In German, it’s called „Eichhörnchen“

Skwee-rohl

@Loya Frostwind ​ its probably because the french people try to pronounce it very phonetically whereas fluent English speakers just mush the hell out of the word to become the schwa filled “squirl”

Just like Rural

Skwee rel

@SaltpeterTaffy waaaazooooooohhh

@Miles Monaco (the sequel) 229 That one's easy, it's pronounced "oi-soaks" ...huh? wtf is a "wazo"

meanwhile French with "oiseaux"

And French isnt't 🤣

Those are pronounced like that because of French though... like 40% of English is really just French

I wouldn't say it's impressive, if you did this in any other European country they'd nail it and even have a English/American accent

you know we in europe lern english we have to lern it

While French isn’t a Germanic language like English is, I would say it’s medium difficultly. Romance languages have more things in common with English than say, Mandarin Chinese which is high difficulty. But if you already speak languages like Dutch or German, it should be a breeze for the most part. While I’m learning Russian and Spanish due to my job, I actually tried German words and I was fairly confident in my pronunciation of words.

@Paul M. it isn’t taught it our schools

@M W Me too

I want English to be one language to spoken across , one language , one planet , one world govt , all will be fine

@Hamzah Domeih which is why i said sometimes, what has nuclear bombs got to do with anything on the video, or what i said?

@Aur Yeah. Humans are so cute when they're not dropping nuclear bombs on others

joy is universal :)

She was so obnoxious. Be glad you don't have that energy.

HERE COMES THE SIMP ARMY

Yes

How french colonised West Africa , is beyond my understanding

He is speaking to them in English and you want us to believe they don't know these words?

My mom used to talk to me and my brother in French sometimes but not enough for me to actually learn it. I only understand some. But I feel like I can pronounce French words really good because of her. But I don’t speak it at all

Bonjour!

I speak Both language

@Foxiie XD

@braindead.com🌲🎅 Je sais, je corrigeais juste les anglophones xD

@Foxiie in french but in english yall just wanna be quirky ig

@Hazel ^^

Oh how deep..... /s

The good ol days

@Smok3PurrpI was talking about your theory that every country's government has decided to create a fake virus to implant chips in us.

O K (WTF)

@Mel It's very difficult to overcome once you are older, even by a few years. i wouldn't call that lazy, she did good making sure you wouldn't have to struggle as much! But sometimes its impossible not to poke fun at family. I love making fun of how my northerner Mom pronounces some words like a "proper" southerner now lol. You all sound like a lovely family, too. Hope you have the best new year yet! 🙏🕊🥰

My older sister from mainland China pronounces it as "F" and sje would make sure 6yr old me would not jearr her pronounce it like that. When I was growing up she would make me pronounce it as "th", now I'm an adult, I still bring it up to her whenever she mispronounces. I wouldn't mock her for it if she DIDN'T admit she never corrected herself because she's too lazy.

@T P wait are you under the impression that it's only called English when it's spoken by British people?

@Boo Hastings מים well yeah obviously they speak English, that doesn't prove any of my points incorrect.

@T P I didn’t say they have an English accent, but they speak English. I never said anything about British English.

@Wiyoto TV bener cuk

Choir and quiet are pronounced very similarly, but look nothing alike. If choir was written as quier more people would pronounce it correctly.

It's a trick haha

merle1101 im viet and i do that too lmao

@Meriam T. pas du tt

I’m American and I can speak a lot of French at least some

.

@not paris hilton It's definitely not the most basic.

.

@•Minie Layla• speak for yourself

@Sii kanmhs simply being french doesn't give us any legitimacy to change nor criticize our own language

@ツツ ItzWaluigiTime86 I mean it is I’m not even going to deny that, but I still wish I knew more than two languages

I really like the language too so don’t feel bad and I wish I knew it but I don’t think there’s any hope for me because I only speak English and Spanish. Yeah, I know basic, like bitch tell me a new story.

And they still pronounce "penguins" better than Benedict Cumberbatch.

