He is a French who learnt English. If you do any attempt at learning some foreign languages as a French, you have to understand what you're doing with your mouth and tongue, because some sounds just do not exist in French and you have to put your tongue in weird unnatural places to produce them ! For instance, both English 'th' are a torture test for a French mouth, we can spend years and still be baffled with them. Same with the Japanese "r" - many French people just give up and use "l" instead. Actually, it's quite surprise how many version of the letter "r" exist - even in Europe where the languages stem from a common origin, the French "r", the German "r", the Italian "r" and the Spanish "r" all sound different ! Even in France itself the "r" has a lot of local variations - it rolls a lot more in the south of France (a bit closer to the Italian version), while is more of a throat sound in the eastern part of the country.

@@dangrth I mean... I'm french as well but you don't need to specifically learn the tongue placement to learn a language. After all, immersion learning exist. It's phonetic knowledge and I'm surprised that it comes from someone that doesn't look like a linguist (so, someone who took language structure as their studies). If anything, I'm more used to people having learn a language through immersion (even though I'm doing a linguistic degree) and even though they are able to do the right placement of the tongue, they can't explain it properly with scholar words. And in most case, I would say explaining our own mother tongue movement requires some studies because it comes so naturally for us that we tend to forget it can be difficult for other language speakers depending of their own language. But I don't know much about Alexander, maybe he did study korean for example at university as a degree (if in France it would be like LEA which is also with English studies so making comparison between language phonetics use would be quite common). So I'm talking about someone whom I don't know, could have the proper knowledge about this.

@@dangrth and as I've learned Japanese, I'm pretty surprised to hear that we, french, struggles with the japanese "r". Mostly because I got no problems myself by learning it through immersion when I was 15. But also because we're used to having different prononciation of "r" depending of it's position in a word (start, middle or end of the word). I've heard some french talking in Japanese and the real accent that we can have is with the "Shi", and even with my linguistics studies, I can't explain why... While for sure, English speaking people tends to have a stronger accent in Japanese because of the phonetics, but also because it's metric is strictly different. Putting the emphasis by exemple is a natural ryhtmic in English while Japanese puts "More" (not the English word) and doesn't emphasis much unless it's ん or double consonne like って. EDIT : NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, nowadays french people tend to add a little "sh" at the end of word and it's really frequent in a termination with "i" as in "Merci". So maybe, the 私 accent I've heard back then was because of this 🤔

To be honest for an Italian is quiet easy to pronounce French brands in the right way, most ads are not translated. The Italian TV ads of Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier, Cartier etc... are in French. P.S. I think nobody in Italy would pronounce "jacque" saying the e and an hard G, we all know the correct pronunciation of Jacque (we all know Jacques Villeneuve). I never heard of that brand but an Italian would say "jacq-mus" similar to French.

In Turkiye, we can’t pronounce any of these names, because these expensive brand names people can’t afford to buy. They make the fake products of these brands and even so, they can’t get the name right on fake product. So Dior becomes Diör, Gucci is Guçi, Armani is spelled Amrani ON the fake product! 😂
In Indian languages, you write exactly what you pronounce. Each alphabet consistently makes a constant sound irrespective of where they are used and there are no silent letters in words. So people without prior knowledge and exposure to these brands, usually though American media would be pronouncing their names very differently.

As an Indian I'd say most Indians will enunciate all the words properly. If i assume she speaks Hindi, the language doesn't really have a concept of silent letters. So if you want to know what Indians will sound like, just read it while sounding out each letter lol. Chanel would hardly be pronounced the way it is actually daid in French unless the person already knew how its supposed to be said. A lay person would read it as "channel" as in TV channel or something like that. 😅 Its also good to remember though that India has a bunch of languages so she may not be representative of all the Indians .

The fact that the French like to correct you on your pronunciation/grammar when you're in France may be perceived as impolite by foreigners, but that's not the intention of the French at all. It's just that we (the French) want you to improve and have a better level of French... so if we correct you, it's not a criticism, it's just to make sure you don't make the same mistake next time, to allow you to progress. I think it's a very cultural thing, we tend to focus on what we do wrong so we can do it better the next time (at school, in general, if you have a 19/20, you will concentrate on the point you missed in order to get 20/20 if you retake the exam)

I won't risk it by claming a made up percentage of who is trying to help foreigner to improve, or who does it to improve their ego, but I can affirm it's not uncommon. For myself, I will try to correct someone only if the pronunciation is very bad (to the point it's hard to understand), because I know how diffucult and confusing french might be for others. Also, I don't judge people making little mistakes too hard because that's one of the reason french people aren't good at english : judgement. So basically you've to make a difference between people trying to understand you and quibblers. One is trying to help, the other is rude.

