As a french I was really surprised.. You really get the way french poeple speak. That "euh" beetwen each word gave you that annoying accent French poeple have when they speak engllish ^^

[@pseud0nul]

You do it really well ! I was surprised :D I am French. I think you are right but it's maybe a little too exagerated in the video (but I get you have to do it this way to demonstrate) Then again when you said "salut" for the first time I thought you were French! Greetings :)

[@АяЯнсен]

That's an excellent French accent and a marvelous observation.

[@ostreaedulis5173]

Yes, absolutely excellent !

Je comprends bien, il est difficile au début. J'ai l'habitude d'être comme ca quand j'ai commencé à apprendre français. Mais il devient plus facile, avec beaucoup de pratique. :)

[@akuma5194]

Rico Elyes Shut up teemo , i'm french xD

[@CorailAuxJoues]

It's not a question of holding the breath at the end of the word. It's because the tonic accent in French goes down at the end of a sentence instead of up as it does in English which gives this impression of longer words in French.

[@TheTheolm]

C'est marrant sa remarque sur le léger souffle qui marque la fin de certains mots. C'est en voyant cette vidéo que j'y ai prêté attention. Jamais de la vie avant. Très intéressant pour un apprentissage réciproque.

[@WilliamStMARTIN]

Because she notices things that I never even realised, and manages to explain it in a way that is really easy to reproduce for learners and beginers. Just watched the video again, and the french accent when speaking english is really believable ! :)

[@Dahed92]

I love your smile

[@xelahot]

i currently speak french. your french accent looks perfect :D

[@alixleroi]

Are you french? your french accent seems so real but i am not sure you are because you made a mistake, you said pas "de" tout instead pas "du" tout. I'm confuse

[@freegance]

I totally agree with her, she describes very well about the phonetic and the breath, the sound, the manner how to put the tongue inside the mouth and the teeth !!! Vous faites un très bon travail ! Congratulations ! It's really a pleasure to see her explaining ! Keep your lovely English accent !

[@isaackemp2151]

The bit of air at the end of "salut", though, is a bit much. As a general rule, add the little burst of air to words that end in "e" and for the rest just end it as is.

[@UnfamiliarPlace]

It is a different thing from that final e muet -- though not sure if it's something all French speakers do. I've known a couple of native speakers who did have very pronounced "exit breaths", as she calls them, particularly on 'u' sounds.

[@cora6580]

It's so funny! You do it so well! Tho i have to say, not every french sound this way, it is a bit overdone i think, after a few years practising you don't sound like this anymore

[@wenting2457]

These are really good tips, apologies for the thirstiness here. I'd just attribute it to the very nice sounding French accent. Moi, je ne parle pas bien la francais, mais je pratique, et j'espere que je deviens bien, un jour.

Good observation!! I think this tip could be helpful thank you!

[@meio4744]

formidable

[@valouMJcalifornia7]

I'm french ! And you know what Amy? French people often don't make any effort to speak English/American with the right accent !!! I love American accent and I understand it better than the English one, though I studied English during 7 years. Then I improve myself by training courses with a real American teacher during 2 years! I used to speak it fluently and I traveled to Canada .... But then my life became a mess ... And I have forgotten so many words/sentences .... ! But now that I follow you, I'm gonna check my level! Last week I spoke with an American FB friend during the whole night for me (about 6 hours). I was so happy (and tired too lol). I wish I could meet you to talk with you. Thanks for your videos, and smiles, you're so sweet and nice 😊

[@EthalaRide]

This is getting really close to ASMR

[@ashleydyl3228]

I'm bilingual; I speak both English and French and your video along with your salut killed me ROFL. By the way, you also made me realise that fact about pushing out one's breath when speaking French. That was awesome. Thank you.

[@aidan6083]

Dear God...

[@christopherfayolle4209]

Damn I'm french and had never noticed about that breath trick.. We do make the end of the words slip, but it's defently not the what we especialy do to "les liaisons" which is what makes french fluid (for those who don't know what it is, it's the principal making the sound letter that is supposed to be mute) for exemple "Un autre" is said "Un nautre" so there's not break in the sentence (doesn't work if the first letter of the next word is an "h" as "haricots" for instance as the "h" in french is ALWAYS mute). Just noticed my comment is turning into a french lesson haha

[@LV1111-s8j]

Pas de tout? You mean Pas du tout

[@MegaCodgod99]

Is she actually French? And is it true that you blow out a bit after each word? I've been learning French and I've never heard of this. It kinda confuses me

[@LV1111-s8j]

I don't think she is french, for the little breathing sound, it depends of the region and guys usually don't do it. I think it depends on the situation, I tend to accentuate it if I'm trying to sound good or to sound more cute/sensual but I dont' really realize it in the moment ahah

[@heqorzo]

Your almost right Amy. In fact in french you must never make any separation between two words in the same proposition. For this we have some lettres muettes and we make elysions (i don't know how to translate it in english)

[@dedoubecool]

That was somewhat very irritating... and also not true ! who blows at the end of each word ?

[@CommeUnFrancais]

Okay but really though French people do that. They tend to exhale a little bit after their words at the ends of the sentences. You might not notice it because you're a natural French speaker, but you do it.

[@GreenDan868]

CommeUnFrancais It depends from which region too, because not all regions do in France do that

[@artarlert7845]

That was a little harsh

[@aquariangirl1]

you should trademark that exit breath Amy!! thank you for your help !!

[@peetaisthebest]

[@CoolColJ]

The french parts are so soothing to my ears

[@TheSuperMinski]

[@jfyllipy]

[@emmetor]

Amy, thanks for the exit breath info - This is what we always have in English, as spoken in Ireland. We say "right" as if it was spelt "ryshuh"... sort of. Depends on the accent - be aware that we all change our accents just a little - adopting some local features, dropping others, just to be understood in America.It would be so cool to hear you copy Gerry Ryan's accent - Gerry Ryan - Ryan Confidential Tribute

[@busterbunkermech1]

[@c.taylorny430]

Can you do more of these? You’re very precise! Also side note, you come across as a really pretty actress or comedian. Idk. Merci beaucoup!

[@CaptainDangeax]

Very good mimic of the french accent, for example when you say "as" or "often" by pronouncing the letters like a french would do.

[@backintimealwyn5736]

very good! most americans miss that when they are trying to imitate french accent , I can always tell that it's not a real french accent, but I could be challenged with you ^^ you really master this art it's impressive. Thanks for the vids bytheway they are helping me with my english/american accent. (I think I might pick the transatlantic , would'nt that be cool ? )
