She speaks too slowly to be Parisian in my opinion. Casual French in Paris to me sounds like twice as fast and agglutinated, and if they mix it up with slang and verlan it just becomes undecipherable for somebody who barely understands some spoken French.
Exactly the blond lady, very snob, gets the “en”go longer. They also pronounce the “o” very deeply when in going south you say them more like “a”. Putain is used widely across France, not Parisians exclusively.
Caroline Perret that’s true. But maybe this snob accent is espacially regarded as the most typical and authentique parisian accent because it is the most recognizable accent amongst the others you have around and in the capital. In France as in England, there is a standard French accent spoken in the media (from Paris) also spoken in some other provinces. But the accent spoken by this lady is somehow typical from Paris but it is not the majority accent. On the whole, this accent is a caricature, the one you think about when your hear « parisian accent » when your are French from somewhere else than Paris, just like londoner posh accent in the UK.
@@думатьиначе The London accent is not considered posh. The most neutral English accent comes from Surrey, to the west of London, and is closest to what you will hear on the major television channels. Some might consider a Surrey accent to be posh.
Kernow I know mate. In London there are different accents like Cockney accent (working class), the received prononciation (RP - the « BBC’s accent »), and the one I call « posh accent », etc. I don’t know about Surrey accent, perhaps I should check it out, but in wealthy neighbourhoods such as Chelsea, this « posh accent » (or Surrey accent) is spoken.
the differences between accents of Paris and "banlieue" (suburbs) are mostly social. Rich suburbs like Versailles / St germain en Laye / Neuilly sur Seine have the same way of talking than (rich) parisians districts opposed to poor paris districts / and banlieues (composed with immigrants).
Le monsieur de 2:20, il a l'air sage et gentil: ) Il dit quelque choses beaux: à paris le fainçais ça coule comme l'eau; Le parisien est comme un oiseau 😂; Il faut rester comme on est et parler le français comme on est. On est tous parisiens!
@@MichMichFoot En fait, il y a plusieurs accents à Paris...j'ai une copine du 7ème...elle ne parle pas comme la jeune femme de 3:28...c'est un accent plus bourgeois, sans trop l'être non plus...il y a plein de nuances...et puis y a le parigo le plus prolo..."gouailleur" qui, me semble-t-il, est en train de disparaître, gentrification oblige...

Merci bien pour ce petit mot!

Dans ce sens, c'est plutôt un aperçu sociolinguistique et moins une réponse définitive. En fin de compte, de très beaux propos je pense :-)
@@donaldsoncd Salut Coleman. Merci pour la video. On a beaucoup entendu que les parisiens ils sont toujours préssés. Alors, pour les étrangers, ou bien pour les non-parisiens, comment peut-on engager/commencer une conversation avec les parisiens? Est-ce que c'était dificile pour toi à interroger des parisiens sur la rue?
C’est comme le RP (received pronounciation) en anglais, ou l’anglais « pur britannique ». Je suis de Marseille et on me dit « t’as l’accent toi ». Oui mais toi aussi mdr. Un accent c’est une variation de prononciation d’une langue et même la prononciation standard, qu’elle soit majoritaire ou à valeur symbolique, c’est un accent car c’est également une variation de la langue.
in Mexico, they use a lot of “chacal” or “chacales” and it’s slang for dudes or guys so it’s cool to see that being used even in french

The best way to know if someone is from Paris (but really from there, like born there) is when they talk about other cities saying ‘la province’ ou ‘les provinciaux’ 👀 The others words are said everywhere else in France.
