I am German and I can guarantee you we do not have sparkling orange juice!! Maybe she drunk Fanta haha
Well, you simply mix carbonated mineral water with orange juice - done.😅 But that was then the preference of this person. I once knew someone who drank cola with milk. Although he was German, that's not a German speciality either, he was just a weirdo.😄
Never heard about that either, yet a friend of mine used sparkling water to cool down and dilute his tea 😂
Yass of course
Orangenschorle. I wouldn't recommend it though.
Everything she says is untrue.
I am German, working in Paris since 2017 and the biggest difference is that Germans love to talk about how hard they work while leaving the office at 6pm and French talk about their amazing work life balance while sending out emails at 8pm. And no, we do not drink sparkling orange juice, but we love sparkling apple juice ...
Carola in Paris 😂👏🏼
I am French, Breton - when you say sparkling apple juice, you mean CIDER I guess ;-) (joke) Otherwise I do not think we are so different each others. I am working with so many EU nationalities now, and I can tell we are all the same. Of course we have all some specificity, but they are kind of minor to me, because I can tell as a Breton, I am probably closer to an Irish dude than a person leaving from the South of France - By that, I mean even in France, we are quite different already. Diversity is good, but I think we are clearly not that different after all. That's why I feel European I think :)
True. I think I'm the only German who hates sparkling apple juice😅.
Never seen sparkling orange juice nor sparkling apple juice. Schorle is not juice, it's a juice mixed with soda. The first time I drank sparkling ice tea (actually sparkling, not a mixed beverage) was in Hungary some decades back and while I wasn't too fond of it back then as a child I'm glad it found its way to Germany. Une boisson nostalgique.
@@pami333 Ice tea is an artificial drink, so the way they make that sparkling, by adding carbohydrate, is on the same level as producing Apfelschorle (that you can buy readily mixed in a bottle, like the Lift one). And I am happy that it is not the juice itself because it would mean it has gone bad.
That guy detailing his sex life with that German girl is a baller 😂😂
😂
lmfao
Strange and cringe
he is the difference between french and germans encarnate, saying something so completely random and audacious and then just smiling to the camera, like did he do it on purpose?? or hes just completely not giving a damn ...
@@kalishnikov27642 I guess he is not that out of line in France. Otherwise he would be cut out from the video.
The French speak so fast I can't read the subtitles that quickly
You can change the speed in the player options
like the spanish🤣
same
I was shocked with the "peut etre" of a guy (he barely said the "p" alone, lol)... omg they speak so fast
They're translations, not lyrics.
I don't know what the black girl experienced but in Berlin we are usually just equally unfriendly to everyone :)
Vor allem, weil dort so viele Ausländer leben... würde mich überraschen, wenn Berlin fremdenfeindlich sein sollte
Yeah, I find Berliners tend to be pricks just to everyone. Its equal opportunity ass-holery
Don't worry it's just the same in Paris
hahaha, and they say Germans are't funny
@@holyattack well, the stereo-type does hold some truth, relative truth but still a valid one. few of my german friends are the funniest people ive ever met, some are the opposite. the balance is greatly leaning to lacking humor though or having some weirdass satire humor.
In my opinion, Paris doesn't represent the real France, just as Berlin doesn't represent the real Germany.
What counts as "real" to you?
As a french girl who doesn't live in Paris yes we don't have the same way of life 😅
There's no such thing as "The Real France". Depending on where you are in the country, people will act very differently
@@jayfrench3179 "Real France" would be a more homogeneous *french* city. European capitals tend to have millions of foreigners. Only in this video i saw 2-3 non-french.
A very true statement.
As an Asian who has lived in France and Germany, I have to say the people are both cute in their own ways lol I remember the first week in Munich was like “why are they so tall?” And the first week in Paris was like “ why are they so stylish?”
Archer nbnbnb what part of Asia?
Regarding the height, if you were shocked by the Germans, never dare going to Netherlands or Scandinavian countries. 😂
Logan Nunes i went to Netherlands and all Scandinavian countries after Germany and yes youre definitely right hahaha 😂
Mxnu777 okayyy..... looking into these two places atm
@@logannslm1593 I confirm to you i'm french , tall for a woman (1.73) working at the airfield and i was usually taking care of the flights of Corea and Japan and sometime when needed Sweeden and Norway..... With my size and my choose i was having my eyes to the level of the boobs of this women....So impressive.
I never realized that the French use "voila" so much in their everyday speech. Very interesting.
It like, feels like the parasite word "like" that like, English speakers put like, everywhere like, in like, their sentences.
@@georgethakur The overusage of "like" is mostly associated with California valley girl slang/speech, though it is spreading thanks to popular/social media. Is it the same case for "voila", or is it used equally throughout France?
@@epochseven4197 I'm not sure, I'm not from there. It just gave me the same taste.
