Note on the subtitles:
I am a French learner myself so I frequently make errors when I'm speaking. I try to highlight these errors in the subtitles by putting errors in red and corrections in green. However these subtitles have been written by me, so there are potentially also mistakes in the subtitles and corrections!
Hopefully errors will be infrequent: you should check the comments section for corrections that viewers suggest, and consult a French teacher if you wish to be sure that a certain phrase is correct.
This is great. I’m studying french and this is exactly what I’m looking for! Keep up the videos they help so much !
Thanks Nick! Good luck with your studying!
Salut Aurella. J'ai remarqué quelques petites erreurs
1:40 - on ne dit jamais « il est » avant un déterminant. Vous auriez dû dire « c'est mon deuxième cousin ». Si vous voulez en savoir plus, je connais une bonne vidéo où j'ai appris bien la différence.
2:10 - le mot que vous cherchiez est « finnois ».
3:02 - savoir non, connaître oui.
Bonne continuation !
I missed this video! How exciting (also 48th episode oh my goodness you've come so far)
You're french is amazing all of you verbs (conjugaisons) were right on spot. Congrats! Cheers from Quebec.
Thank you :) :)
Your French improves with each video! Bravo!
Thanks Calum!
Hi, Aurella I think you are a really beutifull person. I'm from Mexico but I speak English and I'm practicing my French with your Chanel! Tank you you re really special
Finally a video yay! I love your videos.
Yay! Thanks Maria :D
I've looking into my French heritage, but I've been told because he was a Huguenot, there aren't a lot of records left, most of them were destroyed during the prosecution of the protestants. But he is the reason I have been studying french on and off for the past 40 years.
Amazing! I'm so inspired by your progress!
Thanks Cassandra! 😄
Je suis français et je t’ai très bien compris ! Bravo t’as un bon français. À bientôt :) !
I never thought on doing that, but now I'm very curious, but i think it will be very hard for me to find out anything because I know everyone is from different locations. Well maybe someday. Nice video
Hi Idulinka! You never know unless you try! Good luck 😊😊
Love the vid, also you look super beautiful and your eye colour is 😍
Thank you Moonlight Gomez 😊😊
I’ve been watching you a little while now and your French seems to be improving quite a bit. You were able to speak so quickly, in my opinion. I’m also learning the language. And I got my Ancestry DNA done very recently... 97% Eastern European... no surprises haha.
I love this chanel. God damn it why I didnt find you 3 years ago 😭
Glad to hear you like my channel Hana! Thank you
Je suis americainne, mais l'histoire de ma famille est Huguenot. J'aime genealogie, but no one else in my family really cares. I get a lot of eye rolling when I start talking family history.
Oh, I get the eye rolling too!! haha :D
Ton français est vraiment compréhensible, et pour nous les français ton accent anglais c’est le top ! :) bonne vidéo et j’espère que tu trouveras les réponses à tes questions sur ta famille :)
Comme ont dit en France je te dit merde :)
(bonne chance)
Very interesting! I love all those "Who do you think you are" type of shows and one day would love to get stuck into researching my family history. Does it cost a lot?
Hi Claire!
A lot of information is available for free online but knowing what's available and how to use it can make it tricky and time consuming which is where websites like Ancestry come in which offer a lot of tools to help organise your research and expand it. I tend to use a mix of free and paid sites.
I'm currently paying about £14 a month for an Ancestry subscription which gives me access to all the UK censuses, parish records etc. To some that might be a lot but I don't go out clubbing, buy designer clothes etc, so I see it as my hobby and leisure. Often you can get quite far back with just that subscription but sometimes the information you need isn't available online and you need to order certificates to find out names/birthday etc which normally cost between £6-£15.
It can get more expensive if your ancestors span across more than one country and the further you go back it can be harder to find records and the harder it can be to find proof that someone is a family member, meaning you may need to physically visit places to get information. If you want more information than just your ancestors birth and death dates, you might want to pay subscriptions to newspaper archives and stuff like that too, which can make it more expensive.
So I guess in conclusion the price depends on how far you want to go back, how in depth you want to go, how much proof/certainty you want and luck of your ancestors info being in the free online archives.
Whoa, long comment! - Hope it helps anyway!
Wow! Thank you so much for the information and such a detailed comment! I agree that £14 a month on something you enjoy is totally worth it. A lot of people say that same to me when they find out I'm taking 3 language classes a week - but wait, doesn't that cost a lot? And I reply the same as you - I don't go out clubbing, I can't remember the last time I bought clothes and I cut my own hair lol. It's my hobby so for me the price is worth it :)
Are you planning on doing more videos on your family history?
We miss you!
More videos on french pleasee :)
Que dire parfait pour ma part je ne fais aucune recherche sur mon arbre généalogique
Ah, pourquoi ?!
Bonjour Aurella,
Réaliser son arbre généalogique, demande beaucoup de travail, de temps et de patience.
Car il faut contacter tous ses proches : frères, soeurs, enfants, petits-enfants, parents, grands-parents, oncles, tantes, neveux, nièces , cousins, cousines, arrières grands_parents, etc.
Super, tes vidéos utiles et sympathiques ;>)

Hi Aurella,
To realize his family tree, needs a lot of work, time and patience.
Because, it's necessary to contact all his family : brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins, cousins, defer grandparents, and so on.
Great, your useful and nice videos ;>)
Merci C MiMi :) :)
Nous te remercions, aussi :)
Parce que je fais autre chose je le ferai mais plus tard pour le moment ce n'est pas d'actualité voilà Aurélia
How can I look for my family tree? I have family in Australia but I don't have any idea about how can I meet their
Hi Luchii, you have to do research to build you tree which involves collecting records about when people were born, got married, died etc. The most popular website for this is Ancestry. They often have free trials available, so you could build your tree for free and look for other people researching the same tree - they could be related to you!
Alternative is to take a DNA test, for example with 23andMe, or AncestryDNA and look for DNA matches in Australia :)
Hope this helps!
J'ai pensé que j'suis bon mais j'suis de la merde comparé à toi
Keep going! Bonne chance :)
What do you use to edit your videos and put the subtitles in?
Hi, I use Cyberlink Powerdirector to edit. The program does have a special feature for subtitling but it doesn't allow me to do two languages and change the colour/bold/italic etc, so the subtitles you see in these videos are just normal text...lots of text boxes.
It really takes a long time. I would suggest using CZcams's built in CC/subtitle feature instead if you can.
