    @thierryf67 5 лет назад +2

    in the south of France, we emphase the end of the word so we pronounce more the last 'e' at the end of "verre"... so that make a difference between ver, vert, vers and verre.

    • @KimberlyGreen
      @KimberlyGreen 5 лет назад

      This is something I've noticed about speaking in French ... a tendency to not pronounce the letters at the end of many words. Do the people in the South generally pronounce the ending letters?

    I just love your spirit and the way you make French cool. Now that I have said that... I want you to say and record “focus” 3 times and listen to this recording. Unlike French; focus cannot sound like that 🤣

  • @suewright1299

    I've been following your informative channel for a couple of years now. Your lessons are very helpful and your command of English is excellent. But, remember, the first syllable of the English word "focus" sounds like the French "Faux." Trust me on this.

    • @justintorres6573
      @justintorres6573 5 лет назад +1

      NariTheMan I’m no French teacher by any means, but “un truc” is “a thing”. It’s similar to “une chose” but more informal. Use it the same way as you would “a thing”.
      J’ai des trucs à faire = I have things to do

    Salut Géraldine Dans un restaurant à Dieppe j'ai été mal compris parce que j'ai demandé si on pourrait manger à cette heure (à 18,10), mais le serveur a cru que j'ai demandé de manger à sept heures !
    Donc, nous avons dû attendre 50 minutes avant de pouvoir commander notre repas. (peut-être 'cette heure-ci aurais êtê mieux). Merci beaucoup de vos leçons.

    vers for approximately/about???????

    • @KimberlyGreen
      @KimberlyGreen 5 лет назад

      More like 'in the direction of'. For the word approximately, I believe 'environs' is used. Example: Je vais prendre ma retraite dans environs dix ans. (I am going to retire in around 10 years. Or literally I am going to take my retirement in the area around 10 years.)

    Après avoir couru sur le gazon vert, je me suis dirigé vers ma maison. Alors, j’avais très soif, et donc, j’ai rapidement bu un gros verre de bière. Puis, je me suis déshabillé, et nu comme un ver, j’ai pris une douche.

      there are other words that sound like another word,
      like : Haut, eau, au
      and plenty others..
      and your example is false ^^ Firstly because we're talking about single words, not group of words :)
      I don't know how to explain you except doing this :
      Boite au lettre = "Bwa to lètre"
      Bois toilette = "Bwa twa lète"
