Mathilde L Clichéééééééé ooooh clichééééééé (à chanter avec la voix de Nolwenn Leroy xD)
kimneufseventyone Cliché mais une fois sur deux dans le métro/RER, il y a un accordéon.
Mathilde L So do the british, in fact I think le monde Anglophone all do
Walz Oui mais le joueur n'est que très très rarement français !
Walz C'est clair ahahah

I'm not a french speaker, I'm just a English speaker that knows a little bit of Spanish. ;-;
@@erikbriela3777 Same I only know 3% Spanish.

I think Lefebvre and Chevalier hasn't been used in France since 2 centuries
Wrong. That's still last names you can hear often in France.
Coudy WANE Lol i'm french and no one is called like that ... This video is just a humiliation for us
Elen Mael'ez Sekred i live in France and have never heard it...
One of my friend's name is Madianna Lefebvre so no you can still hear this last name in France 🇫🇷.
Elen Mael'ez Sekred No.
It's like watching Joey from Friends all over
Jublablah pea!
Victoria Flamel Je- Je- Ma- Ma- Pelle- Pelle- Je mapelle! Blahblublah!

"How you doin"
When all the Americans are calling you chloeee and your name is chloé
Chloé Eleonore ✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼😪
Chloé Eleonore on reconnait les francais ^^
Zoë aussi!!! Le tréma confuse tout le monde
lol well I'm bilingual so I don't make that mistake. I don't think we should generalize nor be mad at each other for mispronouncing when everyone is trying their best
Chloé Eleonore Putaiiiin c'est trop vraiiii ! o-o
Tous mes amis américains m'appellent "clo iiiii" au lieu de "Chloé"
Lefebvre????
I am French and I myself do not know it pronounced
Ah... Pourtant Lefebvre est assez connu :/
Pareille :O
+Dina Boukhachem pas vraimment...
jamais entendu parler moi et meme chevalier vous en connaissez beaucoup vous serieux ?
+Nirina Razafy ah si quand même, c'est un nom assez commun en France
She took 3 years of French. Lol
Yeah right.
AllBasketballTV American education system sucks
xstoofpeer you angry at the world.
xstoofpeer How just because the one in the U.S. does; it doesnt mean the whole education of a continent sucks...
xstoofpeer Lol yeah that's why everyone comes over here for our colleges
xstoofpeer Ikr! I am not even kidding when I say that our teacher (who could get a job curing insomnia) was teaching us KINDERGARTEN LEVEL MATH and then she GOT IT WRONG AND I HAD TO LITERALLY EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF IT TO HER. IT WAS FREAKING SIMPLE ADDITION 100 + 50 = 150 HOW CAN YOU GET THAT WRONG?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAARAAARRRRRRGHGRHEGHRGJEHKDHGVCBIYEWIYUTFDG^£%E£R%@^R£*&@^%E£&^%$^£*Ok I've got it out of my system now, excuse me as I go to weep alone for the future of humanity.
What do you mean I'm overreacting?
I'm french and EACH SINGLE time i listen to an anglophone speaking french i laugh !
+akira hitsugaya me too x)
SpectacularVernacular Vert easy to criticize my english when you speak only one language....
I would find it very funny if i heard you speaking foreign langages.
SpectacularVernacular ooooooooh congratulations.
Now go back drinking mineral water and shut up
+akira hitsugaya It can be really funny.. I'm an English speaker, but I do want to be able to speak fluent French, because it's a very nice language, and I might aswell be that one person in a crowd that can do it properly.
Lord Spodergentleman it's a hard language....
Amercans try to pronounce GERMAN words!
Ich ... BLURG.

Oh yeah please

Arrêtez de dire que "Lefebvre" et "Chevalier" n'existent pas en France ! Ce ne sont pas des prénom, certes, mais des NOMS DE FAMILLE très répandus.
+Marion L Mais la plupart des français n'ont pas compris que "Names" ne veut pas spécifiquement dire "Prénoms", mais tout type de noms, y compris les noms de famille. L'ignorance parle d'elle même... on ne pourra rien y faire!
Malheureusement!
C'est tellement exaspérant de voir tant d'illettrés incultes dans les commentaires...
Je suis soulagée que des gens intelligents existent encore !
