We are three girls from Fonsorbes High School and we created this webpage to give you an idea of what American teenagers think about French teenagers and vice versa.

1. Top 5 words to qualify American teenagers as seen by French.

  • Roisterers
  • Impulsive
  • Lazy
  • Capricious
  • Impatient

But that's not true, is it ?!

2. The typical day of a French teenager as seen by French students

 

6:30 am getting up
8:00 am beginning of school day
10:00 am break
12:00 lunch
1:30 pm afterlunch recovery
3:30 pm break
5:30 pm end of school day
7:30 pm dinner
11:00 pm bed time

And that's exactly it !

3. The typical portrait of an American as seen by a French :

The Americans are imagined as blond, with blue eyes, tall and athletic. We have thus established the portrait of a typical teenager.

 

But that's not true, is it ?!

4. The typical portrait of a French as seen by an American :

French teenagers are often seen as brownhaired and wearing fashionable clothes.

But that's not true,  for sure ! 

5. Question asked to our classmates :  Would you like to be (an) American ?

 

And that's true, of course !
