French People Try to Pronounce Difficult English Words

I make French people pronounce difficult English words! It's simple, the rule is they have to be 100% French to participate. Then, I show them a series of hard English words and they have to attempt to say them out-loud. Thats it!

As a native English speaker I can agree that English spelling makes absolutely no sense. Who thought it was a good idea to put a “c” that sounds like an “s” in city?

[@elizabethwall8063]

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.”

As japanese, i get very nervous when i speak English because because the structure and pronunciation of English is completely different from that of Japanese. but i learned that nobody can speak their second language perfectly thanks to this video!

[@CharlesNauck]

Just remember, in most native English-speaking cultures, it is considered extremely rude and ignorant to judge someone for making mistakes in English. I've traveled a lot, and I really didn't like about 30% of French people I met in France as they would judge you harshly for not speaking French and extremely harshly for mispronouncing French. That being said, there were tons of kind/smart/friendly French people, many kinder/friendlier than most groups I have met. They just have a significantly large asshole population.

When someone was shy to try 'successful' it was a good strategy to have a few others to try to not put them on the spot. I think the facilitator can try and be more encouraging to those who have given it a try on camera, not only when they succeed. You can tell when certain ppl are discouraged, so I would love to see them more reassured :), esp since they are already being brave ❤ But yea I think he didn't want to give away the answer.

6:25. Many native english speakers do not pronounce "Th" either, it's entirely lacking in so many dialects of English. Irish English (famous for saying "Tirty Tree!" for 33), London English, Thames English, Indian English. It's effectively a feature now in many accents and dialects to pronounce "Th" as either T, D, F or V depending on context. For context, i'm from Kent, a part of england that is regarded as one of the more "posh" counties, and yet most people along the Northern coastline pronounce 3 as "free" and the as "ve".

Someone: shows a French man a word with too much 'R' Frenchman: *breaks*

[@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")

[@80sGamerLady]

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

[@michaelweiske702]

@@80sGamerLady 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.

[@wollybumbol214]

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

[@michaelweiske702]

@@wollybumbol214 I, as an american, must disagree with you. I can see the mirror-meer connection, but we do not pronounce terrorist as tourist. We know terror has two syllables, and no one pronounces tour as tear (as in a page).

[@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.

As an TEFL instructor... "Choir" is insane! I have to underline the first part of "quiet" and then tell them it's the same pronunciation. And also, while I studied French in Jr, High, and College. I cannot for the life of me understand how they can get syllables, with double consonants, mixed up. I swear they have similar rules.
