the bird/oiseaux one gets me every time. for anyone who doesn't know, oiseaux is "bird" and it uses I think every vowel in the French language but you pronounce *none of them*. English may be 3 languages in a trench coat shanking other languages in back alleys for spare vocab, but French is a fuckin psych ward patient lmao
I an see the shifty guy now just being confused. Hey french, I need a few words. Sure for what? A drink that can kill you Poisson? Sure poison. Now for when your letters don't have a cap Cap? Do you mean accents? No letting calls them serrif Oh sans And those creatures that swim in that lake. Poison Ok poi..... without whqt? Just poison Poi without poison?...... I think Poi is enough. Poi? Un poison sans poisson? No french, we are not naming it tat that's for sure.
I will never understand that argument of "you pronounce none of them" like.... At no point are you supposed to pronounce individual letters. It's like saying that you don't pronounced the vowel in "through" or in "keychain". You're pronouncing the combination of the vowel so the word "oiseaux" makes perfects sense since the "oi" always makes the "wa" sound and the "eau" always makes the "o" sounds. So "oiseau" is pronounced exactly how the grammar rules says it should be pronounced, unlike in english where "ough" can have 5 different prononciations for no apparent reason or rule.

It's just another mindset to have towards several things. French language is also meant to be understandable and accurate when written.

I am from belgium and i learn french. But the number 99: in french you say " quatre vingt dix neuf " but in belgium i have also learn that you can also say Nonante neuf for 99. Nonante neuf is much shorter and is easy to pronounced. quatre vingt dix neuf (French) = Nonante neuf (Belgium French)
French: Voyez le ver vert verse un verre vers un verrier vers vingts heure English: See the green worm pour a glass to a glassmaker around twenty o'clock
There's one too many "vers". "Verser un verre vers un verrier" is not correct French, you "verse un verre à quelqu'un", not "vers quelqu'un". Also it's "vingt heures", the "s" is at the end of "heure", not "vingt". It's still silent, though - but because it's not at the end of vingt, the t links with "heure", because this is a silent h, so it's pronounced "vinteure". Simple.
Ooooh french has so many fun rules, most of which can be summarized in "This rule is about the same for every words/verb/adjective/Whatever, changing perhaps a bit depending on some factors (what letter it start or ends with, gender, place/role in the sentence, tense...). Other than that, it applies most if not all the time and it doesn't change... Except for this list of exceptions that you just have to know, there isn't any logic to it. In which case, you have to do something else entirely."
Just started German, can’t figure out why the word “girl” is masculine but ONLY when using “the”. When using “a”, it’s feminine. Really looking forwards to asking about that tomorrow.
Don't worry, us English speakers don't understand our language either. I've always been confused by colonel being pronounced kernel. And why can't we just have one letter making one sound? "C" is totally useless. It makes the sound of s or k. G sometimes sounds like j, etc. That's why the popular advice to "sound it out" never works. There are usually over seven ways to pronounce a word.
I learned French for 3 years in secondary school. I cannot even begin to describe how accurately this encapsulates my overall experience with the language. Bravo! This parody is amazing
@@lthcthemaster3273 personnellement, lorsque je suis arrivée en France (j'avais 10 ans) , et en 1-2ans je parlais parfaitement le français et je faisais partie des 4 premiers de la classe.
As someone who was learning French for 6 years and can barely ask "what time is ir" i must say that you are such a wit I cannot even comprehend that. The level of work and effort put in all your videos is just incredible. You make me cry laughing!
It's actually an easy sentence to pronounce :) But you should try those! "Les chaussettes de l'archi-duchesse sont-elles sèches, ou archi-sèches ?" "Suis-je chez ce cher Serge ?" "Un généreux déjeuner régénérerait des généraux dégénérés" "Un chasseur sachant chasser doit savoir chasser sans son chien"
“This is 4x20+19” Imagine the birthday wishes on someone’s ninety ninth birthday in France.. “ HAPPY 4x20+19 BIRTHDAY GRANDMA, here’s you cake” The writing on the cake: happy 4x20+19th birthday”
Well, since nineteen is technically split into "ten-nine", 99 is actually pronounced "four-twenties-ten-nine". Also once you get to 70 it's "sixty-ten, sixty-eleven, sixty-twelve" all the way to "sixty-ten-nine" (79). Pardon me for correcting a Frenchman, but it's one of my favorite fun facts from learning French in school. The song is freaking great though.
Seriously, I love this so much! Great depiction of all the sufferings I underwent learning French for two and a half years! This is great work though! I love and enjoy your videos!
Hi, I am Italian speaker... There are a lot of irregular things in French, but in English, too! I almost find German easier, there are not so many irregular and exceptions... But I say this because maybe it is the first foreing language we learnt... and we have to learn it well, because when you are 15-16 you move from the Italian part of Switzerland to the German part...
@@millieandmars5248 i m french so i know. I enjoy english irregulars verbs. In french, that will be very dificult for english people. (Bad english, sorry^^)
If we’re all being honest here, this song also works for English too. In English there are tongue twisters, which will sound confusing for non-English speakers. We also have homonyms, which is basically two words that are spelt the same, but have totally different meanings. Like, Date\Match\Cool\Lie\Spring. And sooo many more…
I mean, English is French and German's baby. our rules are just both languages squished together with random parts thrown out. So of course there are similarities.