I’m here to understand and catch up how French people communicate in actual life. I’ve been studying French with my dad for about 3 months, He teaches me some of grammars, conjugaisons and vocabularies but never have he speak with me in French or in normal words, I’ve never focused on listen and how to speak in French. I got a test and got into French class last two days. I received A24 which means in Elementary but the first day totally made me panicked!!!! I didn’t really understand what the teacher said (she’s a French native speaker) and like i told you, i don’t really know how to reply back!! I felt so upset to be honest. Right now,I’m struggling to study and improve more on listen and learn how to speak that’s why i’m here. So if you read til this... mind telling me some tips to be better in French? I’d love to hear from you guys! Merci beaucoup
Yes, I learned French very late in life, at 25, and I mostly started by getting used to the language, without really caring much to understand all (I listened a lot of radio, mostly France Culture). Then the best you can do is to watch a French series with subtitles (I advise you "Call my Agent" in Netflix) and try to catch and write down expressions and tricky words. As for the grammar, really, you have to leave it to when you will have a good grasp of the language, otherwise it will demotivate you.
@@christophelevel3666 hey, do you like watching real french movie with subtitles? I have them in my collection to help you improve your French and knowing their current slangs
It seemed to me that every interviewed person had a different accent and intonation of their very own, so I personally couldn't appreciate what makes Parisian french different :P
L'accent parisien existe, ça s'appelle le "titi parisien". Le meilleur exemple, c'est la comédienne Arletty. C'est un accent populaire, ouvrier, qui est en voie de disparition. On l'entend rarement aujourd'hui. Si vous allez dans les grandes brasseries, vous trouvez parfois des serveurs qui parlent parisien. Mais c'est vraiment une façon de parler qui est en train de disparaître.
Rolandcassar. Il y avait plusieurs accents à Paris. Celui dont vous faites allusion, celui des faubourgs (Arletty, Maurice Chevalier…), mais aussi celui des bourgeois (Giscard d’Estaing)…
Merci beauoup d'avoir fait cette video... Je suis un étranger qui habite à Bruxelles, et je viens de commencer mes cours de Français, donc je ne connais pas beaucoup de mots, mais avec vous j'ai appris pas seulement des neuveux mots, mais aussi la manière comment la Parisiens parlent :), et je trouve cela très cool
@@paulzor043 mais on est d'accord, sa manière de parler est plutôt garessive, les parisiens parlent peut-être vite mais ils prononcent les consonnes plus doucement
He spoke in a very identifiable midi accent claiming there is no accent with a little smile on the corner of the mouth, he was kidding with coleman 100%.
@@zied6456 Later in the video he says that in paris people often mistake his accent for the south western accent (he speaks with a south eastern accent, but not a typical "accent marseillais" either, south eastern accents are various too but if you grew up there it's obvious)
Non pas spécialement. L'accent "parigot", c'est à dire l'accent "titi" consiste à parler avec le nez et à terminer les phrases voire beaucoup de mots par un "euh" traînant très caractéristique. Mais il faut écouter les gens qui sont nés à Paris et banlieue proche, pas la multitude des parisiens qui sont en fait nés en province.
1:48 voilà exactement comment parle une personne parisienne (un peu bourgeoise) qui a vécu toute sa vie à Paris. Vous avez votre réponse. Sa façon de prononcer "parisienne"... ou "du nooord" à 2:41". Au delà de ça, à une époque il y avait la gouaille parisienne qui était vraiment l'accent des faubourgs (Arletti, Mistinguette etc.). Aujourd'hui, les vrais parisiens sont rares et l'accent parisien un peu disparu.
What's the guy at 9:02 said is really true. As a french I've never really saw that for a long time, but when I traveled and come back to Paris, it's obvious that Paris is a multicultural city. So no, we don't have a particular accent but you can see the utilization of particular words or slang. But if you go outside of Paris and Surrounding region, you can hear a lot of differences in intonations. The best known being the typically northern and southern accent it will be difficult to understand for a foreigner I think.
My favorite was the man from an island, really helpful because we hear so many things about going to Paris. I'm about to just start learning French, so excited!
Thanks for the kind words, Nicholas! We're doing two videos a month right now but hope to get enough support to be able to offer worksheets that go with each episode. If that's something you are interested in then think about becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/easyfrench :-)
Personnellement je n'entends pas de différence entre mon accent et ledit "accent parisien". En province aussi les gens disent "putain", "en fait", "du coup" etc... Je ne pense pas que Paris ait un accent particulier. Après pour le comportement social et l'attitude c'est autre chose.
