Oui, banane par exemple
Corné L 6:44
😂😂😂😂
La journaliste elle s'est moquée de lui, j'étais dans le même état ! 😂😂😂
Can someone explain why is it funny? I dont speak french
@@muhamadkenzo7433 Because the woman want an example of a word with an "r" and the man said "banane" which means "banana" in english. That's why we are laughing
I understood a word I'll never forget, la gorge.
SaiwanTV thank you!😊
Fond de la gorge!
Ill never see george the same way. Tho its not gorge but it lil similiar with it
I know it's kind of an old video but if someone is seeing this and struggle with it : If you listen closely, not every French native speaker have the same "R" pronunciation. We all have a different one that just works. Don't be shy in finding your own, use the back of your throat and that'll be awesome. (Just smooch it and act natural you'll see noone will even bulge and notice that much ;))
I have noticed this!!!! Mine is sooo airy, and I hear some ppl in this video that barely let out air while they're pronouncing it and get discouraged, but I did think I heard some airy ones. So I may be doing it okay :)
@@MegaJellyNellyDon't worry, the airy sound tend to disappear with time. It's pretty common in the beginning be it with thoses who learn or childs alike. Mine doesn't make any air and is very subtle but sometimes i kinda wish i had a strong one haha.
Hope it helped =)
The guy at 2:27 is living proof that not all heroes wear capes
That guy is a pure legend...
I don't get it? Why?
Haha
He was like : "rrrr" ? More like "ehhh"
@@namenotfound3613 That's how you're supposed to pronounce it
the way I learned it, hold a pencil between your teeth (longways, _not_ so it's pointed down your throat) as far back as you can hold it. The pencil keeps your tongue in the right position. Then try to growl like a tiger. Like this you can approximate the action of making the sound. Next step is to remember the feeling of doing it and practice the sound without a pencil in your mouth. Then keep practicing forever.
sethraptor omg the forever killed me😂😂
@@user-zn6un3xz7c i mean,, acquiring a language and its correct pronunciation takes a lifetime of learning. but just do it daily, like gargling (i can't gargle for my life i don't know why), growling, just trying to pronounce it. i personally pretty much mastered the French 'r' in one hour so i don't get why people struggle. just know it comes from your throat and not you tongue or teeth
@@thepriceofsalt9003 you can't gargle ? even with water ?
5:38 how can you even make that sound?!?! 😂😂😂
Try it ;)
Yeah 😂😂
I can do that with a lot of saliva in my mouth . But when my mouth is dry it is just a h. I can do it in another way tho , it's Deep thought errr
It's easy for us(French)😂🤗
xD
I agree with 1:35. I swear two weeks ago, a young Parisian guy I met here in the US told me my French 'R' pronunciation is perfect.No one had told me that before . I was actually asking him 'Tu viens de quelle part de France' trying to use my normal , non French accent while practicing what I remembered. I felt good that my secondary school French was useful.
Simple words like "orange" become a word of love when you pronounce it in French. I love it.
Hahaha, vraiment?
@@EasyFrench Look at the lady at 4:37. Maybe for a native speaker, it is normal but for a foreigner like me, it sounds like something sexy. I would like to listen to all the items in a cheese menu from a french woman in a romantic atmosphere.
@@muratdurmaz4241 hahahaha !
6:30 best explanation
Judith always attracts the comedians on the streets. The "jouer à touche-pipi" answer was also her as the interviewer in the "Compare French and German" episode.
What i sound like trying to pronounce any word in French 4:57
hahaha that was really funny XD
HAHAHAAHAH i can't stop laughing 😂

She is really beautiful.
My jaw dropped at 2:15
GORGEous

Merciiii :) A bientôt!
yeah that's why I leave a like to the video, even though I'm french
0:55 i love the new Spanish Trilled R now 😂
That girl with the microphone is soooo cuuuuuteee
I pronounce my French and Portuguese "R" as the "J" in Castilian Spanish. It works!
Not quite but it’s more than close enough
spanish J is way rougher than french R, no?
@@jd5747 y
Quand t’es français mais que tu lis quand même les sous-titres c’est chaud quoi ...
h robert je le fais toujours automatiquement 😂🤷♂️
Haha, comme ça on les aura pas ajoutés pour rien :)
Thanks U for your lovely helpful in France class 🙏❤
this video is very helpful, thank you! just a tip, if the subtitles are in complete sentences, it'll be easier to follow! right now, some sentences are cut off midway in one sub to continue in another, which needs a lot of rewinding.
