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!
thanks I need it
Thanks I was so confused..for the pronunciation!!
thank you for the encauragement, how long do you think an average person learning french from the web can take approximately to Master french ? :)
@@dearmysoul6706 well french is actually a hard language to learn especially by yourself. it might a few years ( 2 - 3 - 4) to be kinda fluent. If you want to master the language, I recommend taking classes because it’s tough.
@@dearmysoul6706 well french is honestly a hard language to master. (especially by yourself). if you want to be kinda be able to speak French normally on a daily basis I would say 3 - 4 years. (then again if you want to be good at writing too I would add a year because french grammar is HARD). if you want to be completely fluent and master the language itself I recommend taking classes because honestly, it’s pretty tough to learn by yourself.
I can't even imagine a french tongue twister. Hell no.

Every single french student is asking himself "why i'm not english "
Because you wouldn't be able to learn English then. And this is far more troublesome.
Well yes, you can learn English as a French native speaker but statistically speaking, it is very likely for you to be unable to do so.

Ive been doing Duolingo for 53 days and I'm learning a lot but I'm getting worried because I'm not really that good at pronouncing the words. I hope eventually I can sound/pronounce french better.
The different sounds for the letter u is the most different
I've been studying learning French online and found a fantastic website at Magic Language Method (google it if you're interested)
it comes from the throat, it's feels like a vibration around the adam's apple
To all the people watching this video, i'm very glad that you're studying my language, and i wish you the best. There'll be a lot of hardships but same goes with every languages, Courage !!
Merci!!
thank you very much :)))
Hi your from French
Bonne chance à tous !
it ain't that hard
I'm French, just here to read the comments and laugh
French is so hard to learn, courage you brave people
😂
I don't find difficulty in french. Only thing is my lack of practice. and I am not fluent by the way..
Thankuuuuuuuuuuu, the deeepest voice of my heart🙃🙃
Hi, the word c’est. am I correct in saying this has multiple uses such as this is, that is and it is? What else does it mean? I’m confused as to why it doesn’t just mean one thing. Thanks
Well based on my calculation, it will take me around 100 years to master French language if i am lucky enough since my age now is 38
uh oh. I'm in my sixties and just starting...😮
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
Well said Suz
As long as it doesn’t have pronunciation exceptions. I hope it doesn’t
The pronounciation sounds like magic words that scare me to hell. I'm dead already before starting,,,
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.
French is my first foreign language and a recognized something in your comment-----> "you have to learn a lot of pronunciation by heart " par cœr dans le français n'est-ce pas ? 😏😏😏😜
I broke into a hysteric laughter when she said "...the remaining 9 vowels..."
I did that too 😂😂😂 especially after not being able to hear different between ø and Ə
@@nerdymiumiu The difference is pretty audible...
The title is a lieXD
The lesson doesn’t fit into 12min at allXD
@@nerdymiumiu That's because she pronounces the ø wrong, especially at the end.
I think its ridiculous to learn pronunciation with this. I m french and we have learn pronunciation at school to. Nobody understand that and we forget that. Best way for learn a language is to hear people. And its not so important if u doesnt pronounce exactly like a native. Important is to understand and be understable. Grammary, rules , pronunciation letter... best way for lose the motivation and surrender the learning.
Its like learn all the compound of a plane before just fly...
1:39 peculiar sounds
2:38 avoid common mistakes
6:29 vowels
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 !
Canadian French still has diphthongs.
I'm Korean and im trying to understand BOTH English and French... gosh English is WAY easier than French...

Learning French is why I love Spanish so much. Once you learn how to pronounce their words, you can basically learn their entire language by reading as every word is pronounced as written.
strange way to put it "learning french is why you love spanish"??? But I think I know what you mean as I loved Spanish in school, as much as I hated English. Yes Spanish pronunciation is very consistent, but the grammar is just as complicated not like in English. I gather you want to learn French so best of luck with that.
Yes, but French is so much more beautiful than Spanish OR any other language in the world, andI've studied both to fluency.
tishtosh well its subjective. For me french is an ok language but i fell in love with japanese. That was even before i knew what an anime was. For me japanese is the most beautiful language in the world
@@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.
@@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!
Literally i understood nothing going back to sleep
😂😂😂
Me too

