The examples are too fast, too fast to repeat after. The pronunciation samples go too fast to repeat after.

@Yeediatable 7 лет назад

I did..bite my tongue ..and I am bleeding right now.....Kidding..that was a great explanation and practical presentation of the difference in pronunciation of OO and U sounds.... You definitely should have more subscribers!

@desertduke1 6 лет назад

Thank you for addressing OU vs U! But, I tried putting my tongue between my teeth and it stopped up the airflow! So I have read elsewhere the U is similar to pronouncing "eeee..." while the lips are rounded. Until today, this is how I've been doing it. What do you think of that method?

@scottmuck 5 лет назад

Agreed, no air (or noise) can come out of my mouth when my tongue is touching my top and bottom teeth :-( I can only make the sound by rounding my lips.

@skyesandoval5274 4 года назад

Omg this is an amazing tip!!!! I couldnt seem to do it until i read this! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

@elenaperez6327 3 года назад

Great video and teaching style. Thank you!

@desertduke1 6 лет назад

C'est une très bonne vidéo! I do have one suggestion-request about the editing... I like to pause the video at the end of each phrase to study and practice it, but many times the editing chops it off so quick that it's hard to catch. For example, the phrase at 2:02 to 2:04. Can you keep the phrase on the screen for maybe a second after you speak it? I love your lessons, and I'm binging on them this weekend!

@eb44345 3 года назад

Here's a tip to pronounce the 'u' sound. Make the 'i' (French) or long 'e' (English) sound. Then, without moving your tongue make the same sound but round your lips to make the 'ou' sound or a very similar sound is the English 'oo' sound as in boot. She's right that the lip positioning is the same in 'ou' vs 'u'. It's about the tongue positioning. To make the 'u' sound position your tongue the same as if it were the 'i' sound. Et voila!

I have spent ten years trying to wrap my head around this - it finally makes sense!!!!! I feel like I've cracked it...now I just need to check with un français...!

Oh wow how wonderful is that!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing and I want to make more pronunciation videos!

@stevenperkins1160 5 лет назад

J'adore ces vidéos! J'étudie le français depuis plus de 10 ans et j'ai toujours du mal à distinguer la différence entre le son "un" comme le chiffre et "in" comme dans le mot "vin." Pourriez-vous faire une vidéo là-dessus ou peut-être vous en avez déjà fait une?

@lucysullivan7469 4 года назад

Quelle est la différence entre les sons phonétiques « ɛ̃ » et « œ̃ » ? Comment différencier les voyelles nasales "in" et "un" soit /ɛ̃/ et /œ̃/ ? Merci pour la D2R . Je reprends les réponses de et pour discuter des points qu'ils soulèvent… Contrairement à ce que l'orthographe semble indiquer, in n'est pas un i nasalisé, et un n'est pas un u nasalisé. En tout cas, pas en français contemporain, bien que ça ait certainement commencé comme ça. La principale différence entre les deux phonèmes est que, pour dire un on arrondit légèrement les lèvres ("en cul de poule"), alors que pour in on les tire un peu vers l'arrière, comme un sourire. Si on prononce in en se bouchant le nez, on entend une sorte de è très ouvert, presque un a "à la parigote" : peinte avec le nez bouché sonne presque comme patte avec l'accent d'Arletty. Maintenant, si on se bouche le nez en disant un (pour ceux qui font la différence entre in et un), on entend eu. Pas le participe passé du verbe avoir qui se prononce u, mais la voyelle de peur ou à peu près. La différence entre in et un n'est pas propre au français du Canada, même si les Parisiens l'ont à peu près abandonnée, et que de nombreux Français ne peuvent s'empêcher d'imiter le ridicule français de la télé…

@LiamNoir 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Although, when I imitate the sounds you're making and I think I'm getting it right (or on the right track) my tongue isn't where you say it should be. Does this mean I am definitely doing it wrong?

@FrenchTrulyTV 6 лет назад

It's hard for me to say without hearing you... is there someone around you who knows French who you can ask?

@LiamNoir 6 лет назад

Thanks for replying! Yeah, I'll ask someone who might know! Just feels like my tongue is doing something completely different :)

@carolinewiggins2803 6 лет назад

Me too. I think I am pronouncing "u" correctly but my tongue is not touching behind my teeth. The tip of the tongue is floating but the part behind that is raised and touching the alveolar ridge.

@rufuscrackle 6 лет назад

I can only do it in a word with my tongue touching my lower teeth, not upper and lower. My sounds of "u" and "ou" is obviously to me different.

@irmaktemel7171 3 года назад

As a Turkish native speaker that was the easiest pronunciation lesson I have ever gotten, bcs we have only 29 sounds in our language and the ones you thaught are u(ou)and ü(u) which are completely different sounds in Turkish :)

@sarahcallejo4004 6 лет назад

can you do a video on tips to properly pronounce the "r" sound?

@lucysullivan7469 4 года назад

The / ʀ / French is pronounced in the throat, as if we wanted to pronounce / k / or / g /, by making air out on the sides, with the tongue very flat against the lower teeth.

@CamilaGarcia-jj8qk 4 года назад

Best teacher

@gwho Год назад

one, the tongue is back and up. the other, the tongue is forward and up. completely different. the back and up vowel is way more similar to the vowel in "saute" or "hotel" (french pronunciation)

Another way to describe it: Say 'ee' with inside the mouth, and HOLD THAT TONGUE POSITION. Then move JUST THE LIPS, to say 'oh'!

@FrenchTrulyTV 7 лет назад

Oh no!! Why isn't it working? You need to train your tongue then! :-)

@JorgeSpina1980 6 лет назад

Put your mouth/lips in the same position you do to pronounce the letter U (ooh sound in English, like u at the end of the word you) and then say I (eeh sound, like the I sound of the word feet) and that's it!

@RoyalGuardEziode 5 лет назад

it's the other way around for me :( still just as annoying

@aprilspencer 5 лет назад

Could it be OU=OO and U=EWW? Not exactly eww but a little bit similar to eww as in "eww after ou"? Because when I try to put my tongue between upper and lower teeth slightly, I can't even make any sound. ☹️

@anneleagram8693 5 лет назад

Charles April Try by using the work ski. Isolate the open vowel ‘i’ and slowly round your lips around the vowel to make the sound U.

I didn't had any difficulties with this partly because the sounds are differentiated in Chinese so I could really hear the difference clearly. Came here out of curiosity as the internet was saying this was difficult aside from the French R. Ou = Wu U = Yu

@expression3639 5 лет назад

Peut-être qu'il faudrait éviter d'utiliser des mots anglais quand t'essaies d'enseigner à des anglophones à prononcer le Français. Ils vont intuitivement essayer d'utiliser la prononciation anglaise et c'est pas bon du tout.
