YouTube can be a great source of information, inspiration and motivation when it comes to learning French. That's why we put together a list of 50 amazing French YouTubers that you can use in your French-learning journey. Hopefully by looking through some of the French YouTubers below you'll find a couple that appeal to you. Let's get started...

Few French Youtubers are bigger or more well-known than Cyprien. This popular YouTuber from Paris has had an active channel since 2009 and bases the majority of his videos off of everyday activities and occurrences making them both hilarious and relatable. If you're looking for a fun and somewhat easy-to-understand YouTuber to start watching, I'd definitely recommend Cyprien.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: French/English

Norman fait des vidéos

Another extremely popular Youtuber whose videos revolve around the funny things that happen in life. Very similar to Cyprien (in fact they often appear in each other's videos), so if you find that you enjoy Cyprien's videos then I'm positive that you'll love Norman as well.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: English

On YouTube since 2011 Natoo is another French YouTuber whose videos primarily revolve around comedy and everyday life. One of the few female comedians on this list, her videos are among the best (and funniest) out there.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: English

La Ferme Jerome

La Ferme Jerome started his YouTube channel in 2011 and had a great run for a few years. Sadly his YouTube channel has been dormant since 2014. Fortunately for us he has a nice library of funny high-quality videos still on his channel. Most of his videos are done in more of a vlogging format which may not be for everyone. Nevertheless, I highly recommend checking him out.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

Mister V's situation is similar to La Ferme Jerome in that his channel was much bigger previously. Although Mister V still puts out videos they have definitely become less frequent. Still a great Youtuber to check out and one that I recommend highly. Side Note: Mister V speaks super fast, so I wouldn't recommend him to anyone other than those who are VERY confident in their oral comprehension.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

Le Rire Jaune

Online since 2012, Le Rire Jaune is another Youtuber who creates videos on a variety of subjects often poking fun at his half-Asian background. He also has a few vlogs of his travels to various places. Overall a very funny and high-quality YouTube channel. Although his videos are entertaining some of his subject matter can be considered a little complicated so this is another YouTuber where you need to have a rather extensive French vocabulary.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: French/English

One of my favorite parts of Andy's videos is that they are actually pretty easy to understand for those with a moderate comprehension of French. Andy is another YouTube who makes videos on funny and relatable things in life. With over 40 amazing videos at the time this article was written you'll find plenty of great videos to laugh at.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

Mr Antoine Daniel

Mr Antoine Daniel is another hysterical YouTuber whose videos generally revolve around different themes such as difference countries and internet videos he found funny. For the most part his videos are a little more structured than some of the other Youtubers mentioned in this list. For those who prefer listening content you can listen to his series titled "Clyde Vanilla", which is a science-fiction audio series. Best enjoyed while wearing a headset so you can easily hear all of the different voices.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: French/English (Not on Clyde Vanilla)

Français Authentique

The Français Authentique Youtube channel is run by Johan Tekfak and is one of the best YouTube channels out there to help you improve your French. This is because his whole channel is devoted to just that! Johan creates educational videos that explain those pesky difficulties that French learners encounter in their studies. Best of all. He speaks VERY slowly so you should little difficulty understanding him. If you aren't ready to fully tackle some of the other YouTubers in this list then I recommend starting with Français Authentique.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: French

Joueur Du Grenier

Joueur Du Grenier is probably the largest French gaming YouTuber you can find. Instead of posting videos of him simply playing games (i.e. Let's Plays) or honestly reviewing them, he posts comedic reviews of traditionally bad older video games. The quality of most of his videos is amazing and you can tell a lot of work goes into them. They are also longer than most of the videos from the other YouTubers on this list. Even if you aren't a fan of video games I'd still highly recommend Joueur Du Grenier due to his hilarious videos that clearly have some budget behind them.

