So, do you read this letter?
Well...yes, but actually no
....Unless it's an exception which in this case it's not but it could be....
I’m am so motivated to learn french but all these exceptions, silent pronunciation, tiny rules, and seemingly multiple variations to say the same thing.... I don’t know how I’m going to learn how to speak french :(
did you make any progress :)
Same , exactly same is happening to me.I don't know now what to do ??
@@JaswinderKaur-jz2if if it's any help, the more you listen to native speakers, the more you get used to the words and how they are pronounced and you don´t have to think about the pronunciation rules as much
Same, I have many troubles with pronunciation and I wish I decided to learn Spanish instead, considering I know a little bit of Spanish already
Listen to movies so then you can get the sound of the language and it become instinctual😁
to people getting discouraged by this: once you speak it casually, you'll pick it up quickly. till then, don't worry! people will still understand you if you pronounce plus in the wrong scenario, it's not too important

Isnt that all that matters, to be understood?
@@saritapunia3720 yup i speak french fluently
@@Kitiwake no, pronunciation is necessary to master any language and be taken seriousy, especially to speak it anywhere else like in casual conversation, for example academically
@@soha5318 ohk !!!!!!
French will eventually evolve to be silent 😄
Hahahaha!
Body language
HAHA, I agree! French will become silent one day LOL
lmaoo
Not with their attitudes 🤣🥲
It's a good explanation for silent words in french
Even better memo : Learning French gives me PTSD
SCOUNDREL Hahaa FANTASTIC!
This is the best!! Hahah
Pierre's content and delivery cuts straight to the essence of linguistic concepts in an interesting and engaging way. His logical and straightforward explanations have helped to slowly de-mystify the French language for me. Nicely done and much appreciated. Merci.
I could have say it better. He’s a teacher.
I like the way he teaches. Makes it seem so easy but the truth is French is one language with way too many grammatical rules 😭 hope I get it though
Did you??
The best video about French pronunciation. Thanks a lot!
Very helpful. Merci.
Awesome! I took 4 years of french and this video explained it best lol
I took 3 yrs of french in hs and 1 yr in college and I did not learn that much even though i was very focused and did all homework and were very into it
For English speakers who think silent letters and syllables in French are ridiculous, you obviously haven’t been paying attention to your own language. I think it is fair to say that French actually has more consistent rules (including consistent exceptions) than does English.
Unlike French, which is a Latinate Romance language, English is the result of a confluence of many languages. English originnated as a Germanic language (technically an Indo-Germanic language) and was heavily influenced by Saxons, Angles, Jutes and Scandinavian Old Norse thanks to the Viking invasions.
All of this is well before we even get to modern English which was created upon the injection of _(Voila!)_ French - approximately 25% of English words are of French origin - due almost entirely to the French Norman conquest of England in 1066, which made French the new “it” language.. By the late Middle Ages, the English we speak today was largely established, though obviosly, it continues to evolve. The English colonization of, well, the world added thousands of new words to the English language from places as far flung as India and China: pajama, veranda, avatar, bangle, bandana, chit, dungaree, cash, catsup/ketchup, brainwash, gung-ho, mandarin, paper tiger, etc.
Point being, English, unlike French, is a melange* of at least a dozen disparare languages, including even Persian and Arabic. (*See what I did there?)
In brief (or should I say _"En bref"_ ? - since it is literally a borrowed phrase), English is a "Frankenstein's monster" language with parts sewn together over many centuries. Consequently, it is far too much a mish-mash (that's a technical linguistic term 😉) of many different languages to have clear, consistent and obvious rules about spelling and pronunciation. Like all languages, its grammar has a structural logic, but spelling, including which letters to pronounce and when, is not one of them. There was a turn of the centurry attempt to simplify American English by Melvil Dewey (1851-1931; creator of the Dewey Decimal library cataloging system), but obviously it wasn’t much of a success - or would that be _sukses_ ?
Good write up
no, practically 50% of french word are silents while in english there aren't nearly as many. I get it, english is a chimeral abomination of many languages its like 25% french, 25% greek, 25% latin and 25% god knows what else, but its better than being 100% french
This was really great! Your explanations were very helpful and well organized. 😃