Cieuxpourpres La complaisance dans la médiocrité... en voilà une belle philosophie moderne de l'intellectuel d'aujourd'hui. Puis, il n'y a personne qui puisse avoir plus de "facilité" dans quoique ce soit. C'est simplement du travail, de l'effort, de l'apprentissage... bref, des notions qui vont en effet à l'opposé de votre philosophie qui défend la paresse intellectuelle. "je dis ça je dis rien"... oui, je pense que c'est une conclusion adaptée pour une fois : dis rien.
+Cieuxpourpres Hey this is a message for everyone who participated in this comment argument thing .I am an American and I am learning French and I just wanted to say that your argument was so helpful for me in my pursuit of learning! Thank you guys for using complete sentences and grammar. I learned a lot of new phrases. Maybe one day I can have my own comment thread argument in French
I've always butchered French.
Spanish, no problem.
Korean, no problem.
Chinese, no problem. There's just something about French!!!
Well korean, chinese and spanish are reeeeeally different from French x)
Don't worry it's normal !I can help you if you want haha !Yeah you giessed it i'm french :)
LiilouSims Oh I know that. I just meant that some of the hardest pronunciations out there (Korean and Chinese) are a total breeze and yet I still can't manage to grasp French lol. I'm a hopeless case, but thanks for offering.
***** Lol I've definitely never heard that one before.
I speak English French Spanish and Yiddish
Zachary Vigeant Ooh impressive.
Finally Buzzfeed do something about my country !! 🇫🇷🇫🇷
Right!
ad x
Which is?
Viva la france
France is not the only french speaking country.
French is most spoken in Congo.
Just saying...
ad x Tu réponds magnifiquement bien au cliché qui me hante depuis des années et qui m'assure désormais que peu de Français savent correctement parler anglais
Haha I'm a bilingual English person who speaks French and this is quite funny tbh 😂
+Luca me too,this is so funny,i wish the video was much longer
Yeah same as me
same!
Me too!
same!!!
PLEEEESE DO DUTCH NAMES AND CITIES
OMG JAAA!!!!!
Jaaaaaa

YEAAH
I like pretty much all accents, but when I hear Americans speaking another language with a strong American accent, it's the absolute worst thing.
Chrisy D ... i guess you've never heard the dutch... i mean, they know their grammar and vocabulary really good but the accent... gosh...
Jordy de Raedt Really? I've always found their accent to be cute.
Chrisy D well, i think you are an individual with his own opinions and preferences on all sorts of things so... guess that's like... your opinion man
Jordy de Raedt obviously. I was just making conversation...
Chrisy D agreed
*whisper* omelette du fromage...
Dexter!!
Justin S-P omelette AU fromage keep that in your mind
No, keep the meme in YOUR mind. :C
Like I'm french, you ain't gonna tell me how to speak my tongue
j'ai regardé d'autres commentaires et j'ai compris :') désolé
wait... Isn't omelette DE fromage???
I am Canadian/ Québécoise (Montreal) so i speak french and «Lefebvre» is the last name of a lot of people here
american try to pronounce dutch words
p.s. i failed every french test this year and i got all of them correct
Arne Gentjens Omg jaaa XD
SnorkFlirt the fact htat i only had verb tests and other not pronouncing shit
Ja please!
SnorkFlirt lol You're foreign yourself.
Arne Gentjens hahaha jaaa omg nederlands is best moeilijk
Have them pronounce Dutch names :P Or cities. Or just random words. Anything Dutch, really.
Scheveningen. Eigenlijk alles met een g erin.
Hugronje
1:18 "lae-titty-a" HAHAH Seriously?!
That was hilarious hahah
Omg I love French so much 😂. Try saying "Batimênt". You'll be surprised by the pronunciation and what it means if you Urban Dictionary it.
Ba-ti-ment im french
CuteBoyFly I know what it means cuz I speak french :) lol
CuteBoyFly it's bâtiment btw :)
Who makes their poor child Lefebvre? Why would you make them suffer so? Also, has anyone called a child Knight ? Ever?
these two are surnames not firstnames.
C'est des noms de famille pas des prénoms conno
Laura Etienne pas besoin de m'insulter, j'ai jamais entendu ces noms, j'demadai juste une question
C'est la culture des jeunes Français sur RUclips.
Comparés aux jeunes d'autres pays, ils passent leur temps à s'insulter. Souvent ils insultent en premier pour ne pas se sentir le dernier.
