c'est la lettre "r" qui est tres difficile
|
after so many years, my husband is still trying to master what he calls the "French RRRRRRRR" sound. :D
He always complain that my French accent is not what he hears on educational TV (of course, they are Canadians
speaking with a Parisian accent), or interviews of French politicians on TV (of course, they are from Paris
),....
People always ask " .... your accent ?" , so we collect their guesses ..
... hillarious (Hungarian, Russian, Australian (?), Lebanese !!! ) ...... about the whole world :D .... BUT "no, that's not true, you're not French" !!!! [they sometimes believe "south Philadelphia" before French. :D ]
RESULT: 99% of people think I am German
(je suis du Sud-Ouest .... a bit far from a German accent - in my opinion)
So, to come back on track:
Mike sympathizes with creolophones, the French "R" sound is a tough one for people from South Jersey too. :D
