congrats to the Mexican girl, she was confident speaking french in france, in front of the camera!, I cant even speak my own language in front of any camera, so, excellent!
A Mexi- can do many things others can't..I'll get me coat.
Ahuevooo 😂😂😂👏✨
En fait, c'est le français parlé en espagnol 😂😂😂🤣🤣
And also saying smart things.

2:04 Olivier is so lucky. This girl is such une ensoleillement.
oui!!
Ouais, elle est très mignonne

Bonjour, I am from India. I believe the woman who was talking about a Country spiritually very rich and situated near India is "Bhutan" . Bhutan is a very small neighboring country of India surrounded with the Himalayan range with exotic scenic beauty, simple and spiritual lifestyle of its inhabitants.
Why not Nepal? Would you say people in Nepal is not as spiritual and happy?
I think It's Tibet, isn't it?
Nepal
Yeah I agree it's Bhutan. Often cited as one of the happiest countries in the world
Jawad Moktadir Tibet is an autonomous province of China so I doubt so haha
Those two french dudes are so hilarious lol
lol yes!! "The American Dream" is a Drake quote lmaooooo

congrats to the Mexican girl , she's so confident
You're right!
@@EasyFrench I think she is living there for a few years to get that confidence, for me it would take probably 5 years to gain that confidence
8:30 these two are hilarious 😂
Aren't they 😅
l’amour vs. l’argent😂😂😂 J’ai trop aimé le débat hahahh
The woman with the mask has such a nice voice
Isobella Monroe laquelle ?
@@GoLongAmerica first

1:43 I really agree with her. Although people in different countries can certainly be more well off and fortunate than others, there is no true happiest country in the world. It just depends on an individual's experiences and their quality of life, as well as how they interpret what a "happy life" is to them.
I'm polish and that channel is so incredible. It makes french so easy and shows so many native speakers with so many diffrent accents and it's much more interesting than french lessons in school. Pozdrowienia z Polski, je ne parle pas francais mais je adore france (is it correct?ahah)
Nous sommes heureuses que vous aimiez nos vidéos 🤗

If you say in 2020 that Americans are the happiest you’ve lived in a bubble for quite a while...maybe a decade or two
Tu ais raison ! Je suis mexicain ma j'habite aux États-Unis dans vingt ans; merci, bonne journée et salutations... 🇮🇹🇫🇷🇺🇸📡📺👋🤘🖖👍
Same applies for the Scandinavian countries. Social relationships suck, they're extremely depressing due to the climate and expensive when it comes to food and lifestyle. Definitely southern European countries for sure.
Fulippu Annaghiti but at least they don’t have a maniac in control of everything & so many societal issues because of ignorant people that they’re likely to start world war three. When they’re depressed they can’t storm schools with their rifles. Also they are rich and organized enough to get through the covid crisis quite well while in the US there will be so many people unemployed and in an aggressive mood that I absolutely don’t wanna know what’s going to happen 🙈
Fulippu Annaghiti I’m from northern Germany btw, we are quite reserved and potentially depressed too ✌️
But we got no issue letting the Danes come over to buy booze and chocolate much cheaper so that everyone’s happier 😂😂😂 I mean they have to surivive us as tourists after all...
But well, it’s not as cold where I’m from. Barely any snow in the winters anymore, stupid hot in the summer...thanks climate change deniers 🙈🙈🙈
Tu as raison, mais je pense qu'on aime bein imaginer que l'herbe est toujours plus verte ailleurs. Même si le rêve américain n'a plus la force qu'il avait auparavant chez lui, il est dans le monde entier répendu et les citoyens d'autres pays (surtout le pauvres) y croient toujours.
C'est très interesante d'entender la opinion d'autres.

I was studying French by my own but I've stopped it for some months and I feel like I forgot tons of vocabulary 🤦♀️ shame on me! But today i'm returning so that's fine.
In the same position as you lol. A good book for getting back into French is called 'Short Stories in French' by Olly Richards and Richard Simcott
Welcome back!
@Rayne Pontes; Bonjour !
Je suis mexicain et j'apprends le français depuis peu de temps par moi-même, mon niveau de français es basic et mon problème es que je n'ai personne avec qui pratiquer et si je ne pratique mon français je l'oubli vite. Je suis très frustré. Ne te décourager pas !!!
Bon soirée (?) et salutations de Mexique...
@@anunnaki9493 Salut Nolan! J'ai besoin de pratiquer avec quelqu'un aussi parce que le français n'est pas facile, correct? Au revoir! Bisous du Brésil 😘
that's what i've been passing through these last couple weeks. I hope we find that motivation and get back at it :)
I am American, and I think the idea of an American dream can be crushing since you believe that you can make it big, but in reality the ones who do usually have connections, family to support them financially and emotionally, as well as a good education. It’s not as easy as it sounds, especially since we don’t even have universal healthcare.

