40 % of english vocabulary comes from the french language .. England used to speak french for 300 years , French was the language of The court of England and The Monarchy ... I am from Quebec and though our roots are from France , we say diner like The Swiss and Belgium . Only France has different words for the different meals of the day .. As for numbers , we use the same words as France .. Belgium and Switzerland use the same words for numbers ... It is easy for an english speaker to read french than any other languages since 40% of english words comes from french language .. like Station, competition, sports etc even in medecine since latin is part of the vocabulary : cardiologue ( cardiologist) , neurologue ( neurologist), dermatologue ( dermatologist ) etc

I learned it the French way too. I'm Belgian but a Flemish speaking Belgian. I do understand French because they teach us in school. However I poorly speak it and with an accent I assume. so my French isn't good enough to hear the different accents to pinpoint them to a country. To me they were all from France. Until the counting part I would have never figured out who is the real French not even who is the Walloon girl from my own country. The counting part gave it away for me too. Non of them was Canadian French I knew that much from the start because I heard Trudeau speaking in French to the people of Quebec on TV. I hope he is as bad in pronouncing French as I am and the native people in Quebec don't sound like that at all. It was awfull not "chique" like these girls. sorry but this is how I feel to the Fench speakers of Canada if you do sound like that.

I couldn't tell by the accents, but I guessed just by assuming that the other European countries would not have that many people who looked like that. That is probably a wrong stereotype on my part, but the number stuff confirmed my guess.

Yes and no :) Because 80 is by itself a number It's not incorrect to say that 90 is the sum of two numbers: 80 + 10 But you can also see it like that quatre-vingt-dix = 4(20)+10 = 80 + 10 To be honest for a native speaker we will never think about 70 (soixante-dix) / 80 (quatre-vingt) / 90 (quatre-vingt-dix) being special, it's just how we were taught so they are their own thing, but it's tricky for someone trying to learn the language yes.

Middle girl could technically be from Quebec or French speaking Africa as they say "quatre vingt dix" for 90 as well, but she doesn't have the accent from these countries, and one of them had to be French, so it had to be her. (But regarding Africa - do they use Belgian numbers in The Congo as it is a former Belgian colony??)

We also have one region that speaks italian and they suffer the most 💀 I think they have german french and mandatory english lessons😭

1:35 it's so funny because she's the only one with a outfit that is not typically French so I kind of knew already she might be from Belgium or Switzerland.

It's kinda funny Marie thinks "quatre-vingt" is "eighty" when it's "four-twenty"... "eighty" would be "huitante".

Yeah, numbers is a sure tell 😁 10:11 but 99 is not really “eighty plus ten plus nine” though, it’s actually “four twenties plus ten plus nine” 😭 Oh France, why can’t you just follow Belgium and Switzerland’s example and adopt “nonante” instead of your ridiculous “quatre-vingt-dix” 😂