As a native French studying in the french school system, the students stop learning how to actually use the language correctly after grade 10. Proof that the language is also hard to completely get for the natives 😂. But honestly try it, it would be a nice challenge for you and french is a beautiful language.

@@savemeimanobodylostonline4279 the worst about that is that "œil" and "yeux" are completely regular evolutions from the latin word for eye and its plural
0:42 this is also with the German language, here is an example: Ein Tisch, eine Tür “Ein” is often used for masculine words and “eine” for feminine words like ein Mann, eine Frau
O = [o] Au = [o] Eau = [o] Aux = [o] Eaux = [o] Haut = [o] Oh / Ho = [o] Ô = [o] Aulx = [o] (pluriel de "ail" pour les français qui ne connaissaient pas 😉)
Pour être honnête, si le français fait sens... d'un point de vue étymologique, vu que beaucoup de nos règles d'orthographe sont hérités de nos deux principales racines (grec et latin) XD Sauf qu'après, il faut rajouter un soupçon d'influence germanique, quelques pincées de gaélique celtique continental... et autres tout petits ingrédients XD Et pour le vers qui verse un verre créé par un verrier à vingt heure vingt... ça s'appelle un virelangue, donc une phraqe intentionnellement faîte de façon à être compliquée ou confusante à prononcer ! Il faut donc s'appliquer sur tous les sons, ce qui en fait un excellent excercice de prononciation X) Par exemple, un très célèbre virelangue est “Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles sèches, archi-sèches ?”

0:12 As a native French, I confirm that point, except the famous "exceptions" are more uncountable than the rules themselves (only the folks who had "grammaire" class can understand the full meaning of this comment).
Ah yes, I remember all those names just to classify what kind of adjective we are using and most importantly those world were at the end it's "-aux" in plural but "-s" only for some other. Grammar in French classes were really funny (as a native speaker of French, I totally understand why others country struggles to learn it)
As a dutch person who had french class for 3 years in highschool I can remember that almost every lesson we learned about new grammar we also learned at least one new exception.
Actually the main reason that french isn't dying and is instead actually climbing the language chart is that it's one of the most spoken European languages on the African continent. And population is rising fast here, rising the popularity of French in the process.
So, a couple of years ago I was in Brittany at a family orientated horse racing day. Whilst there I went to the bar to get some water and the bartender could not understand what I wanted. After a while and a lot of pointing I got my water. When I got back to our group and related the story it was met with laughter and was told I was asking for an egg.
I'm French and I study languages sciences at university so your videos are funny but also interesting for me. In fact I study how languages are created, why they are different... and then while studying other languages you realize how hard French is, even for us native speakers 😂
I found it much easier to learn Latin first and then go back to French. French (even the spelling) makes A LOT MORE SENSE once you have Latin under your belt and get a sense of how sounds change over time.
0:17 as a Belgian, I don't say "quatre-vingt-dix-neuf" for 99, I say "Nonante neuf" which is, sorry French friends, more logic and understandable :') (Nonante neuf is litteraly like in English, ninety-nine)

