As a french, I never realized how complicated it actually was to learn french for foreigners, you really have to learn a lot of pronunciation by heart... (not even talking about the way to write it, there're weird things) and there's different pronunciations from a place to another (in each region like in every country I guess)... I wish you good luck to learn it

[@rockpaperscissors82]

As a native English-speaker who has studied Spanish, French, and German -- in that order -- I always tell people that French is by far the hardest to learn at the beginning, because of the very strange pronunciations and spellings. Even at the intermediate level, it can still be a challenge, but it's especially at the beginning that most people are very overwhelmed. Spanish is a breeze by comparison.

[@lillalaurakis1514]

[@lololala9601]

here's an advice from a person who's fluent in French: don't get confused between *pronunciation* and *accents* . in every language, you have to learn how to *pronounce* words correctly because a *certain* or *specific* mistake in the pronunciation of a word can lead to a misunderstanding of the word itself. however, *accents* are a totally different thing. you might pronounce a word correctly but it won't sound the same as when a native French person or someone who speaks french very well says it. and that's *totally fine* because it's your accent. of course, you can always improve your accent by speaking more and listening to how French people speak. anyways, good luck to all people learning French!

[@Christian-tj2jo]

@@meeekstubbular Spanish grammar is pretty consistent too, especially compared to English and French, there's some stuff that's a pain in the ass for English speakers but the pronunciation is very consistent and there are very few sounds in Spanish that English speakers can't already make (namely the trilled or rolled "r" in Spanish). Spanish doesn't have the mess of the "je, tu, il, elle, on," conjugations for group one verbs all being pronounced the exact same, so we can normally drop the pronoun in Spanish, ("yo, tú, él, ella, nosotros" for the most part have unique conjugations and you normally know who somebody is talking about based on the conjugation,) so it's more efficient.

[@meeekstubbular]

@@Christian-tj2jo Hi Christian, I'm not sure where to find what I wrote to prompt your very good reply . I guess it must have been about the verbs almost as difficult as French "conjugaison" if not more! But I remember learning at school and like French verbs you have to be on your toes all the time to get some mode correctly. I have stopped to learn Spanish with Duo Lingo but continue to have fun with the "discussions" I kind of signed with. The same with French which is my native language anyway but found interesting to see what it would be like to "learn" again! Oh I just found my post above this. Yes I was puzzle by someone thinking that learning French was good because it made him appreciate Spanish! I can't talk to much about the grammar but certainly did not have the trouble we have in French with the rule of past participle I think it's call (La bête noire des Français) when it comes to find out if the adjective carries the plural number and feminine gender of the subjects) I don't think Spanish has anything like this!

[@feufolleth]

As a French person, let me tell you something : you don't have to pronounce EVERY sound well. There are some like the "r" that are important because if you can't pronounce it, it can be very problematic to say some words but if you say a French word with an "u" pronounced as in English people will understand and just find it cute ! Of course, if you want to speak French really well then you have to able to pronounce those sounds but what I mean is that when you're beginning to learn this language, don't focus on the pronunciation. At first only learn the important sounds and the others will naturally come with time (:

[@Origynet]

Actually one of the biggest hardship in french pronounciation compared to english is that there are close to no diphthongs in french. All of our vowel sounds are short and straight which is unnatural for english speakers. Mispronouncing the "r" in french is actually less a problem than saying the french vowel sounds when you're a native english speaker who aims to be understood in french. Good luck in your learning of french !

@Michael Evans I'm pretty sure saying "grand rond point" is the hardest thing ever for an English person 😂 The "an", "on" and "in" sounds with the addition of two "r" 🙄 It must be as hard to pronounce as the word "throughout" for French people 😅

Due to this coronavirus quarantine I decided to learn French idk why, it sounds beautiful. I find it easy since my mother language is Spanish lol.

[@sethlatimer3392]

Ai Lin I had the same idea. Learning French is a lot harder for me, however, considering the Australian accent is just a drunken version of the English accent

[@jennyhwang6275]

Wow, I just learned so efficiently by hearing the French sounds! Great video and trips, especially the tips for how to pronunciation -- I found especially helpful with the "ee" in see but rounded lips for the 'y' vowel, which I'm having the most difficulty with. Props on getting Mailys' profile view too for extra take on pronunciation! it lit

[@ahmedbaig7279]

Take a simple approach. Make a valid difference between deux and deuz. Start learning from grade V and try to pass that exam as French student. The video is extremely helpful.

[@dpat4175]

I know right.

