I was wandering endlessly searching for a clear and precise lesson on French pronunciation and seriously your instruction is the best! And I wonder when the second video about Spelling Rules will come out. Did I miss something? I'm looking forward to it!

@Ronpaulians 4 года назад

Yes, I wish I had money to pay him. The other videos I watched were lousy and compared to this... I would tag them as awfully dissatisfying

@detodeto7 10 лет назад

Definitely the best pronunciation lesson that I've ever had! I keep watching this to master French pronunciation. Thanks a lot!

@katieharris1854 7 лет назад

Your videos are the most useful pronunciation guides I have found by far. Merci!

@brittcamarillo7141 9 лет назад

Thank you for the fantastic and informative video! The linguistic explanations have aided my understanding of French pronunciation tremendously. Thank you again!

@joychanning4128 7 лет назад

The video is totally professional! Glad I found it!

@kyleandjenna2408 4 года назад

This is AMAZING! Exactly what I was looking for. I have a linguistics background and a few languages under my belt already. I was looking for something that would take into account my previous knowledge and experience. When other videos on the vowels sounds in French start with "There are 5 vowels sounds in French" I knew I was in trouble. Thank you X1,000!

@cynikalX 11 лет назад

I've gone through hundreds of french learning videos on youtube, and this is among the very best, (cremé de la cremé lol), i hope the second (spelling rules) and any other parts are forthcoming, i'm on the edge of my seat to see them and see what more tidbits insights and gems i can acquire thanks to your in-depth analysis!!

@itsteganyay 9 лет назад

I'm so glad I found this video, it's very informative! Thank you so much! I find all of the French "R" sounds extremely difficult to pronounce no matter how many times I have shadowed them, but I'm going to just focus on the voiced uvular fricative as you suggest. I think the alveolar trill is beyond my reach, but I have had some limited success with the uvular trill. Most of the time my "r" comes out like "h" though, it's very disheartening.

@enter19 11 лет назад

These videos are amazing. Please keep up the good work. Spanish is my first language and I'm looking forward to your Spanish pronunciation video.

@joshuanavarro8925 11 лет назад

Great video, very clear and concise! I wish I had something like this for German when I first began to learn.

@henrycrnkovich 7 лет назад

It's incredible all the information you have here. It's a bit daunting, to be honest. But I am going to try it. Thank you. I bought your book last week and it is fantastic.

@FluentForeverApp 7 лет назад

Thank you for the compliment and good luck with the language learning. Bet you will do great!

@seungjinkim18 10 лет назад

Is the second part of the video you mentioned at the end of the video every going to be made? This one was so helpful. Thank you.

@felipellrocha 11 лет назад

So, one more month without new videos? Crap. Well, hurry up man! I can't wait for new videos! Lol. You have no idea how helpful your videos were, especially since I am an ESL person. Keep up the good work! :D

One of the best and technical English to French IPA video I have seen so far. Thanks for creating. I wish to have more details video where we can practice and master the French IPA (Mainly the difficult or confusing ones.)

@FluentForeverApp 10 месяцев назад

We're glad to hear the video was helpful to you! 😊

@BentleyDrummle1 12 лет назад

That was a very interesting video. I found the anki tips useful as well. I had a look at your site. You are like the Gig Young character in Teacher’s Pet. Thanks again.

@ramzy-6566 Год назад

practice makes perfect. great video.

@FluentForeverApp Год назад

Happy to help!

@stefanhansen5882 9 лет назад

Hi Gabriel. This is great! :) Will you tell where to find diagrams like those for other languages? Thanks!

@hbowman108 2 месяца назад

I was surprised learning French that there were only three nasal vowels because the CBC hockey announcers in English pronounce them differently in players' names. They are solidly distinct in Québec, but are not pronounced as given here. Québec also differentiates strongly between a and â.

@cpinter10 12 лет назад

love the video. any estimate on when the next one comes?

@guanlinhuang6139 10 лет назад

Wow! It's complicated but it's the most accurate tutorial that i've seen!! I hope there's one for German

@keshavrao212 3 года назад

German is as easy as it is. It is pronounced as it is written.

@keshavrao212 3 года назад

But you pronounce somw combinations differently

@Ronpaulians 4 года назад

My dear teacher! I love ya my bro!

