Hello everyone! What are your thoughts on this episode? Has it ever been a struggle to order something in a French-speaking country?

[ScaredycatG]

I went to Paris two years ago for work. At first, when ordering food, I was speaking English and I found that the staff we not very friendly. After two days I relied on my not so good high-school French and tried to order food in French. Two things happened: 1. The staff were a lot more polite. 2. Most would straight away switch to English! 😆 Basically, I learnt that French people are very friendly if you make a little effort to speak French and they are actually more than happy to converse in English, if they see you’re struggling with French!

I love when they use the French that I am practicing to use as well in the daily life. I love the real-life examples!

I love this! I am going to Paris for the first time in Feb 2021 and I want to learn how to converse!

Good afternoon. I'm from the Philippines, and my name is Sian Kim Tapayan. This is a really good film that demonstrates how local French people order a baguette and pastries in accordance with their tradition.

I fully agree with "Scaredy" below. I have been studying French in Sancerre at a French immersion course and enjoyed it so much that I rented an apartment for a year. I do pretty well with ordering a baguette and a pain au chocolat. And if you try to speak French in the tiny town of Sancerre, the local people are very nice and will help you. When I tried to order a mille feuille, one of the best sweets ever!, the proprietor of the boulangerie had a great time trying to teach me how to pronounce those words! They appreciate you at least trying. But, it's like that in our own country, right? Whichever country in which you live. If tourists at least try, bad as their attempt may be, their trying is appreciated.

Bonne journée. Je m'appelle Claudine et je viens des Philippines. Merci d'avoir réalisé ce genre de vidéo ; cela m'aide à en apprendre davantage sur la langue française.

Bonjour! When I was in France, ordering some things at a bakery and tried using my French but when I added my fingers, to show how many, they laughed because we count on our hands differently. (Americans use their first finger for one, in France, the thumb is used to show one; in America, we use the first two fingers and in France the thumb and first fingers are used.) I think this information is very important, and could be shown easily. Thank you so much, I'll continue to watch and learn! Merci beaucoup! :D

Bonjour! Je suis Joshua des Philippines, c'est un très bon film qui montre comment les Français locaux commandent une baguette et des pâtisseries conformément à leur tradition.

[kouandtin]

Sinon il y a plus simple. " Bonjour, une baguette s'il vous plaît" " merci, au revoir"

[longhornglfr]

Really appreciated the slower pace by the hosts in this one. And the recaps. Could follow about 90% vs the normal 50%.

Love you guys, this is amazing and thank you so much for all the effort you're putting in filming, editing and subtitling in two languages, great job!

Bonjour, Je m'appelle Shaira. I'm a student learning French. Your videos have taught me a lot of basic conversational phrases to use in everyday life in France. Vous êtes incroyables, merci. Avec amour des Philippines :))

[TheAmandhyana]

C’est la première fois que j’entends cette façon de dire “je vais VOUS prendre une baguette” mais on en apprend tous les jours. Merci !

[colleginodatoon]

Bonjour! Je m'apelle Gino, Je viens des Philippines et j'apprends beaucoup grâce à vos vidéos. J'adore découvrir la culture française, surtout la pâtisserie! Merci!.

Friendly warning: the "galette des rois" has a small ceramic figurine (fève) hidden inside. Don't break a tooth or swallow it. It's used to determine who gets the crown.👑

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Jaylyn et je viens des Philippines, ce que j'ai appris dans cet épisode est la bonne façon de commander une baguette ordinaire et une baguette traditionnelle dans une boulangerie parisienne.
La première chose à faire c'est de dire "bonjour", il ne faut pas l'oublier et on peut ensuite commander et enfin, on dit "merci beaucoup", etc. J'aime la discipline et la joie des Parisiens, le la façon dont ils interagissent avec l’intervieweur est très polie.

[adbef]

When ordering something in a bakery, we often say "Je vais VOUS prendre une baguette" which is something like "I will take a baguette from you"

[cagayanmarkr.]

Bonjour, je viens des Philippines. Merci pour cette vidéo ; elle m’a beaucoup aidé à apprendre les bases pour commander une baguette en français. J’apprécie aussi de découvrir la politesse de la culture française lors de la commande de baguettes. J’ai hâte d’essayer les baguettes traditionnelles et classiques lors de ma visite à Paris.

0:44 This lady should be employed by a large publishing house and put in charge of creating encyclopedia articles :-) Fantastic description of the process of purchasing a baguette!
