English - french standard accent (on purpose!!) fake story

dont laugh at me please, that's not my real accent. You may find many people speaking that way in France... They'd proudly tell you "I speak english good" lol and would talk to you with that kind of very strong accent. It's likely to differ according to the area. OMG i've so many videos to make...

@ilestaucourant I don't think this is the way how french people talk when they try to do their best. The accent on the video is the most exaggerating one, but of course, it can happen.

I'm french and I can tell you, there is no way we talk like this all the time ^^

@mebrowneyedgirl Well, I don't want to seem pretentious, but Greek people often tell me I got a great accent when I speak their language, and I think I have fooled some people ! (until they say something I don't understand xD)

I quite agree with teatilemud, I think that with some time and practice, and hearing the language spoken by native-speakers, you can actually get a good accent !

Maybe some motivation is also necessary, but it's not impossible.

@teatimelud

It's because French and Italian are Romance languages while German, Dutch or Swedish are Germanic languages.

That's why an French is better than a Swedish to learn Spanish or Italian language while a Swedish is better than a French to learn German or Dutch language.

"The French use a range of sound frequencies between 1,000 and 2,000 Hertz, the English cover 4 octaves between 2,000 Hz and 12,000 Hz and the Slavs, known for their gift with languages, hear and express themselves over eleven octaves."

[AuxaneD]

"You can only speak a foreign language well if you can hear it properly. The human ear is designed to pick up a wide range of sound frequencies and perceive an infinite number of rhythms, but in practice, most of us can only recognise the sounds and rhythms of our mother tongue." Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis

@teatimelud No it's true, Check the works of Dr. Alfred Tomatis. Different languages develop different level of "tones" (i don't know what they're called in English) in your internal ear and French doesn't cover a large span of them compared to say Slavic or Germanic languages so it is factually more difficult because of that for a native French speaker to learn languages with more of those "tones" covered, some of whom he's never uttered or heard in his whole life...It's almost like an atrophy