And we use also rendez-vous and c'est la vie. Funny indeed?
@@georgethakur or the famous "you know"
I am german.. The thing is.. I am pretty cold for a long time towards strangers and not funny at all. :D But always polite and respectful! It takes some time and then I am the most warm hearted and loving person ever as I gained trust. Oh and super giggly and funny, I would say. :D Love french people.
Well I do know some Germans that are behaving more like Italians - tactiles and very extraverties. I guess it depends of the characters of everyone :)
@@MrEricGuerin Like Flula Borg. The dude is on crack.
Best way to describe Germans as well as other Germanic people: deep down inside, they are not unfriendly, they are just cautious. It is easy to make a stranger into friend, but it is hard to make a friend into a stranger. That would be an awkward situation.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 Perfectly put!
Love German and Germany is amazing
I am from Germany. In my opinion the main difference is pride. The french are very proud (about their language, their food, the culture) - sometimes even a little closed minded because of it or even a little arrogant about it 😉. The germans arent that much (guess why) but still are hurt when the french speak bad about their cuisine or something (guess thats normal). Also the germans actually like french culture a lot (a saying is "like god in france" meaning 'living the good life') i am not too sure if the love is shared the other way around 😜. Also i think that french and germans are not too different tbh. Both people seem a little unfriendly first but have a big heart (i mean the french and german have the same acestors and even forefather in Charlemagne/ Karl der große.), they both love/ care for nature, literature and social causes a lot. In my personal opinion the french are extremely nice people and very friendly. I absolutely can not confirm the cliché about them. Oh and i think in both countries there is an understanding of both of our countries being the motor of the EU. I just wish we would get closer together (more exchanges in school, universities etc) after all we kinda are the same people.
Danke für die nette Kommentare über unsere Freudlichkeit! Wir lieben es auch, mir unsere Deutsche Nachbarn auszutauschen. Unsere Zusammenarbeit ist sehr wichtig. Uns wir lieben es nach Deutschland für den Urlaub zu fahren :)
@@TomGB-81 you are speaking about your German queen? Btw. Welcome to the 21st century, the Raj is gone, Germany is on friendly terms with all its neighbours, especially France, and has no contested borders. Why is France so pro German involvement in the EU? Have you ever heard about the contract that was struck between the two Germanies and the occupying powers to enable German reunification (2+4 contract)? France's condition for accepting a reunited Germany was that Germany would integrate itself even more into the EU. France demanded the introduction of an European currency, the creation of an European military etc. as a precondition to permit our reunification. So why on earth would they have anything against us keepin our word and fullfilling our obligations towards them? France wants an United States of Europe and made it the condition for German unification. That's why we are on board with that and that's also why we are both working together towards that goal.
@@TomGB-81 you should ask those stupid, racist and discriminating questions your fellow brits who left your country because of people like you. Alone here in Berlin the british now make up the biggest group of migrants only after the turkish who came here decades ago. The british now also make up the biggest group of people applying for german passports. I guess they do know and love german culture after all. And also they are very welcome, especially since we understand why they are leaving (aka: people like you). I see that you might not be the most educated, but i recommend reading about the british migration to berlin and Germany in general since 2016. I'm out.
I think the same as you, kisses from France :)
Well, shouldn't have lost the war 😂🇺🇸
as a german let me tell you, u would never find a german saying some weird ass shit like that lol 4:45

No normal french person would say that 😂
And that my friend is exactly what makes french people alot funnier lol
@@malmajhad Hat er nicht, das fand ich sehr lustig, vor allem sein Gesichtsausdruck 😂
I used to have a pretty bad image of Germany from being cursed at several times by Germans just for being French at the border. I went to Heidelberg a bit worried that I was going to be treated the same way, so I told my family to lay low and not speak French too loud in the streets. Not in the slightest! The people I met in Heidelberg were just the loveliest, friendliest people I have ever met, everyone was so kind and happy, far from the stereotypes. Even though we tried to speak German with them, upon hearing us speak French, every single person tried to converse with us in our language. I felt so welcome there, it was amazing!
clairobscur It is sad to hear that you have been cursed just because of your nationality, I‘m so sorry and I really hope it doesn’t happen again but here are also many people who loves France 💙
France was always our number one vacation spot in my childhood. Still love it and know many more that do. The only negative stereotypes I hear is that the French tend to get unfriendly when people try to converse in English and that they don't like Germans. 😄 which is a sad thing cause we should really leave the past behind us at some point.