[@liviemillie6455]

My native language is English, but I'm also learning Japanese, which definitely helps (oddly enough) with the pronunciation of some sounds, like "u". The Japanese "u" is different, but more like the French "u" than any sound in English is.

[@benoitcransac2178]

Excellent travail. Pas d'accord cependant sur le [ r ] de "gare" ou "port" qui ne doit pas forcement etre "vibré" ni si haut là où la gorge se resserre pour le produire. Un [ r ] par consequent peut etre un peu trop parisien. UPV Montpellier à la rescousse?

I don't know, French "R" does not that difficult to me. Certainly not as difficult to that hard trilling Spanish/Italian "r". The weird vowels like "eu", "oe" are a lot more difficult.

[@paulortiz8063]

When living in paris, but trying to learn french a 'friend' if mine said "dont ever speak french to me!!!" I guess it was just too much for his delicate ears. Not that his english was so great, but lets just say i found his remark mean, hurtful, and just plain rude. So i found it much better to be friendless than to put up with his silly attitude/bs.

[@mrs.manrique7411]

"ø" was the most difficult for me to pronounce because the tongue must be in the same position as pronouncing an abrupt "ay" sound, yet the lips must be rounded. This is definitely one way to exercise the orator muscle. The same goes for "y," although for some reason, though the position of the tongue and lips doesn't make sense in my head, I'm able to pronounce it similarly to Maily's pronunciation on the first try. I'll keep at it so that my brain doesn't freeze up on me any time I pronounce it. ;)

[@erick64bosck3]

In northern France, vowels are aspirated, such as "Mssieur" for "Sir" or "p'tit" for "small", "ach'ter" for "to buy", or "ch'val" for "horse "or "j'tai dit de v'nir" for "I told you to come", etc.... It is a Germanic pronunciation.

[@CalypsoPunk]

This is why I took Spanish, French is too hard. I’m trying to learn French because my last name is French and I love France but it’s so hard! 😂😂

[@musicologoellibro3404]

With spanish you can understand portugués Italiano and a litle of french. Is powerful.

[@typingcat]

The opposite also seems true. I only learnt a little bit of French so far, but even with that basic knowledge, sometimes I could understand some part of Spanish or Portuguese comments on KZbin, when I have never learnt those two languages.

as a portuguese speaker its easier to understand spanish and specially italiano, but french only if you read it because its so hard to hear from their pronunciation

We don't pronounce some letters ending the words. So how can we know the differences between a lot of words?

99% of the time you will only pronounce the letters C R F and L at the ends of words. You can remember this as they are the consonants of the word CaReFuL

Question to French speakers: There are many points when the short vowel sounds (short as in duration) are ended with a kind of aspiration (it's a breathy ending), but once she is stretching the vowel sound, or using it in a word that's gone. Is this a personal thing, a true part of the language, or just a byproduct of cutting it short in a non-natural way (as in a way that isn't usually done when speaking).

[@elizabethwalker3002]

For example at 10:40 ish, she says the 'i' sound and it sounds like 'ich'.

[@АнастасияПетрова-к6я]

I can’t get the difference between “u” and “o” sound...

[@theSkin_of_a_Killer_Bella]

From my point, the "u" is more like saying "oof" without the "f". Now the "o". If u pronounce a normal "o" or English "o"(owe). Then u may or may not realize that when u do, it has a "w" as the ending sound. So when u pronounce the French vowel, u lessen the "w" sound to barely their or none at all ig. It almost sounds like a quick "oh", or I should say "oh" and it gets cut off at the end before u can fully pronounce the word.

[@tonyhawk94]

I'm French and here's what you can keep in mind to learn and understand the language : - French is basicaly (at its origin) Latin pronounced with Germanic sounding. the sound 'eu', 'u', 'r' are exactly like in German, so if you can think of a German sounds just consider it's the same in French (with a completely different grammar and vocab).

French: all vowel sounds with an occasional throat clearing sound in between. The worst part about French isn't even that, it is that the written language bears no resemblance to what is spoken and they refuse to make the two coincide.

Making the French R is actually easy to me since I can't pronounce the normal R correctly,and bc one of the dialect in my language have the same French R althou it is spelled as "gh" and also the French U is also easy to me since I'm learning Vietnamese and they also have the same exact U but spelled as "ư"

[@ericsmith1801]

It's important to learn sounds in French because the majority of French words have silent endings! In order for the other person to be able to guess what you are saying the remaining sounds in your sentence have to be pronounced correctly...otherwise you could be using unintended words :)
