When starting out as a beginner, I had trouble making the different "u" and "ou" sounds. After learning the "u" sound, learning to use them in phrases, "la rue du Rouen à Rennes." Combines the difficult-for-beginners "R" and both "u" and "ou" sounds.
I love ALL your videos - such a fantastic resource; one that I frequently dip into. I've learnt so much from you, and continue doing so. Thank you so much.
I am having issues with differentiating un, en, on in my pronunciation. I'm trying to use talk to text to help but I think a proper accent coach with a ruler to rap my knuckles would be helpful, too.
Génial vidéo ! Les mots que sont plus difficiles pour moi, ce sont ceux finitent avec "-ieur" : comme monsieur ou ingénieur. Cette vidéo est très utile, merci beaucoup !
The hardest French word for me to say, sadly, is my father’s family name. It has a dré sound and going from d with the tongue tip, to r in the back, to an open-mouth vowel is like mouth gymnastics!
Dear Geraldine, I am still struggling to pronounce and distinguish on and en when they come together in one sentence. Do you have any tips or word associations that might help me to settle these in my head, please?!?
Hi Geraldine..., it is very difficult to feel the difference between 4 french nasal vowels..., they are very slight..., how to learn them...? Love Michael
They changed the name of my tobacco to "blond blanc", which took me weeks to get near enough to be understood. I also fail to distinguish de from deux.
I always had problems with gare and guerre, especially with "gare routiere", which I would end up saying more like "guerre routierre". Bad habits are hard to break!
Words like 'cours' 'or arbre'..don't even get me started on the verb 'remuer'. the 'r' sound all around is really difficult and feels unnatural in my mouth. that last one literally pains my jaw.
I just discovered your youtube channel today. I grew up speaking Brazilian Portuguese--this has both helped with my vocabulary but affected my accent strongly. It's really hard to unlearn some ways of pronouncing things, and I speak so s-l-o-w-l-y. Ugh
C'est vrai pour moi ! Merci Géraldine ! Pronunciation has always been my downfall. Or they tell me my French is good but mignon avec un petit peu accent !
I can't pronounce vowels without seeing the policeman from 'Allo, Allo' trying to say "I was passing by your door...", but actually saying 'passing' with an 'i' instead of the 'a'.🤭
we say "une bouteille d'eau." "De l'eau" is "some water" -> "Je peux avoir de l'eau ?" ("Can I have some water? / Can I have water ?") "D'eau" is "of water" -> "Un verre d'eau", a glass of water. "Une bouteille d'eau", a bottle of water. I think the subtle / Difficult part comes in between "l'eau" and "de l'eau", in informal everyday speech. "L'eau" is "the water", as in "the whole bottle / jug", while "de l'eau" is "some water", as in "pour me some water in my glasse please" At the table during a meal, for instance: "Tu peux me passer l'eau s'il te plaît ?" / "Can you pass me the water please?" "Tu peux me passer de l'eau s'il te plaît ?" / "Can you pour me some water please?" That's a distinction that even French children take a little while to really understand, but it comes with practice / hearing other people use it.
On dit " de l'eau" quand on a une quantité non déterminée / pas claire, mais "d'eau", par exemple une bouteille / un verre / une carafe d'eau quand la quantité est plus claire (ici : une bouteille, un verre ou une carafe), pour plus d'explications, n'hésitez pas à visionner ma vidéo sur "l'article partitif". :)
Merci pour les conseils.c'est bizarre vous avez le même arrière plan que learn english with christina , les mêmes coussins le même tableau et même elle vous ressemble on dirait hhh.

Thank you, Geraldine! You're so helpful and so good at what you do
I've never clicked on a video notification so fast. Thank you for this video :) It’s awesome
I love ALL your videos - such a fantastic resource; one that I frequently dip into. I've learnt so much from you, and continue doing so. Thank you so much.
Un plaisir de t'écouter!
This is SO useful! I just can't clearly say "un" (as strange it may seems)
hein ? :=)
Thank you french Anne Hathaway. Very helpful.
Vous êtes très bien.❤
C'est génial. Merci beaucoup!!!
Merci beaucoup 🌻
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤

Merci beaucoup pour la leçon. J’apprends plus sur les voyelles.
Thank you so much...

