  • Bonjour, I follow your videos and it helps me to understand different pronunciations and sounds... I am learning French through your videos... thank you very much...

  • @SuperColon2
    Dylane, I surely appreciate these lessons on pronunciation, et vous etes une professeure de le meilleure.
  • @mrahmanshah2474
    Bonjour Dylane et comment allez vous! You discuss different pronunciations of C with example in a very easy way in this lesson & this is very helpful to learn French by using IPA. We are very grateful to your effort. Merci beaucoup pour votre Lesson.
  • I heard the pronunciation of seconde very early in my french learning journey and I couldn't fathom why it sounded like segonde, I never really looked into as I was a very early beginner at the time, I knew I would probably come across it at some point and now I know my ears were correct and it is pronounced like a g! Learning in every lesson! 🙂
  • @Stephanie-gv8rh
    Merci beaucoup 🙏🙏🙏 j’aime votre vidéos ❤️ il y a très utile. This one really helped break down the different pronunciations!
  • This was very interesting, when you had just the letters up without the words I though "oh my" but then when you put up the words it makes sense and really helps. I was pleased about the ___ct words, as we do already say them phew! I came across a word earlier when I was doing mes devoirs, the word is "caoutchouc" WOW, must have been the same person who made up "pneu" 🤣 That will take me a while to get right. So looks like I'm getting to the end of this amazing course, I'll be ordering the Grammar one now 👍🏻

    Your videos are beneficial to learn the sounds. Thank you :)

    Bonjour Dylane! I am working through the pronunciation lessons and am so grateful to have such a great teacher. I have a question that I suspect you will address later, but I am curious. With many words that end in a consonant sound (usually), you add an "e" sound to the word, even though there is no "e" or other vowel at the end. My question is how does one know when that "e" sound should be included? It's like the opposite of a silent letter - the pronunciation of a sound that doesn't appear to be included in the word. I hope that question makes sense. Thank you again for all of your wonderful content!
  • @paulharvey7278
    wow, une seconde/le second, like a "g," i didn't realize that! yet another horrible mispronunciation of mine corrected, thank you!
  • @mcw0805
    Bonjour Dylane! I'm wondering if you are able to talk about palatalisation of the /k/ or /g/sounds in spoken French. For example, "café" is seemingly pronounced more often as [kʲafe] ("kya fe" if you were to spell it out more like English) rather than [kafe]. Similar with the word "garçon" or "gâteau". I'm hearing that when the letters c, g, and qu are followed by certain vowels, they are palatalised.
  • Thanks for your great French teaching. Does "p" pronounce "b" in suspect --- susbect? aspect - asbect? respect - resbect? Thank you!
  • Hi what is the difference between aspect and direct.for aspect we do not read CT,but we read CT for the word direct.

    C in French (hard C) is more like Slender C in Irish ([c]). Hard C in French is like C in Cube.
