English people never really come across french language, whereas french people learn some at school and they can see english words on food containers, bottles, supermarkets, public places.

That’s painful to watch. Are they being serious? I honestly can’t tell. 😫Considering we borrow approximately 29% of our language from French (and also from what we’ve picked up in basic geography and history), they should realize you can’t apply English principles to French. A very common word like bouquet isn’t pronounced “bow-ket”. It’s like they’re pronouncing the words phonetically in English and not even attempting the proper pronunciation. At least the French people tried (and did really well).
yeah its hard for native english speakers because our languages principles apply differently like with homonyms, homophones, heterosounds, heterographs, etc. and do you know what phonetic means? lmfao english isnt phonetic but spanish is, so when we see another language we assume its phonetic because most other languages are, like the most learned 2nd language, spanish.
Don't forget you are watching people speak American English here, not British English- which has kept some of the French pronunciations.... Although Brits won't do any better too!
@@vibeuk2003 That's a lie. Brits would have definitely pronounced some of these words correctly. Especially the basic ones. As a Brit, watching them mispronounce a considerable chunk of these words made my head hurt.

Just be careful because in french "ou" means "or" and "où" means "where". So it's où sont les toilettes. And "é" doesn't sound the same as "e" (which don't sound at all 😂) so it's enchanté and not enchante
As someone who doesn't speak French and doesn't know the phonetic alphabet, I'm guessing here, but... Is it pronounced (intentionally spelled bad to focus on the pronunciation) n-ch-aunt-eh?
Okay, the hot dog guy is just me. Just a freaking mood. Also Balensi standing there, nodding everytime they pronounce something wrong. A whole another mood.
Every year my family goes to France (I live in Europe) and when we go to restaurants and shops I’m always the one speaking properly in French to the people working there and I’m 15. And yes we understand each other. 🤦♀️

word : Droit Confident American : *BONJOUR* word : toilettes Same confident American : *TORTIDES* word : enchante The same bloody American : *ENJANTE, THAT'S EASY*
English contains a massive amount of French words (due to 1066 and William of Normandy conquering England), but most Americans can't pronounce them as the French do. They'll pronounce everything phonetically as they learned in Spanish class. That doesn't work well with French. Even if they do pronounce the words correctly, their accent is likely to murder the words.
The only thing i know correctly is how to pronounce french words,maybe write,but i probably wouldn't get it right,i know some words to translate but not alot. And yes these were really easy for me, I had french from 4th-8th grade and I didn't care about it,my pronouncation is the only good thing i can do,if I only cared for school back then today I would already speak French
For all the people that say that Americans can’t say the French words it’s because French is not a language we have to learn and more people learn Spanish especially there in San Diego which is on the border of Mexico compared to people in France who have to learn English
After this video you can no longer make fun of French people who speak English 🤣🤣🤣
Nant 01 exactly 😂 but I wasn’t making fun of them!!

As someone who speaks both languages, they are worse at trying to pronounce french words then the french were at pronouncing English words
English people never really come across french language, whereas french people learn some at school and they can see english words on food containers, bottles, supermarkets, public places.
Yeah. Nevertheless the are french laws that prohibit the use of any different language than french in advertising or products etc.
Makes sense since English is the most used language in the world. French people come in contact with it far more often then Americans do with french.
100% agree
most American schools offer more Spanish than French classes for a second language since we do border Mexico
No one:
That one guy: J'aime apple

because it was an american speaker able to correct the french speakers, however here we now had an english speaker quizzing on french words where they had no help to guide them to the right pronunciation
