Try them all out!<\/p>\n<p>For example, <i>Ce mec&#8230; dans son lit<\/i><b>\u00a0<\/b>(This guy&#8230; in his bed) is a humorous video that talks about sleeping habits.<\/p>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"oylfpoV7fw0\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a perfect video for those in the pre-intermediate stage looking for a little bit of a challenge.<\/strong>\u00a0The subtitles are incorporated into the video rather than scrolling at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>While not everything is subtitled (don&#8217;t fear, 90 percent is!), there&#8217;s useful vocabulary for the bedroom and sleeping that should be familiar to learners. Further, the parts that aren&#8217;t\u00a0subtitled will allow you to really stretch those comprehension muscles.<\/p>\n<h3>28. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EaNqp4FXh-s&amp;list=PLhAxKCm7GPvi1fmbLUbhYhQcLGTZ2Fqwq\">Extr@ French<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"EaNqp4FXh-s\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Extr@ French&#8221; is a sitcom-style TV show\u00a0that was <strong>created specifically for a French learner audience<\/strong>. (In fact, the Extr@ series is available in a number of languages, and offers an entertaining introduction to casual spoken French.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Exr@ French&#8221; follows a group of friends and the funny and heart-warming shenanigans that they become a part of.\u00a0This series is great for beginners of French because the speech is slow and the subtitles are really accurate. There are also annotations and language learning hints incorporated directly into the episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, once you&#8217;ve finished the first episode, there are several more on this YouTube channel for you to enjoy!<\/p>\n<h2>French YouTubers<\/h2>\n<h3>29. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MonsieurDream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cyprien<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"wNRUzu4fTgw\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever read or heard anything about French YouTube then you&#8217;ve already heard about Cyprien. He has one of the biggest channels in the country.<\/p>\n<p>He often takes a seemingly simple and <strong>general topic like food, school or technology and builds a bunch of jokes and sketches around it<\/strong>.\u00a0He occasionally also makes some short comedic films and slightly different videos.<\/p>\n<p>But is it easy to understand him? Well, he sure uses lots of slang and colloquialisms, because most of his audience is made up of teenagers and young people, but that&#8217;s what the subtitles are for!<\/p>\n<h3>30. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/NormanFaitDesVideos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Norman fait des vid\u00e9os<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"Ak_7jPkHgEA\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p><i>Norman fait des vid\u00e9os\u00a0<\/i>(Norman Makes Videos) is also without doubt\u00a0one of the hottest comedy channels in France. I even saw his face on the cover of a magazine when I was in France recently.<\/p>\n<p>His videos are <strong>a mix of vlogs and sketches, many of which center on everyday life<\/strong>, such as\u00a0having a cat,\u00a0going grocery shopping\u00a0and\u00a0spelling mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that he talks somewhat quickly, and his videos don\u2019t normally have subtitles, so this channel is probably best for intermediate or advanced learners.<\/p>\n<h3>31. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/filleludique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natoo<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"sBrNWVLB4II\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>Natoo is a hilarious YouTuber as well as talented singer. Her <strong>colorful videos are wild, weird and she is often just her wacky self.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Natoo makes vlog-style videos and often has guests or collaborators on her channel. She does various challenges with friends, and makes videos on travel, make up, fashion and life in general.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don&#8217;t understand much French at this point, her videos are a visual treat and you can often understand what&#8217;s going on even without following the language.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>32. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSdJiWi0tq9CAx1bizne6mA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Maltor<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"sbORz_AI1RQ\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>Thinking about going abroad? Or just need to satisfy some wanderlust from home? Travel vlogs like Bruno Maltor\u2019s are a popular genre on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Bruno on his <strong>travel adventures around the world and various destinations in France<\/strong>. He also features other world travelers and shares insights on what it&#8217;s like to travel full-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bruno is well-known in France, and in my personal opinion, not only is the content he offers amazing, but he also has a very neutral accent. He does speak quickly though!<\/p>\n<h3>33. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/LeRiiiiiiiireJaune\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kevin Tran \u9648\u79d1\u4f1f<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"91ujDL5gQv8\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>This is a YouTube comedy channel that was originally created by two brothers of Chinese and Vietnamese descent. Now it&#8217;s mostly videos created by one of the brothers, Kevin.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin <strong>offers a view into the Asian-French experience. <\/strong>He also started posting more <strong>animated biographical<\/strong> <strong>videos<\/strong> as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He used to make only videos in French, but has been making videos in English, too, after an English video of his went viral. This means that there are a great selection of subtitles, so you can choose your language!<\/p>\n<h3>34. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/joueurdugrenier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Joueur Du Grenier<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"ejjGvdNlV3w\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>For the gamer French learner, check out this YouTuber named\u00a0<em>Joueur Du Grenier<\/em> (Attic Gamer).<\/p>\n<p>His videos often focus on him <strong>playing and commenting on video games, but he also makes videos about comics, movies and TV shows<\/strong>. He will take you back to your childhood with Super Nintendo, Megadrive and other retro consoles.<\/p>\n<p>But even if you&#8217;re not a gamer yourself, you can still enjoy the hilarious videos full of sketches, jokes and even songs!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>35. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Amixem\">Amixem<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><lite-youtube videoid=\"T0GHwC0VTVg\"><\/lite-youtube><\/p>\n<p>Maxime, the guy behind Amixem channel, creates super fun content ranging from <strong>gaming and travel adventures<\/strong> to hilarious challenges.
