haha great one! :):)

Nuclear Chick my French teacher in high school taught us the pronunciation by saying “Un œuf is enough” 🙌

........" My Fer Lady" also was a news headline in the day as another example of a cross linguistic pun. It's of course Margaret Thatcher.. ...now I think it was "My Fer Maiden" .

ah cool :):)

Or « œufs tournés » can be said in Quebec

yeah you're right! keep learning and making it part of your life :)

I gave up. But now I decided to come back and have one more try. [your comment made me laugh]

ow thank you for your message, we're glad to hear that we help in that way too :) hope you feel better soon!

ah interesting yeah there's definitly rules in making eggs the right way when you're a chef but I don't know much about it :)

thanks for your comment :):)

ah c'est cool comme nom :) c'est peut être comme ça que ça s'appelle en France aussi par les professionnels

merci ! :))

Glad it was helpful! :):):)

haha de rien ! :)

ah cool de rien ! :)

@@Street_French a little mistake in the video... eye is written oeil (not "oeuil"). ;)

ah interesting :)

de nada!

de rien ☺☺

ah yeah thank you I didn't know that when I was filming :)

​@@Street_French But note that sour cream in the US and crème fraîche are different products. Sour cream has a stronger flavor. Many supermarkets here sell both. And many of us do mangle the pronunciation :-)

haha it's a pretty good one, I never heard it before^^ and glad it helped :))

actually I've never even seen over easy eggs before meeting Charlie. I don't know if we make it in France and I don't think there's a term for it. I would say "aller-retour" or "retourner l'oeuf" .... I don't know haha

@@Street_French I like my eggs "over hard", so I guess I would say "un oeuf retourné, dur"?

@@DrewMakepeace yeah I think you need to explain how to make it, because I don't think we make eggs like that here haha. so retourné et bien cuit, would work I think

@@Street_French Yes exactly! I spent a good five minutes the other day trying to get my boyfriend to tell me how you say to flip the egg over, and we finally realized it's because you don't do it! Pourtant c'est si bon quand c'est tout grillé et croustillant à l'extérieur et coulant à l'intérieur ! ;) ;)

On dit que les cents pliers dans le chapeau de chef son't pour les cents preparations des oeufs!

ah cool merci pour l'adresse! :)

ah cool :)

So am I -- my version of shirred eggs. Don't have heavy cream which she mistakenly thought was sour cream in the video, so I'm going to use sour cream as she said.

@@stevekollen1672 Please watch this: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/el2Yh6WPrnydqnk.html. I encourage you to do so as well, Kat.

ah merci :)

ah yeah thank you^^

yeah kinda you're right haha

We'll be making a series about French phonetics soon, but yeah it's because everything sounds connected, it's important to hear French a lot, after a year you'll get better, but it's just practice really :)

Do you have cable or satellite? If so, you might be able to get French TV like TV5Monde. I haven't had satellite for a couple years, but I think they still have the evening French newscasts from France 2, and they're subtitled. It's a really good way to get your ear used to hearing French at a normal speed, but I recommend the newscasts in particular in the beginning because the news anchors speak very clearly and enunciate very well. And if you know what's going on in the world news-wise, then you will recognize certain words, and with the images, you will have some idea what they're talking about, and context helps comprehension. I did that about 25 years ago and I went from catching one word out of 10 to being able to understand everything while listening to it from the kitchen while I cooked dinner. It really helps. They have other subtitled shows and movies as well. So I found it to be a good resource. Paired with your trips to France, I think you will find it helpful. If you have Netflix, it also has some French shows and movies which you can watch in French with subtitles. I like the series "Call My Agent" (Dix pour cent). There's an absurd comedy series called "A Very Secret Service" (sorry, can't remember the French title), and others. Just Google Netflix French series and you can find title keywords to search for on Netflix. Note that for me, the default audio was dubbed English, so I had to go in and change it in the audio and subtitles preferences. Actually, I haven't tried it in a few months, but I think France Télévisions (France 2, France 3) also lets you watch the daily French newscasts on their website, you just have to dig a bit to find it. I did it from the web browser built in to my Xbox when Notre Dame burned so I could find out what was going on in real time. Basically, you just have to listen to French at any opportunity as much as possible. And when in France don't be afraid to say "Je suis désolé(e), je suis anglais(e), est-ce que vous pourriez le répéter plus lentement s'il vous plaît ?" People are generally helpful and appreciate the effort.

It all sounds connected because you simply don't not know enough words, yet! Once you can hear actual 'words' you know it will make more sense to you. But this is true for any language! The joke about English is: that it is just 60% badly spoken French! And for this I always think of the word CASINO! Same spelling and meaning in each language but VERY DIFFERENT pronunciations!!!

ah yeah I don't know if we have a term, recently I've heard that they say "oeuf miroir" in Quebec. So maybe it works in France. But not sure everyone understands though

@@Street_French Donc est-ce que ça veut dire que personne commander des œufs "over easy" en France???

We've actually never seen that here in France :)

ow ok ok thanks :)

Americans may pronounce it ‘cream fresh’, but almost all British English speakers pronounce it more similarly to the French

Isaac Khan WRONG !!! I’ve watched a number of British cooking shows and there are Brits who also pronounce it like “cream fresh” or their pronunciation of French pastries is still very Anglicized (no gluttural French R) And hence, it’s a stupid misconception that only us Americans are the only ones mispronouncing French works. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gV19o5yMiqCrlqM.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oWeKjIxvcIFqsHk.html

ah yeah that's a good question. I think we don't do that in France so I don't know if we have a name for that. I've never seen anyone do that before meeting Charlie who's american ^^

That could be the œuf mollet.

In Québec we say 'un oeuf tourné'.

Her name is in her channel's description.

haha what did you order ?

@@Street_French I thought I was ordering eggs, no idea what I exactly said, maybe something with fromage. Haven't been to Paris in a couple of years. :-/ At least I didn't starve.

I have no clue lol

haha I didn't know about that, Charlie explained the joke to me when I saw it so many times in the comments haha I used to watch that cartoon but in French haha

Is it not "omelette au fromage"?

ah great idea for potatoes :)) and yeah I guess the whole french fries/freedom fries is just nonsense, we don't really care about that in France
