This can also be visualised. Aigu has a rising "dash" so the flow of e sound goes up. With Grave the "dash" is falling so the sound drops.

Alexa, you're such a great french teacher, I love how natural you are at interacting with an audience that isn't there when you filmed these lessons! Merci beaucoup

I have been learning French for 2 and a half years and I've always struggled spelling French words because I keep putting the accents around the wrong way! I just couldn't memorize where they went; so this really helped me as I can now hear where the accents go. Thank you so much! The examples were very helpful!

[danhuang]

Simply the best French teacher I have ever had.

4:13 is the best moment why I like lessons with Alexa. She is so nice 😊👍

[zlinqx]

Didn't learn this during 5 years of studying French in high school and can now understand the difference from watching a 10 minute youtube video. Thank you.

[BazingaPunk]

Merci, Alexa. I just enrolled in a French class and la professeur teaches fast. Your videos will help me a lot so I can catch up :)

[henryotieno]

I literally enjoy the lessons. Every free time is Alexa french time

[JennaDaniella]

My friend in my French class told me about you and I'm so glad! You've made this SO simple and straightforward that I want to cry with joy and relief! I am naturally getting the French accent much more accurately just by reading the sentence you provided. Thank you SO MUCH! My passion for learning has increased and I'm already enthusiastic! You even taught me a word in my native English, 'ephemeral'! 😅

I'll be recommending you to everyone in my French class who doesn't know about you!

[patsyna]

Alexa you are an amazing teacher . Thanks for the lessons and we love you

[AmandaJones-ledj]

I notice the video is a few years old so I wanted to drop in and say THANK YOU for keeping it up here! I am a homeschooling mom teaching French for the first time. Your videos are the most helpful ones I have found. Thank you for this great instruction!

[CRSIUUUU-sc]

I'm a French beginner. I have a test next week and i don't know nothing about French pronunciation. Thanks for supporting me with all these videos. I hope i can do the test well also🤗
