      @@jetaddicted I sympathize a lot with the way that you feel. I remember opening up about feeling more American that Mexican to some of my Mexican family and they became angry at me. They accused me of being ashamed of my heritage and wanting to be more "White", whatever that means. I am not ashamed of my heritage and I am actually very prideful of it, but whenever I go to Mexico, there is always that "disconnect". I try very hard to talk to my cousins and people of my age group but I simply missed out on the experience of actually growing up there which really does isolate you.
      With that being said, I have come to the realization that I actually do not have to pick a side. No one is pointing a gun to our heads forcing us to choose what nationality we feel most connected to. Us the children of immigrants, mixed marriages, and any other circumstance that has placed them in the middle of two worlds have a beautiful gift that majority of the world will never experience. Do not be sad because you are unsure of who you are, be glad that you are a child of the world!

    As a French person, the funniest part of the video was trying to guess what the actual words Armand was teaching them were from the mangled versions Josh and Ollie were saying :)
    No one has said "sacrebleu" out loud since 1900 or thereabout, but actually, like many old curse words, "bleu" (meaning blue) was used to replace "Dieu" (God) as it was considered blasphemy to invoke the name of the Lord. So the original, sacrilegeous, version would be "sacré Dieu" (good God, more or less), which no one would say because for a long time France was a deeply catholic country, especially in rural areas, people would instead use "sacrebleu" instead. But no one living ever uses it, though I can't speak for ghosts or the occasional overdramatic ironic theater or history student.
    A similar case would be "morbleu", which used to be "mordieu", or "god's death".
    Thank you Armand for preventively telling people "à jolie vite" is not actual French, I'm sure you've spared lots of us heart attacks :) And yes, travelers to France should definitely branch out from Paris, there are so many amazing places to see. Brittany is beautiful, would love to see you guys visit!

      Blue was the colors of royalty, since they were supposed to be of divine descent as well.
      Thus, "sacré bleu" was supposed to be about royal blood in general. This is where "palsambleu" comes from as well. It means "Par le sang bleu" "By the blue blood" which would be noble blood.

We're nice, you just gotta say "bonjour excusez-moi" before asking us for something (hello, excuse me). It's basic manners in France.

    French Canadian here!

The MOST common day-to-day terms used here (in my family, at least) are Câlice (the chalice), Criss (christ), Esti (the host), Tabarkak (the tabernacle), Ciboire (ciborium), and Sacrement (also sacrement lol). Using them in France is hilarious 'cause people just think you're a religious nut... 😅

      I used to see sacré bleu in old french books I read. So, sacré bleu was used in the past but not anymore. Since it used to be used by the french, the English in the past must have heard it and kept it in the their beliefs of how french people spoke. That caricature of the frenchman must have persisted today. Like you said, Sacré bleu is sacred god. But bleu here is a replacement for the word dieu (god in french), since saying the word god in that way is considered a blasphemy for Christians. So dieu was replaced by bleu cause it rhymes. It's like saying gosh darn it instead of god damn it. I guess it's not used anymore by the french, cause the french aren't heavily as religious as before.

      Well as an American there's no such thing as real American because depending on what region you live in or state or sometimes even just neighborhoods the way people speak their accents words they use can be completely different it's like going into another country with a whole bunch of slang LOL the United States is huge we are a very large landmass and we are made up of all different kinds of people from all over the world so we have all different stuff everywhere I happen to live in Colorado which is The melting pot I can walk in any direction and get any different types of foods you go in one neighborhood the billboards are in Spanish you go in another neighborhood there's all kinds of African stuff and that's just in my own state so good luck with how to speak American because American is English by the way LOL

    I know we'd all LOVE to see more of Armand in your videos, he's so kind, intelligent and has a very similar sense of humour to both Josh and Ollie.

    I honestly feel like Armand has this chemistry with the boys when on camera and they just make comedy gold! Anytime I see Armand I know it is going to be hilarious and a good episode! (All episodes are honestly good episodes...) But this video is perfect! And Armand really took this seriously and wrote everything down just to in the end make fun of Ollie's French speaking skills... ahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

    As a French/British as well that grew up in France, I totally relate to Armand's identity crisis 😂 I'm always confused when I have to answer a question about my identity 😅

      Same, do you have one British parent and one French parent or both British but in France? My mother is French but I live in the UK and always have and I definitely just feel both
