★ Salut CZcams ★ Ça va? Thanks for stopping by! I’m Rosie, a New Zealander living as an Expat in France: conqueror of French administration, culture-shock junkie and (very) slowly learning how to hack life in France.
I’m here to share stories, tips and insights on life in Paris and navigating the French culture. I also love to make videos about New Zealand, Travel, Language Learning, Cross-Cultural relationships and other feel-good topics.
Being an expat in Paris is never easy but I studied here, hustled hard, got those visas, married a Frenchman, and lo and behold I'm still here 5 years later working for a French multinational in Paris (#CorporateLife).

It isn’t a stereotype… French do stink.
French - the language of non used letters 😂. They could short all of their textes up to 50% if they write only the used letters 😉
I don’t think we care. We are not going to change how we say it lol 😂. Tomayto tomahto 🤷🏾♂️
-1 Oui, on a toujours été très ouvert au monde. L'universalisme est une création française et est très ancrée dans notre culture. -2 La famille est la cellule de base de notre société. Le repos dominical est conçu en bonne partie pour la famille. Nos parents ont plus d'expérience, c'est pour cela qu'on demande conseils et que l'on s'y confie. 3- Quand on dit à une femme qu'on l'aime, ou pire encore si on la colle, elle se barre... Donc forcément on le dit le plus tard possible. On est très romantique. Le problème, c'est que ça n'a plus trop la cote... En fait, c'est parce que vous ne considérer pas être en relation tant qu'il n'y a pas eu d'engagement verbal, alors que nous on se considère ensemble à partir du premier baisé. 4- Paranoïa ? Non, c'est que le privé est privé... C'est notre jardin secret.
It’s funny changes things. I saw your most recent video on this topic which is 180 degrees from this one.
She died or divorced, one of the two.
This is fabulous! Thanks for this vid! I'm writing a sequel to my book that features Ernest Rutherford and his daughter, so I'll be slipping in some of these into his dialog (era-appropriate!). Cheers!
aucun intérêt. Un simple énoncé de clichés tous plus éculés les uns que les autres.

Thanks for this video! one quick question. My french partner and I (nonEU) live in Australia. Can we apply for this from outside of France? Also, it is not clear to me if PACS can lead to a citizenship for a partner. In case we eventually need to move to Europe. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge
Yeah… I’m French… from paris… living in Chicago… working in advertising… so that show was made to trigger me
I know this is an older video. That was very enlightening, thank you very much 🙏🏼 So many options and possibilities. With these recommendations how does that affect you if you're from the US on a long stay Visa?? Cheers 💖 Can you do an updated one please,😊 with new information you've learned in more recent years.

Thing is that you pronounce them like people around pronounces them to be understood. Try to pronounce a few finnish brands like Marimekko or Nokia. Every non- finnish speaker mis-pronounces them, but are understood.
I think that French people think that the French are superior culturally, and otherwise.
They’re plenty of fat people in France… especially since they eat fast food etc…
Unless owning a water well, everybody has to pay for water in France. And bidets were quite outdated until Covid 19, they seem to make their come back nowdays due to toilet paper war in 2020 😊
Are you a native New Zillandah?
"Give inchi"? Shamps Elee sis? Gaolteeyah? Vooton? I have never heard any Brit say this. Who is this aimed at? People in Queensland?
All the things I loved picking up by living around the French. I enjoyed predicting each one as you gave an explanation first, then the sound. I think my favorite is "bof"
Too much focus on selling and making profit your theme. I was looking forwards to a french lesson, not all this marketing.
You all don’t want to hear the bad stuff that happened to me in the US … made me a very cautious woman … the world is dangerous… in most countries or big cities. Medical system is not that great either.
Learning how to pronounce French from an Ozzie...yeah...
I’m French living in the US and some of what you’re complaining about is the same in the US… in particular the scammers
I heard that in addition to the question "should I have a kid" you can ask "do I want to be a parent?", hopefully that will give you some clarity. I grew up very emotionally neglected as a child, had many responsibilities with my family in my 20's, I only started getting to know who I truly am and living for myself in my early 30's. I started my healing journey (to heal my body and inner child) when I was 36. When I was 37, I panic (because I am getting older) so I tried for a kid, got pregnant, and had a miscarriage. When I was pregnant, I felt so much love and joy, but also so much fear and anxiety. For me the fear and anxiety were bigger than the love and joy. So I think the experience of being pregnant and having a kid is only worth it if the love and joy are bigger than any other emotion. Now at 38, I decided to focus on taking better care of myself and healing my inner child, as this seems to be a priority and my life purpose. Sometimes my decision gets swayed because people would pressuring me into having a kid. But if I sit in meditation and ask myself what I really want at this moment, the answer is "rest, care, love", the answer is not "a kid". I would say for anyone who wants a kid, once you found the right partner, then start trying early. For anyone who decided not to have kid, you can check out this CZcams channel Wife Without Kids. I think this topic should be discussed more openly so women can make the right decision without feeling shamed or pressured.
It's perfect to me that professional and private lives go in different rails. If someone wants to disclose a personal thing, he/she will.
Chur!! You’re a cuzzy!!! Awesome
Jesus christ get to the video
Bonjour! Excellent video. Your activism resonates with me. We are retired educators from Portland. We just finished a long stay in Europe: 5 months helping a new school open in Lvivv, one month in Krakow learning about WWII, and a month in Tallinn. We look forward to moving to France, probably Toulon, after we sell our Portland condo. We appreciate the French healthcare system. Merci beaucoup! Dean & Cindy
This was fascinating to hear. Also, you ladies are beautiful
For an anglo not too bad
@enrique Merci
Well, NZ does have wallabies. And they're a pest.
School was tough but it was definitely not memorization (other than languages and math). The French donc get tests with a,b,c,d, you are taught the subject and then when they test you, they give you a sentence and then you write a 4-8 page paper with what you’ve learned based on that sentence and you’d have 4 hours to do it. I don’t miss it lol, but I found American schooling very easy 😂
You're an incredible storyteller- I felt like it was happening to me
Because they don't have genetics for gaining weight. I am Croatian with Montenegrin and Italian background. I live in Edinburgh. In my family nobody has genetics for gaining weight apart from me, my sister, my cousin and my auntie. I am 5'8 per 66 kg because I am on insulin-resistance medications and appetite suppressant supplements, I have also gluten and dairy allergies. Until 2 years ago I was 83 kg. I had 4 pregnancies, and 2 c-sections, no breastfeeding. I have to count every single calorie. In France, I struggled finding non dairy food in 2015. If I ate like my husband I would be obese and with arteriosclerosis/diabetes/heart failure. He is not french but Scottish. He does not put on weight even though he eats junk food.
If those tests are that easy, I'd not accept less than C2 in ielts ... wish me luck! :)
How lá baguete 🥖 is a pinnes?
It is sad that when people today see "Céline" they only know an overpriced brand and not the great French writer Céline. More dumbing down of society.
For those who can read French, may I suggest reading a few comic books by Binet, "Les Bidochon". You will get a wider view of France and the French. You will also learn a good bit of slang with a lot of laughs.
