Hello everyone!
My name is Sara Henrietta and I’m a Swedish YouTuber.
On my channel, I usually do vlogs, but today I’m guest vlogging for EF.
Since their channel is about languages and traveling, I’m going to do a language challenge.
I have Isabelle with me. Hello!
Isabelle’s going to teach me how to speak French. Yeah. Bonjour!
Bonjour! That means “hello,” right?
And “merci” is thank you? What? "Merci"?
“Thank you very much” is “merci beaucoup.”
"Beaucoup"? “Beaucoup” means “much.”
Much. "Merci beaucoup". "Merci beaucoup!"
Let’s do the first sentence.
Hi. My name is Sara. I’m 21 years old and I’m Swedish.
And in French, that is ….
Okay, okay. Bonjour...
It sounds like Japanese or something! It’s so true!
This is so wrong.
Very good. Super. Was it good?
Very good, except for the Japanese part, but I think that came from me, too.
That’s another challenge. Exactly!
Sentence number two. Yes. Sentence number two is ….
Excuse me. Where’s the nearest airport? Okay. And what is that in French?
In French, it would be...
Port? Uh, that sounds like “porn” in Swedish.
Excuse me. Where is the nearest airport? Yeah, exactly.
Sentence number three. It was nice to meet you.
In French, it would be...
I like it!
That sounds like Chinese!
Number four. Excuse me, where is the toilet?
Where’s the toilet? That’s good to know. It would be...
You speak very posh. Excuse me, where are the toilets?
Sentence number five. I love you, my love.
I love you, my love. It is...
I love you, my love. Good!
“Bye” is “au revoir.”
À la prochaine. That means “see you next time.”
Thank you, Isabelle, for teaching me French. I’ve been there once, but I was a small kid.
Thank you. Now I can go there and speak a little bit.
They don’t speak so much English, right? No.
They know English, but they don’t want to speak it, right?
Most people speak it now, but they’re of course proud of their language.
They’re likely to speak French with you when you try it.
Even if you can’t and you try it, they’ll be like “Oh! Very good.”
Thank you everyone for watching. I hope you enjoyed this challenge and that you learned something.
And if you think my French was good, give this video a thumbs-up.
We’ll see you again soon, I hope. Bye! Au revoir!
