      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.

      I’m American. I had never heard of the brand either but when I looked up multiple French sources online I saw that the pronunciation you gave as the French pronunciation isn’t correct. It’s Ja que mus. 3 syllables. I as an English speaker would naturally tend to pronounce it two syllables because Jacques is a common name for people, businesses, and landmarks where I live and it’s only pronounced as one syllable Jawk.

    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.

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.

    • @kitakou

      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.

    • @luikanami
      @luikanami 11 місяців тому +1

      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...

    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)”.

      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.

      @@allywell5579nother option is that he doesn’t ever say some of these brands aloud and this was his first time trying to pronounce it. I have heard of Yves Saint Laurent but it has never come up in conversation for me so I have never actually vocalized it. In the US, I also think how we tend to pronounce brands is largely dependent on how it’s pronounced in the advertisements and in their stores. Some companies change the pronunciation depending on the country. I assume that is why many Brits pronounce Nike as one syllable when it’s two.

    we've seen some slight occasional similarities loom between italian and japanese pronunciation; if there's the chance in the future, the comparisons might surprise someone: usually the accenting and rhythm are waaaaay different (and the word order, reversed!), but the vocal pronunciation of vowels and their "importance" in individual words are similar; in the case of Kun pronunciation, even the average syllabe count is similar. otherwise said, if the listener is drunk enough, the pronunciation of individual words might start to sound somewhat alike

      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.
