thank you so much for your videos! my family is amazed by how much words I know in french I told them I learned it from you and I am now teaching the numbers in french to a two year old 😄 please keep making videos they are so helpful ❤❤❤
Alexa is an interactive and excellent teacher with heart and mind of the learner. She knows where the learner struggle for. I strongly recommend to subscribe or go through her episodes.
What about the "un" sound? Most textbook etc. say that it is pronounced it's own particular way but it always sounds the same as "ain" when I hear French people say it.
As I was saying to another person, the "un" and the "ain" are pronounced exactly the same way for a native French speaker ! Don't bother to try to make a difference between the two because there isn't ^^ And French people will understand you just fine
@@kevinbarreau9672 oh my god thank god you cleared that up, i was worried about that too. I could always do 'un', and 'pain' , never thought there was a difference until i saw this video, but hey you cleared that up. Cheers!
Merci Alexa! Est-ce que vous pouvez faire une vidéo avec la différence entre sons nasales IN, EN et ON ensemble en une vidéo, pour écouter la différence?
Thank you! My problem is, I hear (or think I hear) many people pronouncing this sound as the 'an' in 'blanc'. That is, 'pain' and 'paon' sound exactly alike. Is this just a particular accent? Also 'main', which most people seem to say like 'ment', at least to my ear.
Actually, the people who live in the South part of France tend to replace the "an" sound with an "ain" sound. That's only cultural and proper to the region where they live ^^
As another example, when I've heard 'train' spoken, it sounds more like 'trente', although of course 'trente' isn't nasal and has the 't'. But 'train' is another example of a word not sounding the way I expect it to sound, when I hear it spoken.
I still keep hearing im as am... "Ah" and when I try to make the different sounds, it unfortunately sounds the same to me... I speak Portuguese I know how to make nasal sounds but how do I do the different sounds? Are my lips suppose to be rounded or different?
In International phonetic alphabet, this particular sound is written as [ɛ̃], but to me, it really sounds [ã]. What is your opinion? P.S.- I'm a Bengali speaker. Bengali has both of these [ɛ̃] and [ã] sounds. So I can pronounce them differently as phonemes. But this 'ain' sound doesn't seem to me as [ɛ̃] (according to IPA), as I can spot the difference.
wow. fantastique Alexa comment ça va? ça fait longtemps je suis tellement content merci beaucoup actuellement je parle bien le France et ça grâce à vous bientôt