Genre: Comedy/Gaming

Subtitles: French/English

Hugo Tout Seul

Hugo Tout Seul is probably the hardest French YouTuber to understand on this list. Nevertheless his videos are more than worth a watch. He lends his comedic talents to creating videos on a variety of everyday topics from "what it's like to live with a roommate" to "friendship between women and men". Although his videos are very similar to that of Norman, Cyprien, Natoo and several others I would put him on another level due to the high-level of comprehension needed to understand him.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

Seroths Gaming

Time to switch gears completely and just into the world of horror gaming. Seroths is a YouTube gamer who specializes in "Let's Plays" for horror games. Looking through his channel you'll find a wide selection of Let's Play videos from all sorts of games most of which are of the horror genre. The commentary he has in his videos is quite enjoyable and really makes you want to finish the game with him. If you're into horror video games at all then you need to watch some of his videos.

Genre: Gaming

Subtitles: None

Studio Bagel

Studio Bagel isn't one YouTuber, but rather a group of YouTubers. Studio Bagel puts out great parodies, sketches and even fake trailers. Their videos contain several YouTubers you may already know (if you've looked through some of the other channels on this list) Check them out and see what you think.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

With some of the most random videos out there Golden Moustache is also a channel that houses several known YouTubers (and some you don't know). Their videos are typically of very high-quality and will definitely give you a laugh. Take a look through their channel and see who you already know.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitle: None (except for a few videos)

Seb La Frite

Unlike many of the other comedic YouTubers on this list Seb La Frite also creates a large amount of more serious videos on educational topics such as "What is Auto Tuning?" or even simple analyses on French music artists. Overall his videos are all over the place so by visiting his channel you can probably find something for you.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None (except for a few videos)

Squeezie was originally known for playing video games and adding his own commentary to them (much like Seroths, but without the horror element) however today he is known for creating funny videos on pretty much any topic that you could think of. From videos on funny advertisements to how to seduce women Squeezie is one of the most watched French YouTubers you can find.

Genre: Comedy/Gaming

Subtitles: French/English

PL Cloutier

It's time for our first French-Canadian YouTuber on this list. PL Cloutier's channel is primarily dedicated to making videos about the funny events in his own personal life among other things. His channel is a good one to get into if you aren't very familiar with the French-Canadian accent, because in my experience he isn't that difficult to understand.

Subtitles: None

Aurélie Marau

A smaller YouTuber than some of the others here, but a great one nevertheless. Her videos are created mostly around beauty, fun DIY projects and just about anything else she can come up with. Great for those looking for videos that are made primarily for women.

Genre: Beauty

Subtitles: None

Osons Causer

Osons Causer is a channel made by three friends to explain current events, politics and the world in their own words. If you're looking for easy-to-understand explanations on some of these topics then this may be the channel for you. Although the explanations may be easy-to-understand the topics are still somewhat complicated so keep that in mind when watching their videos.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: English/French (depends heavily on video)

NESblog / Speed Game

If you've read the article " 11 French-Only Sites That You Can Use to Help Your French " you'll have heard of NESblog. For those who haven't, the NESblog YouTube channel is 100% dedicated to video game competition type videos. The channel used to put a series known as "Speed Game" where they would show videos of video games completed as quickly as possible. The series is no longer active, but you can still watch all the previous videos. This channel is only recommended for video-game fanatics.

Genre: Gaming

Subtitles: None

Looking through the channel for PV Nova you'll quickly notice that most of his videos revolve around music in some way. From music videos to the making of those videos you can easily see amazing musical talent of PV Nova. If you can appreciate others' musical talent then you'll absolutely love PV Nova.

Genre: Music

Subtitles: None (with the exception of a few videos)

Solonge te parle

Solonge te parle describes herself as a poétubeuse instead of a traditional YouTuber (youtubeuse if you will). Her videos revolve mainly around her inner thoughts on a variety of subjects. Most of her videos are just her in front of a camera speaking and don't involve special effects or other actors. Fortunately for the average French learner she is speaks slowly and clearly. An interesting channel for the beginner to intermediate French learner.

