As a French teacher, I can highly recommend this video. It lays out the material in a sensible way, for instance by noting the exceptions as soon as the rule was introduced.

Great video! The liaison can be so tricky for us non-natives. I always mess up when words start with an "h" like les haricots verts. I hear people do a liaison and say lezzz haricots so that's how I learned it but it's not correct. Sometimes it's hard to know what's correct when even French people make mistakes!

That is because there are two "h" in French. the "h muet" (liaison is required, exemple les hommes) and the "h aspiré" (liaison is forbidden, as in the cases of :les haricots, les héros. The "h aspiré" bans the liaison and the elision. That's why we say in singular le haricot, le héros and not l'haricot or l'héros.

French founders had no idea about what the goal of a writing system is. these systems are made to help people to read and write not to make them disable in reading and writing. their writing system has a very strong tendency to ambiguity instead of clarity. it seems they wished that nobody can neither read nor write. they had to hire a german to make a real system for them and save their people from facing this madness every single day.

Though the rules only become second nature over time with practice and use, it’s really not that that exotic or strange a language phenomenon. We English speakers use liaisons too whenever we contract words: don’t, can’t, shouldn’t, I’d, he’d. For some reason contractions in English are considered improper, “lazy” and are never or rarely used in formal writing, though this rule has been relaxed considerably in the last few decades, e.g., compare articles in newspapers or magazines written in the 1950s and even into the 1980s with those written today. Perhaps like many other things in life, the French are more accepting of human nature. To wit: _England has always been disinclined to accept human nature._ - E.M. Forster, _Maurice_

Great explanation. It would be better if the white board is clear. The board is not visible properly

Coucou Pierre Chapeau !! Voici deux exemples un peu dur à prononcer correctement chez les anglophones... Ils sont and ils ont

@ Le prof - "Les enfants arriveront par ici" ... isn't this just an extension of the earlier "s" rule you mentioned in this video? I don't really get why this is categorised differently.

Hi, could you please explain the liaison for cinq cents euros? Do we do the liaison between cents and euros? I am receiving conflicting answers and advice.

good video, it's very useful. but plz upload clarity writing.

Comment pouvez-vous expliquer la liaison "comment allez-vous?" ?

Both pronunciations are correct. I usually don't use the liaison

5:05 you don't have to or can or may not say it...?

As an English speaker of French, may I point out something which is very difficult to get our mouths and tongues to do? It's concerning your very first example of a liaison: un grand arbre. The usually silent d in 'grand' is pronounced because of the liaison BUT to our English ears we have to make a soft 't' sound NOT a hard 'd' sound. This is so difficult to do. I have been in a class of advanced students in French and we all had a) trouble with even knowing that we had to make the liaison and b) we all found it's so hard to make the d sound come out of our mouths as an unaspirated t. The position of the tongue is the key to success.

For example in « Il est un chat » would there be a liaison between est and un so it sounds like Ayt-un?

The thing I find most difficult is knowing when NOT to make the liaison.

How would "un chat et un chien" be pronounced, then?

Vous avez écrit « avez-vous essayer ». Pourtant, vous auriez dû l’écrire « avez-vous essayé ».

Me watching this video on phone screen and trying to read the board 😳😳😳

5:51 I find it amusing that we basically have the same thing in English, except the words don't just sound the same, they are the same. The phrase "very gay" can mean either "really happy" or "too sissy" depending on context (and whether or not the speaker is an asshole).

Moi je ne savais pas que l’on pouvait faire la liaison après les verbes -er, ça fait un peu poétique

Hello professor Bonjour professeur Please could you write in big letters. Your writing is too small and it is not clear. Thanks a lot.

“Delay of the sound” is not confusing for people who speak English well. In English, a similar rule also exists. If the former word ends with a consonant and the later word starts with a vowel, you will "connect" them. For example, "the trial ended in a guilty verdict". "Ended" and "in" must be connected. The pronunciation is "ende din". It's a little bit different from the French, but I think English speakers could easily understand the rule. However, the liaison in general is really tricky for French learners. The major issue is that most consonants in the end of the words wouldn't be pronunced. But when you do liaison, you will have to pronunce it. It's really really confusing. In English, the last consonant will be pronunced anyway, so it's natural to "connect" the sound.

👎🏽 Evonne p, no, “ended in” properly enunciated has no liaison in English, unless it is lazy English. Each word is spoken separately and distinctly; there is no prescribed liaison or slurring of the syllables between these two words.
