- I make French people pronounce difficult English words! It's simple, the rule is they have to be 100% French to participate. Then, I show them a series of hard English words and they have to attempt to say them out-loud. Thats it!

As a native English speaker who has studied French, I think “choir” looks like a French word, and I can’t blame them for pronouncing it the way they did. I’m surprised they didn’t all comment on how the spellings of English words often seem to have no relation to their pronunciation. By the way, the last word is spelled wrong, at least on the screen. There is only one “h” in the word “psychotomimetic.”
Isn’t that what they call “false cognitive?”
@@morgandeclercque4608 do you mean false cognate?
@@oop1761 oops…….yes
"Choir" is also a french word but with a different meaning
It means leaving something behind
@@hidenname541 it also mean "to fall" ^^
As a Russian person who learned English
English spelling makes no sense

I mean, Russian grammar isn’t much better
As an Indian person who learned English
I agree
I’m an English person who learned Spanish, that language is a God Send in comparison
Yeaa... we pretty much just threw random letters together and made it words
Being a mashed up bundle of languages, yes.
1 minute in, and squirrel doesn’t even sound like a word anymore
It is a word though.
ObliviousToTheJoke that’s not what they were sayin though 😂
@@salmonache1601 they said it does't sound like a word. But it dows because it is a word. Ugh.
ObliviousToTheJoke nice user name btw
And the funny part is that it's most probably because of phenomenon called Jamais Vu (and yes, this is also french ^^).
Never knew that the word “focus” could sound so dirty.

As japanese, i get very nervous when i speak English because because the structure and pronunciation of English is completely different from that of Japanese. but i learned that nobody can speak their second language perfectly thanks to this video!
@@CharlesNauckOpposite of my experience
Yes you are right 100%. Most people don't learn well because they are affraid of being ridiculous. When in fact most people are realy supportive dont give judgement and find it "cute" when you don't say words properly. So keep going !
The Japanese accent is so cute and the Japanese language always has a nice ring to it
Yeah Charles is right, if we can understand you it doesn't matter, and even if not it's wrong to be rude. Plus I found out at 14 that I was pronouncing six wrong, some of us can hardly get our native language right 😅

I have so much respect for the French people. As an American visiting overseas, I did my very best to learn, speak, and respect their beautiful language, but they would go above and beyond if I struggled (and genuinely politely, with no snarky backhandedness) usually help out by speaking with me in English afterwards, while still encouraging me in a positive way to continue learning French. I have nothing but nice things to say about the people I met there.🙂
I agree! I didn’t meet any of these “stuck up” French people I heard so many Americans talk about

English is my second language. Grammatically. It’s quite easy. Phonetically, it makes no fucking sense.
That's what happens when you put together multiple languages with wildly different ways to pronounce things.
That's what happens when you're too lazy to update your orthography.

@@klounpound6945 bruh
As a native English speaker I can agree that English spelling makes absolutely no sense. Who thought it was a good idea to put a “c” that sounds like an “s” in city?

I have been to France many times and my good buddy lives in Lyon. The French are very friendly towards foreigners. I always enjoy my time there.
In Paris they generally aren't. In the rest of France, yes they're generally a lot less snobby and are more forgiving with people that don't speak perfect French.
The french people did alot better than American trying french words

english is the most basic language so it makes sense
@@Kingethan1OO not sure if I'd say it's the most basic. But it's the most used internationally and the American media is so very available. Probably why

@@antiair6185 did i miss a reference there?
It depends on the language
"Hey can you pronounce 'choir'?"
French person: "Sure."
Well it’s like the word chat which means cat in French, and it’s pronounced as if an America person was saying “sha” their words that start with ch are pronounced shhh instead of ch. That’s why when they said choir they pronounced it like that if that makes any sense at all.
We would have pronounced sho-R
Yeah but in french "choir" means to fall si they just use the french word
@@nxthxn_nn Yes that's why it's true but also the french word for Choir is "Chœur" and it's almost pronounced the same way.
Lol I see what you did there haha
Their pronunciations are honestly so adorable
Well, as french people think :
*American talking in french* cute !
*French talking in english* horrible
Lol help
Yes lol
Schwaaa!!😂 Sounds so satisfying!
@@zectalyx930 I think too as a French speaker 😂
I think it's the accent
Someone: shows a French man a word with too much 'R'
Frenchman: *breaks*
Tbf, the English R is quite different from what other languages use as R. Most languages form R using the tongue similar to L, while English uses the lips similar to a W. This is why languages with no R at all tend to default to L (see "Engrish") and why Elmer Fudd uses W instead of L (see "Waskiwwy Wabbit")
@@michaelweiske702 Elmer Fudd is an American character who has a speech impediment.
@@SherriLyle80s yes, he does, and that speech impediment makes it difficult to pronounce R's properly, though he still mimics the motions with his mouth, hence the W sound. Thank you for providing this very useful information.
Same with Americans. They pronounce Mirror as "meer" and "terrorist" and "tourist". Americans struggle with R's more than French.
@@wollybumbol214 I, as an american, must disagree with you. I can see the mirror-meer connection, but we do not pronounce terrorist as tourist. We know terror has two syllables, and no one pronounces tour as tear (as in a page).
I also enjoyed watching the reactions of the couple sitting on the ground to the left of the screen. They got a kick out of the mangled attempts as well. And everyone was so good natured.
I like the guy who eating and then answering, like the food is giving mans his power💀

The fact that the girl said "I speak English very well" instead of "I speak English good" goes to show that she has better grammar than 90% of native speakers lol.
You can say the same about most people who learn a second language. You learn basic phrases right out of a textbook vs learning the language from speaking it colloquially. When you hear something frequently enough you say it like that, and second language speakers often aren’t exposed to the nuances of how a language is spoken everyday.
are you a native speaker?

