China, and Russia. But I do not consider this a criterion of education. When I was 12, I could list you all the countries, their capitals, and describe the flags. But I don't think I was more educated at 12 than at 32.
I spoke in defense of Christina because everyone says that Americans are stupid and don't understand geography. And I say, if you approach a person on the street and ask what the population is, for example, Switzerland, or Spain, no one will tell you that. People are not encyclopedias to keep these numbers in themselves.
It's another thing to ask famous cities, famous people, some cultural peculiarities. At the same time, I'm not criticizing the list of questions, I'm just saying that few people will be able to answer the question about the number of people in the country.
But apparently in your world, the level of education is determined precisely by the knowledge of the number of the country's population and sports teams. And since I'm not into sports, and Christina, for example, doesn't watch the news, it means we have a pathetic level of education.
P.s. At least: Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and I do not know which other countries have a tricolor flag with white, blue, and red (in different order). Yes, if you try, you can remember the flag of France, it is quite popular, but even the girl in the video says that people often confuse the location of the colors of the flag. Which is what I'm talking about in my comment.
@@Doctor.Whommm I think the person you replied to didn’t notice that you were Russian. Anyway, no need to get worked up over some stranger’s opinion, enjoy the holidays!
@@jomana1109 Thanks. Happy holidays to you too!))
I admit that I was a little intemperate, I was just hooked on how easily my level of education was "determined" by a couple of lines. But you are completely right.
Wow, the French girl has a great charisma. And beautiful too :o P.S. yeeeh~ I got all the questions right 🙂
the first national emblem was in fact red white blue. In 1790. The second, in 1794, has the same color scheme as ours today.
Great video as always! I would like you guys to make a video about Mexico as well :)
DO THE SAME WITH ITALY🇮🇹
University is not free if you earn enough to pay it or for master for exemple. But it is far lower than in USA, like 500 euros per year at most.
French guy here: in France, we say the rooster is our emblem because it's the only animal able to sing even with both his feet stuck in sh*t
2:28 same with Bali, some people think Bali is a country smh
Tahiti as well
In France we say that our representative animal is a rooster because it is the only animal able to sing while stepping is shit, it is a joke obviously.
3:46 she wanted to say because of immigration
rooster because it sing at the sunrise and thats the time who people wake up and go to work in the campains
Cockerel surely? Le coq sportif on their sports jerseys
In France we said the rooster is our emblem because :
- the rooster is the only animal that can sing with its feet in shit
Fun fact, "Joyeux Noël" in french literally translate to "Happy Yule" or "Happy new Sun" and not "Merry Christmas", because it is a pagan fest that was used to be called "Noio Hel", an equivalent fest of Yule.
As French. True. Not only that
Never really though about the fact that you French people were pagans like us...
But sure, the Asterix comics should have been a hint... *_God Jul_* (=Good Yule), from Sweden.
@@herrbonk3635 most people in europe were pagans before christianity took over,pagan is a categorisation of the church to differentiate themselves from the others. Wether it was in Greece,Poland,Italy,France or Sweden(etc..) we all had different pantheons (sometimes they were related but thats beside the point). For exemple in the begining in France we worshiped gods like Teutatès (like in asterix lol) or Cernunnos.Then the Romans took over and paired our gods with theirs, so we also worshiped Roman gods for a while.
If we really get into it we could even say that some gods of the germanic pantheon were worshiped in France with the arrival of the Franks,some worshiped Donar (Thor) or Wotan (Odin)
Anyway, hope you have nice holidays. Joyeux Noël from France!
@@MrTrip2fun Indeed, thanks!
Noël come from Natalis in Latin
Representative animal of France? Gallus gallus. Fitting to Gaul or Gallia.
I am neither French nor American but I could have answered them all ..maybe I am a nerd...
First
3:10 It is basic knowledge XD
Now I wish the president of France was called Mr. Macaron!
But why a rooster for France? To know how this emblem was born, you have to go back to Antiquity. At that time, the Romans made fun of the Gauls (gaulois in french) because of a linguistic coincidence, because in Latin the word gallus means Gaul (gaulois en français)... but also rooster!
Over time, the kings of France adopted the rooster for its courage and bravery. During the Revolution, it became the symbol of the people and the state: it appeared on the currency. Napoleon preferred the eagle, emblem of imperial Rome, but the bird of prey did not impose itself on France for long.
Today, the French rooster can be found almost everywhere: on stamps or at the entrance to the Elysée Palace. It is even worn by the French football, rugby and handball teams and by Olympic Selection athletes.
It's the rooster because even with the two feet in the shit it's still singing
Yeah basically it say that we are annoying :')
Absolutely not. It shows the pride of the rooster. Une telle inculture est sidérante, tu ne connais même pas ton propre pays.
@@AttackTheGasStation1 j'ai appris ça en cours dit pas que je connais pas mon pays
@@lira1557 C’est faux. L’histoire du coq qui chante encore quand il a les pattes dans la merde, c’est pour montrer à quel point c’est un animal fier qui garde la tête haute même en situation pénible.

The United States and France are Close Allies
The closeness of the military, economic, and political cooperation form the basis of the enduring partnership. The United States has counted on France as a close partner since the very foundation of the country.😄😄😄😄
haha economic, compare taxes
As French 🟦⬜🟥. Indeed. Our country is the First and Oldest American's Ally since 1780 helped them getting their Independance.
That was in the past/before. Nowaydays, we're not closed ally.
I would say, economically, our closest ally and partner it's our neighbor's Germany
🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪
Sorry, but if two regimes of a country are related does not say anything. Political ties are nothing to a real friendship what every human in the world can have. Make friends because you like them and not because your government serves the other.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 For sure, I would say the UK and Germany are France's closest allies
Americans forgot that France greatly helped USA during its revolution... as the USA helped France during both WW. Both country embodying liberty and freedom values... they are natural allies.
In the US, the largest city in a state is usually *not* the capital (though sometimes it is, just usually not), and Washington, DC isn't our biggest city by a long shot either, so since we know that Paris is the biggest city in France there's this little niggling feeling in the back of our minds that since it's the biggest, it must not be the capital.
3:32 Actually it is 67 :p
I had no idea the animal was a rooster! I thought it was a lion or something lol
I can say that I also learned about France today. I had not idea of the population! Thought it was close to 120K!! And I really thought you would ask how many cheeses were made in France----They are so good at cheese!!
And Good Wine as well. They're local products
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 That seems obvious!! So many wonderful delights from France!!
How many cheeses are made in France ? This is a really, really hard question. That number varies depending on which organization is conducting the investigation and to add to the already difficult task, some cheeses "disappear" and get replaced by new ones every year.
To give a number, it is esteemed that France has around 1400 different cheeses across the whole nation. But that number is fluctuating by the hundreds following the explanation above.
120 000 ? It is a bit low :p
You realize "K" means thousand right?
