Hello welcome to Easy French it's me Coleman once again Today we're in Paris and we're focusing on the family We want to know about people's families and what their relationships are with their families Are their families doing well or aren't they all that stuff So let's go here we go What does family mean to you For me family is one of the Family You mean the family the father the mother or the family What does family mean to you Ah that's terrible Important What does family mean to you Family is of paramount importance It's essential I think it's even essential The importance of family Yes It's about unity The importance of family lies in solidarity Everyone must be on the same page walking the same path—nothing more For me family is very important because it represents my roots Because they serve as valuable anchors in a constantly changing society where unfortunately if you don 't have these pillars beside you it's not easy to live It's something very important I enjoy spending time though right now I'm not with my son but I truly love spending time with him It's important it's support It's a place for socializing—this is what society teaches us from a young age What I've learned in life originally comes from them so it's extremely important Family is great for education and also for giving love to children You agree Yes And who are the members of your family here in Paris My brothers and sisters My family We're a bit large but not the entire family I have one brother and five others Everyone in my family is from here—I have my father mother sister and consequently my partner and daughter so that’s the whole story My family consists of my children That's all that matters to me—my children We don't have children but we have parents we see often and cousins too Who is part of your family then And who are the ones in your family here in Paris My parents my mother my father my little sister and my little brother So the husband isn't part of it then No the husband is included but the children come first after them the husband follows My parents are gone but I still have my son and his family who have children of their own and so the next generation carries on I have both my parents living in Paris a sister who lives in Geneva and all my cousins are in Paris—there are seventeen of us Okay sure and you As for me I don't have any family in Paris I have a sister so in Paris I have only one sister otherwise my mother lives in Brittany So I don’t see her as often obviously but I’ll see her soon And who else in your family is here in Paris Oh Paris—unfortunately I don’t have anyone here except that gentleman over there What’s his name Cash And who else in your family is here in Paris They've all gone away they've all gone far away We're from Paris so we have our parents living in Paris My brothers sisters and also I consider the Wiss family as part of my family too Who is part of your family here in Paris I don’t have any in Paris Actually there's my girlfriend here—she's Italian—she lives with me in Paris but apart from her they're all in England Here my real family is far away so my family here would be my friends And friends too because with friends you can share things secrets you wouldn't tell your parents You can do things with them that you can't do with parents and they're the ones who matter You agree you're part of his family right Yeah clearly we've been brothers since ten years ago And do you have a special family tradition that's really important to all of you What do you mean I don't know maybe Is there a family tradition you manage to keep alive despite the distance No Gossip GossipYes What does that mean It means talking negatively about others There's always someone on either side keeping track so we know everything that happens throughout the week We really need to see each other at least once or twice a week We often have Sunday lunches It's something I used to do when I lived with my parents so I still carry it on at my mother's or father's place because now they're no longer together The classic family traditions What do you mean Birthdays Easter Christmas—those kinds of things Christmas Easter that's it Yes especially Christmas the Easter holidays mainly Tradition for me is truly Christmas even though I am absolutely not religious or Catholic finally no I'm not Catholic but I think it's the time when we all come together exchange small gifts And we try to make others happy Yes a little bit Following football is part of my family's traditions so I try to keep up with my team in England when I'm in Paris as well as all the results from the England team Family tradition laughter Laughter That's something important right now I believe There it is I hope you