Va sur des vidéos de musique populaires françaises, tu comprendras...
minimooster Je ne t'ai pas insulté, "conno" est une expression de là où je viens
J'aurais préféré que le nom du video soit ``Americans Try To Pronounce French Names And Nouns``. Qui dans le monde s'appelle Chevalier‽‽
Julien Pitre Je plains celui qui s'apelle Geoffreoy, Chavalier et Capucine
TheZeddyboy mais c'est joli Capucine et Geoffroy ! ...par contre Lefebvre ou je sais pas quoi...FRANCHEMENT ?!
Lefebvre est le nom d'une municipalité au Québec et beaucoup le porte comme nom de famille, donc j'ai entendu souvent mais Geoffroy et Capucine je n'aime pas. Capucine pourrait être le nom de mon chien et Geoffroy est beaucoup plus beau si prononcer en anglais (Joffrey)
Sarah proche Lefebvre est un nom de famille très frequant au québec
tamere enshort Pourtant je vis près du QC mais j'ai jamais entendu le nom...
Je comprendrais jamais pourquoi on dit que l'allemand c'est plus simple que le français...
+Bakaarion C'est un complot!!
La grammaire française est beaucoup plus difficile à apprendre, les sons formés par différentes lettres ne sont pas toujours évidents...
L'allemand est difficile à prononcer et certains mots sont extrêmement longs, mais une fois que les règles des cas, leurs terminaisons et les verbes forts sont appris, il y a peu d'exceptions.
Enfin, ça c'est la théorie...
Parce qu'après avoir fait deux-trois ans d'allemand LV2, je galère toujours à construire une phrase simple (et à la prononcer)...
+Bakaarion
mon nom est lotte ! son pas vraiment mais son joli nom !
nik la france
avoue
0:44 "Capussy" hahahaha im dying
Lol. Just say it Pvssy, much easier 😂😂
spelling bee for French would be veteran level
Abeille ?
Rosine Carail ???
It's "bee" in french
Rosine Carail I think you didn't get what I was saying
Abhay Namboodiri Now that I think about it yeah maybe hahaha
Lefebvre ? What the hell ! I'm french and i didn't even know this name.
+TheRedFoxization Dans les gendarmes de Saint-Tropez un des acteurs s'appelle Jean Lefebvre, il a joué dans la Septième Compagnie aussi ;)
Tain', j'men rappelais plus ! Faut que je le revois.
Ouais, mais 'habite à tahiti moi...
+TheRedFoxization C'est québécois
+TheButtonSmasher salut felon fan de gorrilaz!
im french and lefebvre is a pretty fucked up name ._.
You just don't pronunce the b.
:p
+melouge tehbotol
Umm I never heard it with the b sound. Lol.
+jocat nihongo cool! :)
It's common in Quebec
Rebecca Beaulieu well im from quebec... I never said I was from france ^^'' I NEVER heard that name o,o
My french teacher screams when I don't do the liaison thing and when I pronounce the e in the end of words xD.
NifitsaLand liaison not lieson
xD courage
Aurore M Oh my god! Thank you for correcting me lol, you saved me from another scream from my teacher. Thank youu :)
jojojea elda My whole class has more courage than the teacher xD. She still teaches us useful stuff, I guess.
NifitsaLand ahhahaha
Chevalier c'est pas un prénom
Yee, sa a plus tendance à être un nom
J'ai jamais rencontré quelqu'un dont le prénom était Lefebvre non plus ...
Y’a pas écrit prénom y’a écrit nom donc ça peut être soit des prénoms soit des noms
ou des noms communs comme chevalier ;) y a pas écrit nom propre hein et oui le français est une langue précise ^^
Irma Peuch C'est un nom de famille plutôt rependu
Lefebvre n est PAS un prénom en france.. et Chevalier..peut être au moyen âge.
Elodie wae Names c'est aussi nom de famille ;)
Bien vu :) merci
Elodie wae c'est de la langue française... c'est québécois
Elodie wae mdrrrrr Chevalier XDD
Elodie wae je pense plutôt que lefebvre et chevalier sont des noms de familles, ou alors rip la réputation du gamin à l'école
WAIT so you can go to school and learn a language and then know nothing? Damn, here you wouldn't pass.
annieidk same here
+annieidk And then they don't even have to learn english to start with.
Weird.
