This is a series by my brother Hannes.
He went to France in 2015 as an exchange student, lived with a host family, went to high school and made a lot of friends.
Edit: due to the latest hack or whatever, unfortunately all comments and votes are lost. Thanks for the ongoing support tho!
Check out his Instagram if you like: _ultracreative_
Edit: unexpectedly made it to fp! Thank you! My brother is amazed and thankful for all the new followers.
Convinced him to create an own account. Here is the part 2: https://imgur.com/gallery/Pgled

Had a guy from Michigan come study in Scotland, he then wrote about it for his school paper, his reactions do everyday things was amazing

The mother tongue is good. German's sound made when they talk which makes the face expressions mo hilarious

I hope your brother didn't have any trouble with La Résistance while he was there.

When we went on an exchange in 1998 from GER to FRA they yelled „'eil 'itleeer“ at us at a bus stop. This was pre-Internet so we didn’t...
Fortherea
...know yet being German meant to be stereotyped as a Nazi. Man, we grew up that day! But the rest was cool, school exchanges are awesome.

I can't get over how those chins look like pimples.

One of my best friends in high school was a German exchange student (in USA) he needed a friend! I taught him the ways of my people ha! 1/2
DamnTXyouhot
2/2 mostly just spoke too fast for him and said things that made no sense.

i love the concept but hate the art

When visiting Paris, I found it somewhat hilarious that just about everyone DID have a baguette when going home in the evening.

Frencg People are the proof that Stereotypes can be real

Yes! My favorite memory was seeing a cyclist stop in front of me just to take a bite off the loaf then go on his merry way.

Dinner time requires it. Probably cheaper at the end of the too
angrymanzerobar
Gotta buy them everyday. You ever try to eat a day old baguette? Might as well be a baseball bat.
FlatPlutoSociety
Day-old baguette? Enjoy that two-foot-long crouton.

All you needed was to find someone in a beret and the image would be complete.
DarksteelPenguin
That's a lot harder to find though.

As a Frenchie, 1. That's on point and funny 2. I think in English way too often

#17 can confirm. I work in a Mexican restaurant and at times catch myself thinking in Spanish.

Of course you are on the front page! If the world has learned one thing it is never to reject an aspiring German artist.

This post seems to have been recreated after the spammer attack last night, in reality it's around 20 hours old instead of just 3 hours.
Shamorza
dafuq happened last night? spammer attack???
ExTechOp
Someone found a way to insert data into the database running imgur and front page was quickly filled with Russian and Chinese randomness.
Shamorza
holy cow! is there a screenshot of that somewhere?
MrsPoopyguthole
Yeah I took it out of my Gallery because the pictures in it were really nsfw.. Lost all comments and votes when I put it back :/
ExTechOp
It's a shame it didn't end up back on the front page. Well, you might still have a chance.
MrsPoopyguthole
My brother put up a 2nd part which went straight to fp, and he got a lot of new follower and a huge push, so I'm glad about that!
ExTechOp
Ask him to link back to this posting, and people might also upvote this.
MrsPoopyguthole
It's already linked :)

I went to Holland for exchange, all the Asians learnt the language fluently, but the Americans.. not really. Except one kid. She was cool.
blairmichod
How many of the Asians were already multilingual versus the Americans? Growing up monolingual makes learning much more difficult.
MadHakon
It simply isn't a necessity to learn a second language considering communication is rarely a difficulty for Americans.
NotoriousBadassWhoLovesMusicals
I understand that it isn't a necessity, but I do find it kind of rude to live in another culture to learn from it but not the language
MadHakon
Well considering that their opportunities to practice the language will have been limited, you can't expect them to be fluent.
NotoriousBadassWhoLovesMusicals
Literally all the other nations learned the language, even the Brits..
MadHakon
North America is a continent the size of Europe that is dominated by just two languages, one of them the lingua franca. 1/2
Forge128
The "lingua franca" (French language), of course, being English, which is quickly becoming the new world Lingua Franca.
Forge128
And America del Norte includes US, Canada, and Mexico, so really three dominant languages. Canada is bilingual, though, so you could defend.
MadHakon
Eh French being a dominant language is debatable. It exerts influence only in Canada.
Forge128
And only in the Eastern half, but it's still a pretty large number, IMO.

I remember when the last one happened to me when exchanging 13 years ago. Sat in the library and suddenly people talking around me just spok
Chickadeelee93
I speak Arabic and Hebrew. My grammar in English (first language) is a fucking train wreck at this point.

It is happening to me right now in France ...
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
E language and not English, and I was thinking in English. It was an amazing realisation.
Shamorza
Did you tell them in their native language that they should shut the fuck up in a library?
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
Lol. It was in an area designated for group work, so it was fine :)
JonRichardsonsDustMop
For me it was an awesome realization when I began to dream in my non native language.
Shamorza
did you make all the grammatical errors in your dream too?
JonRichardsonsDustMop
I'm very fluent in my non native language, so no. I'm only bad with writing because I'm lazy, but I can still do it properly.
Shamorza
I'm fluent in 3 foreign languages (including English), I dream in all these languages and sometimes make obvious mistakes in my dreams:)
