French Teacher Reacts to Dimash SOS 🇫🇷 PRONUNCIATION ANALYSIS

[@JustFrenchIt]

If you haven't watched the entire video, here's a recap: Dimash made a few mistakes (very few), but he also sometimes sounds like a native French speaker, which for someone who doesn't speak French is incredible. His cover is epic, and almost flawless. This video is intended for French Learners. If you are learning French, watch the entire video, as I'm giving you tips on how to pronounce French. Salut!

[@Jane.S600]

Thank you👍

[@64qi22]

Thank you I actually enjoy a French teachers perspective on Sos I have friends that said they couldn’t understand the pronunciation as well he would probably enjoy watching he loves improving his music as much as he can 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jrogersdal]

Actually a later performance of this song (Slavic Bazaar performance) improves his French, dropping the ending s on vis and meurs. However one time I got into a heated discussion with some French-speaking people and their main issue seemed to be with his pronunciation of haut, which a lot of the lines of lyrics end with, and thus sustained with the vowels. You didn't appear to have any issue with haut, so I'm wondering if those people were actually French.

[@JustFrenchIt]

They could also be French speakers from another part of the world - the French I speak is metropolitan French (from France), more specifically northern metropolitan French. The sound O does differ quite a bit from one French to the other 🙂

[@AdmiringBlue]

I've been a long time Dimash follower but this fandom is slowly getting out of hand. Here's a french teacher reacting to Dimash singing a french song, of course his french is going to be up for debate. Ever since the KPop stans made their way to Dimash content, we have this almost surreal envoirement where you are not allowed to critique a single thing he does. Even Dimash himself would never claim to speak french on a native speaker level, yet his stans pretend he does. If you would have watched the whole video without shutting it down after 1 minute because you couldn't handle the fact that a french native speaker DARED to imply Dimash did some mistakes, you would have realized that this women is actually giving him PRAISE. She literally says that he sounds like a native speaker on numerous occasions. Excuse my language but I'm slowly getting sick and tired of this behaviour. And now listen to me, Dimash is amazing, quite possibly the best singer of our time, but this man is not some puppet you can dress up the way you want. This guy is dignity incarnate, he expresses music on a artistic level, yet here we are calling ourselves "dears" like we are 10 year olds. If this man is truly your idol, then behave accordingly to what he is showing you. If you find yourself at a place where you think seeing Dimash wearing bunny ears would be a good thing, I'd beg you to rethink your choices. Once again, THIS WOMEN IS PRAISING HIM, stop acting like a child throwing tantrums and watch the whole video first. Sorry, had to get it off my chest.

[@Jane.S600]

I completely agree.

[@donny1960]

Sorry, But you CAN"T ask people to stop throwing "tantrums" by throwing one yourself. It comes across like "Do as I say............". Also "getting tired" of other peoples behavior has been the "past time" of the Human Race for Eon's. Get over it!!!!! You are making a "Judgement" on the people commenting in a way that you disagree with. Those same commentators are making a "Judgement" on this Teacher. Your "right" to get upset does not "supersede" their "right" to get upset. See how this all works?

[@AdmiringBlue]

@@donny1960 You're sadly missing a point bud, I'm not disagreeing with their comments, because they are pointless to begin with. When people come in here and leave after watching 1 minute of the video claiming that she is bashing Dimash, they are just plain wrong. There's no opinion to make, that statement in itself is just flat out wrong. Claming the teacher bashes Dimash can't work. since it is something that never happened. Disliking this video because of an assumption that you never cared to verify is the type of toxic behaviour "dears" sadly use on a daily basis. In that sense my "right" to get upset does indeed stand above theirs, since theirs is based on nothing but their own twisted reality. They are essentially lying, disliking this lady's video and making her life miserable for no reason other than being absolute morons. Your argument would make sense if they'd make a valid point, but they don't. Have a good one.

[@donny1960]

@@AdmiringBlue Please tell me where you received your power to know, without any doubt, exactly how people are reacting AND feeling about a situation. To claim that everyone who does not see your point of view is "JUST PLAIN WRONG" shows an immaturity that.............. (wait for it) "Is just plain wrong". But thank you for the "Buzz Words". "Just plain wrong", "Just plain wrong",............. These will come in handy when dealing with other "children" in the future.

