Selling YouTube today, I wanted to do a video based on some of the habits that I've picked up since I've been living in France. Because for some reason or another, after five years, I've been in France surrounded by French people, lo and behold, you start to do things like French people. The first French people habit that I seem to have picked up has to do with the sounds that French people make in the words that they use. So, I've definitely picked up the classic "so" that French people use when they're thinking or in their words. Instead of saying "what" or "yes," I now say "why not" or "sure, of course." It's also what I like to call the huff and puff, when something isn't going well or the bus is running late, for example. There are also a few connecting words that French people use all the time that I've definitely picked up. A classic is "alors." For example, if someone says "Hey, can you please pass me the bread?" and you pass them the bread and you're just about to put it on their plate, you'll say "alors" like there you go. Another kind of word that I use all the time is "oh là là." For example, if someone throws you something and you catch it, you're like "oh là là" or if you need to jump over something, you're like "ooh là là" plus. Another thing I do now that I never used to do is group numbers by twos. The phone numbers over here are like "zero, six, six, seven, two, zero, three, five." Speaking to friends and they're like "what's your number?" I'm like "oh, seven, two, six, six, seven, double oh three, two, seven, three, nine." Speaking of speaking...
