I personally say: Puis-je avoir…
Leo, un grand merci à toi, vivement le prochain vidéo.
Je voudrais plus d' eau svp😅😢🎉
The bg music didnt bother me
Pardon, un autre carafe, s'il vous plaît ?
J'apprends le français depuis assez longtemps mais je ne cinnaissais pas ces règles ! Intéressant !
Very interesting thank you. It appears that when one goes out for a meal in Paris, one also goes to a dance!
Je vais prendre is the equivalent of “I will have” in English. Many people, when ordering food, will say, for example, “I’ll have the special” or I’ll have a cheeseburger, etc.”
Loved. Carlos from Brazil here, trying to improve my french. I'll be tuned for next episodes, very useful, merci.
Encore une carafe.

Oui mais qd on a la tête d’un étranger on mérite qq gramme de tolérance qd même
Great video. Thanks!
Jesus loves you all John 3:16-17
Very good episodes, please post more of these. Un grand merci à vous !
Ugh – 30 seconds in and “no thanks!” Manosphere instructions on how to be bold as a guest in another country, fabricated with a subservient “help me” female voice as the person who must be formed into something useful by the man. Massive yuck.
Excuse moi, une caraffe d'eau, s'il vous plait
N’importe quoi. Je voudrais… est une formule standard utilisée partout tous les jours. Mais “un café svp” marche aussi.
Il ne m’a suffi de dire que “puis-je avoir gnagnagna” ou “pourrions-nous avoir gnagna” cela était mon raccourci. et n’oubliez jamais d’ajouter “ainsi qu’une carafe d’eau” 😛
Assholes exist universellement.