Work on it bro it happens very soon 👍😉
And without slowing it down 😂
The two guys starting at 1:17 and 8:28 are fantastic
I love Brazil. We are known as one of the most friendly people around the world, that's one the thing I'm proud of. 🇧🇷♥️

"QUELLE est le pays le plus heureux du monde"... 😱😱😱😱😱
Ce ne serait pas plutôt "quel est" , non ?
At 4:30, the country that girl is talking about is Bhutan. Happiest country which also claims to be carbon neutral !
Carbon negative, actually :)
More O2 is released in the environment than CO2 emissions.
I was literally about to write this, good one 👍🏼
Indeed, I visited there once and agreed. Air is fresh, water is crystal clear .... food are organic, rich of culture and people are closed to there religious with real practice.
It's definitely not the happiest country in the world; in fact, life is very rough there. Its idea of "Gross Domestic Happiness' is just a gimmick that its monarch invented to appease the critics for the horrible state of the economy, and this made world news. The fact the monarch put Bhutan at the top of this random list means nothing of course. Actual research shows that today the happiest countries are places like Canada, Norway, and Australia.
En fait, la petit Mexicaine a bien compris. Les Mexicans dans leur ensemble apprécient simplement la vie, ce sont des gens qui travaillent incroyablement dur.
gracias amigo❤️
It's bizarre hearing french people choose france. When i lived there EVERYONE was miserable, complaining about everything, depressed, pessimistic. They were the least happy countrt I've seen.
I noticed that only the old ones said france
Where in France were you? I've lived in France for 18 years, people definitely weren't miserable and were very happy to be living and have been born in France
@@HB-kb6rt strasbourg and paris.
I think it's important to distinguish between being happy and being a chauvinist. The french are taught from childhood that the french way is the best, and that france is special. But the french are famous throughout the world for their unhappy outlook on life, and neverending complaining. I would never describe them as happy. it does seem like young french people nowadays are less miserable than preivous generations so maybe there's hope.
@@Mateo-et3wl I think most people make a mistake trying to understand french people. Yes lots of complaints, lots of self-flagellation etc. but chauvinism? I do not think so, rather the opposite. People literally spend their time questioning France and its ways but that is more by nature and education than that they are unhappy with their country or in life. Questioning what you have and criticizing is because you case and does not mean you don't realize how lucky you are with it...hence the replies in the video.
Agreed! I live in France since 2014.. they just like to console themselves and being shallow narcissistic
La France me manque beaucoup! 🥺Un gros salut de l'Italie
Bonjour, voisin ! 🤗

Dear Easy French, I am bing watching your videos this week to improve my French.... This conversation you had with the young men where they use a lot of slag is REALLY interesting because we hardly ever hear this kind of French in normal French classes. Please can you continue asking a few youngsters like that to talk in your future videos please, it's great to learn the slang (also because i have French kids who are coming up to teenage years and I want to know what they are talking about lol) Thanks! :)
Heureusement il y avait Mathis a côté pour définir le "rêve Américain " ... You made my day, les gars!!! Hahahhaha🤣🤣🤣
@4.40 elle veut dire "Bhutan" je crois.
Oui, j'ai pensé la même
Cette video c est tres important pour apprendre le francais

4:23 she's talking about Bhutan,
The happiest country,full of greenery,
It have it's GNH (gross national happiness ) which is used to measure economic and moral progress ,it's truly the happiest country😀
I think she's talking about népal (sorry i dont know the name of the country in english)
I've been learning French now despite this pandemic that have given me the opportunity and I appreciate the woman who considered our country the happiest and enjoyable. Hope you can visit here soon.
Greetings from the Philippines❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭
4:24 She is talking about Bhutan. Great country!!
Il n’y a pas un pays plus heureux qu’un autre. C’est subjectif, et même relatif. Être heureux pour certains ou pour d’autres c’est de l’argent, du matériel, la famille, l’amour, le système politique, le social etc.
at 3:00 the lady, elle a une douce voix. sweet and soft
:)
I actually feel happy see the first woman in the video talk such a good side of France, even in many ppl's opinion it might not the same answer, but to be confident with they own culture is the most important thing to do to protect their right. instead of oh, America is the best oh USA is my dream. everyone should have the purpose to protect their own culture.
Merci pour le vidéo, les amis! C'est un sujet très intéressant! À mon avis le pays le plus heureux c'est le Brésil 🇧🇷. C'est vrai que nous avons beaucoup de difficultés, mais nous sommes toujours souriants et optimistes 😊
Serait-ce le secret pour être heureux ?
T’as raison, Lucas! Je pense la meme chose:)
Les riches ia Brésil ne pense pas comme ça 😂
To answer that question one would have to have lived in all the countries of the world :s
Exactly !
Je vis en Amérique du Sud et je pense que nous avons la chance de profiter d'un temps printanier toute l'année, sans chaleur ni froid extrêmes, donc malgré les problèmes économiques et les gouvernements, en moyenne, les gens sont heureux, extrêmement sociables et avec des liens proches proches.