DukeOfWellington I was fluent in English after 4 years. 5 year olds aren't fluent in their own language? Where do you live? Here, 5 year olds can read and write and if they can't, they're just idiots.
annieidk No, they're not fluent. Knowing a language isn't the same as being fluent. See if a five year old can read a book aimed at adults, there would be a tonne of words they don't know the meaning of.
DukeOfWellington uhmm, actually no one was ever asking me "what does it mean". I used to help at the nursery school. The kids were really good. All I've ever heard is "I know it's a disease, but what's going on when you have it?". But I live in the East of Europe.
Chevalier ? Lefebvre ? Les gars stop xD
I'm French and this was so funny to watch!!!
T'es belle ! ;)
C'est clair 😂😂
Je suis KO 😂😂😂😂
Thank goodness you dont hate us XD
What kind of horrible person would name his child knight??
that's a last name, just like Lefebvre lol
Chillhelm der Breite yeah, like your name would be Mike and you would be Mike chevalier, as a last name
Chillhelm der Breite Je m'appelle Camille.
Chillhelm der Breite chevalier is the last name. For example: Gabriel Chevalier
Chillhelm der Breite or lebvvrvbrvre
AMERICANS DO A GEOGRAPHY TEST(WORLD)
Oskar Bergman GREAT IDEA
Oskar Bergman yes
Thats a reaaaaally good idea
SPREAD THE WORD, COMMENT ON THEIR VIDEOS :)
Oskar Bergman Americans and one Show off (Keith)!
Wtf Chevalier means knight it's not a name😂
Oh okay cause I'm from Switzerland and I never heard that.
That's cool. That means he's a knight!
a lot of old french names means something
yes it's a common last name in France, I was born in Normandy and I have met a lot of people with that name at school/Uni
Ah bon, savais pas ça. On en apprend tous les jours! ;)
chevalier is not a name. It means a horse rider. wtf buzzfeed
Judy M. it's a common last name in France, and so is Lefebvre.
Morgane Le Huërou ouais enfin tu vas pas te faire prénommer chevalier. Après chevalier et Lefebvre sont les deux exceptions de la vidéo. Les seuls deux noms de famille... Ce qui n'est pas très pertinent. Même aux US tu peux trouver des noms de famille français. Des prénoms c'est bien plus rare
Judy M. He wasn't saying it was someone's name. He probably meant to say all these words sound sexier
Judy M. It means knight, and it can be a last name.
Milphide E un de mes amis son nom de famille c'est Le Guerrier, je trouve sa tellement cool
I feel the pain having a French name and having it butchered so badly at one point they called me dolphin.... D:
XyleshaChan same with camille can't stand how they pronounce it. the closest they get it when they pronouce it camee.
My mother's name is Delphine (I am a french canadian)!
XyleshaChan On the bright side, people like dolphins :D
XyleshaChan Hahaha I feel you. My name is pronounced correctly in French but in the Sates they pronounce it 1) Bou-laine or 2) Bou-lee-anne-E (It'sj ust Bouliane)
icansleepallday what are you talking about..." Khu-mee-ul " is a beautiful pronunciation
How did "Chevalier" become "Chevrolet" ?
I Think he was talking about the Chevrolet Cavalier.
Americans try to pronounce Vietnamese names !!
Suggestions: Bích and Phúc
Wtf
Hou Li Phúc
Suhn Nhu Bah Bích
Dur à prononcer les prénoms ou les mots Français pour eux... ^^' C'est vrai que c'est une langue assez difficile =).
Je sais quand même mais je pense que je suis plutôt bonne
Sans blague ! Moi je préfère l'anglais de loin ! 😁
Auriane Renon Je pense même que c'est l'une des langues les plus difficiles au monde, avec sa grammaire tout ça.... Et en plus on a même pas l'accent :/ Mais c'était plus drôle à voir :p
bonjour
Avant cette vidéo je ne me rendais pas compte que c'était aussi dur a prononcer, parce que à côté l'anglais me semble tellement facile ^^
Seriously, Chevalier ? That's not even a name, that a fucking knight, a goddamn horse rider !
It's a family name.
Annabelle CHEVALIER
OH.MY.GOD. You're named Chevalier... Ah..ah, it..it's a beautiful day today !
There was a famous assasin called chevalier he was a pirate
It's a last name
Leïna Knowles-Carter Chevalier == Knight
Cavalier == Horserider
Ha ha!
Try French Canadian names. Bring on "Herménégilde" and "Eutrope" and "Dieu-Donné" and "Des-Neiges"!