[@AdmiringBlue]

@@donny1960 Are you somehow challenged? Where I know it from? Common sense. Look at the countless comments proving my point aswell as the like / dislike ratio. All this women did was to react to his french, so for what reason - if not for her doing what she did - are people disliking the video? What does the talk about buzz words even contribute? People dislike because they think she critiques his french, if you watch the video entirely you realize that she does quite the opposite. So what other thing can you say about the dislikes except for them being plain wrong? I can go further if you want, the people that dislikes this video are nothing but malicious literal filth. Anything that doesn't even remotely fit their agenda gets downvoted to oblivion, since they are too lazy to even seek to verify whether their point is even legit to begin with. Because they are little ignorant twats. That's the problem with KPop stans. They are inherently children and if I were to go to any Kpop video now and claim that Dimash sing better than any of those "idols", I'd still find countless idiots trying to prove me wrong. Go back to watching BTS.

[@Coco-1]

A lot of French people think his pronunciation is terrible and totally wrong. I really don’t care about it, the song is beautiful and he performs great, i am happy to know it, thanks to Dimash. Even though my favorites songs of him, are his Kazakh songs . My native language is Spanish so I don’t understand a single word. ☺️ thanks for this video.

[@wbrenne]

I would have recommended his rendition of the same song at Slavic Bazaar somewhat later, or even this year on the day of Joe Biden's inauguration. His pronounciation is much better. If you like, you can compare it.

[@gdouglas999]

Nice analysis, thanks! Dimash fans from every part of the world have been banding together to make Dimash the #1 most requested artist on MTV's youtube channel Friday Livestream for 9 of the past 10 weeks. That program resumes on Friday, June 4 (5-8 pm New York time, calculate your time zone differences) and we need to show up in large numbers in order to protect Dimash's position at the top. Simply type REQUEST DIMASH as many times as possible in the chat during the three hour program. The artist who gets the most requests gets two music videos played while others get just one or none. Dimash says he has dreamed of being as well regarded in the western world as he is in the East. This is an opportunity for us to help him realize that dream and allows us to give back to him for all he has given to us.

[@cindymccaffrey3174]

Dimash had sung this song many times before this competition and didn't pronounce the 's' in vis, etc. He learns foreign-language lyrics phonetically and later commented that he made these mistakes because he was so nervous. It was the first time The Singer competition show allowed a foreigner from outside China to compete and invited Dimash to participate in just 2 episodes as they thought he wouldn't make it any further by being voted off by the audience. (That didn't happen; he lasted through the whole season and came in second.) With SOS, Dimash ended up being the 1st person to perform on the 1st episode. He was in a foreign land at the age of 22, didn't speak their language, and was the youngest contestant out of the native professional and popular singers ever to perform on the show. I understand that your analysis is driven by language pronunciation, but as with most Dimash fans, I've watched every interview and video available on Dimash. We know he didn't make the most glaring mistakes you noted either before or after this particular performance. I know you don't expect most foreigners to speak perfect French and your analysis was great for someone learning the language. It's just tough to hear about our dear Dimash who makes the effort to learn songs in 12 different languages to please his fans. Not many vocalists do that, and we love him for it. All the best. :-)

[@FawziaTung]

Merci, Marie! Dimash performed this song many times before and after this one, and he always pronounced “vis” and “ris” correctly. Why did he then mispronounce them here? As an amateur singer, I have found that when I’m particularly nervous about a performance (quand j’ai le trac), my conscious mind totally freezes and only old memories surface. So for Dimash, this performance being his first one in China, and since it was vital for him to score well in the first two episodes in order not to be eliminated, he was quite nervous. I assume that is why old mistakes he might have made when he first learned the song resurfaced here. Toward the end of the song, he became more confident, and you might have noticed that he pronounced the last “vis” correctly. Then, we see him leak out a tiny smile when he realized he had totally mesmerized the audience.

[@JustFrenchIt]

Ah yes! You can feel he grows more confident as the song progresses.

