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.”
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.🙂
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!
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 !
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 😅
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")
@@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.
@@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).
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.
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.
@@plutothetutor1660 no we actually have a verb that's called "choir", it means "to fall" but it's not really part of the spoken language it's quite outdated
@@LittleThings98 Yeah well it's more like "euuuil" you have to pronounce the end of "of": See ratatouille ? RatatouILLE it's almost the same same sound RatatouILLe, écurEUIL

Not gonna lie, they did WAY better than I expected for trying to pronounce words in a language _that they don't understand._ Also, the girl at 2:28 HAS to have had some experience with American English. She pronounced that perfectly, with no hesitation, with an almost complete American accent. That, or she's just amazing.
@@jaimelabouffe4565 yep. They're hopeless. There's many other cities and villages in France where there's poeple that are good in English (by good, I mean, better than them :D)

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
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)

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.
Learn this at 9:11 _"anticonstitutionnellement"_ It's known as the longest word in french. If you can pronounce it, even brokenly, just knowing it, any French person will instantly congratulate you. (its long but not thant hard, just split it : anti | constitution | nelle | ment and you can pronounce the first 2 parts with a completely English accent)
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.
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

@@lilyjohnson7507 You say it like “cwuoh saunt”
@@lilyjohnson7507 The best way to know how it’s pronounced is by typing it in a French translation then hearing the voice

In the guy's defense, it was probably mispelled. At 8:16 it says phsychotomimetic at the upper left corner of the screen.

They all do a great job. I wish that I could pronounce even easy French words as well as they do difficult English words.
Learn this at 9:11 _"anticonstitutionnellement"_
It's known as the longest word in french. If you can pronounce it, even brokenly, just knowing it, any French person will instantly congratulate you.
(its long but not thant hard, just split it : anti | constitution | nelle | ment
and you can pronounce the first 2 parts with a completely English accent)
English Speakers: “choir“
French Speakers: “sure“
The “ch” makes a “sh” sound in French while in English “ch” makes “K” sound, that’s why we get it confused when reading English
@@kiddarts8812 Yeah that's similar to my first language heh
@@kiddarts8812 and the "oi" in french makes "w" sound.
@@kiddarts8812 it's actually funny since the literal translation to "choir" is "chorale" and in both cases we pronounce the -ch as "K".

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
The word choir:
French people: “Shwa!” “shwa!”
Struggling Frogs 😂😂😂
It’s because the letters in the alphabet sound different
i mean trois is "twa" and noir is "nwa" so it makes sense
Because the French say 'ch' as 'sh' and the 'oi' as 'wah' and they don't really pronounce the last letter
Struggling Frogs yes we watched the video
Too bad I wasn't there. Been training my whole life for a sudden squirrel or choir pronunciation check.
Lmao same 😂😂😂
I spoken English my entire life and I couldn't pronunce squrriel correctly until I was 7. 😅👍

A lot of people said squirrel right but just not in the American accent, but it doesn't mean they're saying it wrong
Well in American English that is not how you would pronounce it so it would be wring
Krul Side but you would still understand them right?
because in france they (try) to teach british pronunciation so it's pretty normal
Yeah i was like but they said it right it was thier accent