clairobscur it's sad to hear that you've been cursed out. Personally I am careful with french people since from my experience they aren't as open and can be kinda arrogant. I'd like to hear your opinion since I've mostly meat french people who would not even try to speak english or german during exchanges and since my french isn't great they'd mostly stick to themselves and ignore you (giving you the feeling that they're better than you)
Which part of the border? Maybe alsace lorraine? 😂
Love from Heidelberg
As french guy. I think lot of positive things about german people. They are so different than french, i think we can be inspirated about some their qualities and the reverse too. We are complementary ! And i hope one day we ll be really united (not for money or economy like today). Vive la France, Vive Deutschland and vive l'Europe des peuples. ✌
Je suis d'accord avec toi on est très complémentaire
I couldn't have said it better. We're complementary. There's much we can learn from each other! Greetings from Germany
French and German People are one family. It doesnt matter if we speak the same Language, and so on :) in our deepest minds we know each others very well and we can see so much things that connectes us together 🇫🇷🇩🇪
fuck off seb
🇪🇺❤️
we had to reconcile, we had to fix History so we played Doctor and Nurse :D
I love how he phrased it "touche le pipi" 😆 like "touch the weewee"
Big bruhh moment there!
I had the same reaction as the intervierer...
I dont get the joke, I'am braziliam, can someone explain it?
@@brunof9112 "touche-pipi" or "Doctors and Nurses" (I didn't know that was the name in English) is a "game" where people watch/touch each other's genitals. But the joke here (I'm French) is mostly because it was surprising. He talked about relationships, a peaceful story with a young German girl and then to reconcile: "we looked at each other's genitals". That's literally the meaning behind.
I love our French neighbors. From Germany 🇩🇪❤️🇫🇷
Im German, I dont care about the French.
Thanks from France 🇨🇵❤️🇩🇪
Greetings from France , we are all humans and have to preserve peace
4:34 the most stereo typically french anecdote possible
😂
I loved it xD
I don't get it

French humor. I thought it was hilarious. The way he looks into the camera so proud of himself.
I've heard stories about French speaking really fast, but I had no idea they speak THAT fast.
It's just our language, not the way we speak, they are not speaking fast at all here
It's a linguistic thing: german has a more complex syllable structure than french so it needs more time to form the words what makes us slower - but it doesn't mean faster languages automatically transport more informations within the same time :)
Omg it’s soooo not fast, for French natives they really do no speak fast lol x))) I’m french and I speak wayyy faster than them
Siehste? Ich bin Italiener und Ich garantiere dir, dass die Italienern nicht so schnell (ist ein cliché) wie die Franzosen oder Spaniern reden... nur ein BISSCHEN lauter (vielleicht!) aber nicht so schnell.
No contest compared to spanish women. I can here the beginning and sometimes the pauses to breath, but nothing in between!
We asian people love French people very very much. Thailand 🇹🇭 lovvvvvvveeeeee youuuuuuu!
Merci mon reuf.
i think the vietnamese would disagree with you there
Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian: Am I joke to you? Chinese, Japanese, Korean: “We asian”? Lol wtf
Oh god why bro I'm not proud of my country's history and now I can even hear my neighbor fighting God damnit I'm from Philippines why dude we're not tall not rich and idk what to do why god created us.
Thank you We love You to ❤🇨🇵
If France and Germany can be allies, everyone can. We had like 4 big wars in the last 200 years alone, killed each other many times and now - only 75 years after the last one - we are one of the closest allies and stick together on many important geopolitical topics, have open borders, no tarrifs and many exchange programms. So everyone with a notorious hate towards one of his neigbour countries, come take a look and think twice.
Unsere Feindschaft ist angeboren! Sie liegt im Blut!
Greatest alliance
If France and Britain can be allies despite 1000 years of rivalry, everything can be possible.
Well said. BTW, haven't you guys been fighting a war together in Mali? The press here in America hasn't covered it much, but I've read that it was a pretty big intervention on behalf of the UN against terrorism. Yet another example of how far you've come, Frenchmen and Germans fighting together on the battlefield. Truly remarkable.
Baby, you fucking completely wrong! The biggest cultural rivalry in Europe is France vs. Germany
Berlin does not represent Germany in a general way.
For all Baguettes, that dont understand me It is very diffycult for me, to listen to the french language
@Lady Maria But Berlin ist even more special. No own culture, dirty and a lot of foreign people make it hard to call it a representation of a german city. For me, it is the biggest shithole germany has. Which is kinda sad, considering that it was a beautifull city pre WW1.

Much love to the french people from germany. You guys are just awesome❤
Much love to our neighbors too!
It blows my mind to see two countries with such an history getting along together, that's great thank you for your work !
The two countries were from german tribes
“Get along”. The Americans made them like that. Because of the cold war.
As a French, I really like Germany.
Wow the one guy rembers how beautiful it is in Germany because of buildings he saw in Dresden 🥰 I live in Dresden myself, that made me smile. (Indeed most beautiful City)
Nice buildings at least in the city center - but an ugly mindset
I thought the city was destroyed by Allied bombing during the WW2 ?!
