- This is the third of a 3-part series on French pronunciation. The goal is to get familiar with the sounds of French. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through my pronunciation trainers. More links below:

No pauses between words is a phenomenon which occurs in many languages. It is more noticeable when one listens to a foreign unfamiliar language rather than one's native language, as a native speaker has the ability to "make sense" and "mentally split" the continuous phrasal flow into specific words and meanings.
Agree. As a non-native speaker of French, I find it very hard to distinguish each word and syllables. Like I am hearing someone who is releasing an air through his mouth. Also, the french 'r' is a struggle for beginners.
Tes vidéos sont formidables. Merci de tout ton travail. J’en suis immensément reconnaissant. 🙏🌊✌️❄️👍🍾🥂
Happy to hear they are useful for you!
I wish I had seen this video before, you know how to make things easier.
All of this I already know but your video is nice.
amazing video.
Thank you!
Hello! Great video,Gabriel, as always! thank you!
Could you please make a video about how to correctly pronounce the French R ? with a few clear examples according to the place of the letter R in a word (front/middle/at the end/before a vowel/consonant etc.). I cannot pronounce this consonant at all :(. I pronounce it like in English. Thanks a lot!
Act like you're going to spit. It's the same sound.
Similarly in English if you say "a" and the next word starts with a consonant it remains the same; however if the next word is a vowel "a" becomes "an". Example "a dog" vs "an apple"
sometimes "a" becomes "an" even if the next word starts with a consonant. "an hour" starts with "an" because "hour" starts with a vowel sound
@@bluebird-sl3mc good job for noting that exception. 🙂

@@bluebird-sl3mcExactly, since this rule of English is to make pronunciation more comfortable, since it is more uncomfortable to pronounce a double vowel, and that [n] there serves as an aid to pass faster and comfortable to the next word (in this case, moving more comfortably from one vowel sound to another). This rule is not based on spelling, but on pronunciation, and spelling is what is then applied to give logic to what is pronounced.
For this reason, although «university» orthographically begins with the vowel letter «u», «an» is not used, but «a», since this word does not begin with a vowel sound, but with a voiced palatal approximant consonant sound [j]. As seen in «a university» [ˌə.jũ.nɪ.ˈvɛː.sə.tʰi] or in «a one» [ə.ˈwɐ̃n].
This same rule applied to «my» and «mine», since previously if the next word started with a vowel or [h], «mine» was used, while if it started with any other consonant sound «my» was used, although this rule has now been lost for these words and their meaning as well. For example, «mine eyes» and not «my eyes». As an additional fact again, this same rule was in the archaic «thy» and «thine» used with the second person personal pronoun «thou». This use was partly lost for the same reason as in the example of «a university» since that «my» changed its pronunciation to a sliding [j] (/maɪ/ [mɑj]) which served as a pass to make a comfortable pronunciation from vowel to vowel.
Cool video! Or as the kids say, "so RAD!" I've struggled to learn French my whole life and even my kids know more than me! This video really enhanced my knowledge and made learning so much easier! You are starting to make me believe, just maybe, I can become fluent in French! Keep up the great work, or should I say Continuez ce bon travail, Fluent Forever! 😛
Hello there! We're delighted to know that the video has been useful to you. 🤩
Weird. I didn't know there was a name for what you called "liaison". I've barely studied French but I somehow picked up on that phenomenon just from reading a little bit about unpronounced consonants and noticing, _yeah, but_ they seem to pronounce some of those consonants when connecting words in a sentence. Anyway, nice to know I'm not crazy. I should study French for real some day 😛
Definitely not crazy! Language is sometimes so amazing, and learning all the small details really can make one happy! We hope you will enjoy learning French!
This was fantastic! I want your English to French pronunciation trainer, but I've never used Anki. I guess I should get familiar with Anki, and then get the trainer. (I speak English, Spanish, and Italian. French is next.)
감사합니다 😊
You're welcome! ☺️
Appreciated
The pleasure is most certainly ours!
*Thanks.*
Hey, I was wondering when your pronunciation trainers will be available to buy?
Thanks! I just ordered your book earlier today too. Can't wait for it.
That was hard but still I made notes now I will repeat it again and again untill it sits in my subconscious mind✌
Gotta be honest I'm just tryna study for a spelling bee.
We wish you the best of luck!
this is more about pronunciation than spelling
I can't pronounce trafic properly. I can pronounce the french "R",but not trafic :(
Great video ,btw ! Thanks :)
Mon Dieu the French language is incredible lazy when it comes to its pronunciation