Lol same
I'm a Brazilian trying to learn French 🙏 I was used to English grammar, without many verb conjugations and all. But now, with French, I had to break out of my comfort zone. It's quite similar to Portuguese (my mother language) because of the conjugations. This makes me think about how hard is Portuguese for foreigners to learn. But I think I'm doing good with my French (except for the pronunciation part 😂)
I'm from Uruguay and I was thinking the exact same thing! although I don't l ow if it happened to you too but I'm finding I quite difficult to pronounce the French r because of how we roll our r's in spanish
Portuguese is also a veryyyy difficult langauge too
I really admire the english speakers who wants to learn french. Grammaire has no sense, orthographe doesn't make any sense. I remenber criying when I was a kid because I hated grammar so much!! Good look to all of you.
pariocean chicago In every languages, grammar and spelling are just rules that have to be learned and observed, some of them sounds logical and some others not. The real problem we have in French is the huge amount of exceptions that follow every single rule.
Merci ^^ I'll try my hardest
pariocean chicago moi j'adore la grammaire et l'orthographe c'est ce que je trouve le plus facile en français !!! 😄
English orthographe though
I really admire anyone who would ever want to speak English. It is ridiculous with the homonyms & homophones, homographs... I mean really blue, bleu, blew ... they sound the same but with different meanings. I speak fluent English and I still think to myself why, why would anyone EVER want to learn this language?
I’m so grateful to be Italian.I can pronounce every word just as it’s written
Hey there
Same as Spanish.
I'm jealous of you ☹💔
agrees in Brazilian Portuguese
Same for us Albanians
I am French and I’m just bored so I’m just watching videos to learn French I’m sending u all my prayers even as a French person I still make mistakes all the time🤠
as a turkish native speaker, i can do the 'u' sound perfectly because in turkish we have 'ü' letter and it has the same pronunciation :D
Can you teach me how to speak Turkish? I'm really interested in learning Turkish.
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 (:
Thanks for your comment. Really helped (more than this video.) Bein unable to learn even sounds is very frustrating. Hope it really comes naturally w time....
Yikes the r is the one I’m going to have the hardest time with I’m afraid. And also all the vowels sound the same to me 😬
I find the French are quite critical of pronunciation. If you say plat du jour slightly incorrectly, that’s it.
I've noticed that over pronouncing is the enemy in French and that you rarely pronouce r, s, or t if they are near the end of the word
this really helps, especially with motivation, thank you! I really appreciate it. Merci
why am i watching this at 3 am.. i ALREADY speak french
Good for you :)
It is awesome or can I say amazing
maybe not good enough

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
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.

I’m French and through this video I’ve learnt things I’ve never known before wth 😭
Mailys has a very strong R and mispronounces “é” that she almost pronounces like “è”. Not the best example unless you plan to imitate the South Western accent. In France, every region has an accent. My region speaks very slowly and mispronounces “j” (we almost say “ch”) and “g” that we pronounce “c/k”. I cured my accent by living abroad for a dozen of years 😂
every vowel is like a fake moaning sound LOL.

Oui oui
LMAO. That's why it's the sexiest Romance language.

I'm French, why did I watch the entire video ?
(Also, "douleur" is a better translation of "pain", cause "mal" can also say "bad")
J'ai pensé la même chose !

Dites adieu aux douleurs du passe. Ce qui nous attend est bien plus beau!
JAYKUMAR PATIL Some of the French can learn English or have American roots, if that’s what you’re asking. So yeah, they speak French obviously but can learn English as well.
are we supposed to pronounce the "r" at the end of douleur, or is it the french "r"
I learnt Arabic by speaking to natives whilist living in the country for 7 years I only knew the words hello goodbye and thanks , now I can speak read and write , I did not attend any classes just purely from speaking to others a lot , I believe by moving to the country only then you will be able to grasp quickly these
I really recommend this channel because I have been looking for French pronunciation guides forever and this totally rocks!
This lesson is based on fear... I think you should relax a bit more, and choose a different wording to encourage learners rather than scaring them with all these 'rules to abide by'. The english/american accent is very cute and its not at all a problem to understand you guys, even if you 'break these rules' :) dont give up
aldena suemia oh I'm so glad to hear that! I was worried that no one would be able to understand me through my accent haha
There's hope in the world.
Of course they can understand you but they will treat you like merde based on your accent.
I new to French and, yes it is intimidating. Yet, on the other hand, I speak British English and would prefer it if others would try to speak it correctly.
Mateo yeah i literally yelled “there’s nine more!?”
i'm french and i want to improve my english , maybe have a better accent but i came to realise i should keep that french accent i have even exagerate it because it's sexy in other people eyes 😂. I want to learn and use more vocabulary of the everyday life. So i can be bilingual. Keep it up people french isn't that hard, good luck!
You can help me?
"french isn't that hard"
Le français est trèèès dur.
If you ask me I don't think french is very hard either
just don't keep telling yourself "oh mAn tHis iS HaRd" and start studying and you'll eventually learn it (◡ ω ◡)
Atleast you admit that you like the compliments on your accent.😂😂
i am trying to learn french and spanish at the same time. I love spanish since it is much easier to pronounce since I already know german, but french!! Fifty ears ago I wanted to learn but when I saw the writing I got confused and got discouraged, but now I am determined since I would be traveling in my retirement! Tough, but not impossible!
I wish the non-native speaker spoke in French too. I love hearing it with multiple accents to see the nuances and what are ways that work better for me.
I have been studying french for 4 years now. I still can't get the pronunciation right. Honestly, don't worry about it. You'll probably have an accent and that is 100% okay. Just do your best and never stop trying. If I had stopped trying, I wouldn't be watching this video.

