I want to see Americans pronounce difficult French words. Like, squirrel is tricky for non-Americans. Ecureuil is hard for non francophones to say.
I think you mean squirrel is difficult for non-English speakers, right? The only way Americans say it differently is to drop the e and say it in one syllable. Everyone else pronounces the e and with 2 syllables.
I want to hear Americans pronouncing English words the way Brits do. Half of these "wrong" answers were closer to how I'd say them (from Scotland).
It's not a "ree"noceros, so it's not an otoREEnolaryngologist. Also, that's basically a Latin word anyway.
@@andymcl92 In French, we learn english and pronuncing the way english people does. When i studied it in school, my teacher told us US pronunciation is almost the same than english, you just have to tell the words while imagining chewing a potatoe :)
I like to understand who Americans peoples prononce " anticonstituellement" ๐ or " gynรฉcologue" or " bissextile" or " buraliste" or " potelet" or " copropriรฉtรฉ " or " dyslexique" or " Ornithorynque"
Interesting you chose the word squirrel because that is the same word Germans choose as a challenging word to say for English speakers: Eichhรถrnchen, which I find fun to say lol. I tried pronouncing French words by site reading and NOPE, I'm terrible at it.
Funniest thing is that most of these words are french originally and were imported into english langage like theatre, paradigm, temperature etc. ๐
Latin bro
@@anilsoyunmez9280 No French
Theatrum - Thรฉรขtre - Theatre
Paradigma - Paradigme - Paradigm
Temperatura - Tempรฉrature -Temperature
Testudo - Tortue - Turtle
Those words didn't come directly from latin in the English vocabulary like it did for the so called latin languages; Spanish, Portuguese, French, Romanian, Romansh. They came from the french language because French was spoken by the Royal families and was the administration language.
@@yvanvong16 Not all of them. Some get borrowed directly from latin during english renaissance. I think paradigm and temperature are two of those. For theatre you are right. But correct me if im wrong.
@@anilsoyunmez9280 i think most of them were borrowed from french when Guillaume the conqueror took over England.
@@zaydalaoui9397 Tโas totalement raison mais les anglophones ne comprennent pas forcรฉment quand tu dis Guillaume le conquรฉrant ils disent William the conqueror ou William the Bastard
As an Englishman, I found the pronounciation of the words just fine, for example "turtle". I feel the lady was looking for a specific regional American accent, which is obviously not the sole correct way to say the word in question, as there are many variations. The French subjects all clearly had a great grasp of the English language, so it seemed a bit of a non event, in my opinion.
Your last phrase basically sums up the Buddhist concept of emptiness...what here ISN"T a nonevent?
But UK people frequently do not pronounce the "R", so that is what she was referencing, I believe. TURTLE not tuhtle. And the American did cite several variations in pronunciation. That being said, we Americans are guilty of quite a few mispronunciations. Often, we mispronounce "mispronunciation".
The" r" of the word turtle, should be spelled to not confuses others with others words like tut, tuht, others wprds and abreviations, english is a neolatine idiom, the consonants should be spelled in day by day.
@@Hrng270ur is a digraph. The u with the r are pronounced as with er in English.
We French say "Tortue ๐ข" simple as that. We don't rely on pronunciation.
Watching her hit these people when they're pronouncing it right is r/mildly infuriating.
Agreed!
As an American I both disagreed with onceโs she passed and agree with ones she didnโt
@@_LifeofDy She's not judging on pronunciation. She's judging on accent.
She was being just really pedantic, which is frankly a European specialty, so no Europeans can complain without looking like hypocrites.
But bonus points for the reddit r/mildlyinfuriating reference ๐ฏ

I think Jazz was way too harsh with this, at one point it was even difficult to watch. They pronounced the words just fine.
I think Jazz is extremely articulate and has the deep understanding of a native English speaker who paid attention in school, isn't lazy and likes to articulate words properly. I hate when people butcher English I think she should have swung that hammer HARD.
@@MichaelDespairs Except, she's not speaking English.. she's speaking "American".
Which means most of her obtuse pronounciation.. is actually INCORRECT !

