When you don't need to pronounce these brands cuz you can't afford most of them. 😆

[lnewton]

when you actually pronounce it correctly, but everyone around you look at you weird cause they all say it wrong. LOL

[gracemori]

Just started working at a department store and wanted to be able to pronounce some designer names correctly. I remembered watching this video months back. Although I took four years of French and did a home stay, it's been a while. Thanks for the help!

[JNSquire]

And we French are also great at slaughtering foreign brands, so I guess it all balances out! XD

[dkadkins]

Tell the French companies to advertise them correctly in English speaking countries so they're pronounced correctly. This reminds me of Adidas where Americans are criticized for our pronunciation but it is literally advertised with that American pronunciation.

[GF-dtex]

If the companies want it pronounced correctly perhaps they should let their advertising companies know.

Just a bit of advice from a Louisiana native who has spoken French (both Cajun and European) as a second language since the age of three: remember to stress the last syllable. While English tends to put emphasis on the first syllable, French puts it on the last. I hope that is helpful for future videos!

Me at a bakery: One kwasun (croissant) please.
Lady: krosant?
Me: Yes, kwasun
Lady: krosant?
Me: krosant

I am French. When english speakers pronounce "Louboutin" I hear "Louis Vuitton" haha

My Mom went to university in France and my sisters and I spent summers in France growing up, but I have lost a lot of my French (I used to be fluent). It was fun to know that I still can properly pronounce French words and brands. 💗

I am gracious and accommodating when a non English speaker makes an effort to speak my language and grateful when someone shows the same kindness when i am trying to communicate with them in their primary language. That's always a less condescending approach.

A good trick if you can picture it when you learn French, English sounds are made in the front of the mouth, nearer to the teeth. French sounds originate from further back in the mouth, nearer to the throat. I'm a native French speaker who had a big accent when speaking English, but when I noticed this front and back of the mouth thing, I started correcting my accent and it made speaking English much easier. I suspect it would work the same way from English to French.

[SamFournier]

I slaughter every French word😭 I feel like Joey in Friends trying to learn French.

[ruskasielu]

The problem is that if you're not talking to French-speaking people, you might not be understood using the French pronunciation. The same applies to using a "proper" English pronunciation for some English brand names while in France... You just can't win!

[cinemaocd]

This hits on why it's easier to learn French from an English speaker than a French person. My first French teacher was from France and I swear the only thing I learned in the first year was "taisez vous." My second French teacher was American and really worked with us on pronunciation, taking a whole class each week just to practice pronunciation.

I don’t know how I got here but I’m watching the whole thing.

[Baubette]

I cannot hear the words Champs-Elysées without singing the song in my head.

[jpurpleyou]

In Rome do as the Romans do—in the US I pronounce them as an English speaker but with the correct emphasis — in France I try to pronounce them correctly. The absolute correct French pronunciation sounds a little pretentious in an English speaking country. Now try in Asia😂

I had a French girl come visit me
I tried to impress her with a few French words
She almost died laughing.

[Mi-tbtl]

Me a French watching this at 3 am: hmmm interesting
