      Agreed, I understand the unfortunate necessity of the ads for the channel to be successful and turn out good content but a 4-5 min ad makes me want to stop watching the Channel and avoid the company that forced such a waste of time ad read. 60 seconds is more then enough time to sell the company and what it’s selling. Worse case a 90 second ad would be bearable just not every video.

    @keppscrossing 4 місяці тому

    Good content as far as the history of the cemetery, but Oh! My ears are bleeding from the mangled French pronunciation, particularly after the long claim of researching the pronunciation.
    Père LaChaise is pronounced more like pear la shez. There is no hard CH sound in French. It is always like SH and the ai sounds more like the soft e sound in English.
    Egalité does not sound like eagle-ite, but more like egg Al ee tay.
    Just plug questioned words into Google Translate and listen to the pronunciation. That won't always be perfect, but it will be correct most of the time, and closer the rest of the time.
