      It's not about pronoucing the letters, but inflating in another segment of the word. English sometimes inflate in the begining of some words ( CatASTrophe ), while we do it, always, in the end of the word ( CatastrOPHe ). So it goes against, well, everything we learned, basically.

The only time we accentuate is when we ask questions, which is common in a most languages. This contrasts with how the English language is spoken. So when British or American people speak French they tend to accentuate certain syllables which to French people sounds like they're trying to be sexy.

Just then, Amy started to take off Sonic's tuxedo and unbutton his shirt. Sonic stopped her for a second. "Amy I think you and I both know where this is going. And I want to make sure that you want to do this". Amy just smirked at him and kept unbuttoning his shirt. "I guess that's a yes" sonic said smirking. Sonic was sitting at the end of the bed and Amy was right in front of him now, unbuttoning his pants. When she removed his pants , It was now obvious that sonic had a boner. Amy rubbed her hands on his "membrane" over his boxers, which made sonic moan, then removed his boxers, which revealed Sonic's membrane. Amy was shocked. Sonic's member was about 8.5 inches long and 2.5 inches thick. She looked up at sonic and bit her lip while giving him a smirk. She started at the head. She sucked it and licked it and rubbed her hands along it, jerkin off sonic. Sonic was impressed. He didn't think Amy would know how to do this, but Amy was pleasing him. She bobbed her head up and down faster and faster with a moan coming out of sonic each time. Amy was enjoying herself and so was sonic. "Ohhhhh my GOD Ames, how the hell did you learn this stuff!?" Amy just kept going. She even Surprised sonic by deep throughing him. Sonic held Amy's head there for a few seconds then released. "Amy. OH MY GOD AMY! DON'T STOP DOING THAT! " a few minutes later, sonic said , "AMY IM GONNA CUM!" And with that, sonic released his sperm on Amy's face, which Amy licked up.

      Sevan Fuscellaro wtf i learned english, french and spanish and english is by far the easiest language to learn. the reason is, that english grammar has almost no conjugation, out of my head to be is the only one adapting to the form of the subject.A huge facilitator, in comparison to roman language, is that english verbs are mostly regular in the same each own tense( yes there are some verbs which differ in simple past and present perfect but its minimal). further there is just one article. if you ever tried to learn french have fun with all the accents and with spanish try do differentiate the two simple past ways(indefinido and imperfecto).
      i personally would say learning spanish simple past is as learning english in a total but that is super subjective.

      You are pronouncing it incorrectly, then. In British English, Lieutenant is pronounced lefftennant.

      It's because the video is about French people trying to pronunciate French words as Americans do, and it's clearly not the same pronunciation in both languages :))

    • @skylightk2129
      @skylightk2129 Před 6 lety +106

      @psychrolutesmarcidus2455 Před 6 lety +2

      moorek1967 CZcams know... French have a multiplicity and diversity of accents to: "parisien", "du nord", "du sud", "marseillais", "toulousain" etc... for exemple with toulousain accent all the O sounds like "a" (especially when it shouldn't 😂)
      In this video the peoples speak with a parisian/commun accent. It will probably be completely different with someone from South of France...
      And...well... as French we can't ear the difference between all the american accents so... x)

    Here’s one: In my state there’s a town named Versailles. I pronounced it the French way and was corrected on how to pronounce it. It’s Ver-sails. My state has a lot of French cities because the French used to own the land and a lot of the pronunciation is definitely interesting!
