The examples are too fast, too fast to repeat after. The pronunciation samples go too fast to repeat after.

I did..bite my tongue ..and I am bleeding right now.....Kidding..that was a great explanation and practical presentation of the difference in pronunciation of OO and U sounds.... You definitely should have more subscribers!

Here's a tip to pronounce the 'u' sound. Make the 'i' (French) or long 'e' (English) sound. Then, without moving your tongue make the same sound but round your lips to make the 'ou' sound or a very similar sound is the English 'oo' sound as in boot. She's right that the lip positioning is the same in 'ou' vs 'u'. It's about the tongue positioning. To make the 'u' sound position your tongue the same as if it were the 'i' sound. Et voila!

YOU'RE AN ACTUAL LIFE SAVER I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT TYSM

It's easy. Steve makes the U sound in minecraft when he's hurt.

J'ai trouvé cette vidéo pour aider une amie qui cherche à bien prononcer "salut" en français et je trouve que cette vidéo est très bien

Great video and teaching style. Thank you!

Oh wow how wonderful is that!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing and I want to make more pronunciation videos!

Thank you for addressing OU vs U! But, I tried putting my tongue between my teeth and it stopped up the airflow! So I have read elsewhere the U is similar to pronouncing "eeee..." while the lips are rounded. Until today, this is how I've been doing it. What do you think of that method?

Agreed, no air (or noise) can come out of my mouth when my tongue is touching my top and bottom teeth :-( I can only make the sound by rounding my lips.

Merci de ton conseil.

C'est une très bonne vidéo! I do have one suggestion-request about the editing... I like to pause the video at the end of each phrase to study and practice it, but many times the editing chops it off so quick that it's hard to catch. For example, the phrase at 2:02 to 2:04. Can you keep the phrase on the screen for maybe a second after you speak it? I love your lessons, and I'm binging on them this weekend!

Now you are my favorite french teacher. Keep going! Ur videos r so helpful and u don't have that french accent while speaking english. U r awesome! I wanna watch more and more of ur videos! Hope one day u'll make a french "r" pronunciation video)

J'adore ces vidéos! J'étudie le français depuis plus de 10 ans et j'ai toujours du mal à distinguer la différence entre le son "un" comme le chiffre et "in" comme dans le mot "vin." Pourriez-vous faire une vidéo là-dessus ou peut-être vous en avez déjà fait une?

Quelle est la différence entre les sons phonétiques « ɛ̃ » et « œ̃ » ? Comment différencier les voyelles nasales "in" et "un" soit /ɛ̃/ et /œ̃/ ? Merci pour la D2R . Je reprends les réponses de et pour discuter des points qu'ils soulèvent… Contrairement à ce que l'orthographe semble indiquer, in n'est pas un i nasalisé, et un n'est pas un u nasalisé. En tout cas, pas en français contemporain, bien que ça ait certainement commencé comme ça. La principale différence entre les deux phonèmes est que, pour dire un on arrondit légèrement les lèvres ("en cul de poule"), alors que pour in on les tire un peu vers l'arrière, comme un sourire. Si on prononce in en se bouchant le nez, on entend une sorte de è très ouvert, presque un a "à la parigote" : peinte avec le nez bouché sonne presque comme patte avec l'accent d'Arletty. Maintenant, si on se bouche le nez en disant un (pour ceux qui font la différence entre in et un), on entend eu. Pas le participe passé du verbe avoir qui se prononce u, mais la voyelle de peur ou à peu près. La différence entre in et un n'est pas propre au français du Canada, même si les Parisiens l'ont à peu près abandonnée, et que de nombreux Français ne peuvent s'empêcher d'imiter le ridicule français de la télé…

As a Turkish native speaker that was the easiest pronunciation lesson I have ever gotten, bcs we have only 29 sounds in our language and the ones you thaught are u(ou)and ü(u) which are completely different sounds in Turkish :)

Pretty great! I don't know who suggested you do this video but they RULE (pronounced: ROOL)

My friend Paul was hosting a French friend at a baseball game. His team won and he shouted to his friend, "Nous avons vaincu! His friend replied, "Moi, je n'ai qu'un cul."

Magic happens inside 🤣🤣🤣 Thats what she said.lol By the way love your videos. Merci beaucoup🙌

Very helpfult but a quite difficult for a native spanish speaker like me but I have to say that it's so interesting to learn french from english instead of spanish.

Merci, salutations du Venezuela :)

Bonjour le Venezuela :-)

one, the tongue is back and up. the other, the tongue is forward and up. completely different. the back and up vowel is way more similar to the vowel in "saute" or "hotel" (french pronunciation)

Thanks for the video! Although, when I imitate the sounds you're making and I think I'm getting it right (or on the right track) my tongue isn't where you say it should be. Does this mean I am definitely doing it wrong?

I can only do it in a word with my tongue touching my lower teeth, not upper and lower. My sounds of "u" and "ou" is obviously to me different.

can you do a video on tips to properly pronounce the "r" sound?

@lucysullivan7469

3 жыл бұрын

The / ʀ / French is pronounced in the throat, as if we wanted to pronounce / k / or / g /, by making air out on the sides, with the tongue very flat against the lower teeth.

In simpler terms, is u just the nasal version?

Another way to describe it: Say 'ee' with inside the mouth, and HOLD THAT TONGUE POSITION. Then move JUST THE LIPS, to say 'oh'!

This is something I just figured out on my own last week! This video is so great for english speakers. Thanks virginie! Je viens de faire une vidéo sur les faux-amis, mais je ne sais pas si c'est une réussite comme cette vidéo-ci.

Put your mouth/lips in the same position you do to pronounce the letter U (ooh sound in English, like u at the end of the word you) and then say I (eeh sound, like the I sound of the word feet) and that's it!

Could it be OU=OO and U=EWW? Not exactly eww but a little bit similar to eww as in "eww after ou"? Because when I try to put my tongue between upper and lower teeth slightly, I can't even make any sound. ☹️

I didn't had any difficulties with this partly because the sounds are differentiated in Chinese so I could really hear the difference clearly. Came here out of curiosity as the internet was saying this was difficult aside from the French R. Ou = Wu U = Yu

Peut-être qu'il faudrait éviter d'utiliser des mots anglais quand t'essaies d'enseigner à des anglophones à prononcer le Français. Ils vont intuitivement essayer d'utiliser la prononciation anglaise et c'est pas bon du tout.