English took a lot from french language after the invasion by the normands, for instance Guillaume became William in english. :)
Late reply but its almost directly Old Norman was : Williame/William
bon les gars on se case le cul à prononcer votre langue nous (bon ya des échèques) mais vous pourriez faire un effort ya de l’abus là :p
Y'a beaucoup d'abus de la part des français aussi avec les "z" à la place des "th".
ziss is ze end
ouai chui d'accord avec toi
+arkhaine Tu peux commencer en mettant une majuscule en début de phrase, en respectant l'orthographe (casse, échecs) et en ayant une expression écrite un peu plus soutenue qu'à l'oral (il y a). Fichtre, c'est quand même ta langue maternelle, non ?
Oui maître, j'aime la castration, les allitérations et les figures de style......................
arkhaine Désolé d'avoir paru sévère mais ton premier commentaire avait un niveau d'exigence qui n'était pas en accord avec sa formulation.
Try To Pronounce SWISS GERMAN words!
Yes!
Milk Shake like chuchichästli
Milk Shake or bütschgi

das wo vom öpfel übrigblibt, wenn me d'kärnli nit isst ^^ seit me glaub nit überall in de schwiz
I got all of them right ! Yeah !!!...Because I'm french
I'm french and I just learn that Chevalier is a actual name! o_o
+Ego Plus un nom de famille je dirais ^^

+Camille ScMel c'est plus rependu au quebec
D'ac :)
I'm French, and I had a good time watching this video :D but honestly you were given hard names to pronunciate for a foreign speaker
You should try to pruhnounce Dutch names! Prunauce? Prounounche? Pronounce idk.. I'm Dutch myself... Try uhm... Gijs or Bertha or Geertrudy
Julia v. V pronounce
Julia v. V I think they'd have trouble with Rembrandt or Vermeer judging by this video! doei :)
It's in the title.
Memphis depay
Julia v. V Greetje, toppe naam voor buitenlanders, ze kunnen de tje en de gr nooit uitspreken :p
please try americans try to pronounce hungarian names
+Hanna Szilvási That would just be cruel. I mean almost at the level of Welsh.
withastone Haha I know 😊
+Hanna Szilvási igen !!
Dolbo Dolb haha it's not even hard pronounce the names :'D
Is it bad that I'm Hungarian but I know nothing about the culture besides that we invented goulash
Lets try Norwegian names that has Å, Æ or Ø in them...
Børven
Grøgård
Solskjær
Ødegaard (Ødegård)
Aasen.
+Torstein Rizandro Bakketun Best Kyte Hvorfor har du to "a" i ødegaard.
+Sage Rogers Before one of the writing reforms of the 20th century it was typical to write Å as two times A. This is still typical in some surnames.
+Torstein Rizandro Bakketun Best Kyte These names sound like warriors :D my name is Torben originates from Torbjørn? :D
Interestingly Bluetooth is a name inspired by the Viking Harald Blåtann or Harald Blue Tooth. What is the connection? Oh, I see what you did there...
I know that ø is said like ö or oo (I'm German so I'm trying to make comparisons), æ is said like aye or ā, and å is just said like an o
French is such a beautiful language and I'm studying it in High-School.
When are we gonna see the video "Americans try French Food for the first time"?
Vincent Cutillas what I want to see is indians try american food, just to hear them say '' where is all the flavor''
pseudo gamer lol pretty sure that can be said for basically any other country trying american food hahaha
1. as a fluent french speaker this hurts me
2. i have NEVER. EVER heard of half of these names in all my life of knowing french.
EyeOfTheLauren I know people called Maëlle, Capucine or Laëtitia. That's not that common I know but it exists. They chose names that would not be too easy to pronounce.
***** oui, je connais Geoffroy mais jamais Lefevbre
***** Je n'ai jamais entendu ces noms
EyeOfTheLauren I'm guessing you're not french then, these are common names. (Lefebvre and Chevalier are family names though)
BubulleGum makes sense, I guess
"Chevalier" Oh! you mean Chevrolet, like the car! lololol
Chevalier n'est pas un prénom !
Non mais c'est bien un nom de famille par contre
+Morgane Amilin une personne qui faires de cheval?
