A few weeks ago I started following several French fashion bloggers on Instagram, partly for their savvy French style, and partly to listen to their ramblings on Instagram stories. I thought it would be a good way to brush up on my French. I can still read it fairly well, and speak in basic, short sentences, but I always had issues understanding a French person speaking at their normal pace. So far I've only been able to pick out a few words here and there, but I'm getting better at understanding the overall subject of the little videos.
And this last weekend, their normal day-to-day videos stopped because two very important things happened: Saturday was Bastille Day, and on Sunday the French team won the World Cup! It was like a French national patriotism explosion on social media for two days. Vive la France!!
