4 reasons why I chose the FRENCH DREAM
This video is about 6 years in the making. It took me that long to settle down in France after studying the Grande Ecole programme here.
The real reason I moved to France was to perfect my French, these 4 points below supported the first point, really. But it's true and it's here!

great advice about life in general right there. There is more to existence than 9-5 job and never forget to enjoy the other part of life however lucrative 9-5 life is.
You bring so much positivity and ambition in the paris life I am living..I am almost burned out living in Paris region juggling between earning money and living life …watching your vedios cheered me up..kudos ..
appreciated your efforts. love from paris

Hi Joshua! I am currently a student at ESCP and I have recently got an offer for an internship in France! I must say, you and all your other fellow KZreadrs have definitely motivated me to make this move to France, and it is honestly everything you say it is! I really like the French culture, and I love the language! Im currently a B2 (nearing C1) and I also learnt French right from my high school in India to my bachelors, which was about 6 years in total! I just warted to say thanks a lot for all you do!!
finally found a great content to make a right decision!

You motivate me when i m at the lowest😢 thinking about the future
Working out, solitude, and cooking eating on my own- are all things that are part of my daily life. But not all "western" societies or even south asian societies allow for this lifestyle in today's time, especially with consumerism culture. As a PhD student, it can be tough juggling work and research, but I wake up at 5 am for my workouts and that makes the rest of my day much easier.

@@JoshuaBalata Indeed! Just a small request Joshua. Since you also speak Urdu and French- could you please make a short video for Urdu speakers like myself about making logic and meaning by using Urdu--> French rather than English--> French as a translation tool in our heads. It's easier to understand French from an Urdu point of view than English, I realised this during my first year of study. Also, love your videos and growth.

Whats the best way to bring our parents to France??
I noticed that there more and more indian expats in french cities. Up until the pandemic they were very rare. I'm happy to understand why it is a country of choice for your kinsmen because I thought that indians only emigrated to english speaking countries. Your food look tasty btw!

Hello! I'm sorry- I don't know. I never applied there. You could look up online forums/facebook groups, I use that for France workpermit news and how long it took people. Good luck!

Hello !
How about being 'content' instead of 'happy' about your life in France? As in the words of an American woman living in France who did a KZread video on a question people often ask her, "Are you happy in France? She said that being happy can be just a moment in a day whereas being content is more lasting. In France, you can have those moments you described for yourself. You don't have to prove anything, that you are the best (that's so American!), you can stop read a book, go to theatre, a museum, cook, go to the open market, walk along the River Seine, etc. Life is not about shopping, buying, consuming even though life in France has caught up with the Joneses but there is still a bit of the slow pace and holding back. Have you visited around Paris and some regions of France?

My french dream as a french is that indians live the indian dream, Africans the African dream, arabs the arab dream and asians the asian dream. Paris is not a french city anymore and people there go to the countryside mocking local people as dumb. Trust me or not, these people built Paris and ran away from you.