German here 🇩🇪 love you my French brothers 🇫🇷
We germans are distant in the beginning but if you become a close friend you have won a jackpot for your lifetime.
I'm Mexican and I have been to France and Germany many times because my cousin married a French guy and I had a German girlfriend for many years. I think cliches do exist but they disappear as easily as they appear. I found Germans a bit more aloof than French but I attended several meetings and big family parties in Hannover and in a little town some kilometres away. People were very jolly and open. As soon as an "uncle” knew I was Mexican, he wanted to drink tequila shots with me. I felt warmly welcome by him and the rest of the family. In France, especially in Paris, I've never met anyone unfriendly to me, even though many people say Parisians are rude. I've found French and Germans to have many things in common with Mexicans, incredible and it may seem, but some other things are perfectly distinct, like the French playing accordion and singing in Place d'Italie on Sunday or Germans not crossing the street if a green ampelman doesn't tell them to do so.
Goscinny Uderzo very interesting to hear your experience with both French and Germans! It's nice to hear that you felt welcome in both countries 😊
@@EasyFrench You bet!! I want to go back. In both countries I spent time doing stuff tourists never do. In France I worked in a little town building a stone wall, for example.
8:43 i love thé intense music once he starts talking about generalizations 😂
Je suis français, ayant vécu 4 ans en Allemagne, à Francfort-sur-le-Main et je peux vous dire que j'ai su déconstruire tout les stéréotypes connus. Je ne sais pas si c'est lié à Francfort, qui est une ville pas forcément représentative de l'Allemagne. Je trouve l'Allemagne beaucoup plus multiculturelle et "ouverte" aux cultures et tolérante vis-à-vis des personnes ne parlant pas leur langue. Les allemands ne sont pas plus ponctuels, ordonnés ou propres, par contre ils sont davantage respectueux des piétons et des cyclistes. Je trouve l'organisation bureaucratique plus ou moins à égalité entre les deux pays. Les Allemands tendent à être plus directs (ils disent les choses clairement, sans tourner autour du pot) et plus pragmatiques (au quotidien et dans la langue, l'allemand n'a pas la même finesse du détail à la française). Les allemands râlent comme les français, mais moins officiellement et ouvertement. Ils n'ont pas la culture de la manifestation et de la protestation qu'ont les français. Je trouve que les allemands et les personnes vivant en Allemagne savent profiter de la vie tout aussi bien que les français, les terrasses d'Eiscafé et les parcs ne désemplissent pas aux beaux jours. L'éducation allemande est moins stricte et bien plus basée sur la confiance et la valorisation des enfants. Les enfants allemands sont autonomes plus jeunes qu'en France. De manière générale je trouvais les relations plus apaisées. Il est très rare d'assister à des scènes de dispute dans la rue. Le climat politique et social tendu reste davantage palpable en France qu'en Allemagne. Il est plus difficile de briser la glace en Allemagne car ils tiennent à maintenir une certaine distance sociale et de manière générale quand on ne les connait pas, ils tendent à être froid alors que les français (du sud particulièrement) sont bien plus bavards et n'ont pas de soucis pour le smalltalk, même sans connaître la personne.
En tant que Français ayant vécu en Allemagne (et notamment à Frankfurt am Main comme toi!), je suis d'accord avec tous les points. Et c'est drôle parce que si on est relativise on s'aperçoit que ces différences sont en réalité minimes, non?
@@t.philibert7862 Absolument! En tout cas, nous sommes généralement appréciés là-bas en tant que Français, j'ai jamais eu de remarques déplacées, alors que l'inverse n'est pas valable...
Oui, mon experience en Allemagne a ete totalement differente de celles decrites dans cette video. Rien que sur la bouffe j'ai trouve plein de bonnes choses, des Stollen au spatzle en passant par les Konditorei le dimanche et les Kurbis brotchen.
l'Allemagne plus multiculturelle ?? Euh tu venais d'où en France ? Moi j'ai grandi en banlieue parisienne et j'ai jamais vu de région en Allemagne avec un tel mélange. D'ailleurs, il suffit de regarder l'équipe de foot allemande : il leur fallu 20 ou 30 ans de plus que la France pour commencer à intégrer des joueurs d'origine étrangère. Pour le reste aussi, moyen d'accord. En plus ma mère est allemande donc j'ai eu l'occasion de comparer souvent. Il suffit de voir la tête des Allemands quand tu traverses au rouge pour voir que si, ils sont plus respectueux des règles, c'est pas un mythe. D'accord avec toi pour les relations sociales en revanche. Ils ont une culture de la négociation et du compromis plutôt que de manifester et faire la grève tous les 4 matins.