I loved this video! The last line cracked me up!!! "Moi je suis Américain, ça arrive !" hahahahaha As a foreigner in Paris that is the perfect statement LOL !!!!
@@aldairmarroquin4184 The interviewer is American and his accent was far less apparent. Her use of only 3 words is probably indicative of her fluency and thus more prominent accent.
I've been a Parisian for 30 years, and I can tell you : the girl at 4:57 has the most "Parisian" accent and intonation of all. When you talk, it's like you sound like the smell of a fresh dog pound on the macadam that's been walked upon under the rain, and that's been soaked in exhaust gaz from early morning.
If you wanna hear pure traditionnal parisian accent, I recommend to you to watch videos from french TV during 70's/80's (INA, a public managed youtube channel, provides some very interesting videos about social issues and trends back in those days. Institut national de l'audiovisuel for I.N.A.)
INA is so important, you may not know how much. Not all countries or even languages have the material on the internet available like they do on UA-cam.
I am french but not from Paris, and I can say that most of the expressions that I heard during the video are used as well in the rest of the country. I think that there is not really a parisian accent.
C'est la femme blonde 3:37 qui l'explique bien. D'origine anglophone je faisait mon année immersive à Paris dans la 7me. Un jour la mère et fils de la famille gentille qui m'a accueilli, m'a fait une démonstration de "l'accent 16me", très rigalo. Un peu exagéré, ça avait l'aire d'un snob d'Angleterre qui essaient de parler français. À l'autre extrême, l'accent des quartiers dans le nord-est de Paris que j'appelle "l'accent gangster". Plein de mots que je ne comprend pas. Cet accent là est dans les films où les criminals parlent entre eux. Après 9 mois à Paris, j'ai fait un week-end à Genève: En bavardant dans la rue avec un monsieur Suisse français, il m'a dit tout de suite, "Vous êtes de Paris, monsieur" . J'étais vraiment flatté. Oui, il y a des accents de Paris !
The accent of Paris is really really different of the accent from South of France (sound more like italian for me). The Parisian accent is the "standardic" accent, it's a bit precious (especially with the rich peoples lol)
Thank you for this video. I am so happy to see there is a new video in this playlist. It helps me to study French quite easily. Please keep making new videos, we are following you
This is so weird because once, some people told me that French people were incredibly racist and they don't even respond to you if you don't speak French. And the language French was always a "never" to me. But i met French people in an online game and most of them were so sweet and friendly, just like the people in this video. So i decided to learn French and visit Paris someday. I hope i can make it. And if i do, i wanna be in one of these videos. :)
Tulin : yes, that was a valuable lesson for you . If you hear anyone generalizing about a whole Nation or Race then you know they are idiots ..! Trust me ..!!
Merci pour le vidéo ! C'est une coïncidence parce qu'il y a deux ou trois jours je cherchais les vidéos sur les accents françaises ! Il me semble que vous parlez très bien, pas trop d'accent américain - avez-vous vit longtemps en France ?
C'est cool que la vidéo t'a plu! Ouais, en dehors du français à l'école, j'ai vécu plus ou moins trois ans à Paris et trois ans en en Afrique francophone donc l'ensemble m'a beaucoup aidé ! :-)
Oh they speak so quickly, as the one guy said they garble. My French teacher told me that the perfect French was spoken in Toulouse. I wish I could freeze the conversation so that I could read the translation as I go along!
lol, i dont know how your teacher could say such thing : Toulouse has a particularly strong accent with many slangs and gramatically incorrect expressions which makes it a particularly awful and ugly french. One of the worst with Marseille (the south) and dunkerque (north). IT is largely admitted that the area with the least accent is around Tours.