Not in Bolton

Who would've thought

its true, im naver and i make fun of people that speak broken english

@bappo but i don’t wanna go to bed! >:(

@Mikhail Kalashnikov rest now, my child

@Chuunosuke (The Squishiest Lawyer) Yeahhh, I see where you're coming from, I can imagine how annoyin that must be to have ppl tailing you on serious topics, like, really dude, good to know that you were "listening", lmao. But yeah, I'd ignore those kinds of ppl tbh, it's good that they know their video games and all, but their is a time and place for things like that. But what really surpises me is the fact that people still remember the game, if anything, I thought I was the only one who still remembers, and the fact that it's been 6 yrs too, like wow, time really flies by. And yeah, it's completely up to you if you want to change ur pfp, after all, it's your account and you're free to do what u wish with it. Personally for me, I change my pfp like, every month/2 months depending on how I'm feeling, lol. And also, you can change it back to Mae whenever you wish as well.

@Ash yeahhh sadly it's rarity is why i really wanna change it...I've had it for about 6 years now and I'm a little sick of people mentioning it all the time...No offense meant to you, of course! I don't mind it on light-hearted video comments like here, but when I'm commenting about social issues or personal trauma and people reply with "OMG MAE!!!11!!!1! I GOT CUPS ON MY EARS!!" it kinda makes you wanna...change your online identity lol

Completely unrelated to the topic, but this is the first time i've ever seen someone with a Night In The Woods pfp, it's such a good game, but sadly, very underrated.

@Meowind yeah true! Im sure it'd be easier with some prior knowledge of the language. I learned spanish in school, not french, so I'd be better off trying to guess some Spanish words. But even as a native speaker, i would've struggled with psychotomimetic lol.

Well we do learn English in class. So we're at least somewhat familiar

@zumoa how it’s offensive lol wtf If that’s offensive then calling someone short or tall or white etc should be also offensive but people don’t care then

@Jeffrey Dahmer HAHAHA I DON’T REMEMBER THIS??? WHY DID I DO THAT

@Seniru Kankanamge nah i dont even remember saying that ?? 😟

@Sophia Brooks ok

@Bhavat Arangam that’s not racist bro

@O Dab Well no shit, they don't speak English lmfao

I am American and french is the best sounding language imo

@Leo moi aussi

Well, our english accent sounds horrible imo 😅

He was stoned as fuck.

Nothing gets between a french dude and his baguette.

I would love for her to teach me some French stuff.

3u41c Weirdo

Ofc he had a wine bottle 🤣

Same😂😂that one moment

@louveteau love le monde french is the last accent i think of when i think aggressive (im american)

@el ibiskus c’est un peu difficile a parler parce que je parle anglais avec tout le monde sauf mes parents (français et belge) mais je comprend le français très bien.

@rose gold ohhh bah désoler 😂 j'aurai voulu savoir parce qu'on ne s'entend pas parler français donc on peut pas savoir. Mais c'est pas difficile le français pour toi ?

@el ibiskus je parle français mais je n’écrit pas très bien parce que j’habite aux états-unis. mais je pense que le français est plus beau/elegant que l’anglais.

I am french btw

What about 'recite' and 'recipe' ?

LMAO thats why YOU are the man! You have invested your time wisely!

Hmm perhaps you might consider milling about the Eiffel Tower on a daily basis, you might meet one of these guys.

Ha ha choir is the only one I didn't know 🤣🤣🤣

😂

I means like, in french "oi" is typically pronunced "wa"

@Hailey oh "choir" itself exists in french, it's one of the words for "to fall". Granted it's very outdated and we mostly say "tomber" but yeah they tried to pronounce it like that.

im guessing they used their background knowledge of choix (a word in french) to pronounce choir

@Anelkia🌹 noun

Well it's a french verbe... So they thinked it's would be pronounced the same, I guess.

LOL

Now try teaching him the word “sheet”

that story is gold hahaha!!

HAHHAAH!!

No offense to the pupil😅🤚

English is one of those languages that unfortunately got frozen in time. Meaning a lot of the pronunciations changed but the spelling stayed the same

exactlyy, i used to think it was pronounced “chore”

Qwier

100% lol lol lol

Army

@Ichtvan H AU AU AU!!!!!!!