+TeleTorben littéralement une personne qui fait du cheval oui, but it actually translates to knight, so it derived from cheval because knights used to ride horses. Now the correct word pour une personne qui fait du cheval est "cavalier" ;)
Morgane Amilin Thanks for you answer I was just remembering the word cheval but this makes a lot of sense in germany we have the same word Kavalier it means a man who is gentle to women :)
vrai
Americans, please try to pronounce my name. ;)
Thomas Joosten I think it is mie - shell
Benoît Michel [Buh-nwuh Mee-shell] (English phonetics kind of) :D
Benoît Michel Bun-wah Meekell?
Ben-wah me-shell? I dunno
Benoît Michel beuuuunoiiii miiichhhhèèèèllleee
Im french and the butchering of the name guillaume made me cringe
Ton prenom 😂 ?
Americans should try to pronounce dutch names!
I TRIED!!! WWWWAAAAAHHHH
Riku Takano it sounds japanese though :P
My dad has to call himself Larry in the us because his real name is Laurent and nobody can pronounce it right.
Aww Jean should stick with it! John is such a common name...
Well I know How to pronounce it but then again it may be the dutch way because I came across that name in our country many times, but don't know if it is any different in french
Well my name is Meyeti so when I'am anywhere in the world I'm just May :)
I'm French and I never heard of a Lefebvre or a Chevalier in my life.
+Mickael Feast C'est un nom de famille Lefebvre, c'est assez commun par chez moi
Ah bon ? Peut-être bien si tu le dis ! Effectivement maintenant que tu me le dis je pense a une personne qui a un nom de famille "Lefèvre" mais pas "Lefebvre" ^^
Mickael Feast Tu as les deux
+Mickael Feast On trouve plus souvent Lefèvre que Lefebvre, parce que même pour un francais c'est quand même con de mettre trois consonnes de suite.
+Mickael Feast Jim Lefebvre, former MLB player and coach. Maurice Chevalier, singer and actor from the 1920s thru 1960s, best known for his supporting role in "Gigi." They both have Wikipedia listings, look 'em up. You're welcome.
I listen to classical music and one of the pieces I love is called "Overture of Guillaume Tell". I never knew how to pronounce that until today. Wow.
1:41 pronunciation on fleek.
Il y a des personnes qui s'appellent Chevalier?!
Il est un nom de famille, je pense.
+Isabelle Henson Oui, c'est ce que je pensais... Mais je ne connais personne avec le PRÉNOM Chevalier
+Pink Kitty Comme le Batman? :P
+Moumita Acharya ???😂😂😂
Oui, mais c'est très vieux.
Guillaume MON FRÈRE 😂😂 mdrr
The Brunette MDR 😂😂
Wtf ? qui s'appelle chevalier en France ?? Limite Lancelot ok mais chevalier ca va loin...
France is a beautiful country ! It's mine country and I think we have the best food ever
La nourriture en France👌. Nous au Québec on a la poutine!
+Laura Charland Mais nous on a les Belges à côté de nous ! Imbattables en frites :)
As a native french person, this was ear torture xD
How about Sean pronounced as Shaun? I literally said it as seen for two years!
When i read it i still say shaun in my head xD
OMG IM NOT THE ONLY ONE :o
Blandine Jacquet ?
It's because Sean is the Irish John. They don't have the sound "j", so the closest they can get is "sh" which you get with writing "se".
Sean is pronouced like seen
Guys guys ... depuis quand chevalier est un nom ?
Anyway, that dude with chevalier as a name have been bullied his entire life because of that XD
lolololol pauv' tit'
BKaitsuki Y l'aurait pas eu facile hah
BKaitsuki c'est un nom de famille ^^'
bah jamais entendu ca moé là
BKaitsuki je confirme c'est un nom de famille ! =) tout comme Lefèbvre ...
BKaitsuki hein tu connais pas jacques chevalier
(Je suis français ) vous avez oublié Chariot! :O
Coucou mon poney ! je t'ais envoyer des mess sur hangouts O.Opk tu repond pas ! :''(
IP- Music j'avais plus internet xD
You guys can talk but we're not the ones where one letter can sound 50 freaking different ways! XD (through/thought/tough for example. WHY)
The only one I know is Pierre. And idk if that's even French and I'm Canadian
Magical Penguin711 yes it is French, it's the equivalent of Peter
Or Pedro in spanish.
I gotta say I was pretty disappointed when I did not see a Gontrand or a Georgette in there. Québec represent criss!
Ginette, Joachim, Octavius, Roberte, Élias, Serge, they should have done old quebecois names from the 30s and 40s!