Oh my god you must be hanging around the wrong people because "speak good" instead of "speak well" makes me cringe

I think the most difficult part of learning French is the fact that a lot of the letters or words are silent, which happens in English just not as much😅French is so much fun to learn though! I imagine learning English to suck
In English, the problem is that letters or groups of letters always have different pronunciations
English r is just horrible to be honest even after years of practice its still been giving be a hard time in some words... the emphasis are also hard, personally I'm too lazy to make the effort
@@axo_lolt4083Your written English skills are good, from what I can see. French is just as hard for native English speakers, getting to a point where you can read it isn't that bad, but getting to a point where you can actually understand French people talk is a whole other challenge due to how fast French people speak.
@BasePuma4007 Well, I think it's a matter of exposure to the language, we indeed speak really fast and shorten words quite a lot... Immersion into a french speaking country is certainly the most efficient way to learn, which might be a bit scary tho (speaking from experience, I recently went to Germany and I found out the spoken German on the spot 🥲)
@BasePuma4007 and thanks! I learned english with youtube and I'm doing quite well imo (taking into account I've never spoken English in my whole life since I live in a very rural area of France)

In french, the number six is pronounced “seas”, so they know it is pronounced different, but don’t exactly know how. Just because many take English as an elective and are pretty knowledgeable in the language, doesn’t mean they are perfect. Accents also come into play. Americans have a difficult time pronouncing the french word for squirrel as well. It is ecureuil, pronounced something like “a cure a” but with rolled r’s, which is part of why the word is so difficult to pronounce. Fish, or poisson, is pronounced “pwa son”, with a hard sounding o as like a mix between pull and and pond kinda. Languages are really fascinating, as the french also conjugate a large amount of verbs. For example, the verb Etre (To be) is conjugated as Je suis (I am)/ Tu as (You are)/ Il/Elle/On a (He/She is) / nous sommes (we are) / vous ete (they (plural/respectful you) are) / Ils/Elles/Ons sont (they plural are). We have different verb conjugation and past/present/future verbs as well, but that is one difference between our cultures. Sorry for the rant but I’ve been taking french for 5 years. I know a bit.
Blondie 4404 thanks for the brief French lesson lol😂
*James Charles has entered the chat*
The guy who said sikth actually pronounced it how most English people say the word. Americans fully pronounce the six whereas we kinda skip over it. So that guy was closest for me.
Blondie 4404 you mixed be and have in the French way, « to be » is : Je suis, Tu es, Il/elle/on est, Nous sommes, Vous êtes, Ils/elles sont and « to have » is : J’ai, Tu as, Il/elle/on a, Nous avons, Vous avez, Ils/elles ont
Dude with the food saw "throughout" and had a mental reboot 😂😂
As a American student learning French this makes me feel better about French words
Yea English is much harder than French since French Romance language (derived from Latin) and English is derived from many other languages.
@@lucienlanternierstein1355 i know that french is hard because i am but german is kind of the same word as english so it is easier for u to learn english
Same
coming from a bilingual school, I'm so grateful my parents offered me a high quality education
@@Handleoriginal12 i speak Arabic, French and English and I gotta say French is way harder than English (but certainly way easier than Arabic)
The word: psychotomimetic
That one guy: “fish”
In the guy's defense, it was probably mispelled. At 8:16 it says phsychotomimetic at the upper left corner of the screen.
Bish
jana almiyahi no he said « wesh » is a French hood word like wtf or yo
🤣
To be honest, I never heard of "Psychotomimetic" and I'm American.
NOW LET'S WATCH AMERICANS BUTCHER THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
wow cant let us have any fun :(
hors d’oeuvre
that happens every day in French class
i wanna try! 😂😭🥺🥺
at the end
The irony of an American laughing at French people's mispronunciation of "squirrel" when he pronounces it "skwerl"
The USA has the most native speakers of English in the world, the most media influence, and is the modern Center for English. Stop with the odd UK supremacy, it’s not the “correct” version anymore.
the english world: "throughout"
a french guy with food in his mouth: "halavaj", "ih...tren...trengut!", "troua...tralala"
come on,that was a little bit hard,we have to understand him😂
Bruh no replies
Imagine showing a hard French word to English
that guy was not speaking french fluently i am french and my guess is that he just learned french 1 or 2 years ago
"halavaj" he said "ha la vache" , it's like "oh my god"