I just use the Quebec French “r” which sounds trilled like in Spanish or Italian. Much easier on the throat without wanting to vomit or spit out a hair ball.
Jason P. It’s true that some québécois roll their r, but I’d say it’s a minority, I only know one old lady that rolls her r. Most of the québécois use the metropolitan French r
Don't try and copy quebec french accent. Ask Paul Taylor
@@lilyop701 haha oui!!
does quebec french say "r" like spanish? cuz that R is from rolling tongue not throat, quite different :0
@@musiea yep, from rolling the tongue like in Spanish or Italian, but like another poster said, it’s apparently dying out among the younger French speakers of Quebec.
I still hear plenty of the trilled R during my visits to Quebec, before the pandemic of course, but then again, I don’t live there to really get a detailed observation of its decline.
Thank you for making this video. This is something I struggle with as someone learning the language
Thanks for the r video. I was searching for it.
De rien et à bientôt ! :)
Résumé de la vidéo:
"Comment on prononce la lettre R ?
_Bah R"
Très bon résumé en effet :) A bientôt
La R normale, standard quoi
6:43 Yeah, I am gonna use banane as the French word with R to practice.
Awesome!!! Merci beaucoup pour le video!!!
Hey on dit ( *la vidéo*)😉
5:38-5:41 - i feel like i could dedicate a recueil of poems to these 3 seconds, love.
J'avais de la chance, parce que je parle déjà l'allemand, dont le son "R" est presque le même en principe, mais cela demande des efforts quand même. J'ai regardé de nombreuses vidéos (souvent à demi-vitesse) pour analyser la pronunciation (non seulement pour le "r" mais en général aussi) et après, je m'enregistrais moi-même pour me comparer avec l'original. Mais j'ai encore un peu mon accent. :))
Waouw! Merci pour le partage d'expériences et de conseils, en espérant qu'il aide d'autres personnes, ici !
A bientôt :)
En quoi le R allemand est-il différent de celui français ?
@@Zdrange03 en allemand le "R" est beaucoup plus éffacé. Il est moins sonore et peut être comparé à un "H" aspiré de l'anglais parfois.
Claro, claro, la tuya es la r normal xd
Jajaja, pensamos todos que tenemos la pronunciacion "normal" ...
@tolo olivares Paris =/= toute la France...
@@judithbenzadon4808 Prefiero la R española suena alegre..que la R francesa que suena come une gorge malade...
yo estoy aprendiendo francés y les juro que la maestra siempre me dice que mi pronunciación de la letra R no es nada como en francés, como si se pudiera cambiar mi pronunciación en un ratito
Francisco Fuentes aprendo español y no puedo con R😂😂😂
This episode is low key hilarious
Enfin, le vrai sens d'humour français ! Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo.
Merci à vous :)
OMG How French "R" can pronounce like Spanish? They are from different planets😂😂😂
I’m hoping English isn’t your first language lol
Brendan Morin shut up
Right. I speak Spanish and English and their sounds are not the same.
@@gemagonzalez9570 it is a Little same for me (I am french)
There are several different pronunciations of R depending mostly on where it appears in the word.
Note that nobody is pronouncing it in every word ("gorge" for example) the eay they're telling us to.
Oui, banane par example! Mdrrrrrrrrr 😂
How to pronounce R in others country :

Rian Saputra in English it’s like ah, I’m not hearing the aye
R in France = R
2:05 mais qu'il est beau !
Le Parisien typique. Nos rues regorgent de bombes. Amen.
Thanks, this video is very helpful to listen to different Rs and teach myself how to pronounce it correctly. What I can hear is the French people are pronouncing the sound very differently - some pronounce is from more of the lower parts of the throat, while some go a bit higher. Confusing a bit, not sure whom to copy. I like the girl's with huge earrings version of R
as someone with a thick dublin accent, changing the entire way my tongue moves is so hard to do haha
Of the 6 languages I've studied, the french R is by far the WORST phoneme of all. I F*ING HATE IT!!!!
Hahaha
What other langages have you already learnt?
