About Easy French
Easy French is a YouTube channel of street interviews: the team asks people in Paris and elsewhere in the French-speaking world everyday questions and films the answers, with on-screen subtitles in French and English. The videos are free, and members on Patreon (from €5 a month) get extra material. It suits any learner from A2 who wants to hear how ordinary people really answer. Answers are short, so it trains recognition more than following a long conversation.