Bonjour... You guys should make a video how french people can differentiate the genders in things...Like we say "La Voiture" and "Le Stylo"....How can they say which one is masculine and feminine ...There is a serious demand for this question... Bonne Journee
If you want to know what is the true Parisian accent you need to watch some old french movies trailers of the 40, 50, 60s,. Because today, there's no more true Parisians who live in Paris and are born in Paris and their parents and gran parents too, you see? Now intramural Paris is mainly inhabited by bourgeois from the provinces but also many wealthy foreigners. The French capital is no longer affordable for the working class that populated Paris about 60 or 70 years ago. One built the suburbs all around Paris to let the center capital welcome the wealthiest people. To hear the real Parisian accent, then listen to Edith Piaf sing or listen to Jackie Sardou (actress) or Jean-Paul Belmondo (actor) in his first films in black and white or Michel Audiard or also Arletty (actress) to speak. There, you can really get an idea of what is the Parisian accent, also called accent "pointu", with this particular way of dragging on certain syllables and accelerating on others, this intonation a little nasal, how they pronounce the "a" at the end of a word, etc. ;)
On serait ravis d'en faire dans les vidéos prochaines ! Actuellement, on est train de relancer Easy French donc pense à devenir un "patron" si tu es aussi pressé que nous d'avoir un épisode chaque semaine :-) Sinon, quel accent ou parler t'intéresserait le plus pour une prochaine vidéo ?
@@donaldsoncd oh je suis pauvre. J'ai même pas une carte de crédit, mais j'ai écouté plusieurs fois que l'accent du Sud-Ouest est très mignon est sexy. ça serait chouette. Pardonnez-moi de ne pas pouvoir vous aider. Je serais vraiment ravi de le faire.
Fabulous. I just found you. Subscribing. As an American who has taught herself French (I want mine to be as good as yours, dang!) the guy at 2:10 nailed it for me and what my ears here. I have friends from all over French and I think the Parisians definitely have their own accent.
Il n'a pas un, mais plusieurs accents parisiens. Pour un bon exemple il faut entendre parler l'actrice Camille Cottin, elle a l'un des accents typiquement parisiens.
Most people think their language is standard and everyone else has the "accent" lol. I like what the guy in the yellow uniform at the end said, about the charm of Paris in terms of language : )

@@lalainaramarivelo You're completely wrong unless maybe you spend your whole time in the 16th district. The dude at the end is a Parisian and he's right.
Yellow ?
I think there are exemptions tho. For instance the formal British accent is the most authentic way of speaking English and the rest have accents
Same way of thinking in cities like Tashkent unfortunately
What the guy in the high visibility vest says at 9:02 is really wholesome.
“Parle français comment on est”. Come as you are because our differences make up the Parisian charm. Damn he gets it.

1:48 voilà exactement comment parle une personne parisienne (un peu bourgeoise) qui a vécu toute sa vie à Paris. Vous avez votre réponse. Sa façon de prononcer "parisienne"... ou "du nooord" à 2:41".
Au delà de ça, à une époque il y avait la gouaille parisienne qui était vraiment l'accent des faubourgs (Arletti, Mistinguette etc.). Aujourd'hui, les vrais parisiens sont rares et l'accent parisien un peu disparu.
Enfin ils sont revenus
J'espère que nous pourrons regarder ces vidéos chaque semaine
What's the guy at 9:02 said is really true. As a french I've never really saw that for a long time, but when I traveled and come back to Paris, it's obvious that Paris is a multicultural city.
So no, we don't have a particular accent but you can see the utilization of particular words or slang. But if you go outside of Paris and Surrounding region, you can hear a lot of differences in intonations. The best known being the typically northern and southern accent it will be difficult to understand for a foreigner I think.
These episodes are easy to follow and understand. Merci!
My favorite was the man from an island, really helpful because we hear so many things about going to Paris. I'm about to just start learning French, so excited!
These videos are fantastic for french learners. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, Nicholas! We're doing two videos a month right now but hope to get enough support to be able to offer worksheets that go with each episode. If that's something you are interested in then think about becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/easyfrench :-)
0:23 😱 I can't believe it! I know him! Haha. Such a great surprise.
Personnellement je n'entends pas de différence entre mon accent et ledit "accent parisien". En province aussi les gens disent "putain", "en fait", "du coup" etc... Je ne pense pas que Paris ait un accent particulier. Après pour le comportement social et l'attitude c'est autre chose.
