    I especially love the exercise where Geraldine shows the difference in pronouncements of E É È with the movement of the mouth from "O"😮 into variation of a smile☺😄. That made an excellent point and now it will be easy to remember 😀👍

    great lesson Geraldine, the repeat and practice was perfect, also the faster more french spoken is the best for me to practice plus listening to the different speeds helps me to understand when people speak, this I find so difficult. Thank you

    This is an awesome explanation but is there a site that gives a more comprehensive list of the words with the e sound in words like je, le, te? As opposed to the words with the other two e sounds? Or which lists all the rules to distinguish all three e sounds?

  • @Erik_Emer
    @Erik_Emer Před 2 lety +3

    I think I should mention that there're 2 other pronunciations that don't exactly match up with what's taught anywhere.
    /e/ also sounds like /a/ in adverbs ending in -emment (basically a spelling variation of -ammant): fréquEmment, antécédEmment
    /é/ sounds like /è/ when it's in a closed syllable, basically meaning if /é/ is followed by an audible consonant sound not followed by vowel, it's pronounced /è/: évÉnement (é-VÉNE-ment, *n* is audible because of the *e* (that's omitted) and followed by another consonant sound), mÉdecin (MÉDE-cin). Please note that due to the 1990 reforms allow the original and the new pronunciation respelling, so it's either événement (é) or évènement (è).

  • @migstrives
    @migstrives Před rokem

    So general rules for the three es:
    e/eu/eux
    e(aigu)/e(aigu)e/er
    e(grave)/ai/es/e(circumflex)/ett
    A pattern I noticed: When e is the second to the last vowel before the last syllable (usually te or re), the e becomes grave when normally it is aigu.
    Just my two cent euros. You're all welcome to criticize.

  • @philippenachtergal6077

    I think the ê of fête is meant to be a long è sound [fɛːt].
    Linguist will also distinguish between the e ([ə] ) sound in "petit" or "je" from the e ( [œ] ) in "Soeur", "jeune" or "beurre". Both [ə] and [œ] are quite different from the "eu" [ø] sound from "jeu" or "eux" or "jeûne". The "eu" [ø] sound pretty much always require the spelling "eu".
    But there are strong regional variations, even the ê gets pretty much pronounced é in Liège

    • @claramkc
      @claramkc Před 2 lety

      Hey, the ê isn't really meant to be a long è sound, most of the time it's just to mark that there was an "s" in the word in ancient french like "feste" (feast ;)) for fête. There is "ê" that are pronounced é like "gêné", "vêtue", "grêlon" !

    • @philippenachtergal6077
      @philippenachtergal6077 Před 2 lety

      @@claramkc Yeah I know. It was just a comment about fête.
      Short or long comes more from the structure of the word but there is a certain correlation. Normal/Short in belle, pelle, blette. Long in bêle, frêle, quête. This being said, the difference can be subtile and will not always show up when written in phonetic.
      (Lookup bêle and belle in the wiktionnaire and they'll both be noted the same \bɛl\ but listen to the pronunciation and you'll hear the difference.)

      @@juandiegovalverde1982 qu'appelles-tu les e "caducs" ? les e muets ? En général, je les prononce plus appuyés que dans le français standard. Ils sont plus sonores. un peu comme si l'accent tonique n'était pas au même endroit dans le mot.

    In addition to pronunciation, can you also in future explain French prosody =
    rhythm, stress, intonation ? The unique
    French prosody is a large part of spoken
    language.
    Merci beaucoup.

    What's the difference : Comme une française / Commune française ?

    • @Fiddler1990
      @Fiddler1990 Před 2 lety +1

      "(une) commune française" = (a) French town (or French commune). "Comme une Française" (with a majuscule) = Like a French woman.
      It's the same pronunciation though! Mostly. Some people might say the "o" in "commune" is deeper / more closed ("o fermé"), while "o" in "comme" is more open / sharper ("o ouvert"). But it's subtle, and just like "open / close e", it depends on people and the specific sentence, so let's say it's the same pronunciation.
