PRONOUNCING FRENCH RED WINES w/ a French Native Speaker

[@timotheelegrincheux2204]

I prefer it when you are alone in the video. Go solo. Your voice is calm, sweet and soothing. You could be talking about trash collection or plumbing and it would be a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for the pronunciation explanations.

Sancerre is a bone dry (never sweet, or off dry) white wine produced from sauvignon blanc grapes. And yes, there is also red Sancerre made from pinot noir!

[@Street_French]

ah yeah I think I mistaken it for a sweet Sauterne, my bad

[@primozvilfan2361]

@@Street_French Sauternes is made of mostly semillon, and some sauvignon blanc ...

[@jicklesjingles8134]

In addition: both names stand for regions or cities. Sancerre is an appelation next to the Loire while Sauternes is in the south of the Bordeaux area. And the other commentor is right, both red and Rosé are made from Pinot Noir (Sancerre).

A trick I use for the nasal sounds and to know if I’m making them is to put my thumb and index fingers of my right hand, one finger on each side, and say the word, and when I feel the bone in my nose vibrate when I say a word, I know I’m making the nasal sound. 😃💋💋💋

[@Street_French]

ah yeah great tip! :)

It’s wonderful video Merci

[@jajavalsuyanan7468]

[@jonathanconnor8190]

I think these videos are great. I think I understand written French better than I can speak and hear it. Like a lot of native English speakers I find mimicking and understanding the nasal sounds quite difficult!

[@Street_French]

ah if you have a hard time understanding French when it's spoken it means you need to practice listening to a lot of French :) podcasts, movies, youtube videos, instagram stories etc... it'll help you ^^

[@peterw427]

You're really good. I am sorry you didn't get to 'Cahors'!

[@donaldmiller1782]

I was looking for you to pronounce Cahors. I ask for it (saying it the French way, like kah-or) in stores here in Dallas, and get blank looks from the winesellers. Then I spell it for them and they know what I'm looking for. But now they are calling it Malbec, and they all understand that. I've visited the city of Cahors for the last 30 years. Love that area.

[@Raidersfan-gn7zo]

Georges Debeouf Boujolais is my favourite red wine. Chablis for white.

[@williamgeorgefraser]

Many years ago when I had a summer job in Waverley Station in Edinburgh, there was a guy who used to ask for bottles of "Chablis" as "Chables" "like "tables".

[@Street_French]

haha interesting^^

[@tommerlahat1327]

I like how you pronounce the word France in your English as the word tense, Maia. A Brittish person pronounces it like dance/chance/lance/glance/prance/freelance/advance.

Bonjours! When you say Pommard , it is unlike the sound "pomme", pourquoi non?

[@RnR-Rebel]

Hiya, another fun video... I only drink red wine 🍷😉! (Very good champagne also as my husband only drinks Dom Perignon not that I mind!) Yes in the US they say “mur-lo”, I get yelled at for politely saying it correctly🙁. I 💚languages, pick up easily, recall is hard unless I’m in a foreign country. Food & wine, always get! (Love to cook, helps.) Btw, I “collect” French idioms (any foreign idioms & swearing🤣, auteurs/ écrivains sont bizarres avec des mots!). Would you consider a video on that subject? They’re so interesting! Thanks again! Have a lovely week! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️🦇🦇🦇 PS the silent letter rule reminds me of silly thing I came up with in the 70s. Poor “Q” doesn’t get used often in English so added it randomly. The same with “Z” (was taught British spelling as a child, still use). So qthaznk zyouq qforz zthqe rezmindqerq🤣! (Encore une fois, auteurs/ éscrivains😉!)

Does Marseille have the typical southern French accent you spoke of in other Videos? Or do they have a distinct accent? Marseille is an interesting place with a storied history as I understand it. Also Keep up the GREAT videos! Au revoir a bientot!

ah yeah they have a specific southern accent. because there's different types of accents in the south of France ^^

[@annavictoriafugoso9562]

Awesome!

[@Street_French]

:)

[@LloydSkyLion]

French person: In the south they pronounce this COMPLETELY different. *proceeds to pronounce the word with a slightly more open vowel*

[@Street_French]

haha yeah to us it sounds way different ^^

[@LloydSkyLion]

@@Street_French I know. I'm just teasing. I'm a Spanish native so it's just funny to me because those sounds are allophones in Spanish so I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference normally. But once you get used to the sounds they do sound different.

[@smoker_joe]

The French "r" sound is not so easy because there isn't 1 but 3. rouge / trouve / amour 3 different pronunciations depending on whether the "r" is at the beginning, at the end or after a consonant or a vowel (Even French people ignore it) So the "r" of "Bordeaux" is different of "Brouilly". Just to make it harder ^^

[@Street_French]

ah yeah^^

[@reneewang2678]

I totally agree. I am a bit lost without knowing the context.

[@jennifermartin492]

I am bilingual (raised speaking both Spanish and English at home) and the nasal sounds are easy for me to pronounce but I have a tendency when I am not paying attention to pronounce some things like like le and un as if they are Spanish -especially when reading

ah interesting :)

Very interesting video - pour moi - J’aime bien mon vin. Mais j’habite en Californie et je bois du vin de Californie. En la France, je voudrais boire du vin de Bordeaux.

[@dianephilipson7565]

Your pronunciation is very clear and helpful. Be careful of the pronunciation (and spelling) of the word itself - check it in a dictionary. I can't show it in phonetic symbols here, but the second syllable of this noun rhymes with 'bun'. The verb is 'to pronounce', where the second syllable is the same as the unit of weight, 'ounce'. This is a very common mistake here in Australia where l live (made by native -born Australians).