👉 This is the song of the songs for Dimash and us, his Dears. (This is what Dimash calls us fans.) This song comes from the famous Canadian-French rock opera 'Starmania' 1978, well known in French-speaking countries) and is one of the most difficult songs to sing and made Dimash a mega-star overnight. In 2017 Dimash received a wild-card for the competition “The Singer” in China. He was the youngest participant of all time (22 years) and the first non-Chinese. Only professional, award-winning singers take part. Nobody knew or hear Dimash before and he also had to start first... and after this song Dimash captured the hearts of millions of viewers overnight. The next day, bodyguards stood at his door. The competition consisted of 14 rounds, over 4 months. The jury consists of 500 spectators. With up to 1 billion people see this tv-program, that's generated international interest. The performances were uploaded to KZbin... and so, we became Dimash’s Dears. The Chinese organizers planned that Dimash would survive two episodes of the competition and go home again. They didn't really believe in him. But Dimash came, sang and stayed... for the next 3 years in China... but he only finished second in the competition because he's not Chinese (conditions have changed: The next year, Jessie J. won).🌼🇩🇪 👉 In January 2021 Dimash was one of the few foreigners who has been asked to attend the live online show marking the inauguration of the President of U.S.A. Joe Biden. He is here as a representative of his country Kazakhstan and he is also here for his Dears from all over the world. He performed: S.O.S. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXaQapmHiausl9U and Samaltau - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX3Vd6ZmjLernbs 🌼🇩🇪

[@SuperAlain123]

Dimash ne parle pas le français. En fait, ces paroles, il les a apprises phonétiquement. Il faut aussi tenir compte du contexte de cette compétition où il est le plus jeune professionnel participant en plus d'être le seul étranger (ne provenant pas de Chine) et cette soirée-là, il était le tout premier à présenter sa chanson ou casser la glace de la saison. Il était donc nerveux ce qui favorise évidemment des erreurs de prononciation et de mémoire. De manière plus pointue, il y a aussi certaines voyelles que les chanteurs modifient pour mieux atteindre une note et/ou faire en sorte que ça sonne mieux. Malgré ce qu'on peut en dire d'un point de vue un peu puriste, il s'est tout de même classé au premier rang lors de cette première soirée de concours. Depuis cette présentation, il a nettement amélioré sa prononciation tout en conservant son petit accent étranger que la majorité adore et pour lequel il est reconnu. Merci. A.P. Québec, Canada

[@cynthiabruce-marzenska5024]

@@JustFrenchIt Canadian French is ambiguous. There are many regional differences: the Maritimes have a dialect called Acadian (much older dialect), Québec is also regionalized with La ville de Québec having possibly the “purest” pronunciation, Montréal has possibly a more international feel to it: Gatineau has a very distinct accent called “Joyale” and is almost incomprehensible: Ontario has Franco-ontariens and is closer to Montréal. Problem becomes that outside of Québec, all the French teachers are basically speaking original French. Either Parisian or Belgium. I had a French teacher in high school from Belgium who criticized one of my best friend’s French because her parents were Parisian. As an Anglo who speaks French, I speak less of a dialect and closer to Franco-ontarienne. The western parts of Canada barely ever become bilingual because French is less used in the West. The most obvious anomaly noted was the “vise/rise” vs “vis/ris”. The last word “do” always bugs me just a bit because it sounds more like “du” to me, but I forgive it because of the vocal prowess. Honestly, the Acadian is more like the patois that moved to New Orléans.

@@JustFrenchIt worthy of more investigation I’m sure. The French language laws in Québec don’t allow the language to be altered at all, so in Canada, there are a lot of literal translations such as “chien chaud” instead of “hot dog”, not sure what is being used internationally for “computer”, but in Canada, we’re only allowed to use “ordinateur” (exception being Franco-ontariens who’ll use a complex “Frenglish” to simplify speech to the quickest form.)

There are other versions in which he pronounced a little better. I no longer know which of Dimash's version of the song "SOS ..." is the one I like the most, but I love them all. Definitely Dimash the golden voice of the Planet Earth will always own this song composed maybe 15 or 20 years before he was born.

[@sml0266]

Thank you for this. I love to learn and this was very informative. As a native English speaker, I hear some mistakes in his early English version songs but it doesn't mean I don't think he's amazing. His English has definitely improved by leaps and bounds over the years. I just goes to show how hard he works to keep perfecting his art.

