For Kylian Mbappé, most people pronounce his surname wrong, even in France. As he said himself, it is Mmmmmmbappé, so it's the humming "mmmh" sound. There also isn't any apostrophe after the M.

[@TheCapitaineCarnage]

He actually said himself it is not the case. The 'm' sound is barely pronounced.

Marcel Desailly was a great defender alongside Thuram and Vieira; they formed a wall for many years. They won the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000. pronunce like that ''Desayi' And Zidane is one of the best players in the world. He is part of those great stars Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Zidane was the coach of Real Madrid for 10 years and won almost all the European cups. He is one of the most decorated players on the planet. There is a strong chance he could become the coach of the French national team in the near future.

[@TuaTeMauAkauAtea]

French is never a euphonious, literal and easy language, non-native people who like this language must understand this. It is a musical language, allophonic and only extreme tonal, vowels and final consonants are not spoken and are silent, normal tones are low and closed, when the tones are open, words are open and circumflex, the spelling of each term informs this. Once a person understands that French is tonal and musical, they learn the language better and lose the fear and myth surrounding the language.

Doesn't this other half who speak French also take Flemish classes from 3rd to 12th grade?

[@BelgexoL]

@@TuaTeMauAkauAtea Dutch isn't mandatory in the French part of Belgium. In school, we can choose between Dutch and English, and the latter is chosen by the vast majority. We do have immersion schools, evening classes and you can take Dutch in university along with English (and/or other languages if you wish), but we usually have a choice to make between English and Dutch from primary (6-12 y.o.) to secondary (12-18 y.o.) school. I don't know if the rule changed, I finished school a few years ago, but I remember that you had to stick with your first choice until you either finished school, or taking another language wasn't an option for specific studies, so because the level went up each year (obviously), you couldn't switch and start the other language while everybody else had already gathered knowledge from the previous year(s). Strangely enough, German isn't even part of the equation despite being the third official language... logic went out of the window a long time ago in our small, divided country.

I just realized, almost all those last names are not even French. Mbappé and Tchouaméni are Cameroonian, Lloris is Catalan, Griezmann is German, Kanté is Malian, Koundé is Beninois, and Zidane is Arabic. France is getting their football talent from immigration more than their native population. 🤣

which native population? from which century? and which part integrated in France? the german part? italian one? catalan one? briton one? celtic one? gaul one?

[@tonybaihao4178]

Many French players do have foreign origins, but so do players from other nations. I can give so many names : Harry Kane (Irish) Jorginho (Brazilian origins representing Italy) Memphis Depay (Ghana) Miroslav Klose (Polish descent represented Germany) Zlatan Ibrahimović (Bosnian) Romelu Lukaku (Congolese) Christian Pulisic (Croatian) Even the 2 GOATS of Football have foreign ancestry : Italian for Lionel Messi, who also has Spanish citizenship, and Cabo Verdean for Cristiano Ronaldo. All of this to say that no matter what their origins are, they will never reduce the belonging a football player has to the country they represent. CR7 and Leo Messi have foreign ancestry, but belong as much to Portugal and Argentina as native people from both countries, and this applies to any other player.

[@hugokana6425]

Can you do the same for USA and Canada? France has always been a country of immigration. The country have had the Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, Polish, North Africans, sub-Saharan Africans, and Vietnamese. And all this mix forms France.

@@hugokana6425First of all, France isn’t like Canada and America countries that were built and founded not even 300 years ago by European immigrants and doesn’t even have their own language or culture. France is a very old country that has its own people, history, language, and culture. Also saying « France has always been a country of immigrants » is such a reach acting like as if France was only founded in the early 19th century and simply denying a whole thousand years of history. Those « Italian, Polish, Portuguese ,,etc» only came to France in the early 19th century. While « North Africans and sub-Saharans » only came 50 years ago.