I studied French for 4 years and yet I’d still probably f*ck up

Ce serais trop bien

Yasssssssssssssss

what

@Lucanard "'My taylor is rich"

@Attoumaki Dakaina ouais

@Lucanard sarcasme

Fun fact : it's often a common joke to say that in France, like whe say some shitty english and then we say "Hello my name is * * * * i speak very well english" with a shitty accent

She does though

It's because this is also a word that exists in french (it means "fall")

Because that’s how it’s pronounced in French based on how our letters sound, the “ch” makes a “Sh” sound for us

@VectoRZ _ Fall in french is "tomber"

Actually squirrel is pretty close to the ancestor esquireul, closer than the modern french pronunciation.

@Nils jesus thats why hahahah I confuse wollen with english would, my bad hahaa

@CPCH it means i just wanted to write that too

@Heinrich Hitzinger can you give me an example of front rounded vowel. Bitte u.u (i say bitte because your name, sounds pretty german :v)

@Nils i pretty understnd what mean everyword what you have said, but i cant put them together to make a sentence :v Ich - i Wollte - would past tense Das- neutral article Auch - too Grade - im not sure about this Schreiben - to write Ich lerne deutsch.

But when an American pronounce a word in French that's not better than us, aren't you? 🙂

@「natalie」 you never stop learning

I didnt expect this to blow up lol 😅

@「natalie」 it took me 2/3 years to learn the vocabulary and im still trying to perfect my accent

C’est trop drôle le gamin était comme “non mais ça c’est bizarre” 😂

Couldn’t be me

Its pingouin* 😂

In my country, we have kongguan (biscuit):v

@Nellie C. I think you'll find like everyone a lot of cute words in french this is a well beloved language, I think so :)

@Gorgeousmali oooh I didn't know that! That is honestly so cute 😄

😂

He was trying to pronounce "ss" as "sasa", "ss" should be pronounce as "z". He is taking it as a scientific phonetic script.

No no is a thing in France he was doing that so he would have an excuse if he pronounced wrong that why he was speaking slowly when eating and being a lil quiet

He should try beer then..

💀💀

I don't know if "nice" is the right word lol

@hweirdo nop nop, you don't do linguistic you 👀

To speak english we have to mispronounce our own language basically.

@rafikicaillou Choir is the only example here that is different because of the multiple definitions it has and the respelling it got. It used to be spelled with a starting q. And yes, most Old French words have barely changed pronunciation in English.

@hweirdoChoir was used in several different French regions because it comes from latin so do some research and stop bullshtting about a hypothetical good english prononciation on french words. Basic reasoning and basic linguistics. Start a comedy show you obviously have good jokes and if you come to France, tell me, I will buy you a ticket.

@rafikicaillou Other way around. English uses the original pronunciations in almost every case, though most words were borrowed from Norman French. It's French that has changed. Basic linguistics.

No it’s because that’s how the French language is made up lol

Lolll

@Polly well yeah.. but thats not what was being discussed lol

She was mocking herself, she was being ironic

I speak English gooder than u

That's non-verbal french face 😂

@Chin Mustache Yup Yup, I'm also aware Oh well, what can you do Q^Q Have a nice rest of the day ^^

@Mat That happens a lot, especially on anime-related videos

Hey, I think I saw your brother a few videos ago

they inhale with in this :o

IKRRR LIKE THE LIVING DEF OF GASPING IN FRENCH

@anaya tyagi 0:36

I dont hear it please someone give a time stamp

Panda Dust LMAO WHY DID I LAUGH AT THIS XD

I have been studying english for almost all my life, I'm pretty fluent and my pronunciation is not that bad. Honestly it's true, if you try, you can actually learn a language :) But I don't know how to study french, it's like, I've been trying for months and everything I see just confuses me the way more, even though French is pretty similar to spanish (my native language)- I FIND JAPANESE EASIER AND I DON'T GET WHY 😭

English as a language is an upside down pyramid. It has a narrow entry point so the basics can be learned fairly quickly. A non-native speaker only needs to know a few words for a native speaker to understand, and perhaps fill in some grammatical gaps. Then it gets more complex as you hit all the weird spelling, odd pronunciation rules (ough has 6 different sounds!), endless idioms and, especially here in Britain, regional variations in phrases, use of slang etc. A lot of languages are the opposite. They have a very wide entry point but get easier as you go. We're just very lucky that so many other people speak our language.