I remember at school having negative marks at dictation because of all the rules in French and the spelling of the words. Je hais la dictée 🤬
French is the only Subject beside chemistry, where i have no idea what i am doing

I am from belgium and i learn french. But the number 99: in french you say " quatre vingt dix neuf " but in belgium i have also learn that you can also say Nonante neuf for 99. Nonante neuf is much shorter and is easy to pronounced. quatre vingt dix neuf (French) = Nonante neuf (Belgium French)

@@mysincerestcondolences exactly... or twenty hundred hours.
@@user-dn9gm4oi1p what
There's one too many "vers". "Verser un verre vers un verrier" is not correct French, you "verse un verre à quelqu'un", not "vers quelqu'un".
Also it's "vingt heures", the "s" is at the end of "heure", not "vingt". It's still silent, though - but because it's not at the end of vingt, the t links with "heure", because this is a silent h, so it's pronounced "vinteure".
Simple.

Ooooh french has so many fun rules, most of which can be summarized in "This rule is about the same for every words/verb/adjective/Whatever, changing perhaps a bit depending on some factors (what letter it start or ends with, gender, place/role in the sentence, tense...). Other than that, it applies most if not all the time and it doesn't change... Except for this list of exceptions that you just have to know, there isn't any logic to it. In which case, you have to do something else entirely."
basically sums up the whole language
Agreed
This sums up basically every language actually...
Just started German, can’t figure out why the word “girl” is masculine but ONLY when using “the”. When using “a”, it’s feminine. Really looking forwards to asking about that tomorrow.
You also have some "logical" exceptions, words to which the rule doesn't apply for a particular reason. BUT there are often exceptions to that to lmao
I'm motivated to learn French just to sing this song
I love so many parts but the beginning with his dog gets me every time.
Also french: "letters have feelings"
...and thats why we decided to make a new rule!
As a native speaking French person, I couldn’t agree more, even us French people make fun of our own language lol

Don't worry, us English speakers don't understand our language either. I've always been confused by colonel being pronounced kernel. And why can't we just have one letter making one sound? "C" is totally useless. It makes the sound of s or k. G sometimes sounds like j, etc. That's why the popular advice to "sound it out" never works. There are usually over seven ways to pronounce a word.
I learned French for 3 years in secondary school. I cannot even begin to describe how accurately this encapsulates my overall experience with the language. Bravo! This parody is amazing

Brice is a table now ?!
Oui mdr 🤣
Quand on regarde d’un œil extérieur c’est tout de suite moins naturel 😅

How many of them are you?
Well, since nineteen is technically split into "ten-nine", 99 is actually pronounced "four-twenties-ten-nine". Also once you get to 70 it's "sixty-ten, sixty-eleven, sixty-twelve" all the way to "sixty-ten-nine" (79). Pardon me for correcting a Frenchman, but it's one of my favorite fun facts from learning French in school.
The song is freaking great though.
Dix-neuf is nineteen, not ten nine. It's just the construction wich put them in that order.

That was just perfect and just, trust me, I’m French and it’s just impossible to count the rule of French or the number of irregular verbs

Hi, I am Italian speaker... There are a lot of irregular things in French, but in English, too! I almost find German easier, there are not so many irregular and exceptions... But I say this because maybe it is the first foreing language we learnt... and we have to learn it well, because when you are 15-16 you move from the Italian part of Switzerland to the German part...
@@millieandmars5248 i m french so i know. I enjoy english irregulars verbs. In french, that will be very dificult for english people.

