Since you are helping us with french pronunciation I’d like to return a favor and give a little tip to you about english pronunciation. I’ve noticed you pronounced the letter H in the word “hour” on 10:40 minute. It’s actually silent. There are a few words like “honor”, “honest”, “hour” etc. which contain silent H as a first letter. Hope this comment doesn’t insult you and thank you for your videos :)

[@katyw.6526]

So very helpful!!! 👏🏻 I’ve really been struggling with these. Thank you so much! Since you’re helping us out, I also wanted to help you out on something. It is regarding the English pronunciation of the word nasal. In English, most of the time (although not always), in a word when only ONE consonant follows a vowel AND that one consonant followed by another vowel, the first vowel remains a long vowel. (There are usually TWO or more consonants between vowels for the first vowel to become a short vowel.) When you pronounce the word “nasal,” that first “a” is long vowel, not short. So the word is pronounced: “ˈneɪ.zəl” (Not: “ˈnæz.əl”) Hope that helps. 😊

This is the Parisian dialect though. In South of France, in Quebec, Belgium, Switzerland, French speaking Africa, "In" and "un" are distinct. "in" is the nasalization of the French "i" and "un" is the nasalization of the French "e". Sometimes, like in Quebec, "in" is made with a very stretched mouth towards the sides (it's close to the US "ain't"). "Un" is closed like a "o" and the lips are pushed forward, basically like we say "e".

[@LearnFrenchwithLexie]

I teach French form France. In France, most people only use 3 nasal vowels. Only in the south west of France, they still use the 4 nasals. As I prefer to simplify learning, French is difficult enough, I chose to only teach three nasal vowels. I was thinking of making a video on the fourth nasal vowel though, would it be something you're interested in?

Depending! In France, IN and UN are pronounced exactly the same in one half of the country (north), and have different pronunciation in the other half (south). Even in the south of France, not everyone makes the difference between the two sounds. It's in the south west of France (Toulouse and the surrounding area that) you'll hear the differences the most. I've chosen to teach just three nasal vowels, because that's enough to make yourself understood in France. The language and pronunciation are difficult enough, so I try to make them as simple as possible!