@@croulantroulant3082 Que la France soit multiethnique(personnes ayant des origines étrangères) comparée à l'Allemagne j'en doute pas, mais qu'elle soit multiculturelle là par contre j'ai de très gros doutes. La France a toujours refuser le multiculturalisme(et pour moi c'est une qualité), elle s'est évertuée à le détruire depuis toujours (Édit de Villers-Coteray qui impose le français comme seul langue, fin 19ème-début 20ème siècle où parler la langue régionale est interdit dans les écoles...). Et même encore aujourd'hui le multiculturalisme n'est pas toléré en France(lois sur l'Exception Culturelle qui imposent 40 % minimum de musiques/film/programmes télé en français, refus des tentatives de certains musulmans de se soustraire à leur devoir de respecter et suivre la laïcité...).
Je suis une fille allemande et j'aime tout ce qui est français, en particulier Gaspard Ulliel et Alain Delon "vive la France"
Merci pour ce partage :) Il commence à se faire vieux, Alain Delon 😉
J’étudie français avec duolingo et KZhead, je suis américain. J’adore français
Well those are some great picks, Gaspard Ulliel and Alain Delon are quite the ambassadors
Well, as a German I don't take issue with anything they said. Personally I'm surprised of how positive their evaluation of us was. I always thought there was a bit more hostility between us... But maybe it's because those were mostly young people.
french people like germans and they kinda admire them too, when they say they're a it strict and respect the laws it's not seen as negative but the opposite it's what french people lack
The war was 80 years before
I'm German, living in the USA. I don't think we are cold, we are just a little more socially awkward and need some time to warm up. But i think, once you have a German friend, you have a great friend, that is always there for you. We're not great with verbalizing affections, but we care deeply about our friends, we just don't tell them that.
But you are more cold than a latino
“A german friend for life” - The joke of the century.
@@1158supersiriactually, that honour falls to you.
I never understood that stereotype about Germans being rigid and humorless.I've known a lot Germans.They're all laid back,friendly(without overdoing it) and can be hysterically funny.Being admirably clean and ordlerly doesn't necessarily mean you're uptight.
That stereotype mainly stems from Hollywood and you might know who owns Hollywood...
I think for most foreigners our humor is too sarcastic to understand 🤣
Aywaaa i can not french and english aq come to Düsseldorf i give u a kebap
It is not a stereotype, it is 100% true: most germans are totally rigid and have no sense of humour. Either you have no sense of humour and think the germans are hilarious, or you got super lucky and met only from the 10% of germans that are "normal" :3 I recommend to see the following video to confirm it is NOT a cliché!! kzhead.info/sun/eZmNYpGtbImAe3A/bejne.html
Germans from what I've seen definitely have humor, but it's a type not everyone would understand, they seem to love dark humor and satire (a famous example being the Klaus forklift safety short film).
I loved the guy at the end. Yeah, there are always people that you like more than others, but there is always a definate difference in the world of thought. Which is the culture! And it is a beautiful thing to have. It's history and enharitance, and some things that we likely more enjoy than other cultures (mostly always the taste of the food). Merci mes amis. J'aime la France. J'aime la vie. Confrérie d'Allemagne
"touche-pipi" is my favorite new term in French! 🤣

@@georgethakur me neither hahahah
@@georgethakur Literally "touch-wee", specifically "touch wee-wee" 😂 Actually it means "Flirting with benefits" but with a childish weird side
4:36 that guy is a comedic genius, holy shit. He came up with it instantly too, wow.
Very interesting! The sex story is really funny 😄 wasn’t expecting that. As an Indian who traveled around Europe and encountered both Germans and French. I found both equally friendly but I feel Germans are more nicer and friendlier to me than French people. I find French guys are more talkative and show more emotions than German guys but surprisingly i found French girls more uptight and hard to chat with than the German girls. I met many German girls who were so nice to me and were very kind enough to show me around the towns in Germany and Austria. Maybe it’s the language barrier or maybe French girls aren’t used to interacting with Indians. But it doesn’t mean French people aren’t any less than Germans. Just my opinion. Please do more videos like this. Compare French with Spanish people or Italian people or more. Would love to hear people’s thoughts and opinions. 👍🏾😊
From my personal experience, I've always found French people much easier to talk to, but I think it depends on where you come from as you pointed out. I'm Brazilian myself and Germans generally have a very negative thought about us, whereas the French mostly don't (at least I haven't seen any). Indians might have an easier time with Germans since there are many of you guys here (I live in Germany too) contributing to the IT sector and I've personally never heard of anything negative caused by Indians.
@@GustavoVS11 Why do the Germans have a negative view of Brazilians? I think they should have a much more negative view of Indians, because of the complete difference in the culture.
