With all the resources out there, it would be silly to not use Youtube as a way to improve your French. The only problem is that all those resources are out there. Sometimes it's just too overwhelming. So, French learners of the world, I present to you the list of French Youtubers that I know and watch and recommend.
Cyprien: This guy (along with Norman, who I don't watch as often) is the golden child of French Youtube. People know him, they think he's funny, and his videos are always widely viewed.
Comme Une Francaise: I love this woman. Her videos are all in English, but she lays out very useful French phrases and helps explain French thinking on some basic, everyday things that are incredibly useful like not to say "Bonjour" twice to someone in the same day. I watch her videos often, and she's great about adding a new one every week.
Golden Moustache: This is a cohort of Frenchies who all make videos and put them on the same channel. They are hilarious, and have a bit of everything. My personal favorites are the Suricate videos. What's your favorite?
If you find yourself really liking these videos, you may want to check out Suricate's Julien Josselin's channel for vlogs to hear more conversational French.
Another similar Youtube channel is Palmashow which I don't personally watch a ton, but I've heard good things about!
Parole de Chat: If you are at all entertained by the cat mania that has taken over the internet, you will love this channel. It's like AFV for animals in French, just not always family friendly. It always makes me giggle. And there are English subtitles, which is sometimes helpful, and sometimes just funny.
Herve Cuisine: If you're a Food Network addict like me, you will really enjoy Herve's channel. It's great to learn the cooking vocab, and make you crazy hungry all at once. I also really like his channel because he seems like a guy that just really likes to cook, started making videos, and is determined to make a living off doing something he loves. I'm always down to support people like that.
Bonjour Lovelies: If you're looking for your hair, makeup, and fashion fix, you need this channel. This woman has great style, and I love that her videos aren't scripted which means the French is more authentic and conversational.
Disney FR: Disney's French Youtube channel. You can now watch "Libérée, Délivrée" nonstop.
So there you go! I often find that it's much easier to work on French comprehension when you enjoy the videos you are watching, so I hope that at least one of these channels suits your tastes and helps in your French learning endeavors. If you have other channels that you enjoyed, I'd love to know about them as well. Don't hesitate to leave a comment below!
Love from France,
Angie
