Ok but when the French speak English they absolutely don’t nail it 😂

Hi I am Japanese though it is possible to know how to make a difference between soft sounds and strong r sounds? Because I tend to pronounce it too strong or no sounds

Im Japanese though it’s really easy. But I tend to say Bonjouroooo….. No just joking it’s just a stereotype😂😂😂 many people are like this but I’m really rare

You fools , it’s pronounced: arrondissement 😬

I'm a native French speaker from Canada and we do our r's by touching our tongue at the back of our front teeth and trilling. In France, it typically comes from the back of the throat, but in Canada, back of the front teeth.

But you pronounced “Lyon” wrong 😂

Exaggerated.

I am here to understand the difference on how to use the mouth in either English or French, so this is my observation: To speak French the mouth is never as open as in English, am I right?

How do you make the end sound? (R)

AMAZING!!!! I have watched so many videos on the french R and this is the first time it has sounded like an actual french R! Thanks for the fantastic tips and explaining so clearly!!!

I find it almost impossible to prounce the ch sound while doing this

Im trying to practice this, and I find when I pronounce a few of the sounds: The ci for example, it sounds more like a lisp and i cant get the sound out: Is that because my tounge is positioned wrong or just because I'm not used to this? Thanks for the tutorial

This help me so much!! I'm Thai and I learn French throught Swedish

As an native English speaker that's learned and spoke ample Spanish, the difference with pronouncing French words seems to be a curt or verbal shortening of the word; not including the last letter/syllable of the words. Other than that having Spanish in one's background has been very useful cause most the other romance languages have similar vocabulary and pronunciations to Spanish.

This is amazing and very helpful! Thank you !

Mouth position picture is very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Fabulous video and great tips! Thank you for your incredibly helpful guidance!

This is sooooo helpful thank you

I want to take French Classes with you. Is there any way where I can connect with you?

as soon as I changed my tongue position like you suggested, I immediately saw the difference! Thank youu

I am really first learning one day at french language and your video help me how to improve my mouth position. Honestly, It's really hard for me. To pronounce & speak French Language.

Very useful. Thank you. I'm a native English speaker who has spent the last 25 years speaking mostly Russian. I speak English much more rarely. For the last 10 years or so I've been spending quite a bit of time in France. Just recently the whole mouth position thing "clicked" for me after I decided to spend two days making myself think only in French. Seems I "think" mostly non-verbally anyway, so I decided thoughts, if they were internally verbalized, would have to come only in French words. I supported this exercise by watching French films and listening to radio. At the end of that time I spoke out loud in French and miracle of miracles...I found I used a different mouth position than I had been using before!! (I would have described the feeling as "having a comparitively shallow mouth" in French.) First thing I did was look for "French mouth positon" on TH-cam and I found your videos, and learned why my mouth felt shallow! It was the tongue thing - I was keeping the tip down. I'm going to keep listening to your videos, because you are explaining and making conscious for me the very tricks that seem to have kicked in out of nowhere from my little French isolation exercise.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

Anglo Canadian saying they were taught Parisian French HAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHA

Thank you so much 😍😍😍

I just wanted to thank you for the tip about keeping the tip of your tongue on the bottom teeth. It helps SO much with muscle memory, thank you!!

Awesome. This was helpful and makes the accent much more doable. Thank you!

Very useful, I had tried to find video with explanation how to prononuce t letter, all of them don't eleborate tongue's tip position. But it's very important to produce correct sound t. Thank you. You made my evening.

Beginner learner here. This video is so helpful! Merci!!! :)

This is very good advice, can I ask your opinion on what the mouth position is for english? What would you tell a french speaker learning english ?

wow this is SO helpful! I was literally reading something in French and had a feeling keeping my tongue forward would make it easier and this video not only confirmed but made it easier!

Thank you, your video helps so much.

Merciiiii

I cannot pronounce it

It helps so much to know the position of the tongue and mouth. Takes practice for sure. Thank you

as a native french speaker I confirm that this technique made this man speak like a true baguette fromage eater, but really it was even quite shoking

Very helpful

Thanks a lot. I speak Spanish and I came to know the importance of mouth position for sounding much more like a native English speaker just some months ago, and now I found this same topic for French. I can see that it is the same mouth position I use in Spanish, if I am not mistaken, which makes me feel quite happy! :) I'd love to speak a good quality French at some time. Have a nice time teacher!

This is so helpful. I felt ridiculous trying to say it authentically on my trip so now I need to go back, having watched this!

Thanks. I find that very helpful

It is so helpful to see you pronounce it! I am a lip reader.

Thank you so much!!! This is really good. I can hear a big difference already! I love your story about saying good morning to Valérie. I'm glad I'm not alone in these struggles! I have a hangup with saying "bonjour" which is not helpful since that's probably the word you have say most often!!!!!

Very helpful!

Helpful. I definitely need to work on my french u sound. Thanks

Really that's what I looking forward , you help me so much in improving My French accent , I am grateful for your help.

thank you so much!!

In English language, it is phonology subject, isn't it ?

Confused here! Please tell me: the tongue is hitting the LOWER teeth for facilité???

It is hard to find resources on French pronunciation of this quality. Thank you David. I’m so glad I found this channel! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

That's how I finally (sort of) mastered the French R. Thinking of it as an English H