Bonjour, les amies !!
Je suis très heureux pour vous travail. Merci beaucoup pour vous temps et leçons. Je vous félicitée; bonne journée et salutations du Mexique ! 📡📺👋✌🤘🖖😂👍
Tu parlé le francais
1:16 "à la France" changed to "en France". I learnt that in French class. Thank you. Easy French.
« a la France » it is not correct but « en France »is correct . Sorry for my English
Merci de partager. J'aime bcp la manière d'interviewer. Je pense que la femme pouvait dire "Bhutan" (le pays le plus heureux du monde qui se trouve près de l'Inde).
Oui!! Vive le Mexique!!
I love these videos!!! Thank you guys so much for making them. It's way more helpful to start learning a language listening to native speakers at their natural pace. Your videos are extremely appreciated !!
Oh finally someone mentioned Philippines.yay! I totally agree that people in the Philippines are pretty much one of the happiest even though they struggle a lot, they don't complain too much and they take life lighter and enjoy and celebrate whatever they have.
Non, elle a dit "un pay asiatique, genre, le Laos ou les Philippines".
Hmm ...je pense que les Etats-Unis sont un pays qui a ete tres triste pour beaucoup de temps recemment ! Je pense que maintenant le reve americain est plutot le couchemar americain

Je pense que chaque pays a ses avantages et ses désavantages mais chaque pays et beau de une manière unique ☺️
Le pays le plus heureux est celui où nous vivons. J'aime mon pays. Je suis brésilienne et , malgré nos problèmes , c'est un pays merveilleux. Et, je vous pose une question: quel pays n'a pas de problèmes ?
Bah, il y a des problèmes et de GROS problèmes. On peut être très heureux au Brésil si on a un travail qui paye une somme un peu au dessus de la moyenne, mais, par example, la violence quitte notre paix d'esprit.
On apprend beaucoup avec vous .. merci beaucoup
American dream 😂😂
Those two guys are hilarious
😂
Surprised more people didn’t say the Netherlands? Definitely the happiest people in Europe by a long stretch. Always seem to have a smile on their face, intelligent, hard working and always having fun.
The french name for Netherlands is Pays-Bas 😉
1:36 nigga killed it. Started from the bottom now we're here
excellent travail
Merci infiniment pour votre confiance franchement cette vidéo hors du commun
To have peace in your life would be my goal. That's what I reach for here in America. But it's not to just settle, it's to have goals that would bring you happiness.
La clé c'est de se focaliser sur le positif. 😁
Ce que me faisait plaisir dans cette vidéo toujours avec sous-titres c'est ça que nous comprenons bien la langue français.
Merci beaucoup Et bon continuation.
Tellement je vous aime!!
Je crois que Canada 🇨🇦 c’est un heureux pays , Merci pour votre bien travaillé !
Je suis canadienne et tu as la raison.. Canada est une de les plus heureux pays du monde, je pense vraiment ça.. Nous sommes libres d'être n' importe qui nous voulons d'être et la plupart des gens, le gouvernement inclus, sont très tolerants et accueilants.. La qualité de la vie est haute et il y a plein de liberté sociale.. Je me sens heureuse d'habiter ici, je ne veux pas aller nulle part d' ici..