I learned some German and the Grammer was weird

@Strange_Gentleman no matter how i dislike russia, their language makes sense. English is pretty much the only language together with danish that make no sense. There are 0 words that are pronounced as they are written, and in whole english alphabet only 1 letter is spelled as it is written. :D Rest are like, A is not spelled A, its spelled EI for example in english. But if you look at original old english, its actually spelled as its written, but over time, most likely during danish conquests of england, it got stupified.

Everything about russia makes no sense, the alphabet, the grammar, and the pronunciation

@Reinis Aizsilnieks that doesnt help at all lol

@ツツ ItzWaluigiTime86 Non aucune ne prime. J'aime la beauté que peut avoir le sacrifice, une belle peinture, le sens qu'elle véhicule ou un texte extrêmement bien écrit. Effectivement là je me suis basé sur les bases de la linguistique: la science des langues qui décrit leur évolution et leur comportement. J'ai dit que l'année dernière avait justement été la dernière où j'avais eut des cours de Français, j'ai donc 17 ans. Je ne voulais pas paraître hautain ou quoique ce soit, juste avertir sur le fait que les langues ça ne se décide pas, les gens ne parlent pas mal et il n'y à pas de problème au changement, et que tu risque de mal te faire voir à vouloir borner quelque chose de si utile que la langue (je parle de bloquer son évolution). Bref si tu écris je te souhaite bonne écriture, si tu aimes les sciences je te souhaite bonne curiosité. Je pense que mon profil est pas mal, ne pas se fier à son coeur, ne pas se fier à sa raison mais combinée les deux. Exemple: aimer son passé, trouver magnifique le sacrifice pour la France et accepter le changement, que ça n'a pas de sens, etc. Bref bonne journée ^^

@Landrial Mon Dieu, un double profil ? Abandonner mission, on rentre à la base, c'est peine perdue, ces gens-là sont dangereux, retirement des troupes je répète ON SE REPLIIIIIIIE Bref, dans la balance de ton estime, les sciences doivent primer, je pense pouvoir le dire. On va partir du principe que tout ceci n'est qu'une question d'opinion, que celle-ci est la tienne et que je la respecte sans pour autant l'approuver. J'ai une dernière question avant que nous ne passions tout deux notre chemin, si ce n'est pas trop indiscret, quel âge as-tu et en quelle classe es-tu ? Enfin si tu es encore dans tes études...

@ツツ ItzWaluigiTime86 j'ai des connaissances en linguistique oui. Et elle ne sont pas hautement discutable, elle casse juste des idées reçues. La caractéristique primaire de communiquer suffit largement à transmettre des idées complexes sans se cantonner des formulations inutilement complexes. C'est toi qui t'entends ? La littérature en premier ? Sérieusement ? J'ai fini la littérature dans ma vie l'année dernière et je trouve presque honteux que tu y mette autant d'importance, oubliant le but d'une langue. Notre langue est facile, je ne parle pas de moi, je parle du groupe humain que nous sommes qui se complexifie la compréhension avec d'anciennes barrières linguistiques qui n'ont plus lieu d'être que d'honorer notre héritage. Je ne veux pas le faire disparaître mais comprendre que l'entièreté est inutile et que le changement n'a jamais cessé. Encore une fois ce n'est pas moi qui fait évoluer la langue mais un groupe humain, et c'est inconscient, et ça doit se faire pour pouvoir décrire plus efficacement des situations, des objets, des concepts nouveaux etc. Si les langues qu'ils parlaient en leur temps, aussi soutenu soit-elle leur était couramment parler, dans le sens où ils n'avaient pas complexité a écrire leurs texte. J'écris moi-même, les figures de styles, les images, les sensations évoquées, tout ça vient naturellement. Aucunement besoin de te faire comprendre que si tu parles avec un paysan du seizième siècle il parlera mieux que Victor Hugo selon la logique de "c'était mieux avant". Ce n'est pas une obsession de simplifier bordel. ÇA SE FAIT DEPUIS TOUJOURS ET ÇA N'A JAMAIS CESSÉ. Tu dois sans doute avoir un profil littéraire ;) Moi j'ai un profil scientifique et littéraire, les deux au même niveau. Si c'est pas beau ça ^^

