French Youtubers I Adore!

I decided to do this post in English because I’m slacking off I have thoughts about these Youtubers that I don’t have the vocab to describe them with in French yet :”)

Easy French: I used to watch this in French class in high school and I was so happy to see this in my recommended videos this week! This is a great channel to help improve your reading and listening skills. These videos also give great insight to the culture in France.

BellePinte: I FINALLY FOUND A FRENCH SIMS GAMING CHANNEL!!! I am SO happy about this one. Belle is hilarious and entertaining, and I love watching her videos. 

gaelle garcia diaz: I adore her sense of humor and her makeup reviews! I found her through her rem beauty review video and I’ve been hooked on her content ever since!

silent jill: If you’re into anything paranormal, Jill is your girl. She makes a lot of horror history videos and I find these great for learning new, quirky vocabulary. 

Esile: Esile makes many different kinds of videos, but I especially adore her animal crossing ones! I also really enjoy a good haul video every once in a while, and she has a few of those up on her channel.

I hope you enjoy!