J'adore cette vidéo ❤😊
Loved the video! I'd really like to speak French, I know it's a little difficult but I love the language and I know that I can learn it!
Of course, you can!
Officially the nordic country’s are the happiest and Switzerland and the Netherlands also. I live in the Netherlands and go often on holiday to Switzerland and I’m really happy with my country. Education, healthcare is very good and also the stores are good, friendly people, clean environment, especially the streets (maybe not amsterdam 😆). That is the case in Switzerland also, only Switzerland is extremely expensive, the Netherlands is not expensive at all.
And Switzerland is also very expensive for its own inhabitants 😅
Le Brésil a été oublié dans cette vidéo ;D, on est pauvre, on fait plein des conneries, mais on est heureux. Quand j'ai arrivé ici (en France) à 2008, j'ai trouvais les gents trop tristes, ils ne sourient pas, au Brésil nous sommes toujours souriantes, même quand on as des raisons d'être emmerdés pour la vie.
Mais j'appris à aimer la France, il s'agit d'un pays extraordinaire, riche en tous les aspects. Félicitations pour les français.
Et au revoir la France, je retourne à mon pays d'origine...
..
Haha à 10:05, il y a une fille qui s'arrête à cause de la camera
The title says happy and the question is heureux which is not the same. Happy is joyeux, heureux might be understood as priviledged. This explains why some French mention France.
J'aime les deux garçons leur accent est very excellente
Très belle question merci pour vos commentaires Olivier et heureux 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️

je pense, cette fille qui disait un pays près de l'Inde ... elle avait raison. c'est le Bhoutan.
Bhutan is a small country but it's has been ranked the 8th happiest country in Asia (according to Business week report) It had the second fastest growing GDP in the world, at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity. They are into spirituality a lot because of being Buddhist, a religion that focuses on meditation and inner peace.
Oui, Je suis mexicaine et les mexicains sont très heureux!!!! .... VIVA MÉXICOOOO!

Thank you

Je pense que elle voulait dire le pays BHUTAN à coté de l'inde très heureux et isolé aussi avec montagne et paix
Génial la Dame en bleu avec son vélo... Elle inspire la joie de vivre comme moi sur mon Île au Venezuela... ; ))
Before Covid, I would say the happiness country is Thailand.Variety of things make them happy, good food, fruits beach,moutain,nature,culture,easy going people and strong community and family gathering often in many festivals. Smile often and kindness pwople. I am from Thailand.
Thai was a country of million smiles, now it's the country if millions muzzles)))
It's very interesting that almost everyone was quick to connect the "happiest country" with a developed country, a rich country.
Sure, living in such a country can reduce some of your problems, but I don't think that this is necessarily connected to happiness.
In fact, when I think about some of the countries that were listed, I do not think about people smiling, dancing, or having fun - which for me, is the translation of happiness, just pure joy.
With that said, to me, the happiest countries are definitely in South America and Africa.
And as a Brazilian, I would have to say Brazil is the most one. Because our people always find a way to laugh at our problems, and in that is the strength to get through it.
I lived in Finland for three months, the level of depression I've experienced was unprecedented in my life. Same applies for the Scandinavian countries, very depressing, people are avoidant, they suck at social relations. Of course, for people who emigrate there to be " supported" on constant basis by the country welfare system it's a paradise, I don't blame them.
@@fulippuannaghiti1965 What exactly did you mean by "unprecedented level of depression" in Finland?!? You only spent there as little as three months.. How can you judge and what gives you reason to say so about millions of people in that country, to begin with, do you even speak their language or understand their mentality??( Edit. I am not from Scandinavia, i have never been there)
@@joang.6664 in my case three months were enough to build an opinion about the country and its people mindset. My ex was Finnish and she totally agreed with my opinion, which is still absolutely personal, but, I still see how many people ( especially many Finnish expats) agree with me. Food is bland, the landscapes are monotonous, social relationships suck, high levels of alcoholism ( amongst the highest in the world) long days in summer and long nights in winter, all of this doesn't surprise me that Finland scores very high in suicide rate. You've to draw your own conclusions once you go there for some months and live with the culture, I still firmly believe the world is full of more interesting countries to visit or even live in. Excellent administration, strong welfare policies and high salaries are not synonymous of a happy society.
@@fulippuannaghiti1965 I agree. I'm not from Europe and I always wondered why ppl admire North Europe. It's true they reached a good level of development which is very good for their citizens, but to me? as an outsider, I don't think that'll add much to me, I believe that mediterranean countries has a much richer and 'mature' cultures that I'd like to explore, live and breath. Mediterraneans, they just know the art of living. The art of living is way more important than being rich and organised in my opinion.
I lived in Germany and Portugal before, guess where I'd like to stay in again?
@@fulippuannaghiti1965 Ok, I see now what you meant..In that sense I have to actually agree..Indeed just because nordic countries have such smooth economy and strong social compliance and wealth , it has little to do with whether people are "happy"..I ve heard similar things about Finland before..
I believe ,though, that happiness is an individual state of being that people can create or choose to achieve regardless of country that they live in..It has to do with whatever constitutes their own idea of happiness (health, inner peace, safety, love, friendship etc) in that sense you will find happy or unhappy people in every place.
