Learning french according to youtube (and the visa arrival!!)

No news. Well, only that yesterday we noticed thar our status changed from "en cours" to "decision prise" I guess that means the visa will arrive in no time.

So we are remembering the whole frech learning trip we have made. And what better way to tell how we learned french than watching a few youtube videos? This is what happened to us:



At first, our poor teacher struggled to make me pronounce right the basics of the language and I was really really bad at it!:







Then, I felt in love with the language and suddenly I just wanted to translate everything to french!!







The result? I speak english (or at least I try to) since 2000. French since 2008. And now, I'm ashamed to admit that I speak english with an odd accent like this one:









Yep, I better keep writing!



For obvious reasons the videos displayed at the french and spanish versions are different, I invite you all to give them a look.


I hope we'll continue to laugh together!

Update: My mother in law just call me to give me the good news: the visas finally arrived!!!

  1. I'm sure the visas will be there very soon now!

    French by Joey was quite funny. Don't sweat it though, French always appreciate foreigners who try to speak it, even you are bound to have a different accent at first. Plus, Quebec is quite multicultural and you will hear French/ North African accent, French/ Indian accent, French/Vietnamese accent etc.
