After 6 years of learning French I can read almost everything perfectly, but understand very little... But then when a French person speaks, I don't understand anything at all 😂😭
Anna Firnen It’s true, French is a very hard language to understand because it is spoken so fast and there are so many silent letters. However, it’s strange that you understand so little after six years of learning French. I have two years learning French on my own, and I’m understanding many things. What I do is the following: I listen to audiobooks in French and follow the reading, I listen to podcasts, and I also watch cartoons in French. When I started, I wanted to watch movies from the get go, but I realized that movies were too advanced for me because they often times use a lot of slang and colloquial expressions. Hence, I decided to start with cartoons for preschool children. It was hard because those cartoons can be too boring for an adult, but I did it anyway. Now, I’ve realized that I’m understanding everything said in those cartoons, and I’ve started watching more complicated cartoons and movies but that still have children as the target audience. I also watch the news, which uses a more proper and formal language, and I’m understanding a lot as well. A podcast that is really good, for instance, is Coffee Break French. There are also some good UA-cam channels on the subject. I really like comme une française and not even French. Well, I hope this was somewhat helpful. Bonne chance!😊
In London we just call it and pronounce it like "Prette". Never heard anyone use the full name apart from my Chinese colleague who used to call it "Pret a Manager" lol
This made me smile. I think overall they did really well. And at least they tried! We are planning a trip to France in 2023 and I have been studying the basics. It’s really hard for me and I also feel really silly. It doesn’t help that I am Texan so I have a Texas accent with my French. 😂
I hope your trip went well if you have already been! I'm also Texan (DFW area, Austin for a long time) and have been living in France for 5 years now.....O.O I just realized I can start citizenship! I'd better start memorizing. Anyway, if you have not been yet, keep at it! French is tough, but 99% of the people I've met are willing to help as long as we start with Bonjour and at least try a little. I've had many impromptu French lessons in shops with a little spare time. And if you have been, how did it go?
I took some basic French courses years ago and I got most of them right. Unlike English, French has some basic rules that help you guess the pronunciation.
Je suis française, je vois ca et je me dis c'est trop chou tout le monde essaye et après reflexion, on pense que la langue francaise c'est la plus dur a prononcer du monde, mais nous sommes ferme d'esprit. Il existe beaucoup de langues dans le monde qu'en tant que francaise je n'arrive pas a prononcer comme le polonais, le russe, le swahili, le vietnamien etc I'm French, I see that and I tell myself it's so nice everyone is trying and after reflection, we think that the French language is the hardest to pronounce in the world, but we are closed-minded. There are many languages in the world that as French I can't pronounce like Polish, Russian, Swahili, Vietnamese etc.
Bonjour ! Je suis américain, et merci pour votre compréhension ! L'image de la France est bien meilleure avec tant de gens qui comprennent la langue est difficile et essaient d'aider les autres à apprendre.
@@irene8297 Thank God it sounds cute I imagine French is one of the handful of languages us as English speakers butcher when speaking it. I love how French people sound speaking English too💕
Dear lovely French people, I want you to know that I'm in love with your language and do want to learn that so badly. To me, French is a fabulous language and you do have such a marvelous and polite language. It is my third favorite language ever. And, one day, I believe that I will have learned that in advanced. Please wish me luck 'cause it is also too tough. ❤️🤍💙
this was so funny! to be fair, I don't think pronunciation necessarily matters as far as accents go. No one pronounces english words in an American/English accent anyway but learning how to say things the way a native person would is always fun.

Prêt à Manger is not a French brand. It is a British company with a French name - which sounds better than Ready to Eat.
Just came to say that but saw you beat me to the punch 😂
same with costa coffee not being italian but british as well. I guess anything is more exotic than our boring cuisine.
That is really, REALLY good! Next time I cook from friends I'll say I shall be serving Prêt à Manger!
Isn't part of McDonalds, with a fancy sounding name to get more customers?

@Emerald Beauty
Spanish "ll" makes a /j/ sound similar to Italian and French, which is different from a /dʒ/ sound.
@@imnotapollo4188
Depending on the dialect, it can be anything from [j] (English Y) to [ʃ] (sh)

Oh really? I didn't know that. I wonder why this happens since there's a dialect in my language that does the same thing(pronounce words that supposedly have a /j/ sound with a /ʤ/ sound.

There's also quite a few other sounds that ll (and y in most dialects) can make depending on each speaker's dialect: ʎ (the only sound of these that's unique to LL), ʝ, dʒ and ʒ
