Description: Numbers are supposed to be universal, right? They’re the language of math and that transcends language. Easy peasy. Well, that’s what I thought until I moved to France and found myself surprised by all the ways the French use numbers differently than how we do in the U.S. Let's talk about these 5 ways that the French and Americans use numbers differently. 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?

It seems like life in France is thought of as a golden ticket of sorts and is a cure for everything that ails us back home. But the reality of living abroad isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s not for everyone. And I call BS on anyone who says otherwise. 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?

Yeahhhhhhhhhh no. Sorry, it doesn’t work like that! Language learning is a journey and it’s not a linear one. You’ll have good days and a bunch of bad ones along the way and it’s all normal. But what about people who forgo the process entirely? I’m talking about foreigners who move to France and never learn the language beyond a very basic level. Let’s talk about it. 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?

People park their cars or golf carts and then get out and walk around to admire the lights. It got me in the holiday spirit!

If you speak more than one language, how many know you in your mother tongue versus your 2nd or even 3rd language? It's an interesting language learning topic for those of us who live abroad in France or elsewhere and use only a foreign language to communicate. Does our true personality come across when we aren't speaking our mother tongue and how much should this matter? Let's talk about it. #languagelearning #livingabroad #americaninfrance 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?

Nine times out of 10, if I don't understand what someone is saying to me in French, it's because they're using an English word/name/place and I'm just not realizing it because it's unrecognizable with a French accent.

This story took place right after my mom passed away at a French grocery store in November 2021 and for several reasons was the worst experience I've ever had in France. For a little while, it left me shaken, angry, and fearful of interacting with people. I'm sharing it with you now that I've had time to process the experience because there was an important life lesson to be learned -- always trust your gut.

There are things here that are completely foreign to an American kitchen — not just in terms of flavors, but in how they’re cooked, served, and even thought about. I quickly learned that my idea of “gourmet” was a little different from the French, and that I had a lot to learn about how simple, everyday foods could be turned into something so much more. Let's talk about French food culture and get into five foods I didn't know about until I moved to France. 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?
