Independent Exploration: Humor and Fun

Below is a YouTube playlist featuring some funny videos in French.  Watch at least 3 videos, and then for a follow-up, tell me 3 words you recognized.

Note:  On many of the videos, you can get closed captions in French or English.  Click on the CC button (if it’s available) to make closed captions appear.  Then, to change them to English, click the little gear icon to the right and click “Subtitles/CC” and if English isn’t an option, click “Auto-translate” and select English from the list of languages.  If the closed captions are auto-translated, they will not be perfect, especially if the speaker is speaking very fast or not clearly, but they will help you follow along.

Note: I included the “Let It Go” translator fail parody even though it is not in French to show you how incorrect translators can be!  It also happens to be highly amusing!