It must be very difficult to sing in 12 languages !!! It is the first time that I have observed that he made a mistake in pronunciation. Apparently people are more excited about the interpretation than the pronunciation like a native French!

Ahha yes, it is indeed an epic performance and his pronunciation is nearly flawless ! And I might not show much expression 🤖 but of course I’m impressed with the interpretation

[@adamscott9413]

why is dimash getting better each time he performs SOS ? It is because he has been corrected, tutored and nurtured, it is the only way forward and dimash is always keen to embrace any help to improve his linguistic capabilities

[@lauraalkhaz2163]

I am a native English speaker but I can make errors in speech still and what is comical is my Russian husband will correct my English which leads to me telling him to say anything with TH or W which of course he can't correctly do. It is quiet entertaining. If I were an instructor I would notice the small mistakes but it is ok, because we know that Dimash sings in many languages and when he sings in English I am just honored that he is trying although there are mistakes still. Better than not trying at all.

Speakers of the languages he sings in? Believe me, when he sings Michael Jackson, say, in terrible English, he sounds like he doesn't understand what he is saying, and that kills the performance. For a singer who puts so much emphasis on sincerity, getting details like pronounciation right is really important - which he knows. It's about respect for the composition and the listener.

[@shrekswife2164]

@@Ozymandi_as ppl who keep harping on about his weak english that "kills the performance" don't speak for the many of us who don't give a ratsass whether he's singing abc correctly. English is functional at best, so what if he doesn't get it right, show me an an English speaking singer singing in Kazak, Russian, or Chinese as well as he can and I'll rethink my position. Why can't ppl like u stop whinging and see the good in the art? Seriously, D works hard to make his English speaking fans happy with his art and he gets sadass whiners who troll his videos!! Go watch English speaking artists if your tolerance level is pathetic or if you're not a fan, why even be here. Unless you're one of those deranged fans who claim to love Dimash in the same post, then trash his integrity. Those are the worst kind. So if you have nothing good to say about an artist, just go away.

[@MaryA-qj8tx]

@@Ozymandi_as I understand that correct pronunciation equals sincerity and respect from your perspective. I get that. And as far as singing MJ's songs, same, they do sound hard to understand. But by the same token, I don't understand the words that Ariana Grande is singing in her songs, or Toni Braxton in Another Sad Love Song (which I love), and they are singing in their own language. But because we know that they speak English, they are given the benefit of the doubt that they are stylistically choosing to mispronounce. MJ's songs are faster, making it doubly difficult to sing and pronounce. Also, I don't understand all the words either. Sometimes I have to play guessing games to figure out what English singers are singing in English. Nevermind the metal singers whose words I really can't make out. Does this mean that they are insincere or disrespectful? I think of the song Never Enough and how the original singer says, "for me" with the E in ME sounding like "mehy" rather than me (like "mi" in do re mi). At least Dimash has a reason to mispronounce. And the fact that he still sings it well, and states the words somewhat "good' as this teacher states, should teach us some empathy for the effort and hours of work that goes into singing with sincere emotions and with integrity to the intent of the song.

[@turtlemama888]

Thank you for this, Marie. I was very interested in your analysis because as a native English speaker (American) I have noticed Dimash's English pronunciation from this era (as of my comments, 6 years sgo) needs a lot work. Before anyone yrashes me for that comment, let me explain. I'm 63 years old, I have sung in school and community choirs since I was 8, I have never sung professionally. Anyone with choral experience knows we sing a wide range of languages. In college I was fluent in German, I had one year of college French. I have sung in English, medieval English (don't remember if Old English or Middle English) German, French, Spanish,, Portuguese, medieval Portuguese, Latin (classical, ecclesiastical, medieval latin from France, Italy, Germany and England--all have their own variations), Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, a couple of African languages, a no doubt a few languages I can't recall. Choral scores come with pronunciation guides. We are expected to learn correct pronunciation to the best of our abilities. We also have translations so we understand what we are singing. Pronunciation is not always straightforward:. as a soprano, when singing in my upper range, I am often told to distort certain vowel pronunciations so that they SOUND correct to the audience. With that background, my reaction to Dimash's videos from 6 years ago are that as he becomes internationally known, he needs better vocal coaches in the myriad languages he sings in. From his more recent videos he has had that. Musicians are usually good at learning foreign language pronunciation because their musicality gives them greater ability to hear linguistic nuances. Any pronunciation issues Dimash has in languages he did not grow up with, will be coaching issues. As his international audience expands, his ability to access better coaching will do so as well.