À 3:30 tu trouves qu'elle a pas un accent
Je suis totalement d’accord
bruno C Perso je ne trouve pas. J’ai le même accent et pourtant je suis loin d’habiter à Paris ou dans ses banlieues ^^
Nan mais complètement ils s’inventent trop une particularité
The best French is spoken in the Loire Valley, in Tours. The garden of France.
le gars Romain de 8:10 J'ADORE sa voix. 😍😍😍
I loved this video! The last line cracked me up!!! "Moi je suis Américain, ça arrive !" hahahahaha As a foreigner in Paris that is the perfect statement LOL !!!!
Bravo Coleman, un video magnifique ! merci beaucoup.
Merci Paul! Ça me motive de savoir que la vidéo t'a plu!
0:57, that girl sounds like shes an American lol
I think she is
Her accent is english. Quite posh english too it sounds like a private school accent
Not to be rude, but I've always believed that an American can't hide his/her American accent no easily
deffo southern english
@@aldairmarroquin4184 The interviewer is American and his accent was far less apparent. Her use of only 3 words is probably indicative of her fluency and thus more prominent accent.
I've been a Parisian for 30 years, and I can tell you : the girl at 4:57 has the most "Parisian" accent and intonation of all. When you talk, it's like you sound like the smell of a fresh dog pound on the macadam that's been walked upon under the rain, and that's been soaked in exhaust gaz from early morning.
If you wanna hear pure traditionnal parisian accent, I recommend to you to watch videos from french TV during 70's/80's (INA, a public managed youtube channel, provides some very interesting videos about social issues and trends back in those days. Institut national de l'audiovisuel for I.N.A.)
INA is so important, you may not know how much. Not all countries or even languages have the material on the internet available like they do on UA-cam.
@@franciscofuentes8916 yes! And I'm so glad it exist, I've watched a lot of their videos and learned about French culture as well!
8:50 Lewis Hamilton je savais que j'avais déjà vu cette petite bouille! Excellente reconversion.
Merci beaucoup! J'aime vos videos, Je suis étudiant de francais et Ils toujour m'aident. C'est très intéressant
6:45 ... Girl ain't local is she 😂
I am french but not from Paris, and I can say that most of the expressions that I heard during the video are used as well in the rest of the country. I think that there is not really a parisian accent.
there was, but it kind of disapears.
Lol
@@rogaldorn1405 Well, it's been a year, and since then I changed my mind xD
There is a parisian accent !
C'est la femme blonde 3:37 qui l'explique bien. D'origine anglophone je faisait mon année immersive à Paris dans la 7me. Un jour la mère et fils de la famille gentille qui m'a accueilli, m'a fait une démonstration de "l'accent 16me", très rigalo.
Un peu exagéré, ça avait l'aire d'un snob d'Angleterre qui essaient de parler français.
À l'autre extrême, l'accent des quartiers dans le nord-est de Paris que j'appelle "l'accent gangster". Plein de mots que je ne comprend pas. Cet accent là est dans les films où les criminals parlent entre eux.
Après 9 mois à Paris, j'ai fait un week-end à Genève: En bavardant dans la rue avec un monsieur Suisse français, il m'a dit tout de suite, "Vous êtes de Paris, monsieur" . J'étais vraiment flatté.
Oui, il y a des accents de Paris !
What is the accent of the suited man (if any)?
03:43
Belgian or dutch, i guess !
@@polomolo3295 Thanks.. He certainly sounds better than Parisians :))
Great video, keep them coming. I hope to speak French like you soon.
