In Washington, French speaking has a price

[weirdpapaya]

they should move to canada. its free!

[sergioapuzzo]

@weirdpapaya GOOD POINT:)

[melmar701]

Now here is the funniest part of this story about French(white French) being racist againts its own immigrants in France. It was odd co's white french people here are accusing other non white immigrants in France the same way Americans accusses French immigrants in the U.S. Same issues and same line of story. I hope each and everyone of you will learn a good lesson specially when you finally return to France and have to deal again on issues concerning immigrants and naturalized French citizens!

[FICGOTSWAG]

... If you don't like it, go back to France. Plain & simple.

[BelgianSigma]

@FICGOTSWAG calm down french speaking people can live where they want!!!!!

GROS CON!!

[FICGOTSWAG]

@BelgianSigma Yeah, they can live anywhere they want, but when they bitch and complain about OUR Country and the way we do things, they can bring their dumb asses back to France. Nobody asked them to move here. They should be glad we even allowed you french pieces of shit to open schools in our Country.

REAL TALK

[BelgianSigma]

@FICGOTSWAG so according to you YOUR AMERICAN system is so perfect that no European can ask to change sth about it????????????????????

[FICGOTSWAG]

@BelgianSigma I never said America was perfect. In any event, the last thing America needs is more foreigners taking jobs, or living off our taxes. Then have the nerve to complain to us, about our country and how we do things? Sounds a lil' hypocritical to me.

[BelgianSigma]

@FICGOTSWAG Seriously are you racist??????? "foreigners taking jobs" are you qualified to say it?? Did inform yourself??? actually neither did I. However I don't permit to say it!!

[BelgianSigma]

@FICGOTSWAG oh I ve forgotten in every developed nation there are loads of specialized schools like this one

[kmahl35]

@FICGOTSWAG "They should be glad we even allowed you french pieces of shit to open schools in our Country." racist guy ....

[FICGOTSWAG]

@kmahl35 How the fuck is that racist? French is NOT, I repeat NOT a race.

[kmahl35]

@FICGOTSWAG Well it's discrimination and don't try to look clever by playing on word, you understood what i said ... But I can see that you have clearly an extremist speach... tea party aren't you ?

"the last thing America needs is more foreigners taking jobs, or living off our taxes" sound fascist to me !

[FICGOTSWAG]

@kmahl35 Lol Say I'm discriminating all you want, that does not change the fact that I am right.

[kmahl35]

@FICGOTSWAG you know with people the old cliché that american people are stupid is true ...

You know,the american who are living in France are doing the same thing and we are not insulting them of piece of shit ... we respect them . I believe that respect is not something common to you.

[FICGOTSWAG]

@kmahl35 Them, too. They're morons. If they go to live in another Country and complain about their ways, they too can move out. Plain and simple.

[almaster666]

@FICGOTSWAG racist moron. There are American schools in France too dipshit

You know nothing about france you ignorant white trash.

How about you get off unemployment ass and your fat ass mom off social security before you complain about hardworking taxpaying immigrants bitch

My French family pays more taxes to the US govt in 1 year than you do in a lifetime

[FICGOTSWAG]

@almaster666 I'm not racist, Moron. French is NOT, I repeat NOT a race. I don't care if you speak french, english, chinese, guyanese, jamaican, or otherwise. To each his own, but when you're bitching and moaning about our country (America) and the way we do shit, that just gets under my skin. It's the same for every other country, too. I'm not one sided on this. I'm saying if an American moves to, say... China, and complains about their ways, they too can move the fuck back to America.

[veryboredpug]

@kyomodo a lot of the people at that school are diplomats since it's near DC and can't just pick up and move on over to Canada... they're moved from country to country by their jobs and often rely on other branches of the french school so their kids don't have to learn a new damn language in every country.

[YouStoleMyTube]

These parents fail... If they want their kids to grow up bilingual they need to have 1 parent speak to their child in ONLY ONE language, and the other parent in ONLY ONE language. For example, the father speaks to his child in only English, the mother in only French... Is it that hard to grasp? You start from when they're infants then they pick both languages up as native speakers.

[veryboredpug]

@YouStoleMyTube I do this with my parents [my first language was french]... I used to go to this french school, too. Now I'm in American school and my french has gotten worse.

French is a pain in the ass language to write, mainly, and when you're surrounded by american tv shows etc etc you tend to lose some of that culture even if you practice it with one or both of your parents.

[YouStoleMyTube]

@veryboredpug Oh yeah I hear you! The accents are a pain in the butt! But the spelling is really regular compared to English. I have no French culture whatsoever hahaha :P Unfortunately I'm not actually French :)

[veryboredpug]

@YouStoleMyTube It is far more regular than english but there are way more rules [so many silent letters etc] that you'll botch unless your parents are making you do dictations and crap too. xD

My mom explains it this way: french is like a pyramid; once you lay down the many/complex foundations, you can fine-tune it. English is like an upsidedown pyramid; you can get your point across with little knowledge, but to get good at the language you have to learn all those strange exceptions...

[YouStoleMyTube]

@veryboredpug Omg yeah the liason took me a good 3 weeks of non stop studying to understand. Now I more or less understand the rules.

