You explain things so enthusiastically! I didn't skip a second of your video!

French here, just watching by curiosity and I confirm that all you said is very accurate, well done! It's just worth mentioning that some of those words and expression are reasonably recent (kiffer ou avoir le seum, par example) which mean you would probably not hear them often from 30yo+ French people and the older generation may not even understand them (or if they do, they'll probably roll their eyes because they tend to consider more recent evolutions of our language not being French at all). Also, I've never thought of it but avoir la flemme does sound like avoir la phlegm and can, indeed, be confusing. It's particularly true considering you rarely say "J'ai la flemme" with a broad smile on your face so, I can fully see that expression being a problem for none French speakers. That was a great anecdote to share with the viewers. Finally, I wanted to point out that your accent is very nice and smooth. I imagine your mother tongue is English and if I'm correct, I know for a fact that some sounds can be fairly tricky to get right for English speakers so, good job for that too. Votre vidéo était très intéressante à regarder et les expressions dont vous parlez sont parfaitement corrects. Beau travail ^^

A little precision about the expression "avoir la flemme": "Flemme" is a synonym of "Paresse" which means "Laziness", so "J'ai la flemme" litterally means "I have laziness" or in a better english "I'm too lazy". So if you are answering a question or reacting to a proposition, for example a friend asks if you want to go out tonight you can just answer: "Non, j'ai la flemme." (=Nah, I'm too lazy"). If you text them first to cancel, just add context and specify what it is that you are not motivated to do, like this: "J'ai la flemme de *insert what you're too lazy to do*." So in this context : "J'ai la flemme de *sortir ce soir*." (=I'm too lazy to go out tonight) great video!

This video is perfect… short and sweet.

Frenchie here ! Loved the vid, you really nailed the pedagogy here ! Also your accent is very good imo. Although I would add something for "cramer". I don't think I ever heard it being used as "tired/exhausted". I'm from Southern France so maybe it's a Northern habit to use it that way. BUT "cramer" (which litterally means "to burn") can also mean "to get caught" like when you get caught doing something you're not supposed to be doing. "Ce mec s'est fait cramer alors qu'il volait des bonbons" = "This guy got caught as he was stealing candies"