"Chevalier" in Turkish it means "Knight". But you write it like "Şövalye" and you read it like "Sheovalliey"
Means knight in French too.
+Kaylee Black i know
fransizca da oyle
I am pretty sure that we (europeans) wouldn't be able to pronounce their names or words either, given the awfully constructed english ortography, if it only wasn't for globalisation and the overuse of english though...
There's also the fact that most Europeans learn multiple languages (expecially english) while Americans don't
+Davide Renda
that doesn't mean that we are that much better at pronunciation though. the problems just differ from language to language.
For example a lot of Germans have a problems with sonant consonants (like d,g ,b, w/v, z/s) at the end of words, because in our language the pronunciation of those become voiceless ( t, k, p, f, sh) at word endings. We call that "Auslautverhärtung".
i.e. French "plage" sounds more like "plash" and the English "bed" sounds more like "bet".
the loads of hidden diphtongs are also difficult for some Germans and don't get me started in the the differen "th"s (between "de car", "ze car" and "ve car"...I personally think the "de" instead "the" sounds the least painful).
even if you know how it /should/ sound, doesn't mean that you will pronounce it right when in a conversation.^^"
And I know for a fact that a lot French people sounds positively adorable when trying to talk English. You just can't ignore the Frenchness of their English. °w°
For me, it isn't much of a problem to pronounce certain sounds in english but rather when to pronounce them and when not...In French or Italian there are certain rules, and english on the other hand, most of the time leaves you with guessing...The letter "G" for example in French and in Italian becomes a soft sound when it is followed by an "i" or "e" like a german "tsch" in all other cases it is pronounced as a normal "G"...All that makes english, for me, way harder than French or Italian, which have a slightly more complicated grammar, but after learning then spelling rules you can write down and pronounce any word you encounter...Just days ago I realized that, I always pronounced "pertain" the wrong way, both the "e" and the "r" are silent...

yeah some of the English pronunciation rules are a bit difficult to understand.
Like why the "gh" in "knight" is pronounced completely different than the "gh" in "laugh" eventhough they both probably sounded in old English similiar to the voiceless or sonant velar fricative in German or Dutch, which is lost in modern English.
Or the "th" in "Thames" is not a "th" but a "t" sound...^^"
English is just such a mix of all kind older languages, that pronunciation is pretty wacky.
I still think it is easier to try to reproduce single words than trying to pronouce stuff correctly in a conversation.
i know pretty well how to pronounce the "th" for example, but when i talk to someone it can still happen that i make "typical German" pronuncitation mistakes...especially when it happens in combination with other fricatives ( like when there are "s" and "th" directly following each other).
Chevalier n'est pas un prénom O.o ça veut dire "knight" en francais X)
+kamela bentouati c'est un nom de famille donc c'est bon
+ProvencalLeGallois Non, c'est pas cohérent avec le reste.

amelie angie They could've put Audrey or Philippe, Léa, all these names u know lmao but why chevalier
Ou encore moi!
i'm french, and i've never heard some of these names. are some people named lefebvre? really? and 'chevalier' as a forename? it means knight, and i've never heard or met someone named 'chevalier'. it's weird to me
Lefebvre et chevalier sont des noms de famille ;) en anglais "names" ne veut pas seulement dire prénom ou nom c'est un ensemble et la famille chevalier et Lefebvre sont deux des plus grandes familles de France avec les Sainclair et les Petit ^^
Nathan Petit Ah merci, j'ai pensé qu'ils faisaient référence à des prénoms vu que dans les autres c'étaient que des prénoms ^^ Figure-toi que je n'ai jamais rencontré quelqu'un venant d'une grande famille de France.. Pas de Chevalier ni de Lefebvre, pas de Sainclair ou de Petit non plus ahah x)
Nathan Petit martin est le nom de famille le plus courant en france btw

americans try to pronounce turkish names!!
I took French for two years and passed with flying colors unfortunately I didn't retain a damn thing😓
Two years is quite short, especially if you don't practice it besides class. I took french for 5 years and since my boyfriend is nearly fluent in french, we try to talk french to one another. Talking to someone french/who speaks french who is also your age is also a good way to learn new vocabulary you wouldn't get in french class!
@@ilsedewot6739 True, but it works for every language, like for me, I'm French and I'm bilingual
i'm so happy and please to see them trying hard to pronounce it well.