Where are you on your french learning journey now
Pourquoi coleman dit "jamais"? . Quelle est la signification ou usage? (Min 9:00)
Y'a bcq des info dans cette vidéo
J'adore la parole du mec qui porte une veste jaune très précise
Please more easy French movies😍😍😍
Coming soon! The next one is out on 20th April 😃
The accent of Paris is really really different of the accent from South of France (sound more like italian for me). The Parisian accent is the "standardic" accent, it's a bit precious (especially with the rich peoples lol)
Thank you for this video. I am so happy to see there is a new video in this playlist. It helps me to study French quite easily. Please keep making new videos, we are following you
Thanks for the encouragement, Ngan! Will be putting out stuff regularly for next couple months and we're working to get Easy French back to weekly :-)
This is so weird because once, some people told me that French people were incredibly racist and they don't even respond to you if you don't speak French. And the language French was always a "never" to me. But i met French people in an online game and most of them were so sweet and friendly, just like the people in this video. So i decided to learn French and visit Paris someday. I hope i can make it. And if i do, i wanna be in one of these videos. :)
They respond bad if manners aren't used, but if you say, Bonjour/pardon excuse-moi they will immediately help you
Tulin : yes, that was a valuable lesson for you . If you hear anyone generalizing about a whole
Nation or Race then you know they are idiots ..! Trust me ..!!
I'm learning French, and can understand the French language easier when listening to the Regional Southern.
Je pensais que ce gars était un Québécois😂
Le début, lorsqu'il s'est présenté, il a parlé avec un accent Québécois.
Je suis québécoise et ne on parle pas comme ça, on dirait qu'il a un accent canadien-anglais
ju g il est américain mdr
C'est l'intonation de 'on veut savoir' qui m'a fait penser ça, mais j'étais un peu confondu parce qu'il prononce pas les mots à la québécoise
Non, l'accent québécois est différent. Pour l'ouï inexpert, on dirait que oui, mais pas tout à fait.
Merci pour le vidéo ! C'est une coïncidence parce qu'il y a deux ou trois jours je cherchais les vidéos sur les accents françaises ! Il me semble que vous parlez très bien, pas trop d'accent américain - avez-vous vit longtemps en France ?
C'est cool que la vidéo t'a plu! Ouais, en dehors du français à l'école, j'ai vécu plus ou moins trois ans à Paris et trois ans en en Afrique francophone donc l'ensemble m'a beaucoup aidé ! :-)
I read how to sound "PERSIAN" and was like "wtf, what has Persian to do with French?!" ... :D:D
When you find out they say merci beaucoup.
3:28 That lady has the true Parisian accent.
She has a really strong accent and particular way of speaking that sounds quite harsh, but it’s definitely not the stereotypical Parisian accent.
Sorry but no...
07:56 😂😂 it seems like you’re calling your friend “dog”.
Sauf qu'en argot afro-américain on se disait aussi (enfin, dans les temps) "dog" entre potes.
@@janhenkel4459 En effet, même pour moi, c'est quelque chose que je continue de dire de temps en temps avec certains amis!
Oh they speak so quickly, as the one guy said they garble. My French teacher told me that the perfect French was spoken in Toulouse. I wish I could freeze the conversation so that I could read the translation as I go along!
lol, i dont know how your teacher could say such thing : Toulouse has a particularly strong accent with many slangs and gramatically incorrect expressions which makes it a particularly awful and ugly french. One of the worst with Marseille (the south) and dunkerque (north). IT is largely admitted that the area with the least accent is around Tours.
This was quite interesting. Well done to the French American.
5:33 This girl sounds like she had a few l'apéro before the interview.
Bonjour...
You guys should make a video how french people can differentiate the genders in things...Like we say "La Voiture" and "Le Stylo"....How can they say which one is masculine and feminine ...There is a serious demand for this question...
Bonne Journee
If you want to know what is the true Parisian accent you need to watch some old french movies trailers of the 40, 50, 60s,. Because today, there's no more true Parisians who live in Paris and are born in Paris and their parents and gran parents too, you see?
Now intramural Paris is mainly inhabited by bourgeois from the provinces but also many wealthy foreigners.
The French capital is no longer affordable for the working class that populated Paris about 60 or 70 years ago. One built the suburbs all around Paris to let the center capital welcome the wealthiest people.
To hear the real Parisian accent, then listen to Edith Piaf sing or listen to Jackie Sardou (actress) or Jean-Paul Belmondo (actor) in his first films in black and white or Michel Audiard or also Arletty (actress) to speak.