@@Shankar-Bhaskar there's no one better than a German him/herself to answer your question, but based on my observations it's 2 things: 1. Macho culture and 2. Politics. Most people I come across here immediately assume I relate myself with both when I answer to the question "where are you from?" - expect that to always be the 1st or 2nd question asked by a German and then all the stereotypes will come against you. If you're American they're gonna think you're racist and voted for Trump; if you're Brazilian they (especially women) are gonna think you're talking to them because you're sexually interested in them; if you're English they're gonna think you're supportive of Brexit; if you're French they're gonna think you hate speaking English and so on. I've met people from everywhere and never have I seen such jugmental behaviour as I do here.
Gustavo Vieira That’s surprising considering Brazil has such a positive image around the world thanks to football, carnival, beautiful beaches, relaxed lifestyle, bossa nova and Gisele Bündchen!! Gisele Bundchen is a Brazilian with German ancestry and this should win more brownie points in Germany. 😀 India has pretty negative image in Germany thanks to poverty, overpopulation and different culture. I interacted with many people from different European countries including the Germans and French people and most of them are quite ignorant about India. I guess ignorance comes with negative views. But nonetheless the people I have met in Europe were very friendly and respectful to me and am glad to have visited and traveled around Europe.
@@GustavoVS11 The same things are applicable to India and Indians in general as well. The macho, misogynistic thing is a staple of Indian culture, and so is right wing, Hindu nationalism and social inequality and poverty. I expect Germans to have a much more negative view of India than Brazil and Brazilians; at least Brazil is a Latin, western country which treats women slightly better than Indian culture.
We had a French-German student exchange in 8th grade high school (Gymnasium). 2 weeks in each country. It was one party, very fun the whole time and one celebration and a permanent smooching. The young generation of both countries had no fear of contact and no historical ballast to carry around. This is how it should be with all peoples in Europe and in the whole world. À ta santé ! Prost! Cheers!
Je suis content que vous ayez engrangé autant d'expériences positives avec les Français
I am from France. I have been many times to Germany. The People are very kind and they loved my french accent. (I have studied German at school). German people like very much French people. They love our language and our way of being. 🤔Among my best friends, some are German. To live in Germany...? No...! I prefer to live in a sunny place .🌞
Can confirm... the accent is quite popular. I guess it's because what people associate with it. France is a beacon of high culture in the world whereas other accents you hear on German streets are more associated with migration because of poverty or refugees.

@@EasyFrench as a german i can say i love france and french people... dunno which problem so many people have with the german-french relationship and that it is really bad because of the war 1872.. lol... i dont care about this. love the language and culture
And tell me... what drugs did you use??
@@jaupolio the drug is called love and "just live"
@@nadinekaufmann6368 Nadine, do you know a German EMOTIONALLY? Then for how long? Did you ever experience moments in the middle of joy with them? Or suffering, a defeat or a victory for you to see/feel how they react with their HEART???
Great! These video is the kind I like. A lot of interview. I know you have to work hard to edit and do all the production details. Thanks a lot.
Entertaining video! I have once told you under one of your videos,that I was preparing for the DELF certificate with your help.I have passed the test and i am so happy, thank you so so much ,I cannot put my thankfulness into words 🥰!I would love to write French in this comment section, but unfortunately I am not able to do accents with my current mobile phone :(Anyways I really enjoyed this video and some of the assumptions are actually really funny (and true sometimes haha)
Félicitations !! Nous sommes très heureuses pour vous, et très heureuses d'avoir pu vous aider 🤗💐 N'hésitez pas à écrire en français même sans les accents 😉
J’aime beaucoup ce nouvel échange franco-allemand. C’est vraiment très intéressant et ça permet en outre de comparer la façon dont deux langues abordent un sujet conjoint. Vous devriez faire d’autres vidéos de ce type. À bientôt😘
C'est super bien pour apprendre de français ici je vais merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo et je attente pour pour les autres aussi ❤👍🌷
Merci beaucoup !
@@EasyFrench avec plaisir 🥰🇨🇵🇦🇫

Thanks for posting.
The gentleman at 4:30 is SUCH a character, love it.
4:57 damn, that was smooth af!
I loved the doctor-nurse guy blaahahahahah i laughed so hard, though I am not from France or Germany!
😂
He looked a bit offended :)
I love france. I remember visiting Paris as a child, seeing the Eiffel tower and going to Disneyland. Also their language sounds beautiful. Greetings from germany❤
Role play on first encounter as 14 years old, as recounted by a Frenchman to a rank stranger, that too on camera !! What not to love. Respect.
never ask a french about art. they'll wont't stop talking :D
Je suis allemand et j'adore la langue français et la France en général. Pour moi la France, c'est notre frère :)
Ca, ça fait plaisir à entendre :)
Les allemands roule comme des fous sur la route 😂
Dominik Ancuta, merci beaucoup :) On vous aime aussi 🇩🇪🇨🇵
Denke ich auch!Wir sind durch die Geschichte gebunden und mussen gemeinsahm weiter aufbauen!Ich habe auch viele Deutsche Freunde!

