All French people are like that! we get it wrong, we get it wrong; we admit it, shrug and move on. why are Americans such scaredy cats? You are worse than Japanese scared of your own shadow scared of asking a woman out scared all the time: it is boring and unattractive.
Hell, even for someone who considers English as a second language, I find that word to be utterly difficult to pronounce without stumbling on a few syllables.
The second one has more consistent rules and it comes from Greek, so the French have a cognate word almost exactly like it just pronounced with different (but both-ways consistent) rules. Thorough is a Germanic word, not closely related to anything in French, and since the loss of an actual gh sound spelt with the well known cursed ‘ough’, which is very irregular in English.
It's because that's more similar to French that "thorough" which is very difficult to pronounce for us because of the "-th" we never really know if it's pronounced -ze/-te/-zi/-s/or -f . it is quite mindfucking 😂 psychophysicotherapeutics in French is psychophysicothérapeutique so as difficult as the English one but sound the same (just say your word with a French accent and that's it 😂)
I'm french, so I heavily relate to them. We don't have "th" sounds so it's not always easy. I'd say the only trick question here was "Jelewer" which is dumb as fuck, it's similiar to how the English people say "Wednesday", like.... What happened here? If your prononciation evolved, make the written form evolve too, it's fine.
@@ManekaAgarwal-YOU pronounce it Wenzday. You are doing it wrong. Like most languages, English has many quirks. The important thing is to be understood.
Yes I can’t get a French accent to sound good I just sound American and it’s so hard to memorize the numbers like “soixante-dix”are you kidding me? Lol I don’t think many other languages have seventy as sixty-ten
As a British person, a lot of native English speakers don't realise how difficult it is as a language and how lucky we are to understand it. Try explain to a foreigner how you pronounce "Bought", "Through" and "Caught".
I am from India. We were taught English since grade 1. Therefore imo, one can be fluent in any language which was taught to them since childhood. Though pronounciation may be different compared to native speakers, proficiency in writing can be as good as native speaker.
Nah mate, English is way easier than French or German. Trust me. I am not saying it is "easy" but definitely easier. French pronunciation will f you up and German grammar is hell. Italian's grammar exceptions will test your memory and that beautiful singing melody is not easy to learn. Spanish is OK though.
@@ArseneGray Well I agree with german. But english was hard for my mum to learn (its not her native language), and she always told me how lucky i was to grow up with it and learn it fluently.
@@ArseneGray I'd actually say French pronunciation is pretty logical once you've learned it. Of course there are irregularities, but it's not that many. The problem is just that the rules of how to pronounce it are very different from a lot of other languages which may come to mind, such as English, German, Spanish, etc. Though, as a German: Our grammar is in the lowest of the nine circles of hell
« é » as the « e » in « hey » « cu » with the « u » like the german « ü » « reuil » with the « eu » pronounced like « uh » and the « l » being silent É-CÜ-RUHY
that one's actually pretty easy. You can get away with pronouncing it "wah-soe" and do fine. It's not the exact pronunciation, but for a native English speaker, it's good enough.

The squirrel one is funny because écureuil (squirrel) is one of the hardest words for native English speakers to get when speaking French. It’s impossible in every language.

I had a cousin who bought a car after graduating from college. This was in 1991. She described it as a Cavalier Chevrolet 1991 wit hair conditioner. At the time, I was still in university and had a 1982 Cavalier and was in awe of modern technology. Mine had a block eater though.
As a French Canadian, I like when english people say word in english. Some of them go it right some of them are just funnier. The best thing I like about you guys is when you saying the word: Bonjour (hi in french).
right it's a physical activity as much as an intellectual one and I've noticed that just as a with physical activity, I get better after warming up as a non native speaker, when I do English, my accent sucks less 2-4 minutes in than it did at the very beginning
Yeah, but… not really. Different languages do require different jaw movements etc, that’s the reason non-native speakers will never talk as natives. However, examples in this vids are mostly from people who didn’t even study english properly (which is completely fine). They weren’t just having problems with pronunciation, they couldn’t even read the words properly. I, for example, know this words and can pronounce them correctly even though my mother tongue is very far from English. It might sound a bit off, sure, but nothing like square friend.
When I was learning French, I spent my first summer out of university working as a Chamber Maid in Québec City. My supervisor was trying to learn English and we traded helpful hints. I remember going around with my cart repeating the word "débarbouillettes". No matter how hard I tried, it didn't come out right.
Jeweller used to have two ll's because it followed an older English spelling rule. Now they just dumb it down in the U.S. because "spelling is too hard!" The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)