This is helping me so much! Thank you for these videos!
This is priceless.
The difficult thing for me is deciphering what seem like very slight differences between some of these sounds.
Thank you so much! For me the hardest is French "RRR"! I can do Russian and Spanish "R" but I can't do French one.

Un bon vin blanc is the sentence to practice every four nasals together
Merci beaucoup pour cette utile vidéo! Quelle date votre prochain vidéo?
Super comme d'hab !
Good!
The most difficult thing for me is the difference between the sound of 'é' and 'ai+' at the end of a verb. ('happen£D' and 'WAS/USED to' happen).
Love you so much!
Conjuror sounds excellent in french
They changed the name of my tobacco to "blond blanc", which took me weeks to get near enough to be understood. I also fail to distinguish de from deux.
Merci. .
What about the "in" in "Je trouve son innocence incroyable". Why is the pronunciation inconsistant for the 2 words that start with "in"?
Thank you!! :'D
Can you explore the French r sound at the beginning and within words and how to form it, please?
I always had problems with gare and guerre, especially with "gare routiere", which I would end up saying more like "guerre routierre". Bad habits are hard to break!
"Accueillir" in any of its forms - that's a tough one for me.
en un an = in one year
ca c'est horrible :( j'y arrive pas
Si si, vous allez y arriver. :)
Il faut prononcer les N ici (à cause des liaisons), ça devient plus facile à prononcer.
Most difficult words to pronounce for me are écureuil and serrurier !!
Nossa, como o acento dela é difícil de seu inglês.
i know i’m like 3 years late to this haha, but i find ‘voudrais’ so ridiculously hard to say, i keep practising. hopefully one day it’ll be natural..
I can't say "Vannes"
Words like 'cours' 'or arbre'..don't even get me started on the verb 'remuer'. the 'r' sound all around is really difficult and feels unnatural in my mouth. that last one literally pains my jaw.
you may try to do this exercise, it makes wonders :) ua-cam.com/video/8OkchsEi0kk/v-deo.html
Lauren Palumbo i feel the same with the r...geraldine should make an "r" video ha!
I just discovered your youtube channel today. I grew up speaking Brazilian Portuguese--this has both helped with my vocabulary but affected my accent strongly. It's really hard to unlearn some ways of pronouncing things, and I speak so s-l-o-w-l-y. Ugh
Je ne peux pas prononcer le mot grenouille!
I can't say heure at all no matter how I try :( Love your videos though. Merci
The R sound is my problem.Am a Ghanaian
Nasals are the most difficult
Non, ce n'est pas difficile, c'est juste une question d'entraînement. :)
I have problem with my R prononciation especially when the world is like this .......pre or pré
C'est vrai pour moi ! Merci Géraldine ! Pronunciation has always been my downfall. Or they tell me my French is good but mignon avec un petit peu accent !
rurale as in 'la vie rurale'. The 2 'r's in succession need concentration.
The hardest? Au dessou, puce/pouce airport
I can't pronounce vowels without seeing the policeman from 'Allo, Allo' trying to say "I was passing by your door...", but actually saying 'passing' with an 'i' instead of the 'a'.🤭
Comment est qu'on s'a mordu par une girafe Geradine? :)
Upi haha ...that is funny. It was just to show pronouncation! But the image is funny!
haha! I know. so funny. Especially how she said it just got me cracking
le plus difficile c'est le u , p,
Squirrel. How the heck do you say that? I always forget..but remember that it was weird to say.
Frog🐸
La rue....i always feel off when i say that word! Ha!
Je ne comprends pas la différence entre de l'eau et d'eau:
*Je veux acheter une bouteille de l'eau.
*Je veux avoir un verre d'eau.
Merci de reprendre.
we say "une bouteille d'eau."
"De l'eau" is "some water" -> "Je peux avoir de l'eau ?" ("Can I have some water? / Can I have water ?")
"D'eau" is "of water" -> "Un verre d'eau", a glass of water. "Une bouteille d'eau", a bottle of water.
I think the subtle / Difficult part comes in between "l'eau" and "de l'eau", in informal everyday speech.
"L'eau" is "the water", as in "the whole bottle / jug", while "de l'eau" is "some water", as in "pour me some water in my glasse please"
At the table during a meal, for instance:
"Tu peux me passer l'eau s'il te plaît ?" / "Can you pass me the water please?"
"Tu peux me passer de l'eau s'il te plaît ?" / "Can you pour me some water please?"