@@millieandmars5248yes, past form, when we can t add "Ed", like Be, Have, Draw, Eat, Can, ... But at school for a no native.
If we’re all being honest here, this song also works for English too. In English there are tongue twisters, which will sound confusing for non-English speakers. We also have homonyms, which is basically two words that are spelt the same, but have totally different meanings. Like, Date\Match\Cool\Lie\Spring. And sooo many more…
I think every language have them...
I mean, English is French and German's baby. our rules are just both languages squished together with random parts thrown out. So of course there are similarities.
English even has words that are exactly the same but have opposite meanings. "Solemn", for example
@@TamunaTsertsvadzeFrench kinda has that too, "personne" means someone and no one at the exact same time, though due to french grammar you can tell which is which

As a native French studying in the french school system, the students stop learning how to actually use the language correctly after grade 10. Proof that the language is also hard to completely get for the natives 😂. But honestly try it, it would be a nice challenge for you and french is a beautiful language.
Sounds like they need to re make the language times have changed...languages can.........😤😭😮💨😎😅
Grade 10 according to french counting or according to literaly everyone elses counting? (For context the french classes count "Backwards" for some reason.
@@prinzeszelda3650 I meant grade 10 for everyone else’s counting. If you translate it to french school system I meant 2nde.
@@prinzeszelda3650 Not only do we count backwards but we only start in middle school with 6th, pre-school and primary school years have names. And numbers. But in the right order.

The fact that he used bo burnham's song "welcome to the internet" for this parody made me like him 10x better😂
I'm surprised he still hasn't made a joke about the word "Hache" which is literally pronounced like the letter "H"!
Actually it's pronounced.
We say "la hache" and not "l'hache", and "les haches" is pronounced "lé ach" not "lézach".
So basically it is
Like queue in English
I’m personally wondering why he didn’t call out the logic of “les yeux” but “un œil”
@@savemeimanobodylostonline4279 the worst about that is that "œil" and "yeux" are completely regular evolutions from the latin word for eye and its plural

Pour être honnête, si le français fait sens... d'un point de vue étymologique, vu que beaucoup de nos règles d'orthographe sont hérités de nos deux principales racines (grec et latin) XD
Sauf qu'après, il faut rajouter un soupçon d'influence germanique, quelques pincées de gaélique celtique continental... et autres tout petits ingrédients XD
Et pour le vers qui verse un verre créé par un verrier à vingt heure vingt... ça s'appelle un virelangue, donc une phraqe intentionnellement faîte de façon à être compliquée ou confusante à prononcer ! Il faut donc s'appliquer sur tous les sons, ce qui en fait un excellent excercice de prononciation X)
Par exemple, un très célèbre virelangue est “Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles sèches, archi-sèches ?”
I am dieing of laughter over here 🤣 this is exactly why learning French in Canadian schools at a young age can be so intimidating!

0:12 As a native French, I confirm that point, except the famous "exceptions" are more uncountable than the rules themselves (only the folks who had "grammaire" class can understand the full meaning of this comment).
Ah yes, I remember all those names just to classify what kind of adjective we are using and most importantly those world were at the end it's "-aux" in plural but "-s" only for some other.
Grammar in French classes were really funny (as a native speaker of French, I totally understand why others country struggles to learn it)
That word "grammaire" still makes me shudder like when you take a precautionary whiff of potentially sour milk and realize yes, yes it is.
As a dutch person who had french class for 3 years in highschool I can remember that almost every lesson we learned about new grammar we also learned at least one new exception.

French is growing faster than most of any other languages and it will eventually become one of the three most spoken ones one day
Actually the main reason that french isn't dying and is instead actually climbing the language chart is that it's one of the most spoken European languages on the African continent.
And population is rising fast here, rising the popularity of French in the process.

I'm French and I study languages sciences at university so your videos are funny but also interesting for me. In fact I study how languages are created, why they are different... and then while studying other languages you realize how hard French is, even for us native speakers 😂
