La liaison is one of the trickiest parts of French pronunciation. Here are the rules for using it.

French pronunciation can be strange at times, and there are weird rules that you don’t necessarily have in English. For example, la liaison. It’s everywhere in spoken French, but it can be hard to understand when to use it (and when it’s not allowed).
I’m here to help you understand the rules of using (or not using) la liaison, with some examples, so you can get better at speaking real French.
With love from Grenoble, France.
Géraldine

Geraldine, . I struggle a lot trying to learn and understand the grammar rules, understanding fast speaking native French speakers and word pronunciation, but I am learning and improving, slowly! Like so many of your lessons, How to use “La Liaison” properly is outstanding! Your lessons are valuable and very effective. Thank you!

Hi Geraldine! Your videos are really great! So well explained. You really take a lot of trouble to help learners :) A request...one of the toughest things for English speakers is to figure out what letters are silent in French. Learning this over time by listening to audio is really slow. Please could you do a video on that. Merci beaucoup!

I had no idea until I watched a video yesterday and this video today that using liaison with être makes you sound posh and, according to the video I watched yesterday, it signals to French people that you don't really know the language that well. I had no idea! I've been learning French for about a year now and I've had many conversations with French people, both friends and teachers and none of them have ever told me that it sounds kind of unnatural or posh! The thing is I've been doing it for so long now that it feels natural and not like something I'll be able to stop doing very easily 😬

In some verbs you can't tell the difference between third person plural and third person singular pronunciation EXCEPT for the presence of the liason of the s in the plural ils/elles.

How would one use la liaison in phrases like this: Nous ne savons pas où ils sont. Comment allons-nous faire? I figured since the words “how & not” can be a noun, I wouldn’t say it. It feels right that way. But then I wonder are words like “how & not” considered singular? It seems like yes to me but I am still unsure. By the way thank you so much for this video. It’s helped me tremendously 🤍

Hi, I love your channel and have just subscribed. I've always wanted to know when and how to liaise in French. After watching this particular video, I know a lot more but still not 100%. For example, at time 3:50 in this video "Je vis en Amerique", why there's no liaison between Je / vis? Is it because of the rule "After the verb of singular person (je, tu, il/elle )"? You also mentioned about the "optional" cases where you have the choice. Interesting!
@ADFROMAN
@ADFROMAN 2 года назад
There's no liaison between "je" and "vis" because "je" doesn't end in a consonant and "vis" starts with one. There's no sound from "je" to hang onto the start of "vis"; it's already fully pronounced. If you're talking about "vis" and "en", then it's because of rule 4 of the (not strictly 5:24) forbidden liaisons @ 5:41.

@veraciteabsolue1221
@veraciteabsolue1221 3 года назад
You forgot the 'h aspiré' as an exception for making a 'liaison' ('mes haches') and obligation to shift 'ma' 'ta' 'sa' to 'mon' 'ton' 'son' in order to make a 'liaison' ('ma fille' but 'mon_adorable fille' or 'mon_histoire' although 'histoire' is feminine and because the h is 'muet').
@veraciteabsolue1221
@veraciteabsolue1221 3 года назад
...in that respect it should be pointed out that the French hates hiatuses (two successive voyelles) so that 'le' 'la' 'de' become 'l'' and d' (joindre l'utile à l'agréable) so that usually it is better to make a 'liaison' if you may.

This looks complicated. I don't think it's something you need to study. It's something you pick up automatically by learning how to speak french. I'm a native french speaker. No native speaker "studies" this. It's just the correct way to speak. Watching the video, it looks more complicated than it is.

@jakethesnake95
@jakethesnake95 3 года назад
The "des - to - de" rule is losing ground in modern French, and fewer and fewer people apply it. Many native speakers would say "des petites oreilles" without giving it a second thought. I'm a French teacher and I always tell my students that they should at least recognize the "de" rule, but that they don't have to produce it.
