[@daviddupont517]

I come from a place in France famous for no accent. And I kinda agree in this video. The French girls have a little cute accent in her voice that I can't rely localised and the Swiss don't have (at least for the few word we heard) the typical Swiss accent. But they are all cute at the end.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I’m American but I have never heard anyone pronounce the T in Saint for the brand. I had never heard of the brand Jacquemus before this channel but most Americans where I am from pronounce the name Jacques like Jock so I think that would be their first assumption. That being said I met a lady where I live now in the Midwest whose daughter’s name is Jacque and I read it at first as Jock only to find out her name is pronounced like Jackie. So I think some Americans might pronounce it like Jah kee.

[@TheMoviePlanet]

I'm French and I've never heard of Jacquemus before. I looked it up and it looks like it was only launched about 10 years ago.

[@Lampchuanungang]

People til that loves ancient french and ancient english pronounces all letters includes the final T, it's not common but exists.

[@EddieReischl]

I'm so American I've never even heard of Givenchy or Jacquemus. I only know Hermes as the messenger of the Greek gods. The other words have some parts that are also English words (Saint, Christian), so we tend to say those the American way, and then make a half-ass attempt at saying the other part in a pseudo-French way, which usually results in French people being very upset and asking for the Statue of Liberty back.

The french girl has a very slight foreign accent in every of the videos. I am not sure she should teach others. She emphasis the en-an sounds a very tiny bit at times, the way english speakers would. Swiss girl has a proper pronunciation.

[@pitshard6079]

Are you dumb ? Their are many accents in france

[@Lavlianais]

My mum is fully french born & grew up there but when she moved to the uk after years her accent died a bit so i think thats probably the same case for her but i also agree w u bc w my mum having a weak accent it made it harder for me to understand perfectly whenever id go to France

[@DailyDiscountNL]

[@nirutivan9811]

Would have been far more interesting with just one french speaking person and three non-french speaking person.

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

Yes, I am French and I agree with that. There is no point here because all the people in the video use the same French with different accents on the sentences only, except for the poor American girl. I don't really like the way this French girl talks about her accent. She was all alone and it looked like she was being made fun of during the entire video. Not very nice. Maybe people don't see it but... it's a common thing in France. Making Americans look stupid when they try to pronounce French words. I do not like it.

[@oliverfa08]

Many words of origin when they go to another country or language they change their pronunciation, this explains the "American sound" of these French brands

[@laanhi7248]

But despite of that pronunciation, still, French's the most romantic and fanciest language.

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

As a French person, I am very surprised to learn that French seems so chic to other countries because French is basically a "boring" language when you pronounce it. We don't have any accentuation so when I hear English or Americans speaking with their round or drawling accent, I find it sexy or sophisticated. Italian is really classy for us to hear and Asian languages ​​or Russian are really very exotic for us. French looks fancy but it is very "flat" compared to Spanish which is really very close but punctuated with pretty accents.

[@aayush_vaishnav]

Sophia sis, If you're reading this hii✌️

[@n0madtv]

All of the words emphasize either R or L. All non-english speakers have a harder time with R and L because we don't use a glottal stop or roll R, and L is basically the exact same tongue placement and mouth shape with only a very tiny change in tongue placement. That is why Asians often switch the R and L, because they learn the same sound for both and it's confusing. All words with R or L sounds will always sound different in American accented english.

[@word42069]

In the US I usually only hear the proper pronunciations for French brands… but then again I live in the Northeast… specifically NYC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

It's not very true. I'm French and in NYC I never heard a French prononciation of French brands but it's ok. We understand perfectly and it's really cute so... never mind. It’s very Parisian behavior to make fun of Americans accents. But since the rest of the French can't stand Parisians, we don't care about their opinion. ^^

[@marijanovic7093]

I have a cousin from France (Strasbourg) and he is always shocked when he hears how people here in Croatia are pronouncing French brands such as Citȑoěn, Pežo, Řeno, Bȕgati, Alpina, Ližijěȑ, etc.

[@Thunderworks]

There is a "French brands" video each 3 months. See you in december.

[@nyko2.054]

Hi everyone, I think that saying "the french/swiss or belgian accent" is a kind of restriction for the whole country. I am from Switzerland and there is plenty of different accents, and that's the same for Belgium and France of course. It would be a better comparaison to see all Swiss accent, then frenches and belgians to see the difference

[@crymieze9003]

The french girl doesn't sound french ahahha but the swiss girl does !

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

@@PSYPrimo Non, il a raison... Elle a un accent plus prononcé que la suisse. Et plus "sophistiqué" aussi puisque madame s'amuse à se moquer de l'accent américain. Elle ferait mieux de ne pas la ramener parce que niveau maniérisme elle est clairement la pire des quatre.

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

@@PSYPrimo Je l'ai vu dans la vidéo. Je suis une femme, je suis française et j'ai vécu à Paris. Clairement elle est un pur produit parisien de maniérisme. Qui plus est le double langage féminin est pas passé inaperçu aux autres femmes. Elle se moque clairement de l'américaine et la tacle sur sa prononciation avec un joli sourire mais l'attaque n'a pas échappé aux autres filles qui sont venues à son secours vers la fin de la vidéo en défendant sa prononciation et en la complimentant. Note d'ailleurs qu'elle est restée silencieuse à ce moment là. Tkt, nous (les femmes) on comprend parfaitement quand une femme nous tacle en sous-marin, surtout quand c'est ultra répétitif. Elle se cache même plus quand elle dit que c'est "typiquement américain" et qu'elle tacle les américains. Le but était clairement de la descendre. La différence entre un homme et une femme c'est que le mec aurait dit le fond de sa pensée directement une fois de façon brut sans revenir dessus à chaque fois tandis qu'elle, elle va utiliser un terme à la fois positif et négatif pour faire passer le message et va réitérer son petit manège à plusieurs reprises pour que son message soit très clair pour sa cible. (très belle PP en passant. Journey ?)

[@bambiclumsyfawn]

@@PSYPrimo Je t'assure qu'elle est vraiment pas sympa pour le coup. Elle donne pas une belle image de nous en comparaison des autres personnes françaises qui sont passées dans ces vidéos. (Aaaah ! J'ai pas fait Sky donc j'ai pas vu la réf. J'ai juste reconnu Journey qui est un jeu sublime ^^)

Is there a difference between Wallonians and Flemish people when they pronounce the names of French brands? Also is there a difference between Swiss French, Swiss Germans and Swiss Italians in the way they pronounce the names of French brands.

[@daylonmurray8068]

I can’t say for the Flemish, but Swiss Germans and Swiss Italians might say those words a bit differently, but usually we’re very good at pronouncing French/German/Italian words. As a Swiss French, I even say VW “vévé” as I mix “faouvé” as German-speakers would say and “védublevé” as French would say.

[@jaydenisaidiot07]

well flemmish people use alot of french words in their dialect so no we do not pronounce french brands or names differently

I’ve never understood why the French language has letters that don’t get pronounced, coming from an angle of Germanic languages where basically every letter gets pronounced in some form. Seems rather confusing.

French ortograph comes from latin, but since the pronunciation is germanic, letters remain for grammar. Example : marchanD* -> marchanDE (feminine)

I know this is meant to show more awareness about how brand names in French are correctly pronounced, but the French girl herself sounds as if she’s mocking or being sarcastic when she corrects the American girl. Also, may I add, they should have added, for instance, South Americans or Asians too to show more range. The content you guys had where an American was the lead and different Asians translated American words to their language was genuinely more fun and everyone was more receptive towards their differences.