When "thorough" is a more difficult word than "psychophysicotherapeutics"
Maybe they're all psychophysicotherapists.

I had a cousin who bought a car after graduating from college. This was in 1991. She described it as a Cavalier Chevrolet 1991 wit hair conditioner. At the time, I was still in university and had a 1982 Cavalier and was in awe of modern technology. Mine had a block eater though.
Video: Psychophysiotherapeutics.
Me: That's not fair.
Woman: * pronounces it perfectly *
She didn't though
@@rewrose2838 she pronounced it a hell of a lot better than anything else on this list.
@@lisasmiles3318 she pronounced psychophysicotherapeutics , not psychophysiotherapeutics
@@rewrose2838 But the word shown in the video had a c in it, so she did it right.
@@juli5945 I was referring to how she did not pronounce the word without the c 'perfectly'
French trying to say squirrel: SQUARE FRIEND

As a French Canadian, I like when english people say word in english. Some of them go it right some of them are just funnier. The best thing I like about you guys is when you saying the word: Bonjour (hi in french).
Are you going to eat that çrøïšśåñt?

1:26 that lady was impressed with his pronunciation
Merveilleux.

Willne lmao
Obviously he was referring to Sandy who is a squirrel and Spongebob's friend😂😂
@@Litelight OMG I never thought of that. I thought that guy just does not know how to pronounce it lol.
Definitely shows how different languages requires the difference in movement of the jaw, mouth and tongue to create words.
Ya
Agreed
right
it's a physical activity as much as an intellectual one
and I've noticed that just as a with physical activity, I get better after warming up
as a non native speaker, when I do English, my accent sucks less 2-4 minutes in than it did at the very beginning
Yeah, but… not really. Different languages do require different jaw movements etc, that’s the reason non-native speakers will never talk as natives. However, examples in this vids are mostly from people who didn’t even study english properly (which is completely fine). They weren’t just having problems with pronunciation, they couldn’t even read the words properly. I, for example, know this words and can pronounce them correctly even though my mother tongue is very far from English. It might sound a bit off, sure, but nothing like square friend.
I agree I'm trying to learn Italian, and the mouth posture is soooo different to English, English mouth posture is super lazy
When I was learning French, I spent my first summer out of university working as a Chamber Maid in Québec City. My supervisor was trying to learn English and we traded helpful hints. I remember going around with my cart repeating the word "débarbouillettes". No matter how hard I tried, it didn't come out right.
"I can't do better." 😂😂😂 Love him.

Maybe he lives underwater.
He's actually from Hedgehog.
I laughed
but I bet we sound like deaf people when we try to pronounce words in other languages 😂
2:01 her mimics made me melt through the entire video🫠
Oui elle est vraiment charmante☝️
Loved this. Their English can hardly be as bad as my French. The gentleman in the leather jacket does great, he must have studied English.
"Jeweler"
*10 seconds later*
*"PSYCHOPHYSICOTHERAPEUTICS"*
Actually jeweler was harder for me than the other one
well jeweler is pretty hard for people that speak another language so
Jeweller used to have two ll's because it followed an older English spelling rule. Now they just dumb it down in the U.S. because "spelling is too hard!" The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)
I speak 100% english and I didn't even know psychophysicotherapeutics was a real exsiting word thx america for making my life harder than it already is