@Landrial Et qu'est-ce qui te permet d'intervenir en tant que tel ? As-tu donc des qualifications spéciales, es-tu linguiste pour affirmer toutes ces choses, qui de plus sont hautement discutables, avec autant d'assurance ? Renvoyer la langue à sa fonction primaire de simplement "vouloir communiquer" c'est du nivellement par le bas. La langue doit impérativement à un moment où à un autre exprimer des sentiments, idées ou concepts complexes, et pour cela il faut des mots, expressions et tournures de langues complexes qui, non, ne peuvent pas être simplifiées. La littérature, secondaire ? Non mais tu t'entends parler. Tu prônes la maturité mais pour moi tu as simplement l'air d'un collégien que ça dérange de vouloir apprendre une langue aussi dure que le français, avec des mots de 25 lettres, j'en passe et des meilleures. Parler d'être "réactionnaire" tout en voulant à tout prix apporter des changements à une langue qui fonctionne très bien comme elle est, pour quel bien, dans quel but ? Des changements minimes qui de toutes façons ne feront pas avancer la société d'un pouce. Et puis je ne complexifie pas la langue puisqu'elle est d'elle-même complexe à la base. Et non le langage courant n'a pas toujours été le seul employé à travers l'histoire, puisqu'il y a toujours eu des classes sociales différentes allant des riches aux pauvres (pour simplifier) et leur niveau de langage approprié. Quoiqu'il en soit, cette obsession de vouloir tout simplifier, ça me rappelle beaucoup ce que l'on fait en cours de maths, à vouloir simplifier des expressions à un même dénominateur commun, tu ne serais pas un certifié profil scientifique, par hasard ? ;)

@TTTwice my brain's immediate reaction: chat noir

Words like chat, chien, cheval, etc are all pronounced with sh. In english we pronounce it like k for words like choir, so you cant blame them

@Esteban Bolduc dans le petit chaperon rouge, lorsque l on dit « et la bobinette cherra » c est le verbe choir au futur qui veut dire tomber. Ou quand on a pas relancer une page internet, il y a qq fois ecrit : votre temps d attente est échu (donc terminé, du verbe échoir). Apres c est sur, on ne l emploit plus tous les jours 😄

@Thomas Lomba in french "oi" is kind of pronouced as "wa" so they say is like that

@charlotte lbd Ah, je ne connaissait pas le mot dsl

@Linda Meadowfly Gg, I’m proud of u son

I am French and I can pronounce "Squirrel", I am fucking 12 😎

My dad is French and trust me he just dies whenever he is faced with the word squirrel

I am French and I Can prononce it

@Trad Svarldh Wrong. Im Canadian. Don’t forget us. 1 out of every 3 Canadians can either speak French fluently or can understand enough.

Yeah because that's how it would be pronounced in french because of the ''ch'', it's basically like how English people pronounce ''sh'' like ''shit'' for example.

Sunny Fall it's pronounced like ”squrl”

Even in British English they still pronounced it wrong

who cares about accents and america?

Krul Side no it’s not wrong because people have different accents and dialects in America so the same word can be pronounced differently depending on your region you live in there are even some words that are only said in certain regions too

Omg they pronounced some of the words wrongs bc in French, the last letter is usually silent, the vowel sound different, and the grammar rules are different then ours. Most of them were still able to say the word...

Elle a envie de Lui c'est tout

@P01 i didn’t know french people were famous for their eye contact

he said “ sicth “ 😂

aum frrr