At our school we call it the STD rule
Très agréable explaination
Un _explication_ très agréable, mais un mot meilleure que « agréable » serait « utile ».
Me when l’m trying so hard to read a word in French :
French is stupid 😂😂😂
Haha, just like the first time I learnt english..
Now it's easy peasy
Oh
@@etienne7930 since your native languahe is french, do you translate from french to english in your mind?
Or you just think directly in English?
Learning french is very challenging!! I started it with greetings and it took a weeks to memorize every sound, pronunciation and intonations. Make me nutty but am trying to continue to learn coz I find it interesting to learn new language. Thanks for sharing your video. It adds to my progression to keep me learning esp.this period of quarantine. It's very useful to me.
The STPD --> Stupid connection really helps to remember!
Quick general rule (many exceptions, of course): If a consonant is followed by a vowel, wither within a word or at the beginning of the next word, the consonant is pronounced. Otherwise it is silent. (Again, a quick trick/generalization; there are lots of exceptions).
Good explanation .
@cartabs03, _Une bonne explication._
Pierre, rather than saying that the _r_ is silent at the end of _-er_ verbs, I think it is easier for students to learn to pronounce _-er_ as a long _a_ (ā) , like the _a_ in the English word hay.
I do that all the time.
thank you babe
I think it'd be easier to cure every cancer known to man, than to master the french language....
Can relate
Heheh...true enough! ×∆×!
@Nargis.M, évidement, ce n’est pas vrai pas du tout.
sir plz increase volume of ur videos.
but ur content is good
I am attempting to learn French after I gave up on Japanese, and i feel like this I WAAAY easier, I'd rather silent leters than kanji...😵
And plus Google translate with Japanese is like ''wAkAranAi😄" But w/ French is like " Oui oui 😉"
helps me ALOT merci

“It’s normal to fail”
- the year 2020
I always have problems when e is at the end of the word. Do you have a video for that?
14:56. it sounded like he said a lest DUDU parc. he said DU twice really quickly
Les-t du
you heard the pronunciation of t which is teh and then du
TEHDU is what you really heard
Although honestly I heard doodoo so I laughed
Nope he said "A l'est[e] du parc". We often add an "e" sound after a word that ends with a "d" or a "t" in a sentence to make the whole thing more fluid and to make it easier to pronounce. It's a pretty natural thing in everyday speech, especially when you are reading out loud. It makes everything more comprehensible, otherwise in that sentence you would have to go straight from a "t" sound ("esT") to a "d" sound ("Du") which is hard to pronounce and doesn't sound as good.
Is there a study into the addition of vowels to consonant-ending-words in French?
The phonetic “e” sound is present in most languages; it’s interesting to know about modern interpretations of phonetic origins.
Next how not to pronounce English I volunteer to help this man
My man looks like he is about to slay Voldemort. Great video anyways. Loved it and loved the teach's effort.
There are 92739183923810890670986986979086978798798607980796796978969768978787696989782828473894787858376489748289386483889587547878347878784857856 exceptions altogether in french... (TRUE FACT)
Very helpful. Note that in English G is not pronounced J.
When will you teach to pronounce in Canadian french?
Please teach preposition in french
Wow
So the language got updated and developed but the scripture didn't?
he's so cute
Nic Z, he's VERY cute!
Legit...he is!!!
No baka!
Merci pour la classe. La pronounciación en français est plus difficile.
Des tas de remerciements pour vos efforts très utiles !
J'adore qu'il vous fallait corriger une de vos propres phrases à cause d'un point de grammaire.
These exceptions are mind boggling 😵💫
Thanks for this lesson Pierre. Can I correct your English slightly- we don’t say “you have not to say” in English. That’s a deliciously French way to put it. We say simply “you don’t say x”
Not to say that my French is perfect yet either! : )
@@DJ-hf3qq , or we say, “One doesn’t say x.”
@@DJ-hf3qq , being French he is using an English language _have_ for the French verb _devoir_ to mean _must_. He’s trying to say to say, “You must not .”
1:45 Is the H in CH only silent when it isn’t preceded by a E or I? In which case it’s like the Italian C
No because in "échapper" (to escape) is pronounced as in Cheval
Same for échouer (to fail)
Or échelle (scale)
Basically, all the letters are silent in French. lol ....It sounds difficult in the beginning, after sometime you get used to it though.
You should to make a zoom to there.
you can set most devices to screen zoom with 3 taps..
the setting is in the hidden 'developers options' usually
Out of 26 alphabets, 16 are silent and the remainings can be ad-hoc silent.
A language typically has one alphabet which is composed of letters.
Good job Pierre. And you’re really cute also!
Uncle Max, very!
Uh huh
He is too cute!!!
So plus we silent s means “less”, and plus w/ the s sound means “more”?
From what I understood, I believe he meant that "pluS" means just "more" by itself, while "plu" can be used to expess things like "more difficult" or as in the example "more fast => faster".
@@fiddlesticks3043 it's more like : if you say : "Il y en a plus" it's "there's more", if you say "Il y en a plu" it mean "there's no more"
"plu" can also mean that someone stopped doing something, "Mathieu ne travaille plu ici" = "Mathieu doesn't work here anymore"
I am told, the letter 'G' at the end of the word is also, always silent.
Is that true?
If so...which are the common exceptions.
Som está baixo.
12:15 so is the entirety of "que les" silent ?