Subtitles: French/English (depends heavily on video)

Lysandre Nadeau

Add this channel to the list of great French-Canadian YouTubers. It's difficult to classify Lysandre Nadeau except in the fact that she posts videos of everything and anything. From trips around the world to videos about make up, Lysandre Nadeau is another interesting channel to visit.

Subtitles: None

Another YouTube channel revolving mostly around video games. Bob Lennon's videos are mostly just him playing videos games and adding his funny commentary over them. For the most part you don't even see his face. Just like with most of the other video-game YouTubers you'll love Bob Lennon if you're a gamer, but if you aren't then you probably won't get much enjoyment here.

Genre: Gaming

Subtitles: None

Alexandra Larouche

Alexandra Larouche is another lifestyle and beauty YouTuber. Some of her videos include subject such as Christmas present ideas, makeup reviews and more. Another great additional our list of amazing Québécois YouTubers.

Genre: Beauty

Subtitles: None

Bapt&Gael is a channel created by two guys (Baptiste and Gael oddly enough) who love creating parodies, sketches and even cartoons. Some of their videos are so random it's hard to describe them without watching them. Their videos are also of higher-quality than most of the more traditional content creators on this list. Take a look and I'm sure you'll find something for yourself.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: French/English (depends heavily on video)

Naturacoach

This channel is perfect for all you health nuts out there. Naturacoach creates educational videos on various health-related topics such as how to sleep better or what to eat to avoid acne. I learned so many great health tips while looking through this channel so I highly recommend it if you'd like to learn some easy techniques that you can do at home to improve your health.

Genre: Health

Subtitles: None

DirtyBiology

If you love science then you'll definitely love this channel. Just like the title suggests, this channel speaks about biology as well as a ton of other interesting scientific subjects. Just like you'd suspect, the subject matter of DirtyBiology's is quite technical so if you aren't a more advanced French learner than you might want to skip this one for now.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: French/English

This YouTube channel is very similar to the previous one in that its videos revolve primarily around science. If you browse through his YouTube channel you'll find videos such as "How to Safely View a Solar Eclipse", Why are Traffic Lights Red", and "The Most Dangerous Place in France". You'll also find a rather new series titled AREL3, but in my opinion the strength of the channel comes from its science videos.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: French/English

Cyrus North

Although I wouldn't classify this channel a science channel it does create educational videos on bunch of different topics. You're find a video series on politics, philosophy, and law. Overall an interesting and educational channel you should check out.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: French

Jenesuispasjolie

This channel creates a lot of really great videos on some great subjects such as DIY, decorating your room, morning routines, and motherhood. Recommended mostly for those who are interested in these topics, but even if you aren't you can definitely learn to by visiting this channel.

Genre: Beauty

Subtitles: None

La Brigade du Livre

This channel is a little smaller and most of these other ones on this list, nevertheless if you're into reading literature then you'll love this channel. La Brigade du Livre creates videos on a variety of literature-related subject such as literary clichés, Stephen King, and e-books. The subject of this channel is a little more niche, but can definitely be considered a hidden gem to literary buffs.

Genre: Literature

Subtitles: None

Alice Esmeralda

Just by visiting Alice Esmeralda's YouTube channel you'll quickly see that she is absolutely obsessed with food. You'll find here tons of great vegan recipes and beauty tips you can try at home. Even if you aren't interested in vegan recipes I still would say that you should check out this channel due to the large amounts of food-related vocabulary that you can learn.

Subtitles: None

Ginger Force

Ginger force is YouTube channel created by a group of girls who make videos on movie adaptations of books as well as the broad theme of feminism. If either of the subjects interest you and then you'll definitely find some enjoyment in this YouTube channel.

Subtitles: French

If you're at all interested in history then this definitely is the YouTube channel for you. Nota Bene's goal is to take history and explain it in an easy-to-understand way so that the majority of us can understand it without a problem. The subject of history is one that is rather complicated so it is best left for those with a fairly strong grasp of the French language.