I hate Chinese r
I can easily pronounce French r
I know Spanish and English and I’m learning French but tbh the French r is easy. I mean I may not be the best at it, I’d have to ask French people to see, but it’s not hard honestly.
Also the american R
The swedish "sju" (mix with H and R) is very hard for me.
Cute! Thanks!
J'aime pratiquer comme ça:
bra bre bri bro bru
cra cre cri cro cru
dra dre dri dro dru
fra fre fri fro fru
etc.
C'est peut-être un bon exercice!
Merci pour la video! Hug du Brésil.
2:35 “un chat qui grogne”😂😂
0:51 inception blasting sequence was shot there
Merci bien pour l'épisode. Je dois dire que le r en Belgique est beaucoup plus fort que le r en France. C'est vrai qu'l n'y pas un seul r en français, car le son du r diffère selon la région de France.
I honestly don’t know how I “acquired” the French “r” sound. I just... did. When I was starting out in French, it just was never an issue. I blame imitating French accented characters when I was a kid.
As for my favorite “r” pronunciation, I quite like the “r” of Belgian French. It often sounds softer than Metro French “r,” almost like gargling after brushing your teeth. You can hear it in famous Belgian singers Jacques Brel and Stromae; they both have a distinct way of pronouncing the “r.” I don’t know how Swiss “r” is different though, or Luxembourgeois “r,” though I have heard Louisianan French and Ivorian French, and both tend to roll the “r” like in Spanish.
They roll their Rs like Spanish in some parts of Quebec (and other francophone parts of Canada) and in Lebanon too.
Actually the r in belgium is stronger but the singer you're talking about kinda roll it
Actually, those places that trill the r like Spanish preserve the original French r! The uvular or guttural r of modern French is a new development. The trilled and tapped r’s are the most universally and one of the oldest realizations of the r consonant. The more you know.
rational est une exemple parfaite pour s'entrainer
très cool!!!
l'un des meilleurs épisodes
HAHAHA J'AI AIMÉ CETTE VIDEO LÀ BEAUCOUP 😂😂❤️❤️
Merci beaucoup !
Great idea and lesson! Merci
That advice regarding"banane" is awesome. I eat it almost daily. So I don't expect any problems with the R.
Génial merci ! Je suis prof et je vais sûrement l'utiliser :-)
On doit reconnaître qu'ils sont très sympa les parisiens hein ! Cet à été très gentil de sa part de nous aider ! Merci !
Il faut savoir les apprivoiser mais c'est vrai qu'ils étaient de bonne humeur, ce jour là :)
@@judithbenzadon4808 c'est vrai, il faut savoir les apprivoiser...mais après on peut être sûr, qu'ils seront nos amis toute la vie ... Bon journée !
The French R is kind of like ‘Huh’ with a bit of an r for for example Paris (peh-huhr-ee) or après (ap-huhr-eh) just say it fast.
It’S like Airplair -> Air -> R
I like the lady that said the perfect pronouncitation is the least important and having an accent adds charm. My husband who is French says to me all the time that the French probably understand better anyways when you just pronounce the R with your accent. The french R is hard for me. It is so different from the American R, but I keep practicibg it all the same.
Le français est ma langue maternelle. J'ai remarqué que, dans les épisodes de Easy French, les gens interrogés prononcent un ''r'' plus marqué que moi. Bravo pour vos séries qui sont super bien faites et me donnent l'occasion d'entendre les expressions en vogue actuellement en France. En outre, j'apprends le japonais. Pourquoi n'y a-t-il plus d'épisodes Easy japanese? Merci!
Est-ce qu'il y a des occasions où le est omis? Par exemple quand quelqu'un dis le mot > j'entends quelquefois
0:41 OMG 😍
Yes, she and Judith are pretty.
I have France lesson in my class and thats so hard and complicated,btw i'm from Indonesia
Don' t give up, it takes practice :)
Le monsieur qui a dit banane en réponse à un mot avec R, je l'ai trouvé hilarant et m'a fait rouler par terre. Merci from Brooklyn, New York
"R normal" haha D'où ça vient ? ben, de ma gorge, personnellement" hahaha 1:44
I love the guy at 3:40❤
*"I do that every morning"*
je pense que semble an peu le R du Alleman. Mais "Les horaires sont très stricts dans cette entreprise." "Il y a du vent, du tonnerre, des éclairs : c'est un orage."
