Very briefly in the UK in the mid to late 2000s there was a fruit cider on the market called Jacques. I used to pronounce with the correct French pronunciation but it turned out that everyone else (including the bar staff) called it Jacks. In the end I had to sacrifice my correct French pronunciation for the bastardised English one just to get served. The same thing happened a few years ago when I ordered a bottle of the Spanish beer Estrella Damm, using the correct pronunciation ...the barmaid looked at me like I'd gone mad and said "oh you mean EstreLLa?" pronouncing the Ls in the English way. She treated me as if I was in the wrong. I didn't have the strength to argue.

I have some old French blood in my family, so while 100% Aussie, I must have some of the rolling r's, and I enjoy spending time updating with French speaking native persons at work, and countryside French is again another side to add on.❤ Another trick I had learnt is how the language will rise and fall when spoken slowly, then increase the speed without forgetting the harsh to soft lit to the back of the nasal passage. The swearing is fun too😂 I am trying to learn Farsi (Persian) which has some French words used as well, so it comes in handy to have those French ones down pat 🤗🥂

A good trick if you can picture it when you learn French, English sounds are made in the front of the mouth, nearer to the teeth. French sounds originate from further back in the mouth, nearer to the throat. I'm a native French speaker who had a big accent when speaking English, but when I noticed this front and back of the mouth thing, I started correcting my accent and it made speaking English much easier. I suspect it would work the same way from English to French.

I was born in Nashville, Tn. My first grade teacher couldn't understand why my English enunciation was so poor. In second grade, I realized on my own that "my mother talked funny" - she was German. I grew up concentrating on how I pronounced everything. No one thought I was from Tennessee. I could not even fake a southern accent (my siblings had severe southern accents.) Finally, at age 32 I moved to a "backwoods" area of the state where everyone "spoke hillbilly". After a couple of months, I would horrify myself as I heard myself pronouncing words in the local manner. Turns out, southerners only use the front of their mouth also - they just can't be bothered to open it very much either. Difficult to enunciate when you don't really bother to move your jaw much at all.

I'm so thankful that my HS French teacher (who had lived in France) didn't let us even see the book for the first few weeks; we only worked on proper pronunciation. For the French "R," she had us practice saying "OG" (as in dog) over and over --- then continue the same without fully closing the back of your throat. It was effective and it worked for most of us. It is much more effective than describing it as "AH."

My correct French accent returns on those trips after a few days, but for some days, I struggle as do so many non-native English speakers. Thank you for these videos, they help me re-orient myself.

Oh, this is so excellent! You have very clear lettering for how each name is spelled. Right under it, the spelling for the correct pronunciation is exactly what a native English-speaker needs, along with your excellent very French accent. You also give us enough time to repeat after you. And the insertions of the images are helpful. Ty so much for this!

If you wanna see a language that isn’t pronounced in the way it’s written, check out some Irish words. For starters, the letter “h” screws up everything- any consonant immediately before an h takes on a completely different sound, and sometimes no sound at all. Example: The popular girls’ name “Siobhan” is pronounced “Shi-vawn”- the “bh” is pronounced as a “v”.

I also needed the refresher on Hermes. 14:25 I noticed she did not link the s at the end of suis in Je suis allee... I forget if it's supposed to link with allee??

As a French person you did pronounce most of the brands correctly. Just one word regarding the brand L'Occitane en Provence. The "cc" is most of the time pronounced as "ks" when preceded with a vowel, such as in "accélérer" (to speed up) or "Occident". I said "most of the time", because there are exceptions, such as "ecchymose" (a bruise) which is pronounced "ay-key-moez".