As someone who studied French in France I personally found it very helpful the few times it did happen to me. It's very opposite in the US, where someone can speak a slew of English words in all the wrong order and we just politely and quietly try to decipher what they're saying without actually ever correcting them. Then we wonder why people's English end up so broken when we did literally nothing to help them in the first place because we thought it would've been rude. I think the French have the right idea here.

A problem in the Japanese language is the adjusting of every foreign words into the Katakana syllable writing system, where, except of "N" no single standing consonant sound exists. Because of this, even if people could pronounce the words correctly, putting them in Katakana corrupts that possibility from the start. If for example the last letter in a word is a consonant, the japanese writing system will often add an U, as seen, in Dior, and create a syllable word that looks like "di o ru". This of course also goes the other way around. Our inability to treat syllables equally makes us butcher Japanese brand names horribly as well. Learning Japanese outside of its writing systems does make about as much sense as pressing non-japanese words into japanese writing systems.

Thank you so much for pointing this out. You're so right, and as a (not native) Japanese speaker that's what I've been dying to try to explain to Japanese people for so long! That's for this reason I don't recommend them to use katakana when they learn foreign languages, or they will be extremely limited from the beginning. However I don't agree with the last part of your comment. For western people for exemple, on the contrary, most of the time it's very easy to pronounce Japanese words, whether we know the Japanese writing system or not. In France, outside of its "R", which should be pronounced more like an "L", and maybe some " long O" or "long U" which are not elongated enough (for example in "Tokyo", which should actually be "Tookyoo" or something like that), all Japanese words are transcribed let's say correctly.

I'd say it's very different, depending on the western language you start out in. I've seen people from Poland, France and Italy doing extremely well pronouncing japanese words without ever seing any Hiragana written out. My comment mainly focused on the overall dominating english languaged mainly monolingual world. But in other languages i'd very much agree with you. I'm German and always felt it's (at least in its pronunciation) very easy for Japanese people to learn, not in Katakana though...
@vanessajabbour4659

Since I know how katakana works, all of the Japanese brand names make sense. They take how it actually sounds or how it seems to sound and then translates it phonetically. for example, Chanel is シャネル (sha ne ru). Since every syllable besides n (ン) has a vowel after it, and L doesn’t exist in Japanese, shanel does not work. They use whatever “r” symbol sounds best at the ends of the words, which is almost always “ru (ル)”.

Same. I'm French and I didn't even know this brand. And I naturally pronounced the "s" at the end. As a Southern French, I pronounce more final letters than Northerners.

Jacquemus is an overrated brand. It's only got some attention because of Loic Prigent does a lot of interviews for him, and Gigi did that famous Naomi Campbell hair flip. But yea, the clothes look straight out of Kanye West's Yeezy or Rihanna's flopped Fenty fashion line that LVMH shut down after poor sales. It's minimalistic, monochrome boring colors of just whites, beige, nudes, and mocha, simple designs, nothing that we haven't seen before. For a Parisian house, it should not be featured in Paris Fashion Week, considering Paris is the capital of haute coture, and Jacquemus is clearly prêt-à-porter.

The English Language: a weapon system that we use to communicate meaning daily.

S in French usually silent. And sometimes 90% of letters in the word are silent also :)
I'm french, In 5:34 time when I ear all of this prononciation, I'm close to hear "Je vais en chier" I let you to traduce that, and it's a little bit funny 😁
I did not expect this video to be so nice and funny
In the song "Why Can't The English" from My Fair Lady, there's a line: The French don't care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly. This guy verified that.
Because of what he said at the video, the french guy would have his heart shattered if a Spaniard pronounced this words. 😂
They should have made the French guy speak last to get a more genuine answer from them.
I could have been crushing on Alexander the entire video 😳😂🤦♂️🤷♂️
Von's right that's how we say Cartier in America (card/t-ee-yay). That's our fancy way of saying it with English pronunciation lol. Jacquemus is not familiar to me at all. I would pronounce it like the name Jacque (Juh-awque-moos) if I had to say it.

I’m American but I have heard people say Cartier with the ending as ay rather than yay. Also I would naturally pronounce Jacquemus as two syllables the first sounding like Jawk. I lived most of my life where the first name Jacques isn’t isn’t uncommon for people and place names. So I would associate it with that. Fortier is a common last name there with same ending as Cartier. We say it For tee ay.

