    You're doing great ! As a French girl, I think I am able to tell you and so, I tell you : your pronounciation is very good (:
    Personnaly, I am learning to sing Kpop songs (so in Korean) by doing this : first, I speak the lyrics slowly and without singing, to catch the good way to pronounce it. Then I speak/sing the lyrics, like, it's still speaking but in rhythm and faster. After, I try to sing along the song but in reduced speed and finally, I sing it normaly, in normal speed. I know your video is to learn French songs but I think the way I learn Korean songs works for French too (;

    j’adooore cette chanson. Je viens du Québec et d’une famille anglophone mais mes parents m’ont envoyé à une école français. I used to hate french class (and still do a bit tbh) but i’m actually thankful that they sent me to french school because it’s very useful when living in a bilingual city

  • @hehealeththebrokeninheartp6472

    These are great tips maybe for more advanced people. If you're a beginner,. you should listen to the words, the sounds and just try and sing along and pronounce the words correctly without looking at the translations first. You need to get used to the words and how they sound. It's just like a baby, a baby listens and tries to pronounce words first, they don't read or understand translations until later.

    @mchobbit2951 Před 5 lety

    I know all the words to many French songs (Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai, La Vie en Rose etc.) and I can recite them with decent prononciation. You wouldn't confuse me for French. My problem is that I just can't sing and always wish I could. Listening to a recording of me singing anything would be akin to torture.
    Do be careful with things that are not pronounced as expected. A lot of usually silent letters are pronounced in songs when it helps the rhythm of the song. Of course do it when singing,
