For native English speakers like myself, The u en Francais is hard to learn. This is how I was taught: round your mouth like you are going to kiss someone, then say "ee", as in "keep". It takes a lot of practice, but gets easier with time.

[coonassblondie]

I practiced by saying "Zut, zut et zut!" over and over, much to my parents' amusement.

jeje thanx for having the time to teach ppl like me french :} i like ur accent

[affreusecestmoi]

in german you have ö which is like the french e

and ü = u

just wanted to throw that out there, it sounds the same.

[chaconmcfly]

Alguna palabra en espanol que tenga los sonidos similares a la "e" o la "u" francesa?

Tienes alguna idea?

Because I just realize after 6 months of learning french, I just can't get them, the pronunciation is just way unique

[Mamusho]

la "e" es como un golpe en el estomago como la U pero golpeada jeje. y la "U" es igual pero al principio pones una i leve.. supongo..jjeje espero ayude.. :)

In Chinese there are /u/ and /e/ and they are very similar as in French.

[goyacas]

bon jour! c'est vrement bien ton video, est-ce-que vous save se il y a videos avec esplication en portugues, merci beaucup et au revoir

[FrenchTastic1]

Malheureusement, non. Les explications que je donne sont seulement en anglais (ou espagnol, des fois). Your french isn't bad at all. Some modifications: "bonjour! c'est vrAIment bien TA video, est-ce-que vous saveZ s'IL y a DES videos avec DES eXplicationS en portugAIS, merci beaucOup et au revoir" ...:-)

[goyacas]

Meri beaucoup, professor, pour votre reponse, je suis debutent en france il y a 2 mois, je appronde avec un professor francofone, j'ai quelque dute mais je pense que avec votre video,ça va marche ! Salut

[FrenchTastic1]

One more thing. I just realized that one of my students is from Brazil, I can always ask her if she'd be willing to work with you in Portuguese on my French lessons. let me know what you think about it..

[cowbell2000]

oh, thank you very much..

[cowbell2000]

wow cool!!! Que Fantastico!! what does "sacle bleu" stand for in french?

[FrenchTastic1]

I'm sure you meant "sacré bleu" not "sacLé bleu" :-)

This is an old-fashioned French swearing and its equivalent in modern English could be "oh my god" or "(god)damn it" (excuse my French :-)) Hope it helps a bit.

[JesusTickles777]

I hear that a lot. If someone swears they will say, "Excuse my French" as if the swear word came from that language.

[FrenchTastic1]

About "Pardon/Excuse my French"...There's so much to say about these 2 expressions...but part of the answer to your statement can be that, yes, vulgarity has long been associated with the French people, sorry to disappoint you:-) But there are plenty of other theories about the origin of these expressions that have nothing to do with French language being vulgar. Google it for more info.
