You can find a lot (all?) of the Hélène et les Garçons episodes on YouTube, too.
Another good "sitcom-like" that you can find on YouTube is extr@. It's cheesy, but it's entertaining enough for what it is, and they have it for French, German, and Spanish (and English). Interestingly, it's the same main actor for French, German, and Spanish, a Dutch actor playing an American, while the rest of the cast changes around him.
- vintermann 1y agoThere's something charming about old language learning shows, both overt and "covert" ones like Hélène et les Garçons. I remember Muzzy in Gondoland, BBC's English language teaching cartoon from the 80s. I wonder why language learning apps aren't more into making entertainment in the language they're proselytizing these days.
- bluGill 1y agoVideos are expensive to make and expensive to host. Hard for an app to make money off them.
- vintermann 1y agoThat makes sense. These old shows probably got government funding for their language promotion mission.