Genre: History

Subtitles: French/English (depends on video)

We have several French-Canadians so far on this list, but few are as invested as Audrey D in talking about Québec culture. Virtually any and all questions regarding Québec can be found and answered on this channel, so if you have any curiosity at all about regarding this Canadian province then you absolutely need to take a look. The channel does talk about a few other subjects such as Audrey's life as a school teacher, but where the channel really shines is in its videos related to Québec and the Québecois.

Subtitles: None

BurgerEnForce

Although by looking at the name of this channel you would assume that it contains videos on food, but unfortunately you would be wrong. BurgerEnForce is it gaming channel that specializes in Let's Play-style videos. Not the largest or most popular of gaming YouTube channels by any means but it's still a good find for those gamers out there.

Genre: Gaming

Subtitles: None

Le Règlement

A relatively new YouTube channel in comparison to the others on this list Le Règlement's Channel is exclusively on the subject of rap music. You'll find here analyses on various rappers as well as some freestyles. I'd say that even if you aren't the biggest rap fan in the world that you should check this channel out because you may learn some music-related terminology.

Genre: Music

Subtitles: None

Le Dézapping du Before

Getting back to more mainstream French YouTube channels, Le Dézapping du Before creates what you can call "best of" videos of it's TV show that appeared on the French TV channel Canal+. The channel hasn't been active unfortunately in a while however all their uploads are still available for you to check out.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

Le Fossoyeur de Films

This is the YouTube channel for all those interested in film. You'll find here breakdowns on various films and film genres. It's clear by watching just one or two that François Theurel (the creator) really knows his stuff. You like movies as much as th this guy then you'll easily fall in love with Le Fossoyeur de Films.

Subtitles: None

Le Cinéma de Durendal

Another movie-related YouTube channel, however I would consider it a little simpler than "Le Fossoyeur de film", because the majority of videos are straight up reviews or critiques of famous films. If you aren't a film buff, but still enjoy films then you may prefer this channel over the previous one.

Subtitles: None

This is another channel that revolves around history. Contrary to Nota Bene however, the creator of this channel doesn't try as much to dumb it down for the rest of us. It's clear that his content is meant for those who have a passion for history. If that's you, then you'll be quite comfortable here.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: None

Karim Debbache (Crossed)

This YouTube channel is quite unique in that it contains a series titled "Crossed" that's speaks only about films that talk about video games. Some of the videos are about films that are simply about video games and others are about films that were adapted from video games. Either way, this unique style of videos something that I think a lot of people should at least give a try.

Genre: Gaming

Subtitles: None

My Life in the United States

The creator of this channel, Yoann, creates videos all about his experiences in the United States. Most people reading this may not be that interested in learning about United States, but it is still very interesting to see a French person's perspective on what it's like to live in America.

Genre: Educational/Travel

Subtitles: English

Code MU's YouTube channel contains a wide variety of educational videos that mostly revolve around teaching others about the French language. Because the videos are mostly intended for native-French speakers it maybe difficult for most beginners to get into these videos. If you're already an advanced learner then you may be able to learn a lot here, however if you're just starting out you'll have a hard time understanding what's being taught.

Genre: Educational

Subtitles: None

Similar to quite a few other channels on this list, Amixem creates so many random videos that it's difficult to really pin down what the channel is about. When browsing through the channel I came across the videos like "This Game Will Make You Hate School", "The Worst Japanese Predictions", and "We are Going to Adopt a Goat". The only way to really understand the channel just to go and check it out for yourself.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: French (very few in English)

Le Jimmy Labeeu

Le Jimmy Labeeu creates funny videos on whatever he happens to find funny. If you think you might agree, and check out his hilarious channel.

Genre: Comedy

Subtitles: None

FastGoodCuising

Contrary to most channels on this list this channel can be interesting to almost everybody. FastGoodCuisine create amazing videos about fast and easy food recipes that you can use at home. The great thing is that his videos aren't tied down to just one type of food. No matter what you like to eat, you can find something here for you.