Raréfier, garer, revendre, rembarrer, râler, restaurer, rire, rouer, ramer, ramasser, rendre, rosser
What do you advice foreigners that are learning French?
Bon chance it's not an easy language.
😂😂 Love it.
😅
Cringe
Hi Can you please tell me the English term for the French pronunciation of the letter R ?
Un site à me conseiller pour des correspondants anglais svp ?
I'm not sure about the R, but the guy at minute 2.07 is cuuuuuuute!
The twins lol, they cute.
French is so beautiful
BANANE MDRRRRRR
j'aime bien cet épisode là, trop marrant ! vraiment vous m'avez fait rire beaucoup !
Et c'était le but ! :D
Merci pour votre commentaire
I just clicked because of the guy on the tumbnail tbh
Hahaha, apparently, you're not the only one..
Same. They knew what they were doing when they picked him for the thumbnail lol
wow..😍😃😍😃merci becoupe
They all have a wetness to it, I don’t have enough saliva back there to create the same gurgle. Mine’s (it seems) in the right place but it feels dry
Moi, je l'ai appris en chantant "Non, je ne regrette rien
" d'Edith Piaf
Edith Piaf roule bien ses RRRRR en effet :D A bientôt !
Rodolfo Mejuto ça marche pas elle roule les R elle le fait trop fort
Voilà, je suis arrivée à la même conclusion de manière indépendante
Mais c'est pas un question d'imiter à Edith Piaf... C'est d'essayer de prononcer tout simplement le mot "regrette" qui est bien difficile à prononcer pour un débutant... Et en plus le morceau "Nooo rien de rien, je ne regrette pas de rien..." Te prepare pour pratiquer un mot facile et un mot difficile avec des "r"
"Banane"....il m'a tué! Le troll est monstrueux! 🤣🤣😂
Does the putting « a pencil in your mouth » method actually work?
I like R like it sounds in song "rien de rien...
good video but btw where is anthony? I haven't seen him in recent videos
He leaved the channel, now he has his own channel called French with Antony.
Bienvenue sur notre nouvelle chaîne pour connaître notre nouvelle équipe composée de Soykan, Judith, Hélène et Rita :) A bientôt
to learn the r sound, make the sound as you have a peanut lock in your throat. Clear your throat, and after make the same sound but more sweet and you will find how pronounce.
Sorry for my english I hope it's clear and that help someone. ^^
literally got sore throat trying to do the french r 😭 gonna take some lozenges 😭😭
Watching this at 0.75 speed really helped me try to understand what was said 🤣
The way that p*tain guy spoke..... Man, that was fast! Usain Bolt fast!
Which one?
2:09
Edit : is not quite accurate. Try 2:10
Did he even say putain
He doesn't articulate much, he probably just woke up
Lol wrong time mark. 2:10
Very similar to the German one.
Au nord-est du Brésil, au nord, dans certaines villes de l'état de Minas Gerais, Goiás et Rio de Janeiro, on parle R au milieu d'une voyelle et d'une consonne comme le français, comme c'était à l'origine au XIXe siècle lorsque Les Portugais, qui étaient les colonisateurs du Brésil, trouvaient chic d'imiter l'accent français, car la langue française était la langue mondiale, et je suis né dans le nord-est du Brésil, j'ai donc cet héritage linguistique. Ex : Le mot « Porta » en portugais on parle de la même manière que le français R. La plupart des États du Brésil possèdent ce R d'origine française.
mentira 😂. Isso é uma exceção que se aplica somente a quem tem uma boa dicção mesmo no Rio de Janeiro. Que é o unico lugar que ocupa esse som ( χ fricativa surda) que aliás não tem nada a ver com o R francês, há essa pronúncia de χ, mas a R central é uma aproximante da antiga (ʀ).
2:37 je vois double
Hahaha, ils se ressemblent VRAIMENT beaucoup, effectivement !
j'adore judith
Тренировать звук ,,r ,, в слове ,,банан ,, - это круто !!!
Марина Белянская kaak?
Ouais.. Mdr.. Да.. Этот мужик с хорошим чувством юмора.. Вообще весёлое видео.. Ответы Парижан были очень прикольные..
А если серьёзно, русскоговорящим нужно менять произношение полностью, в русском р такое же как в испанском, то есть противоположное французскому..