There, you can really get an idea of what is the Parisian accent, also called accent "pointu", with this particular way of dragging on certain syllables and accelerating on others, this intonation a little nasal, how they pronounce the "a" at the end of a word, etc. ;)
A true "Gavroche" here: ua-cam.com/video/sThPjkkKYdo/v-deo.html ;)
@ J-Loo Senfout
Paris is DEAD . The left has killed my dear home town.
0:59 southern, well spoken English girl. I can pick out English accents easily but french is harder
alex? you're a romanian guy washing French toilets?
American accent 💯
Dans le minute 1:14, quand la femme dit que les parisiennes parlent "chocomuent", qu'est-ce que ca vaut dire?
Excellent! J'ai adoré le clip! Merci :D
Please more Easy French Videos🤗🤗🤗🤗
We're working on it! If you wanna help us to get back weekly videos again, think about becoming a patron perhaps :-) patreon.com/easyfrench
This is really well done! So fun!
Maintenant avec les accents régionaux ! :D
On serait ravis d'en faire dans les vidéos prochaines ! Actuellement, on est train de relancer Easy French donc pense à devenir un "patron" si tu es aussi pressé que nous d'avoir un épisode chaque semaine :-) Sinon, quel accent ou parler t'intéresserait le plus pour une prochaine vidéo ?
@@donaldsoncd oh je suis pauvre. J'ai même pas une carte de crédit, mais j'ai écouté plusieurs fois que l'accent du Sud-Ouest est très mignon est sexy. ça serait chouette.
Pardonnez-moi de ne pas pouvoir vous aider. Je serais vraiment ravi de le faire.
0:58 omg I think she's american
Matthew H who invited sherlock here
Yes of course she's american!!😂😂
actually I think she's English and i'm from Ireland so I can tell.So unless y'all have proof... :P
The way she pronounced très vite lmaoooo
Marie B it’s how she pronounced the trés vites. it was sooo heavy and just had that american thickness to it lol
Tres Bien. Cool
Je pense que tout le monde a un accent. Chaque région a son propre accent et je peux reconnaître l’accent parisien, l’intonation est assez différente
Guys Paris is good to visit.
Ta vidéo est plus clair. C'est bon. 👍
Great idea to make videos like this one,congratulations!!!
« Ouesh » 😂
Cette "émission", a-t-elle un sens particulier aussi ?
What does chacal (jackal) means?
J'ai beaucoup aimé cette vidéo! Ça a été trop cool ;) hahaha
Cool, trop cool :-) Merci bien Mariette!
J'aime bien cet épisode!
😃
Merci Mido!
En Italie, si tu es de Rome on l'aperçoit tout de suite et sans aucun doute.
This is why I failed French speaking on the French exam
0:27 .. me when someone speaks French to me
Je m'attendais pas à tant d'interviewés américains ou anglophones...
Il y a aussi l'expression oh la vache 😊😜 ou encore patatiblablabla et le euuuuuh 😊
Fabulous. I just found you. Subscribing. As an American who has taught herself French (I want mine to be as good as yours, dang!) the guy at 2:10 nailed it for me and what my ears here. I have friends from all over French and I think the Parisians definitely have their own accent.
Une vidéo très sympa !
Merci !
Wow you're American? How did you learn French so well? I moved to Annecy France almost 8 months ago.
Woah, ton accent c'est comme le mien. Moi aussi, je suis américain et mon accent est un mélange France/Québec
Fort intéressant ! Merci
What a joy to see all these fantastic Parisians! I literally couldn't tell he was American until he said "Patreon.com" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello I live in Paris, I would like to help you with the next episode of Easy French.
Thank you! So intresting😸
Il n'a pas un, mais plusieurs accents parisiens. Pour un bon exemple il faut entendre parler l'actrice Camille Cottin, elle a l'un des accents typiquement parisiens.
loboestepario2424 mais je crois que le terme "accent" n'est pas vraiment approprié je dirais plutôt un "ton" parisien. Non ?
@@Liza33650 certes, parler d'accent est un hispanisme.
