I love your videos. I am using them to improve my understanding of spoken French. I teach English as a second language, so I am fascinated to see how you teach English as a foreign language to native French speakers. Pronunciation is a very challenging part of learning a new language, and you have captured most of the elements of English pronunciation very well. In the case of some sounds, I think you might be overexaggerating, especially with the [r]. I haven't heard you discuss the retroflex [r] or the lip-rounding that is characteristic of English [r]. I have been trying to assess my pronunciation, and I can't make my [r] deep in the throat as you suggest. It is primarily created with the tongue in the center and front of the mouth. I live in a non-rhotic region of the US, and my pronunciation is probably semi-non-rhotic. I wonder if a non-rhotic accent would be easier for French-speakers. In this video, the main accent in "architecture" is actually on the first syllable with a lighter accent on the third. I liken it to a ball bounced once and allowed to bounce until still. There are several words in English like that. Anyway, I just wanted to praise you and share some things I've noticed and wondered about. Thank you for your excellent work.
Thanks a lot Richard ! Yes, I think a non-rhotic accent would be easier for French speakers! I may exaggerate a little bit when it comes to pronunciation but that's for the good of the students, of the community!
