@1bori1 I doubt it is the easiest, but it probably has the most exposure, so people hear it more and pick up on it much easier. the English grammar has lots of “exceptions to the rules” which for some people are hard to memorize.
@Egglesplork lol so babies are like dogs then? drooly, chew up everything in sight, even if its not edible. and some dogs are small, so then yep, they’re pretty close together! haha :]
(i love babies and dogs, btw.)
That’s right = c’est exact.
That’s fine = c’est bien.
Yes please = oui.
Excuse me = excusez-moi….
Le mot ” faute ” est mal prononcé.
Sinon, belle vidéo. ( sans rancune )

_____We-e-e-ell… When you brought up the dog analogy, you lost me. I hate dogs. They’re all BIG and DROOLY. They chew up everything in sight, even if it’s NOT edible. Cats might not have the big IQ points, but they at least SEEM smarter. In fact, I’ve gotta deal with two of ‘em due to my house-mates. What the Hell; they’re too busy to feed their own freakin’ animals. Just wait ’till my new job starts up…

_____En effet, on dit qu’on n’est pas francais si on apprend cette langue avec ces videos-ci. Mon grand-pere etait francias, pas moi. Donc, je parle francais terriblement…
_____This video is LYING to you. You want some REAL attention in France, try THESE phrases. Go into a restaurant and say the following. “Bonjour. Je suis une manie de tronconneuse. Donnez-moi vos tetes.” Don’t forget the rules of pronounciation; no way am I gonna butcher that by spelling it phonetically. If you say it right, you’ll get a LOT of attention soon enough. It works even BETTER if you hunch over a little and carry a really big bag…
Pas mal, mais l’accent laisse un peu à désier : “c’est vrai” ne se prononce pas “cÉvrÉ” mais “cè vrè”… pareil pour le “ce n’est pas de ma faute” : on ne dit pas “ce nÉ pas de ma fOte” (o ouvert), mais on dit “ce nÈ pas de ma fÔte” . Quand on fait des leçons de prononciation, il faut laisser de côté les particularités phonétiques régionales… on dirait que vous n’êtes pas française
@soyyodeazul what do you mean most Americans?
French is a very hard language to learn for English speakers because you have to make sounds that you dont use in English.
English is one of the hardest languages out there and we dont judge people on how they speak it.
It doesn’t matter were your from America,Canada,France it all boils down to two things planet EARTH and HUMANS we need to stop picking on people because of were there from thats like saying brown dogs are smarter then black dogs.
I thought this video was a joke at first… her face when she’s repeating the words. She sounds like she’s digusted, her accent is ugly! (I grew up in Paris)
