Just a bit of advice from a Louisiana native who has spoken French (both Cajun and European) as a second language since the age of three: remember to stress the last syllable. While English tends to put emphasis on the first syllable, French puts it on the last. I hope that is helpful for future videos!

Very briefly in the UK in the mid to late 2000s there was a fruit cider on the market called Jacques. I used to pronounce with the correct French pronunciation but it turned out that everyone else (including the bar staff) called it Jacks. In the end I had to sacrifice my correct French pronunciation for the bastardised English one just to get served. The same thing happened a few years ago when I ordered a bottle of the Spanish beer Estrella Damm, using the correct pronunciation ...the barmaid looked at me like I'd gone mad and said "oh you mean EstreLLa?" pronouncing the Ls in the English way. She treated me as if I was in the wrong. I didn't have the strength to argue.

I mean I feel like, are we criticized? Really? Just comfort yourself that lots of English brands and even Nike are mispronounced elsewhere in the world, if that helps. And anyway super luxury brands hardly advertise if at all, so using their pronunciations correctly is basically just a social cue. You can always change your pronunciation and dialect based on your social setting. It's code switching and everyone does it one way or another. You can say Adidas differenty at home than when you're across the pond.

I have some old French blood in my family, so while 100% Aussie, I must have some of the rolling r's, and I enjoy spending time updating with French speaking native persons at work, and countryside French is again another side to add on.❤ Another trick I had learnt is how the language will rise and fall when spoken slowly, then increase the speed without forgetting the harsh to soft lit to the back of the nasal passage. The swearing is fun too😂 I am trying to learn Farsi (Persian) which has some French words used as well, so it comes in handy to have those French ones down pat 🤗🥂

A good trick if you can picture it when you learn French, English sounds are made in the front of the mouth, nearer to the teeth. French sounds originate from further back in the mouth, nearer to the throat. I'm a native French speaker who had a big accent when speaking English, but when I noticed this front and back of the mouth thing, I started correcting my accent and it made speaking English much easier. I suspect it would work the same way from English to French.

@tinamcnalley2575 3 года назад

I was born in Nashville, Tn. My first grade teacher couldn't understand why my English enunciation was so poor. In second grade, I realized on my own that "my mother talked funny" - she was German. I grew up concentrating on how I pronounced everything. No one thought I was from Tennessee. I could not even fake a southern accent (my siblings had severe southern accents.) Finally, at age 32 I moved to a "backwoods" area of the state where everyone "spoke hillbilly". After a couple of months, I would horrify myself as I heard myself pronouncing words in the local manner. Turns out, southerners only use the front of their mouth also - they just can't be bothered to open it very much either. Difficult to enunciate when you don't really bother to move your jaw much at all.

I'm so thankful that my HS French teacher (who had lived in France) didn't let us even see the book for the first few weeks; we only worked on proper pronunciation. For the French "R," she had us practice saying "OG" (as in dog) over and over --- then continue the same without fully closing the back of your throat. It was effective and it worked for most of us. It is much more effective than describing it as "AH."

@davidthaler7018 3 года назад

If you wanna see a language that isn’t pronounced in the way it’s written, check out some Irish words. For starters, the letter “h” screws up everything- any consonant immediately before an h takes on a completely different sound, and sometimes no sound at all. Example: The popular girls’ name “Siobhan” is pronounced “Shi-vawn”- the “bh” is pronounced as a “v”.

Some of the muscles and tongue position are identical to make certain sounds.

@LudoTechWorld 3 года назад

One of the particularity when we speak english with our silly french accent is that we don't "exhale" any consonant at the begining or inside a word. So the other way around, when you prononce french words you can try not exhaling too much those consonants to sound more french. For example, for "Lancôme", you tend to exhale a bit the "c" ("lanc-h-om"), but the "c" is prononced like the "k" sound in "Chloé" (same goes for the "t" in Vuitton, or the "t" in Occitane, that you prononce correctly at the end of Moët for example but you tend to exhale it more inside a word, since it's how it goes in english) . I know it's subtle but, well, it's a liitle thing that maybe can help people ^^