Subtitles: None

Dans Ton Corps

You can find answers to a lot of medical-related questions on this channel. What I personally love about this channel is that the creator answers medical questions that the vast majority of us have such as "How to Get Rid of a Hangover?" and "Why Do People Get Cauliflower Ear?". Take a minute to look through this channel and I'm sure you'll find an answer to something you've asked yourself at some point in time.

Genre: Health

Subtitles: French/English

Cam c'est elle

Much like Audrey D, this channel really shines with its videos on the subject of Québec. You can find tons of great videos answering all sorts of great questions that you may have about what life in Québec is like or what the Québecois might say. The difference between Audrey D and Cam c'est elle is that Cam c'est elle is French and speaks about her life in Québec from a French perspective. Very interesting if you have spent time in France or are used to French culture, but aren't very familiar with what it's like to live in Québec.

Genre: Educational/Vlog

Subtitles: None

Nothing beats relaxing with a great film while you practice your French! French tutor Carol Beth shares her favorite French movies for students...

Watching movies is a great way to maintain and expand your knowledge of French, and there are quite a few enjoyable French movies out there. The following list covers many of the most well-known films that students should check out.

The list begins with the most "tame" movies and progresses to those that include romantic themes (or scenes) and sometimes violence.

For later films, parents and teachers of younger French students may wish to preview, warn, supervise, obtain guardian permission, or wait until the children or students are mentally and emotionally ready. Ratings are included where possible.

1) Astérix et Obélix contre César (1999)

This film is based on the popular French comic strip starring the two title characters. Astérix is a fierce and clever little Gaulois who - with his big, strong sidekick Obélix and the rest of their village - stands up to the Romans who have taken over the rest of Gaul (France's old name), and would love to finish off their task by taking over Astérix and Obelix's village. But, Asterix and Obelix are too clever for that, right?

This film was followed by Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre in 2002, Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques in 2008, and Astérix et Obélix: Au service de sa Majesté in 2012. Unlike the comic strip, these four films are all live-action films with real actors. There have also been quite a few cartoon-based movies from the 1967 cartoon Astérix le Gaulois all the way up to the 2014 3-D cartoon Asterix: Le Domaine des dieux. Not all seem to have been rated. As a reference point, Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre was rated PG.

2) La Gloire de Mon Pere (My Father's Glory) (1990)

La Gloire de Mon Pere follows the experiences of a young boy during a vacation outside the city of Provence, in the south of France. The landscape and ways of life depicted in the film are typical of French families at the time of the film; southern French landscape still appears similarly today. La Gloire de Mon Pere also has a sequel, Le Chateau de Ma Mere (My Mother's Castle) (1990), in which the boy's family returns to the city for work and school, but continues to visit the same country house on the weekends. Not rated.

3) Les Choristes (2004)

For music and education lovers, Les Choristes is a little like a French Mr. Holland's Opus. The main character, a teacher, takes a job at a private boys' school which is ruled with an iron fist by an overly-strict and closed-minded principal. The new teacher develops a more positive relationship with the students with his understanding character and love for music. The impact on all their lives is great, especially for one little boy, who grows up to become the film's narrator. Rated PG-13.

4) Jean de Florette (1986)

Jean de Florette is based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol, and tells the tragic tale of Jean de Florette - a hunchback with a love for life, determination, and work ethic - who returns to the land he has inherited in Provence with his wife and daughter. Their neighbors, an uncle and his grown nephew, pretend to be friends, but really have an eye on their land. Jean de Florette is followed by a sequel, Manon des Sources (1986), which follows the story of Jean's daughter, Manon. Manon des Sources follows up on and resolves much of what happened in Jean de Florette. Rated PG and PG-13, respectively.

5) Cyrano de Bergerac (1990)

Cyrano de Bergerac is based on an 1897 French play by Edmond Rostand set in 18th-century Paris. Cyrano is a proud and eloquent soldier with a gift for poetry, but he is not very good-looking and is particularly sensitive about his rather large nose. He falls in love with his cousin, but she has her eye on a handsome but tongue-tied, ineloquent young soldier in Cyrano's regiment named Christian. Out of his desire to express himself, without disrespecting the cousin he loves, Cyrano initiates a devious plot with Christian. This is a great film for those who love tragic romance that is also somewhat intellectual. Rated PG.