это требует постоянной практики..
C'est trop facile pour moi ! Part du portugais parlé au Brésil viens de ce "r" français, comme p. ex. Rio de Janeiro, ma ville, le nordest brésilen... Cela diffère du portugais européen e d'autres pays on parle ma langue. Merci por le vidéo. C'est très amusant.
Não sabes do que falas, em portugal também se pronuncia o R dessa forma.
@@joaoteixeira7410 TAMBÈM" não significa a maioria que nós aqui no Brasil temos como referência.
E acho muito pouco provável ou possível que a influência de 70% na fala de território brasileiro tenha sido trazida por essa "exceção" de seu país durante três séculos de colonização europeia.
Merci à vous! A bientôt :)
At 5:28 "grutière" exist in french (it mean a female who drive a crane/ grue in french) ^^
Not from the throat, it's from the back of your "soft palette" (the squishy part in your mouth). If your tongue isn't naturally pressed against it, look up "mewing".
Personnellement, je suggère à mes étudiants, ici en Australie, de relaxer leur langue (de la laisser faire une séance de yoga) bien à plat au pied des dents inférieures et de ne se concentrer que sur la production d'un son venant du fond de la gorge. Un défit pour tout vrai débutant anglophone dont la langue est placée au palais pour produire le son "R" . Ils découvrent que leurs muscles vocaux doivent être entraînés pour maîtriser ce son "R" à la française. Avec les enfants, nous jouons aux lions, tigres et plein de virelangues amusants! Bravo pour les vidéos...mes étudiants en raffolent come compléments d'apprentissage à la maison! Merci!
Une video supergéniale. . Mdrrrrr..
🐯😂 merci!
Merci à vous et à bientôt sur notre chaîne pour plus de vidéos :)
la langue origine compte beaucoup , j'avais vu beaucoup des gens qui ont le R a son langue maternel mais il parlent le Français avec le R comme l'Anglais
Could u yourself plz teach the technique that works plz
Most r sounds in other languages require you to move your tongue. In English, the tongue curls with the tip of the tongue pointing towards the palate. With the alveolar trill, the r touches the palate. This occurs in most languages, for example spanish and italian.
The french r is quite different. There is a common misconception that the 'r' comes from the throat. This is wrong. Also, people who get a sore throat while practicing this are pronouncing the 'r' way too harsh. The 'r' is a type of fricative. A fricative is a letter that is pronounced when air is pushed through a closed space. There are quite a few a fricatives. For example, the 'F' - fffffff, the 'Z' - zzzzzz, the 'th' as in thank you.
Fun fact: You'll notice that F and V, and S and Z are the same letters. The difference is that F and S are voiceless meaning that they are pronounced by whispering. V and Z are voiced fricatives, meaning you need to make a sound to pronounce them. Try making a 'ssss' sound, and then make a 'zzzzz' sound. These fricatives, I believe are pronounced at the front of the mouth.
The french 'r' is a UVULAR fricative. The uvula is that little punching bag at the back of the throat. What happens is that the back of the tongue rises towards the soft palate, where the uvula is, and air is passing through that closed space between the back of the tongue and the uvula. That's where the fricative happens. The 'r' sound is supposed to be one of the weakest consonants im the french language, and I know how that sounds. The most common r sounds you will hear are the uvular fricative and the uvular trill. I think the uvulae trill is the uvula vibrating against the tongue, so basically gargling. The uvular trill is the harsh one that you hear in the french language, especially after a consonant. For example - 'S'entrainer'.
How do you make this sound. Simple. Unlike other r's from other languages, you do not move anything in your mouth. The mouth is static. The tip of your tongue is behind the lower teeth, so basically the tongue is in its resting place. Go to a mirror, attempt to make an 'r' sound from the middle of your mouth like in English. The back of the tongue will rise up naturally and the 'r' sound should come out. If this explanation did not work out for you, here is another one. The french 'r' sounds like air in English.
The tongue moves when you say the English 'r'. Look at the beginning of my comment. Say 'r' but this time, keep your tongue in its resting place, and don't move it at all.
I hope this helps. I'm sorry it was long, the above information might be useless to you, but the more you know.
I practise it as spitting out the phlegm 😂 .Anyway, thank you for a useful lesson 👍❤️