Yeah exactly! My dad tries to explain it but never explains it so well! English is one of those languages where it's so easy to bring words from other languages into it that we have a huge vocabulary. And you can never stop learning words, which is a pain!

[Castaril]

@YouStoleMyTube Yes thats how I grew up. One parent spoke dutch the other American english. I'm very happy because the result is that I can speak two languages fluently and without accent.

[penguinlokita]

@Castaril im gonna try this with my kid, but we went the kid speaks english as swedish as portuguese and spanish! :d

[penguinlokita]

@YouStoleMyTube and you have 5 kids :)! it doesnt work like that. where do you think ur kids will learn the grammar? i guess in the school :)!! youve failled!

[YouStoleMyTube]

@penguinlokita You're pretty stupid. If you have 5 kids, unless you're rich, they're probably going to be monolingual. It's what you deserve for adding to the world's overcrowded population.

[HighKingofIndiana]

bah, je deteste l'anglais dans ce video. On ne peut pas entendre le francais! C'est un crime.

[YouStoleMyTube]

@HighKingofIndiana Hahahaha

[AustrianAtheist]

RIOT NOW!!!

[amicusnemini]

ask obama to pay for tuition he wants your children to learn french

[verrebleu]

interessant

[1bam159]

this is like american schools in other non english speaking countries

[hellophoenix]

Actually American parents in foreign countries do send their kids to American schools.

These parents are in DC and most likely are going back to France and they don't want their kids to lose their French

[anticapital666]

J'espère que l'enfants apprennent l'anglais aussi. Parce que c'est les états-unis et la langue est anglais ici. Mais, ils parlent français dans lousiane du sud et dans Maine. donc, la langue c'est americain aussi, non?

[xyman]

@anticapital666

Je ne savais pas qu'au Maine on parle francais. Quelles sont les villes du Maine ou l'on parle francais?

[anticapital666]

@xyman les acadiens qui vivent dedans l'état.

[anticapital666]

@xyman j'suis désolé pour la réponse tard.

[xyman]

@anticapital666 Merci pour la réponse.

[davidnhvtme]

@xyman

L'etat du maine est officielement Anglais, mais il y a des communaute ou on parle le francais (Lewiston Aubern, Waterville, la vallee de saint Jean avec Madawaska).

[chrisbreizh29]

@anticapital666 Not speaking english is stupid today because its usefull for all in world.

[mrlanguageguy]

@chrisbreizh29 but here, (in the US) the kids will learn french with no problem. even if they are speaking french in school and at home, nothing else around them will be in french so their english will be fine. If nothing else, these kids will break the stereotype et quand ils vont à la france, ils peuvent dire "jsuis américain" sans être embarassés

[mrlanguageguy]

@anticapital666 je dirait pas qu'elle est americain. le nombre des personnes qui parlent français à la lousianne et en maine c'est tres tres faible.

[vince0o7]

i can speak french(quebec) and english

je can parler francais and anglais

[petitrenardgris]

En quoi ça gêne d'être bilingue? C'est plutôt un atout!

No need to be rude even you disagree!

I'm not ashamed to be French and I don't feel arrogant at all!

How to feel in peace throughout the world with such ideas? Tell me?

I don't insult people trying to keep their native language.Try to live in another country and you'll understand what they feel and what I felt myself ...

You might ask for an alien language because you're still on Earth and live with human beings,uh?

Sans rancune!

[Scrotumdeouf]

they are in america and they want their wasted stupid kids to speak only french....

well, fuck you then

i am so ashamed to be french when i see retarded like them

what if some americans parents would do the same in our country??? They ll sure be insulted

french arrogance, still there....

i might ask for begium nationality lol

[FreeTheJambon]

J'aime beaucoup ton pseudo jeune homme !

[Scrotumdeouf]

[nietsmmar2]

"An American schools, that's not really what we were looking for".. ^^ fuckin B^$^% then what's the point of being here^^ can't believe this kind of ignorance still reigns in France. p.s. especially there.

[FreeTheJambon]

[dl658]

[Frenchkisssss]

cool

[iownage4youi]

USA have stolen the idea of Belgium to learn French in the public-high and basic scools!!!

[Kortab25]

Raaa les belges tjrs là :D

[SammyStefani]

it's not just a private school.

it's a FRENCH school. they are taught maths in french, science in french, and every other subject IN FRENCH. it's a french school moved to washington to give francophiles the opportunity to give their chilren the education they feel that they need.

[lespatmilescyrusbff]

I am also working on two other languages (Spanish and Chinese) because three foreign languages are required at my school, and I speak those BETTER than any public school student I know who takes those languages as their only foreign language course. I'm sure what you have said may be correct once in a while, or in a rare case, but I am quite appalled by your ignorance and/or lack of exposure to what you are talking about.

[lespatmilescyrusbff]

No, I believe you are under-educated on this subject, or at least not aware of the whole picture. I'm sure SOME American public schools have good foreign language programs, but I attend(ed) a French private school in San Francisco (Lyceé Français La Pérouse) and an American private school in Los Angeles (Campbell Hall school), which also had a fantastic French program. I speak FLUENT French, far superior to ANYONE I have encountered who learns French at a public school.
