I think what messes English speakers up is there are so many words in English borrowed from French and mispronounced. It's like we have to unlearn English pronunciation while we learn French. This video was defintely a workout for me.

[@Street_French]

Oh good I'm glad you found it helpful ;)

[@oliveranderson7264]

I mean why should English speakers be expected to pronounce every single word correctly anyway ? An approximation is more than enough.

[@Street_French]

No not at all, it's just for people who want to improve their pronunciation :) thanks for watching!

[@oliveranderson7264]

StreetFrench.org Ne vous inquiétez pas mon commentaire était adressé à ceux en général qui se sentent supérieurs par leur prononciation des mots étrangers :)

[@brianstupasky3745]

there is also a heavy Germanic influence as well the two languages have very different sounds, marrying all of the sounds to play together is what makes English one of the hardest languages to learn. I noticed as well that some of the sounds that French language makes, sounds like speech impediment in English.

[@hagraggen5904]

The problem is if I went around pronouncing these things correctly where I live nobody would know what I meant

[@Street_French]

[@sanobermalhotra6307]

Absolutely.

[@lost99sheep]

That is si true

[@ziacorum2772]

Yes! My mom is American but the French say she has a perfect accent. She says I have a great accent, but even my French teacher doesn’t understand me. 😅

[@sakitoby1581]

It's a bit of a balance, I'd say. It depends how commonly appropriated the word has become. I don't leave off the S in Paris when I say it in America. But if I'm in France or speaking to a francophile, of course I would not pronounce the S at the end of Paris and would pronounce the entire word a bit differently. In America it's basically "PERRIS." In France it's basically "PAH-RI". It helps to be able to switch back and forth to avoid seeming pretentious. But really, no one should be shamed for speaking WELL! That's just wrong. I wish everyone would just communicate as best they can, in a respectful and friendly way. We'd all be happier that way and could have fun conversations...

[@marinazagrai1623]

Forget it, unless you live there, (at least Parisians) don’t take well to hearing incorrect pronouncing…they are just like that. This came from someone I knew yrs ago. She was a college student where I went.

[@karendixon401]

I've never taken French but one clue someone told me is that they don't like saying the last part of a word with strong letter sounds.. it is uncouth sounding to them.. what we Americans don't like about some speech in our country.. those who add a twang sound to their words and combining words like.. "all of you" please listen.. shortened to "Y'all" hear.. Not intelligent sounding.

I haven’t taken French since 1977 in high school. I was in French II and our class went to London, Paris, Normandy and other places in France. I was 15 and in 10th grade, a sophomore in high school. I do wish I kept going. I love the French culture, country, food, and yes, these desserts!! I have WONDERFUL memories of our trip. One of my oldest friends (the friendship is old not the two of us! 😉) was with me on that trip. She was a grade ahead of me. We still talk about that trip and the beauty of France.

[@amethystdawn]

I work at a bakery in the USA and we sell macarons and everyone who comes it pronounces it "macaroon" (like the coconut treat) and people have even gone as far as to correct me when I say it correctly. It drives me insane I wish I could show them this video! !

[@Oxazepam65]

0:56 In Québec, we pronounce "un" and "raisin" differently. For some reason, in France both sounds merged into the same one over time. The same way they pronounce "patte" (leg) the same as "pâte" (pasta). In Québec, there is also a clear difference in pronounciation. In France, you can't tell the difference and you have to guess from the context of the sentence.

[@scruffyo4460]

for someone who speaks filipino, english, and spanish, french pronounciation is really hard.. it's so hard to produce the sounds, not only the letter r but also the vowels that are nasal.. i really wanna learn french and at 31 i hope it's not too late..

subukan mo muna spanish.. mas madali.. ang dami cognates at kuha na natin agad ang pronounciation.. 1 year ko lang pinag-aralan ang spanish.. at halos lahat ng mga spanish youtubers naiitindihan ko, maliban lang kung sobrang bilis, dahil ang bilis magsalita ng mga spanish speakers.. sa pagsasalita naman mabagal lang ako pero kaya ko na makipag communicate.. trust me ang dali lang ng spanish.. after spanish, siguro pwede na french.. stepping stone, tutal marami ka madadalang grammar rules ng spanish papuntang french dahil pareho naman silang romance languages.. suggestion ko lang iyon.. ikaw pa rin, kung gusto mo agad french, wala problema.. sayang lang ang opportunity to learn a third language immediately.. kung nag 1 year ako sa spanish, feeling ko sa french matatagalan ako.. ang hirap ng pronounciation nila.. pero ang dami ko agad nagets na grammar sa french dahil sa spanish..

[@monnpelagio]

La paz Mundial oh yes yes very gracious of you to give a suggestion. I mean, it's not that I'm against learning Spanish but like gusto ko munang i-try yung French?? I know na madaming cognates ang Filipino and Spanish due to hiram and colonisation but ang dami rin kasing cognates ng French and English- Norman Conquest, and globalisation I mean. And pagkatapos ng French, baka Italian and then Spanish. There's just so many options and it's nice to know that you have all of these. After some time parang namamaster ko na rin yung gluturral (?) 'r' sound sa French pero yes learning languages is so good and satisfying haha

[@мирвовсеммире-ы1и]

sinabi mo.. it's very fulfilling especially when you start to see the results.. imagine i only used to visit english and filipino channels but now another world has opened itself to me because i have learned their language.. good luck sa pag-aaral ng languages.. it's so fun to be a language enthusiast..

Of course we will sound foreign. The exchange student probably spoke English with an accent, but I’ll bet you understood them. Ça ne faire rien! It does not matter unless you are trying to pass yourself off as a native speaker. My sister did the « EU test » in French and her level is « college-educated native speaker ». She needs this level of proficiency for her work. I, on the other hand, can only get around town, shop, and make small talk in French. I still love the language.

[@ladysavannah8365]

I managed to fool a French person into thinking I was Belgian - still a native speaker just a different accent. It's doable! Plus, what does it matter if you sound foreign? At least you can make yourself understood!

Oh dear! Now you've given me pastry cravings. Just have to plan a trip to France, that's all! Meanwhile, a snippet of feedback on your English. A LOT of English speakers say "pronounciation", but it isn't, it's pronunciation, just a u in the middle. If I had to guess where you're from, I would have guessed Saint-Germain-des-Prés, but I'm probably wildly wrong ...

[@Street_French]

Ah cool :) Thanks for watching!

[@c.t5136]

Thank you! Great pace and clarity.

Chouquettes are best described as cream puffs without the pastry cream. Hungarians give their friends little cheese biscuits known as Pogacsa when sending their friends off. When it comes to food people from other countries may eat certain things at breakfast. For instance, the Asians in general eats rice for breakfast which is not common in Europe. Hence there is no right or wrong, It all depends on the culture and preference of individuals. I prefer to eat sweets before the main course and cereals and milk at dinner which many find shocking. Almost everything in European sweets are made chiefly from dairy products but in Southeast Asia the desserts are made with coconut milk. French is somewhat confusing to many because there are letters which are not pronounced such as letters h, s, and t. It will be wonderful to include brief pronunciation guide before saying the names of the French sweets especially the different accents such as the e with the backward and forward slashes on top of the letter; the c with the hook at the bottom the inverted v on top of certain vowels and the double ll. Also the pronunciation differences between in and an. However, the English language is similar to French with letters in words that are silent such as GreenWich, saLmon, Hosanna, fasTen and etc. The letter w, l, t, and h are silent. Many non native English speakers frequently mispronounced these words.

Nice description :)