This is really great video like always. 🤗❤️🥰😊😍
Excellent Video 😉👍
Ich versteh zwar kein Wort aber da könnt ich stundenlang zuhören. Französisch ist so eine schöne Sprache! 👍
God bless Germany, merci à tous nos amis allemands, on vous aime
@@ihlcrq8732 Als ich das gerade las, ist mir doch tatsächlich ein Tränchen entwischt. Wenns nicht zwei waren!
we are brothers and sisters with too many unnecessary conflicts in the past. you find the same kind of people on both sides of the Rhine.
For sure, I love Germany and its citizens. Brits on the other hand......
@@charles1413 Britons are also only German and French (a mixture of Angles, Saxons and Normans) In principle you could also love them if they would not always run away of us Europeans ;-)
Yeah,Turks are living all over the World.
@@charles1413 no
@@baptistebrigand5882 No what?
Merci beaucoup
Besides me being german, i had to laugh from time to time equally seeing myself in what was said about us and also how you see yourselves. Nevertheless thanks for the vid and all the best wishes from germany :)
Une fois, je suis allée en Allemagne avec les autres élèves du cours d'allemand pour une sorte de stage (le projet Praxis). On y allait en train et il fallait changer de gare à Paris. La prof d'allemand m'accompagnait car j'étais en fauteuil, elle a demandé à des gens de nous aider et ils nous ont envoyées balader. Alors que quand je suis partie en voyage en Bavière avec ma mère et mon frère, on est allés à un musée à Nuremberg et un homme à l'entrée a vu que j'étais en fauteuil et il nous a tout de suite conduit à monte-charge. Les rues ne sont peut-être pas adaptées (c'est quand même une cité médiévale) mais au moins, les gens aident volontiers les autres et ils sont respectueux.
Il suffit d'écouter les deux épisodes pour comprendre les différences entre les français et les allemands. Ce n'est pas la réponse en soi que l'intention et la manière de répondre qui importe ici! Super intéressant pour moi qui ne suis ni l'un ni l'autre. En tant que canadien, je vous trouve tous les deux intéressants à votre manière! Tschüss!
Commentaire très intéressant. J'aimerais bien que vous développiez si vous avez le temps. Je suis un Français germanophile, j'ai vécu et étudié en Allemagne, suis souvent en contact avec des Allemands, et comme vous je trouve que nos différences sont plus dans la manière de parler, le comportement et l'attitude et moins dans le mode de vie - toujours plus globalisé et individualiste - comme le pensent certains.
Analyse intéressante ! Pourriez-vous développer? Quelles différences avez-vous notées?
Meilleures salutations au Québec. ⚜️
mercie I love your Easy French it is like being in Paris where I work at L’Oree du B En 1958. I was sent from l’ecole hotelier de Genes and. More i live in Boston and more i love French and Italian my mother language. Excuse my English i would like to write in French but i still make des erreurs. Very good programxxxxx
kudos for the honesty.
Même si nous les Allemands ne le montrons pas toujours, nous adorons la France. Vous êtes nos voisins préférés! Vive l'amitié franco-allemande et beaucoup d'amour pour tous les français😘🇫🇷❤
On vous aime aussi ;) 🇩🇪🇨🇵 Mais chut il ne faut pas le dire tout fort nous avons une réputation de " pays qui n'aime personne " à tenir ;)
vive l'amitié franco-allemande, je suis français, mes grand parents étaient alsaciens et allemands
Je trouve ça dommage que le vingtième siècle ait tâché nos relations de cousins... De plus, j'ai une admiration sans faille pour la musique classique et romantique des pays germanophones et pour les lumières allemandes !

as a french-german, this was very interesting, as i relate to both sides of the spectrum lol
Super video et trés intéressante, merci :-)
Merci à vous pour ce commentaire !
Your all videos are extremely awesome. But request you to please keep the font size of the French & English transcriptions a little bigger size because it is hurting to the eyes with this small font size. Merci en avance !
Au Royaume Uni tout est autorisé sauf ce qui est interdit, En Allemagne tout est interdit sauf ce qui est autorisé, en Russie tout est interdit même ce qui est autorisé, en France tout est autorisé même ce qui est interdit.
Et merci Winston
@@kuroyami84 Comment ça ? Il existe des personnes cultivées sur internet ?
Il a dit ça parce qu’en Angleterre « Everything which is not forbidden is allowed » est un principe constitutionnel appelé le « Lotus Principle ». C’est vraiment typique de l’auto congratulation des Anglais qui se voient toujours au centre du monde.
En France tout est interdit.
