Hell, even for someone who considers English as a second language, I find that word to be utterly difficult to pronounce without stumbling on a few syllables.

right it's a physical activity as much as an intellectual one and I've noticed that just as a with physical activity, I get better after warming up as a non native speaker, when I do English, my accent sucks less 2-4 minutes in than it did at the very beginning
Yeah, but… not really. Different languages do require different jaw movements etc, that’s the reason non-native speakers will never talk as natives. However, examples in this vids are mostly from people who didn’t even study english properly (which is completely fine). They weren’t just having problems with pronunciation, they couldn’t even read the words properly. I, for example, know this words and can pronounce them correctly even though my mother tongue is very far from English. It might sound a bit off, sure, but nothing like square friend.
It brings me some strange comfort to know that French-speaking people feel the same way about English words as I, an English-speaking person, feel about French words.

France has similar problem as the US with English. We learn English in school but French is so widely spoken across the world. So many films, TV shows, music, etc is in French, so the incentive to learn anything else is not as strong as in other countries. And other romance languages are easier. I'm from Israel but I lived in France for much of my childhood. My family lived in North Africa for many centuries and we all spoke French.
It's because that's more similar to French that "thorough" which is very difficult to pronounce for us because of the "-th" we never really know if it's pronounced -ze/-te/-zi/-s/or -f . it is quite mindfucking 😂 psychophysicotherapeutics in French is psychophysicothérapeutique so as difficult as the English one but sound the same (just say your word with a French accent and that's it 😂)
Yes I can’t get a French accent to sound good I just sound American and it’s so hard to memorize the numbers like “soixante-dix”are you kidding me? Lol I don’t think many other languages have seventy as sixty-ten
When French people have to start a word with H it’s like they’re using every bit of energy they can muster but they don’t have enough air in their lungs. 😂
As someone who has studied French for years and struggled with so many words and phrases, it brings me a sadistic joy knowing they struggle with our language too 😂

but I bet we sound like deaf people when we try to pronounce words in other languages 😂
man really said “bacon lettuce tomato” in the most bad-ass way possible
Man started pulling off the whole lettuce dish list
Man said daaaaaaaaaa fam
A man that knows his subway order haha
A BLT
he didn't have to say it, but he went the extra mile.
"Queue" is a must on these tests
I mean in french that’s worse
“Try to say lettuce...”
Parisian Tony Stark: Hold my coffee
StrwbrryLabz i guess he loves lettuce 3000
😂 You answered my question to: who does this guy remind me of?
Parisian Tony Stark lol
YEEESS
Parisian Tony Stark!! 😂😂😂👏👏👏
Everyone : “squirrel “
That one french guy :”square friend”
Someone doesn't watch RuPaul
Try to say squirrel in French and we’ll talk about it later
Écureuil
Wtf no he said "squirrel friend"

Don't worry French people we find your language just as hard.
Harder, the nasal is employed.
Yes I can’t get a French accent to sound good I just sound American and it’s so hard to memorize the numbers like “soixante-dix”are you kidding me? Lol I don’t think many other languages have seventy as sixty-ten
French is very hard for me to learn.
On sait vous inquiétez pas
@@saturniiiidae hahaha
When French people have to start a word with H it’s like they’re using every bit of energy they can muster but they don’t have enough air in their lungs. 😂
The lettuce guy is the embodiment of the meme "me, an intellectual:"
Agreed
lmao he is though
loLolol
I love how you called him the lettuce guy 😂😂
As someone who has studied French for years and struggled with so many words and phrases, it brings me a sadistic joy knowing they struggle with our language too 😂
And then you go to Québec and realize half of the population under 40 is competent with both frenchand english, with one of them being learned later in life. All with good pronounciation.
Ahahaha YES SAME
People from france have an obsession with correcting other people's french. Yet here they are unable to pronounce basic words 😄
@@Grandobzen yeah because they don’t speak English and have probably never seen these words before it’s like a person who only speaks English trying to pronounce words from another language majority of people would fuck that up
@@taroseren but they live in france. English isnt a foreign language in france
to be fair most of their pronunciations would be accepted if they're travelling abroad

Absolutelly . I am Spanish , Iwork in a hotel , and a lot of people who talk english to me , pronounce it not very acuratelly since it is not their first language , and you get used to understand them all . I lost all my shyness about my nasty pronunciation talking to Russians and being able to comunicate just ok like than . Once you lost your shame , you start improving by imitating native english speakers and wanting to get better with them .
@@TheMaru666 I'm glad you found your courage. We native Brits really dont expect non natives to pronounce English like the queen of England. Nor do we, remember that in Britain there are 37 different dialects and 64 distinct accents of English. We are used to hearing pronounciation changes so non natives have that advantage, in fact we love hearing our language spoken with a continental style - it makes our language sound sexier lol.
tweetie pie yeah not y’all didn’t force it and many languages were lost in the process shaming my grandparents for speaking Hindi but yeah you must be happy

Expecting to have a good light-hearted laugh then suddenly.... 0:22 hot French guy appeared and kinda slayed the pronunciation.

Video: Psychophysiotherapeutics.
Me: That's not fair.
Woman: * pronounces it perfectly *
She didn't though
@@rewrose2838 she pronounced it a hell of a lot better than anything else on this list.
@@lisasmiles3318 she pronounced psychophysicotherapeutics , not psychophysiotherapeutics
@@rewrose2838 But the word shown in the video had a c in it, so she did it right.
@@juli5945 I was referring to how she did not pronounce the word without the c 'perfectly'
0:39 “Edgehog”. Ah yes, Shadow
"Jeweler"
*10 seconds later*
*"PSYCHOPHYSICOTHERAPEUTICS"*
Actually jeweler was harder for me than the other one
well jeweler is pretty hard for people that speak another language so
Jeweller used to have two ll's because it followed an older English spelling rule. Now they just dumb it down in the U.S. because "spelling is too hard!" The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)
I speak 100% english and I didn't even know psychophysicotherapeutics was a real exsiting word thx america for making my life harder than it already is

"Bacon lettuce tomato"
Me: ahh yes he will fit in here
He seemed very comfortable with English.
he just sounded a bit english tbh
I was thinking he must have been to the US. He had the most natural pronunciation.
@Austin Ihenacho Only 300lbs? I think it's more like 350lbs of STUPID fat!
He's gonna arrive at the airport and ask around "Excuse me, bacon lettuce tomato?"
Do you know this guy, Squirrel? He lives in Hedgehog, Massachusetts. He's got a thorough understanding of Psychophysicotherapeutics.
Yes, and he loves bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches
I think he's a jeweler aswell.
@@banana_man_101 lol yeah
U mean SQUARE FRIEND?

My last brain cell at 3am be like:
“Square friend”
Marisa Stark why tf you watching this at 3am😂
It’s 2 am for me 😂😂
It's 3:11 right now for me i swear
Y’all laughing but can’t pronounce shit in French
Showtime bravo now let’s try so make a conversation to see are dumb and useless these words are in real life situation
you know it's bad when the French start talking about how there are too many vowels and syllables
hello what’s funny is that some English words come from French
JamesTheFox some? more like 70%
As156 no 50% of English words come from other languages
JamesTheFox yep. A lot of German as well.
*cough* words that end in - eaux - *coughcough*

I had a cousin who bought a car after graduating from college. This was in 1991. She described it as a Cavalier Chevrolet 1991 wit hair conditioner. At the time, I was still in university and had a 1982 Cavalier and was in awe of modern technology. Mine had a block eater though.
