I recently read a couple of books about French history (one was about the French Revolution and the other was about the Marquis de Lafayette). This video helped me understand how to pronounce those place names (at least in my mind) as I was reading these books. I would love to see a video of pronunciations of famous people and events from the French Revolution.

Love the channel! I think people find it easier to be understood in English than French because there are so many different English dialects and accents. We are used to hearing things said lots of different ways, but when I say something almost correct to someone in French, they won't have a clue what I said.

Great topic. As someone from the other side of La Manche, I'm most familiar with the port cities. I think we used to pronounce St Malo like we say St Helens or St Albans - Sunt. Now it's more likely just 'saint'. And what about Cherbourg? I'd say it as 'Cher' - like the singer - and 'burg'. Calais and Dunquerque (OK we spell that as Dunkirk!) look pretty easy, but Caen?

I tried to say "Reims" the French way at the train station and they had no clue. Thought I was trying to say Rennes. I showed them the word Reims on my phone and got to my destination. The French R just sounds like a grunt to me, hahah. Wish I had watched this video before I went to the 2019 Women's World Cup - I definitely pronounced La Havre very wrong as well, lol.

reims was the tricky one, did not expect that. i always gave trouble with place names where the consonants that are usually silent are pronounced. i think there's a few river names that are tricky too. saone comes to mind. could you do one, svp. it'll be a good geography lesson as well...grand merci!!!

I knew all of these but I knew people who struggled with Caen. I'm glad Reims was included as that's even worse for some people. I used to live in Thonon les Bains next to Evian, where the well known bottled water is produced. I'm English and using my own language here because it is likely to be understood by more people than French is. One thing I never learned despite being fluent in French ( because I lived there "too soon" ....before the internet arrived ) is computer / internet words. Like "right click" "copy and paste" and that kind of thing. Do the French even use "google" as a verb like we do in English ....googler ? What is a website / browser ...etc ....in French ? I have never come across a video by anyone which shows such words and phrases.

Describing people from the cities would be nice too. Like if you're from Nice you're Niçois or Niçoise. My French teacher in high school called me Nançoise because my name is Nancy. -- I recognize Orleans from Jeanne d'Arc aussi. En plus "Blois" which is REALLY hard for me to say naturally as an anglophone.
