Norman and Cyprien are absolutely excellent! I’ve been following them for a few years now, and it’s always a pleasure to watch their videos.
So have I, Gabrielle and they are hilarious! It’s nice to have some comic relief that I can pass off as French practice too 😛
Couldn’t have said it any better Sahara! And I agree with you both, Norman and Cyprien are awesome, they are always fun to watch!
I love Comme Une Francaise with Geraldine. It’s so cute!!!
Excellent suggestion, thank you Shannon! 🙂
Merci, Dalet! I’m always looking for some new way to get some listening practice in.. and it so happens that it’s full of laughs! Now I can add these to my list along with Norman!
Technically none of these channels are Vlogs 🙂