6) La Vie en Rose (2007)

La Vie en Rose recounts the story of Edith Piaf (played by Marion Cotillard). Piaf was a famous 20th-century singer around the time of World War II who, despite difficult and humble beginnings and personal problems throughout her life, captured the French imagination. Rated PG-13.

7) Les Compères (1983)

Les Compères begins with a worried mother who calls two old lovers to help her find, help and bring back home her troubled, runaway son. She independently tells both lovers - neither of which is her husband nor the actual father her son has always known - that they are his father. The boy is thoroughly confused when they find him almost simultaneously with the same claim, but comes to appreciate their humorously opposite personalities. Rated PG.

8) Timbuktu (2014)

Timbuktu follows the story of Kidane, a cattle herder, who lives outside of Timbuktu at a time when religious fundamentalism has become more common. Though his life is at first peaceful, local ruling jihadists soon disrupt his and his family's lives. Includes Tuareg, Bambara, French, Arabic, and a little English. Rated PG-13.

9) Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain (2001)

Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain was a hit in the US when it first came out, following the life of Amélie as she seeks true love. Amélie is a cute and sweet but mischievous character who puts her crush through quite a search through Paris to find her. Rated R.

10)La Femme Nikita (1990)

Nikita is offered a chance to avoid punishment (life in prison) for past crimes in return for her role as an assassin. After some convincing, she does so - quite successfully - cultivating her feminine charm, discretion, and deadly aim. As she builds her new life, she also finds herself a boyfriend she loves and who loves her. But then a mission goes awry. I do not recommend this film for especially young viewers or for those who are sensitive to romantic or violent scenes. Rated R.

11) The Trois Couleurs Trilogy

The Trois Couleurs trilogy, consisting of Bleu (Blue), Blanc (White), and Rouge (Red) (named for the colors of the French flag), follows the stories of three groups of individuals whose stories are connected by the intersection of their lives. The films' stories are said to represent liberty, equality, and fraternity - the ideals of the French Revolution. Bleu explores the life of the main character, Julie, as she seeks emotional liberty after the death of her husband and daughter in a car crash. Blanc follows Karol, a recent divorcee, as he seeks equality through revenge. And finally, Rouge explores the relationships between the characters and, at the end, connects the main characters from all three films. All three films are rated R.

12) La Haine (1995)

La Haine examines the tense relationship between a group of poor Parisian immigrant youth and the police, caused in part by their actions and in part by prejudice towards them. The entire film is in black and white. Rated R.

DEPUIS = indicates the origin of an action/a situation that is still continuing at the moment or that was still going on at the time something else happened. If the action is still current, you can simply conjugate the verb in the sentence in the present tense.

PENDANT = indicates the duration of an action/situation. It is mostly used when speaking in the past tense about an action that is over, but can also be used in the present when expressing a generality.

POUR = is used to project how long a specific action/situation will last in the future. You can conjugate the verb in the present if you’re speaking about schedules/timetables.

DANS = indicates the start of a specific action/situation which will take place in the future. Again, you may conjugate the sentence in the present when you’re speaking about timetables.

EN = indicates the amount of time it takes to complete an action.

IL Y A = an idiomatic expression meaning ‘ago’.

À = It is used to express the clock time at which an event occurs.

Tip -Les chiffres et les nombres- Difficultés d'orthographe

# data[].attributes.body
Les chiffres et les nombres sont invariables.
*Sur les sept étudiants, quatre sont absents

20 et 100 s'accordent quand ils sont multipliés par un nombre sans être suivis par un autre nombre.
* quatre-vingts
* quatre-vingt-trois
* quatre cents
* quatre cent vingt et un

Mille est toujours invariable
* trois mille * dix mille deux

un est invariable en nombre mais pas en genre :
* cinquante et une pages

Millier, million et milliard sont des noms et non des adjectifs. Ils s'accordent:
* quatre cents millions
* deux cent mille
* deux cents milliers

Le pluriel commence à partir de 2. On écrit donc :
* 1,9 point
* 2 points
* 1,9 million
* 2 millions

D'après une étude Ifop pour le site Charles.co, 11% des personnes en couple et confinées ensemble veulent prendre des distances avec leur partenaire après le 11 mai.