@melanadracolin2522 11 лет назад

very helpful,thank you!:)

@ikaten3478 10 лет назад

Superb.

@yuanliangmeng9020 4 года назад

Good job. I also found some speakers add a weak vowel after a consonant, if it the end of a syllable, but others do not.

@jeremiahdonnay358 2 года назад

If there’s a consonant at the end like s or t (usually double s or double t) that’s pronounced, you can say the e sound after it. But most ppl dont say it. It sounds poetic or something. They say the e a lot in songs. This probably occurs with other consonants but I cant think of them rn

@buyersremorse7106 3 года назад

Absolutely excellent. Subbed you based on this vid only

@buivansy3698 7 лет назад

Hi, teacher. Thank you so much for the greatest French Pronunciation I've seen. Your video has much important information, but it will be greater if I see your mouth movement, like from 6:36 to 7:45. Wait, I have an idea, can you make a video about tongue movement, mouth movement about all sounds in French, it will be clearer and easier to imitate. Again, thank you so much and have a nice day!

@ramzy-6566 2 года назад

Thank you.

@FluentForeverApp 2 года назад

You're welcome!

@boul3tor 12 лет назад

Very interesting! I'll try this material on my wannabee fluent in French wife. Thanks!

@DavidJohnsson 11 лет назад

Are you going to make a similar video about German sound? That would be helpful!

@edgoulart8 12 лет назад

thanks for sharing... :)

@captainsmurk 12 лет назад

This is very advanced and complicated. I just wanted to hear the words so I could repeat them.

@antonioneto9681 3 года назад

Could you do a video like that showing those things in brazilian portuguese? Thank you.

@jccorman5848 12 лет назад

Brill, now can you follow me around so you can correct me all the time? :-) Congrats. Great video. One of the best phonetics video I've seen.

@buivansy3698 7 лет назад

Hi teacher, Can you make your video with your mouth movement when you speak French? Thank you so much.

@SreevatsaKota 11 лет назад

Your French tutorial too was quite impressive and has proved to be quite helpful. Thank you and God bless!

@ostraneniementepau 10 лет назад

Merci beaucoup monsieur! As a Spanish speaker learning English I'm already acquainted wit the IPA system and this has been just so helpful!

@TheBigDonkeyMarn 11 лет назад

Are you going to be releasing any more videos such as pronunciation of Russian vowels?

@ikeyeboahasante4080 6 лет назад

@vatnidd 11 лет назад

Is this for France-french or Canadian-french or is there no difference for pronunciation?

@mjdeasis4672 4 года назад

I cant even distinguish English vowels from themselves how cab I even learn French 😆

@superAweber 3 года назад

There's some prerequisite knowledge I'm missing. I'll go watch other IPA videos to understand those symbols better

@DushtuHulo 10 лет назад

I was wondering if there is any software that accurately provides the narrow IPA transcription for any sound - e.g. [pʰæk] for pack. It would be a great tool to learn a new language on one's own.

@Vitorruy1 10 лет назад

not but they are good enough, in the case of aspirated sounds, almost all the stressed syllables contain them so putting them on a dictionary isn`t worth the effort. If you want a recommendation the longman dictionary software have the most accurate IPA for American English. be sure to download the LDOCE viewer because the dictionary`s in-build interface is terrible

@musical_lolu4811 5 лет назад

Oh man, that would be too artificial as far as learning language is concerned. At best, learn the rules that apply at both the segmental and the suprasegmental levels, and (yes, a cliché) go out into the wild and immerse yourself, keeping an ear out for where native speakers observe these patterns. Auditory input is king; the IPA a supplement.

@jdbrown371 12 лет назад

It's meant to be Parisian "standard" (as if there is such a thing) French. Canadian French is very different. France has many versions of French with different pronunciation. Same with the Belgians. I can't speak with a Belgian accent but for reasons I can get into here, it's probably the best version of French. French is a little bit more varied from place to place than English but much less than Italian or German.

@suzy17f 11 лет назад

'French is a little bit more varied from place to place than English' Really? Living in Britain I have to disagree, my vowel pronunciations are completely different to those of Gabe in this video!

@angramainyu2026 4 года назад

He specifically noted he was using american english pronunciation as a model for this video.

a complete waste of time, that looks smart but wont get you any closer to your friench fluency. it's a nice theory but it's completely useless for anything practical
