Do you need to speak French to live in France? I'd say give it a shot with this video's paid partner Lingoda using my link try.lingoda.com/JayxLingoda or my code 40JAY to get up to 40% off their flex plan today.

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris since 2017 with an earlier stint in 2012. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home long enough that I finally earned French citizenship in 2024! You can see the vlog about my French citizenship ceremony here: youtu.be/e4fl9D0oUso
I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris on my second channel @paris.in.my.pocket and put everything else here on this channel: life in Paris, traveling in Europe, and trying to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.