Lors des premières mesures de déconfinement en Chine à la mi-mars, plusieurs médias locaux comme le Global Times ont rapporté un boom des divorces dans le pays. Allons-nous assister au même phénomène en France?

Une étude* réalisée par l'Ifop pour Charles.co, un site de consultation en ligne de sexologues et dévoilée par Le Parisien ce mardi, indique que 12% des sondés ne souhaitent pas être de nouveau confinés avec son partenaire. Mais pas de panique, plus de la moitié d'entre eux affirment également que le confinement n'a eu aucune répercussion sur leur relation.

Le confinement, "un poison" pour les jeunes couples

Le sondage indique que 11% des personnes en couple veulent prendre des distances avec l'autre après le 11 mai, date prévue pour le déconfinement.

"On note cette tendance plutôt chez les jeunes couples. Pour eux, le confinement a été un poison et non un durcissement", explique au Parisien François Kraus, directeur du pôle politique-actualité à l'Ifop.

C'est également le cas pour les mères de familles, pour lesquelles "la répartition des tâches ménagères" et la "gestion des enfants" a été un poids pendant les près de deux mois de confinement.

Baisse de la sexualité des Français

Pour certains le confinement est même un motif de rupture, puisque 4% d'entre eux désirent rompre. Toutefois, l'étude ne se veut pas trop alarmiste. En effet, 60% des couples disent que cette période d'isolement obligatoire n'a pas eu de répercussion sur leur relation. En couple mais non confiné ensemble, 25% ont par ailleurs bravé les interdictions de déplacement pour se rejoindre.

Sans surprise, le confinement a également joué sur les rapports sexuels des Français, puisque 44% des Français déclarent n'avoir eu aucun rapport durant les quatre dernières semaines, alors qu'ils n'étaient que 26% avant l'épidémie.

Et les Français semblent visiblement en manque d'amour: 24% d'entre eux ont repris contact avec un ancien partenaire sexuel durant la période, 26% disent avoir besoin de câlins ou de marques d'affection. Des gestes qu'il conviendra toutefois d'éviter même après le déconfinement, pour éviter la propagation du virus.
*L'étude a été réalisée par questionnaire auto-administré en ligne sur un échantillon de 3045 Français âgés de 18 ans et plus du 24 au 27 avril 2020. La représentativité de l'échantillon a été assurée par la méthode des quotas.

Great video from "Le Monde" explainingthe Sunni/Chiite division

Eclairage

Le Moyen-Orient est traversé en profondeur par l'opposition entre les deux grandes branches de l'islam : le chiisme et le sunnisme.

La guerre civile en Syrie et au Yémen, les tensions diplomatiques entre Iran et Arabie saoudite ou encore les attentats en Irak et au Liban illustrent la violence de ces tensions.

Mais d'où provient cette division ? Est-il question d'opposition religieuse ou juste d'opportunisme politique ? Explications.

Chimique is only an adjective in French so to say "chemicals" you need to say "produits chimiques". les chimiques does NOT exist!

I have tried a few different French podcasts. So far I like 'Coffee Break French' and 'RFI - Journal en français facile'. Easy to listen to in the car or when walking to work...
I also have found the app 'duolingo' good for practicing some grammar in a slightly less boring way than exercises from a textbook.

Thanks Kerry (advance class) for showing me this article!

Interesting article, in English, about the famous first line of Albert Camus's book "l'étranger"
“Today, Maman died. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home: “Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.” That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.

The last line of the book is not without interest neither in my opinion.

"For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."
