This can also be visualised. Aigu has a rising "dash" so the flow of e sound goes up. With Grave the "dash" is falling so the sound drops.

You have to look for the shape of the mouth while pronouncing, the acute accent is made when you stretch your mouth sideways, almost like smiling it sounds "wider", the grave accent requires you to just open your mouth like when you are in "aaw", it sounds "closeted", is very subtle but there is a difference

Thank you so very very much Ms Alexa. I learned so much today. I took French in 1973 in college and I am amble to retain what I learned back than. You have turn me into a big fan. I will tell my friends about your lesson and encourage them to purchase your T-shirts. A bientot.
I have been learning French for 2 and a half years and I've always struggled spelling French words because I keep putting the accents around the wrong way! I just couldn't memorize where they went; so this really helped me as I can now hear where the accents go. Thank you so much! The examples were very helpful!

My friend in my French class told me about you and I'm so glad! You've made this SO simple and straightforward that I want to cry with joy and relief! I am naturally getting the French accent much more accurately just by reading the sentence you provided. Thank you SO MUCH! My passion for learning has increased and I'm already enthusiastic! You even taught me a word in my native English, 'ephemeral'! 😅 I'll be recommending you to everyone in my French class who doesn't know about you!

Your way of teaching is so encouraging to a new learner. Thanks for your efforts.
Most valuable lessons may God bless you 🙏
You always have such great videos, but I feel the need to clarify something you didn't really touch on enough, in my opinion. When you're dealing with a grave accent ( ` ) and you're trying to read it when it's accenting 'a' or 'u', it's important to note that those don't ever change the sound of those letters. In fact, « ù » is only ever used in the word « où » to distinguish it from « ou » in writing. « À » is used a lot more frequently, but it's main purpose is to, again, differentiate between two words with the same sound in writing; in this case: « a » (third person conjugation of _to have_ ) vs. « à » (at or to). The only part you really have to pay attention to is the fact that when « à » is at the end of a word, it signifies the enunciated syllable for the word.
I didn't know "ephermere" even in english haha
Power of Alexa, brings me yet again to this Lovely video. Merci Boucoup.
Thanks for explaining everything so beautifully. You are so thorough with the language. Stay blessed and take care.

You are an incredible teacher. Thank you very much for doing what you do! I watch your videos and learn how to pronounce correctly; my French tutor is impressed!
Hey, I have a small tip for you as a teacher, which I found very helpful when learning the difference between these two accents (aigu and grave). Use it, or not! Just wanted to tell you, as a student, who used to not understand the difference at all, until.... Grave: Starts on the top left, and dives down ''into the grave''... The reason I'm telling you is because it's natural to start on the left side, because us western folks read from left to right. And I noticed you said ''grave goes from the right, towards the left''.. Which is quite confusing, I think, and hard to remember. So, if you start on the left (like we do when reading) the accent grave dives down into the grave, and then the aigu jumps up towards the right (and here one could add a rise in pitch, I guess, just to remember it better... :-) As in ''Aiguuuuu!!'' Graaaaaave........ Aaaiguuuuuuu! (easy :-) Thanks again - pour les vidéos. Takk skal du ha, hilsen fra Oslo. Tack så mycket, mange tak, gracias .
Thank you! You makes these accent more understandable.
The way you teach is so helpful to me. Merci beaucoup!
Je suis française, j'adore tes vidéos et tu fait trés bien l'accent français Translate : I am french, I love your videos and you do verry good the accent french !