@@thewirah1 non, on est juste tellement bordélique que la moindre règle nous horrifie XD
I love their first expression after they heard the 1st question!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi, so we had a meeting yesterday and we do all agree about not giving a fricking fluck about what they think. Best whishes.
The doctor and nurse role-play was EVERYTHING 😀😀😀😀
🤣
I am from Germany and I think the French are very nice people! If you have a French friend, you have a friend for a livetime 🥰👍🍀
For a German who lives in the US for a very long time this was quite interesting. France and Germany today are THE driving forces in Europe. And I -as a post war German- am very proud that the 2 countries who were at each other's throats for such a long time and in such horrendous ways have come to not only coexist but to collaborate in the best sense of the word. The video -probably to be expected- reveals a lot of stereotypes and cliché. So let me add another one: Germans love the French but do not respect them; French respect the Germans but do not love them
Wow der letzte Satz trifft es auf den Punkt.
so I can't produce a hole french sentence but I understand nearly everything because it's written there too, I like the video stile. I think I will listen now oftener to french and try to understand more
Our videos are great to practice listening comprehension!
Nice smile Judith!
I would love to be at a dinner table with a Frenchman, a German, an Italian, a Dutchman and a Spaniard. That would be a night to remember.
I would love to be at a restaurant looking at an Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Greek talking and drinking. From the other table I’d yell every 5min: QUIET!!!
Need a swiss to regulate the debate
And a belgian to make fun of them !
Lunatic Dandy I’m not sure the Belgians can make fun of anyone...
@@daniluchison Belgians can make fun of everything (particularly of themselves).
I love the sound of french.
:)
U shld all be united belive e u will have great works
Allemand et humour... C'est un très bon exemple pour faire comprendre le sens du mot "oxymore"... (à l'inverse des Anglais...)
"Quelque chose que vous enviez à l'Allemagne? Leur PIB" 😂
you can even see the differences between French and German people through the interviewees in these two videos 😂
Learned some french
5:00 best haha und danach der mir persöhnlich am besten gefallende weil er sehr reflektiert dabei ist.
Please, bigger English subtitles, difficult to read! Good program
Agree!
J'ai adoré cet épisode! Personne a parlé des guerres mondiales? Incroyable!?
This man does ! lol 4:28
He makes a very light reference to it, but he does not directly talk about the world wars.
Même si les 2 guerres sont des passages important dans l'histoire commune des 2 pays, je ne vois pas pourquoi ils parleraient de la guerre quand la question est "quelles sont les différences entre les allemands et les français (en 2020) ?"
My great, great grand father was from Berlin Germany and he married a French woman from Paris!. I tried to learn French in high school but kept getting my Spanish education mixed up with French, the French teacher kicked me out of her class. Now in my old age, I am learning how to speak German. I had enough of the Spanish, I used it so much when I worked in a jail for ten years. I wanted to change and needed a change even though there is no one to talk with.
j'ai rien compris. Qu'est qui c'est passé avec votre éducation Spagnole que la profeseure vous a envoyé balader ?
Merci beaucoup mon très mignon professeurs. je vous aime ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
un ami italien me disait que les allemands étaient des français organisés et les français sont des allemands désorganisés, je pense que ce n'est pas une si mauvaise définition
Les italiens etl'organisation c'est pas leur qualité première je dirais
C'est une drôle de définition 😄
Ahah! Eh oui, ça n'est pas une si mauvaise définition! Au moins elle a le mérite de montrer que les différences entre Français et Allemands, souvent prônées des 2 côtés, sont en réalité toutes relatives et, à mon goût, un peu surfaites. On est plus proches qu'on ne le croit ou qu'on ne veut bien le croire. Cultures germanique et latine sont des catégories qui ont l'avantage de rassurer mais l'inconvénient de diviser. Et qui sont de moins en moins pertinentes. N'oublions pas qu'on vit dans une société de plus en plus globalisée...
Les français sont des hommes latines mais les allemands sont des germaniques. Culturellement et tout c'est très différent
On pourrait rajouter que les allemands sont nos cousins « germains » car nous avons le même grand-père ( Charlemagne / Karl der. Groß) mais comme notre mère était Gallo-Romaine et c’est pour cela que notre langue maternelle est latine . Du coup on peut dire aussi que les italiens, les espagnols et les portugais sont aussi nos cousins. Pour les anglais , c’est le contraire de nous : leur père était Franco-normand mais leur mère était saxonne donc c’est pour cela qu’ils parlent une langue germanique : mais du coup nous sommes doublement cousins avec eux non?
Genial ! Mes deux langues se parlent ...
🇫🇷🥰🇩🇪
To date,Gare de l’Est is the only Parisian station I haven’t passed through. It is, however the scene in parts of La Femme de l’Aviateur; one of Rohmer’s funniest.
4:30 best part, it's a real big different !!