[@anthonytay523]

As a non french speaker, I care not if his pronunciation is perfect, what I care is his MUSICALITY. And dimash delivered it.

Heyyy Marie! I really enjoyed this video, thanks for your analysis! I can't be bothered to go through the comments, I'm sure it's a mixed bag haha, but just wanted to add a few comments of my own! Of course the likelihood of Dimash nailing this song perfectly was not likely, I agree with you that the performance was indeed "epic" :) I found it really interesting to hear your explanations on the "mistakes" and is really helpful for one who is looking to improve their French speaking or indeed singing! To those thinking that Marie was criticising Dimash I would strongly disagree and her following comments throughout the video confirm this was not the case: "Pronunciation is good" "if I was listening to this without knowing where he came from, I don't think I would know this person does not speak French" "He's epic" Marie is clearly loving this performance! "Pronunciation is perfect!" "I can't hear an accent" Just a few of my thoughts, thanks for sharing as always :)

[@corimara2431]

Très surprise par cette vidéo, je ne m'attendais vraiment pas à voir le français de Dimash passé à la loupe. Cette vidéo date de 2017, aujourd'hui, il prononce parfaitement les paroles. Sachant que la moitié des français ne maîtrisent pas leur propre langue qui est très difficile, je trouve un peu déplacé que l'on critique la prononciation d'une personne qui chante une chanson française sans même savoir parler le français. Moi, je lui dirai plutôt bravo, mais bon, apparemment c'est ton boulot, que je ne connaissais pas d'ailleurs. Dimash s'approprie les chansons qu'il interprète, il ne copie jamais, il les adapte à son monde musical et vocal, d'où les passages épiques n'existant pas dans la version originale. A noter que cette chanson a spécialement été écrite pour Daniel Balavoine qui avait une tessiture de 2 octaves et demi, alors que Dimash en a 6, ce qui lui laisse une grande marge pour l'interpréter à sa façon. Il chante dans 12 langues, dont en chinois qui est pire que le français et il est devenu une star là bas. Et il n'en parle que 3, et 2 à l'époque de ce concours (kazakh, russe et anglais). Donc rien de méchant si quelques mots sont à l'occasion mal prononcés, surtout que ce ne sont pas tant les paroles qui importent le plus, (la plupart du temps, on ne les comprend pas suivant la langue) mais c'est sa voix et sa musique qui transportent les gens. Pour la petite histoire, après avoir chanté cette chanson, il y a eu plus de 600 millions de vues et il a été propulsé star internationale en très peu de temps. Dimash n'est pas français, j'attends donc de sa part qu'il ait un accent kazakh et quelques petites erreurs de prononciations charmantes. On voit que tu es bienveillante, qu'il n'y a aucune méchanceté dans ton analyse, mais j'avoue qu'en tant que française, je la trouve gênante.

Very good analysis / reaction and commentary on his French language abilities. At a very young age his music teacher and parents realized he has Absolute pitch, often called perfect pitch. Absolute pitch is a rare ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone.

Perfect pitch seems to be an advantage when it comes to languages too. I’d be curious to see some studies about this !

Ils ne veulent pas faire de mal, ils sont juste très dévoués 🙏🏻😅. La voix de Dimash est dans une ligue à part. Il est extrêmement polyvalent. En dehors de S.O.S., cependant, Dimash ne chante qu'une seule autre chanson en français, de sorte que le matériel pour l'analyse linguistique est probablement assez limité.

I've listened to Dimash sing this song in numerous concerts and performances and to tell you the truth, I think his overall pronunciation hasn't really improved that much. Yes, he dropped the "s" on those two words but that's about all he's done. With some words, the pronunciation is actually worse. But that matters little to me. He sings it with a grace that is extraordinary.