@@maxchipchase9447 C'est is "it is" usually It depends on the context if it is used for introducing someone it is "This is" etc
I'm so glad I'm Finnish. It makes learning French and Spanish so much easier. I didn't even realize that some English speakers can't pronounce these letters
Struggling with the French pronounciation, hopefully, the more I listen, the easier It will get.
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.
Bonne chance à ceux qui apprennent et salut les francophone! ;)

French is sometimes called the "language of vowels." Been learning French for a year. Still the hardest for me, but definitely getting better. Have to hear the differences first.
for anyone having a hard time pronouncing the letter r's sound in french, try making the sound you make when drawing saliva from the throat. however, don't overstress when the sound when pronouncing in actual french words.
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.
I'm impressed. I teach French in high-school and this is the best lesson I've seen in a long time.
French folks have a strong accent speaking English here. I fail to see why I am not allowed to have just as strong an accent speaking French.
I get what you mean but accent is not the same that pronunciation.
@@camilagrgicevic2890 Maybe, but it still is a substantial part of it.
sadly the American accent sounds horrible in other languages. Like a Chinese speaking English.
@@carlospaul6487 Personally Indian English is the most annoying to me. I don't know, it feels like there is something blocking in their mouth.
I think if we say it with an English/American accent, we might end up saying something completely different than we think we're saying lol if you're not making their sounds then it's all Greek to them 💁🏽♀️
As a spanish speaker, knowing a language similar to french makes it wayyyyy easier with pronunciation
I am Zulu from South Africa and the French R and Zulu R are the same/similar sound. Quiet awesome! also the joining of words with a comma, so similar to Zulu.
Everything is easy for me EXPECT FOR THAT DAMN R it’s so hard
Same XP
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.
If Arabic or Turkish was your main language it would be easier
If your main language was Arabic or Turkish it would be easier because they have the letterغ
For me it's easy:) skl

@Michael Evans I'm pretty sure saying "grand rond point" is the hardest thing ever for an English person 😂

With spanish you can understand portugués Italiano and a litle of french. Is powerful.
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 TH-cam, 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
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! 😂😂
Me: knows Bengali, English and Hindi
Also me: Learning Spanish with dedication
My brain at 4 am: Learn French! Why not!
I have a French-speaking test next week, so I'm using some of these videos to improve my pronunciation
for me it's all U
I know right.
Spanish : 5 vowel sounds
French : a lot of them
Me : I’m now depressed
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.
my native language has 12 vowel sounds :)
True story: Many years ago, I was in France for 8 weeks. By the time I left, I could pretty well understand everything said to me (everyday things, not; e.g., philosophy) and was forming full sentences. Immersion works. Keep listening and trying, and your brain will work it out. Bon chance!!!

After learning Arabic this should be doable. This one French girl I met years ago was right. The first thing you should learn is the vowels and pronounciation. This video is gold.❤❤❤
How did you learn Arabic??
Excellent! Sounds are, without doubt, vitally important when learning to communicate in any language. Bravo!
Merci! This'll help me for my upcoming French classes :D
I can’t get the difference between “u” and “o” sound...
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.
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
Well I'm a Brazilian English speaker learning french in english. I've got to base languages to learn a new one
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.
Why do I have trouble saying the faintly guttery “r” in French, but when I say “horse” I can feel that same sound coming out of my mouth? Ughh
HOLY SHIT.
THANK YOU.
I was just testing out what u were sayin, then tried the French r.
And that boy said, *"Good evening."*
I pronounceddddd itttttt!!!!
OH MY GOD- OH MY GOD THIS IS GENIUS OMG THANKUUUU
"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. ;)
This is so well done. Thank you.
I really appreciate your efforts in the pronounciation of those sounds.
Thanks a million
Merci beacoup madame
this channel helps me so much, merci !
princess. C vrai
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"
I know English, Turkish, Malay and Arabic and im really glad im not monolingual. Now im attempting to add another language to the collection. Wish me luck!
Thank you.
If the lesson goes too fast for some, it may be helpful to know that the playback speed can be slowed down (or sped up, as it were). Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the video and select the playback speed menu. Hope that helps
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
Sofia Okorafor Thank you very much!/ Merci beacoup! What a great way to remember that! :)
I see. Examples of words ending in C as in Lac, R as in Voir, F as in Oeuf, and L as in Mal.

C'est rigolo de suivre un cours de français ... en étant français soi même.
Bon apprentissage à vous !
As a brazilian, im in LOVE with this video. I'm learning two languages at the same time. kinda funny tho.
Spanish speaker here. French is going to be a hell of a ride to learn, is the darned pronunciation that kills me.
As a native Filipino speaker, I thought pronouncing French words is very difficult but I found it easy lol. Maybe it's because Filipino tongue is so flexible? Haha idk XD✌
(Sorry for the grammar lol)
You're great, I'm filipino too! Allô!
