As a native English speaker who has studied French, I think “choir” looks like a French word, and I can’t blame them for pronouncing it the way they did. I’m surprised they didn’t all comment on how the spellings of English words often seem to have no relation to their pronunciation. By the way, the last word is spelled wrong, at least on the screen. There is only one “h” in the word “psychotomimetic.”

[@michaelweiske702]

Tbf, the English R is quite different from what other languages use as R. Most languages form R using the tongue similar to L, while English uses the lips similar to a W. This is why languages with no R at all tend to default to L (see "Engrish") and why Elmer Fudd uses W instead of L (see "Waskiwwy Wabbit")

[@SherriLyle80s]

@@michaelweiske702 Elmer Fudd is an American character who has a speech impediment.

[@michaelweiske702]

@@SherriLyle80s yes, he does, and that speech impediment makes it difficult to pronounce R's properly, though he still mimics the motions with his mouth, hence the W sound. Thank you for providing this very useful information.

Same with Americans. They pronounce Mirror as "meer" and "terrorist" and "tourist". Americans struggle with R's more than French.

They all do a great job. I wish that I could pronounce even easy French words as well as they do difficult English words.

[@ledganache]

Learn this at 9:11 _"anticonstitutionnellement"_ It's known as the longest word in french. If you can pronounce it, even brokenly, just knowing it, any French person will instantly congratulate you. (its long but not thant hard, just split it : anti | constitution | nelle | ment and you can pronounce the first 2 parts with a completely English accent)

[@gwendalynpeterson5739]

[@nickblooruk]

Speaking is very complex mechanically as well as acoustically. We listen and detect certain sounds, rhythms etc while dismissing others. So sounds in one language would be dismissed, but would be essential in another language (H sound in English for example is often dropped by Europeans). To make these sounds, we work certain mouth muscles, tongue position, and many other factors. Each language would require different muscles etc, making it nearly impossible to pronounce certain foreign words unless we learn to shape our mouths etc accordingly. And even if you do, we need to train our ears to hear the required sounds that are important to that language. It can be very very difficult. Bravo to all these bilingual participants trying to say difficult English words while in Paris, to someone who doesn't appear to be able to speak any French.

[@johannesziaether3916]

Well not really new. In french school you always learn two stranger languages, English being the first most of the time and participants are all young so they should still a relatively fresh memory. But yeah ig it's always hard to Europeans to pronounce and spell in other languages using the same alphabet that they're used to use from when they were kids, since they are the same letters but with different pronunciations.