The person who say the Japanese word is literally speaking Korean 💀💀

Vonn's pronunciation of Carrier is how I pronounce Cartier 😂😂 Also find a Chinese, it be so fun, for each one of these brands Mandarin would be the farthest 😅
I had lots of fun watching this vid, hahahahahaha!
Hermes is the one brand I couldn’t say right . Whereas every other brand I can say because I learnt French school but Hermes is really hard lol

Jacquemus is a latin word If its for respect etimology and phonetics the most correct is latine way, especially If the Citizen can't pronounce in french mode. In english, jacquemus, means lets lie down. And french cames from latim.

And Nike is a greek word so the correct pronounciation should be [nǐː.kɛː] and not /ˈnaɪki/, but an American name is an American name, not a Greek one. The same for the Japanese Studio Ghibli where Ghibli is an Italian word and the pronunciation is "gi-blee" and not "jiburi".
@Nwk843

Yeah, yep, And then you break down and deceive yourself and deceive lay people if the person cannot pronounce Nike in Statenitan English, mad o, the Greek pronunciation prevails because the English adapted and removed this word from the Greek, in the case of linguistic appropriation, therefore, your hasty layman prevails the Greek pronunciation and not the English one especially in case the person does not speak English. English is a new language that was formed with etymologies of the Greek language, you know, Greek came first, not English, English then comes from Greek. In this sense, there is the example of jacquemus, Latin prevails and not French, the French that came from Latin never the opposite, sequeled. About Ghibli, of course, if the word is Italian, gi-blee prevails and not jiburi, which is from Japanese, forgive japanese people teach italian to them they don't have the european phonetics, nome of them, understand this too. Correct, but before I knew this yet. I work with language and I don't need a little class, you layman know-it-all. I know what I'm talking about, since you speak by assumption and imagination. No more of you and silence if you don't have a new idea to add.
As an Vietnamese, I always say Yuh-ves Saint Laurent and Cartier as car-tier
Italians are humorous
Here's how i pronounce them all: Too Expensive
do it with italian luxury brands
Marylin Monroe and Cardier
Many years ago I remember whilst at the height of his fame, David Beckham went to Japan and his Japanese fans were screaming his name and it was pronounced 'Dabido Beckaram'
Alexander is so bful 😍
Should try "Peugeot", "Citroën" and "Renault"...
In Hermes the s is not mute probably because as a family name it comes from Greek God Hermes
Why is it that Mariko is speaking Korean, and then pronounce the Japanese? Why not speak in Japanese the whole time?

The rest won't be able to understand if she speaks Japanese. She speaks Korean probably because she isn't conversational in English like the others. For your info this channel is based in Korea. All of the guests work and live in Korea hence they all have basic/working proficiency of the language. In times like this Korean acts as a mutual language for everyone.

Just a random comment to say I find the Italian woman beautiful 🥰
In korean most names or brands they put vowel letters depending on their word arrangements in my opinion
Giulia is right, Italians don't say "Jacquemus", but that's because it's a practically unknown brand in Italy.

It's also unknown in France lol I'm French, and I've never heard about this brand.
he said "dior j'adore" but he mixed it up with another brand, it's actually "knorr j'adore" that we have in france not dior lmao
Recommendation: Change background... Green. Oker. Nature....it's to brite if white.😊
What he said is the thing that scares me about learning French. Unlike other countries who will be happy as long as you know how to speak their language, French are notorious for being so strict when it comes to pronunciation and accent. Like, someone from Mexico will be happy if I speak to them in Spanish with a Colombian accent, but French people expect you to sound like them and they'll judge you if you mispronounce a word.😭
I'm Indian and pronunciation is like French (I don't learn French but yeah I do know some phrases in French)
I really wish Von would’ve explained that Americans have alot of french influence in some of our english language as well. Many of these brands americans will prenounce them the french way but with an american english accent.

4:35 the funny thing is, the girl pronouncing the names in Japanese speaks Korean
6:15 The -s at the end must be an exception because the word has Hellenic🇬🇷 origin! I took French lesson for a couple of years in high school and as he said -s at the end of words is always silent and the poor letter -h is always missing from French words😂😂😂 It exist in their alphabet but not in there language😂 So, the name Hermes derived from the name of the Hellene God Ερμής / Ermís. In Hellenic we read every letter in a word so by adopting the name/word they had to adopt its form because it’s a name and not just a random word! So, Ermés sounds very similar to how we pronounce the name Ermís (Ερμής)!!
