L'Académie française isn't going to be happy with this.
-
As a native spanish speaker, I can understand over 60-50% of french. But, I can understand over 80% of français aspiré.
-
I would unironically start learning french if it was pronounced like this
-
French is what happens when you go through the sound changes you want in a tonal language but you forget to add the tones
-
In other words: How I used to pronounce french when first learning it at school
-
French if a German read it for the first time in his life
-
Pronouncing silent final e as a schwa just gave him a southern accent lol I tought pronouncing every letter would make it a mess, but it's actually pretty easy to understand, it just sounds like a regional speech
-
as a french speaker, watching the first part of the video was like "wtf, this sounds very weird" but after watching the part where the french native spoke "français aspiré", this became quite clear and actually pretty pleasant to hear
-
As a French person, my first thought at 5:44 was "wait, now you can't tell it apart from the feminine version" but then I remembered that your cursed version of French re-introduced word-final schwa.
-
It really just sounds like a strong regional accent to my French ears. But the pronounced "s" at the end of plural makes French sounds very hissing, haha.
-
Oh, hey, this is exactly how I sound when trying to read a French text.
-
English & French: The spelling is historic and the modern pronunciation doesn't match. Polish, German, Spanish, Italian etc: pronounce words how it's spelt. Danish:.....
-
he fixed it
-
The e at the end sound just like a southerner, but the -s are crazy. Also I think qu and gu and ge was a mistake, I'd argue they are not silent, just a digraph
-
I'm french and this actually sounds like french from a few hundreds years ago (though I say that just as an intuitive opinion)
-
I feel sad as a French speaker, we'd be closer to the other major Romance languages if we pronounced it this way
-
It's just slightly better than real French. Old French is actually not painful to hear.
-
Pretty good video but I'd just liked to say that the silent final e is still pronounced is certain accents, especially in the south of France
-
5:24 The "d" in "poids" was introduced by mistake to make French spelling closer to Latin. "Poids" like Spanish "peso" never had a spoken "d".
-
Now imagine if English speakers actually pronounced every letter of English as they claim to pronounce them. Give it a try.