thank you
I thought it was just me!
@@goofygrandlouis6296 You can't even pronounce the word "No." Try it. Start small, try the word "No." Did you say "nauurrr" well sorry you're illiterate. America is the target audience of the world by the way, not the UK.
It would have been interesting to hear both the full french pronounciation of these words, as well as their french equivalent.
Hopefully they will be our French pronunciation in the upcoming video
For Intel, we French don't really pronunce our words. No need to bother it
Most of the words presented here are actually of french/latin origin before even being transposed in English so in most of these cases, the french pronunciation would be way closer to the original version of the words than english pronunciation
You almost got them already. Most of these words were french words so every time they failed to pronounce was because of the original french pronounciation.
@@Guillean22The English Language came from our French language. 40% of it ๐ฌ๐งโก๏ธ๐จ๐ต
โ@@christophermichaelclarence6003Yeah, I was wondering why some of the words were stolen. Such as the words Mural, Connoisseur, Chauffeur, Entrepreneur, etc.
I don't believe anyone mispronounced the words. Jazz didn't take into account that everyone pronounces words differently even in the U.S. She just wanted them to speak like Where's she from.
Yeah, especially the theatre one, I know people who pronounce it as โthee-uh-tuhโ or โthee-eh-tuhโ. Itโs still the same word.
Letโs also have Americans pronounce some advanced French words.
I agree with you, we can see how this sort of concept is a terrible idea.
no
No it's fine alltheir doing is just trying to pronounce words in American ๐
I think thatโs the point though, for them to replicate how she says it.
Just wanna say that all the French guests were very intelligible for me as an English speaker, like I can understand them 100%. And they're accents are so cute!!
And just wanted to add to, so many people study English that it comes in so many accents, and for the most part, we pretty much understand most of it, and it's not really a big deal. So if you're feeling insecure about your accent, don't worry too much and just speak it to the best of your ability and most English speakers will try to understand you :)
รa va alors, si ont prononce bien des mots franรงais que les anglais ont empruntรฉ et qu'ils y ont mis un nouvelle accent. xD
And I want to remind you that you donโt have to be nice all the time. If theyโre saying a word incorrectly then they should be hit, thats the game bruh. They donโt speak perfect English and thats ok, most ESL learners never will.
This judge is bad. Iโm not even through everyone trying to pronounce โthoroughโ and itโs already evident. Most people have pronounced it the same exact way during the first round and she is only bonking some of them. The second round is an improvement and sheโs still penalizing them.
Maybe you can't hear the difference because you aren't a native English speaker?
@@Prometheus4096 Maybe I canโt hear the difference she is hearing, no. I am a native speaker though. ๐คท๐ป
@@motherpanic If your language lacks a certain sound, you don't hear it the same way. Which is one of the reasons why people have accents in the first place.
Where are you from?
@@emmanuelwood8702 America.
The thing that makes it difficult here is that most of the words are actually very similar in french :
Yacht is also yacht
Temperature is tempรฉrature
Movie theatre is cinรฉma but we've got thรฉรขtre for theatre
Otorhinolaryngologist is otorhinolaryngologiste
and Paradigm is paradigme
You can tell how the Americans even the British how much they used our French Words.
It goes from the Hundred Years War.
๐ซ๐ทโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฆ
Yacht is a dumb word. The origin is with a normal A and a hard K. Jaght or Jakt. Yacht just butchered the origin and doesn't even fit the language its in.
Yatch is a frisian word, imported by dutch and english idioms .
I'm French (born and raised in France later moving to an English speaking country) and they said most of the words correctly and I feel like they got a bonk on the head for no apparent reason which made me mad I remember having an accent but ppl still understood me but she bonked their heads bcs they didn't have an American accent that's unfair imo
thats the whole point of the video
@@TehStormOG no it's not they said the words properly just with an accent they can't change that that wasn't the whole point of the vid it wasn't a point at all
I couldn't pronounce French properly no matter how hard I tried. These people are doing a fine job AFAIC
honestly try harder then,
@@francecb410 I can't make some of sounds. For example, I can't roll my R's. That's not a character flaw...lol

I think she was often arbitrary about what she would pass or reject. I would say she was being pedantic, but her explanations were often simply wrong and didn't even describe her own speech. Most of the contestants had rather thick French accents, but even when their pronunciation of the word was perfectly fine, she often rejected it. Trying to please her couldn't have been much fun for the contestants.
J'ai l'impression qu'ils prononcent correctement les mots et que je ferais totalement pas mieux X). Mais quand elle dit le mot en anglais je vois pas de diffรฉrence
je suis anglais et ils ont prononcรฉ la plupart d'entre eux correctement. le juge รฉtait juste vraiment mauvais ๐ฅฒ
T'a vu mois aussi je pensai รงa je parle la langue aussi et ils ont dit presque toute le mots correctement
Yeah. Iโm an American and she did a bad job judging.
I fell like they should've had someone who teaches English to non-English speakers, because they were saying some of these words correctly and she still marked it as incorrect. . .
I was getting confused at first because some of them that sounded wrong to her actually sounded right to me but now I see what this is about it's not pronouncing difficult English words it's pronouncing difficult English words the way Americans pronounce them.
The judge was not doing it right -- if you ask people from Washington State, Southern California, Ohio, Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Maine to say "yacht" you'll hear 8 variations. It's very hard to find a word that all Americans pronounce in the same way because just like in other countries there is a wide range of dialects here. Pronouncing "theater" with a French accent is fine -- there is nobody in the USA who won't understand what you mean. ๐
The judge was overly focused on dialect instead of pronunciation. Heck she even mispronounced mischievous -- dialect doesn't get to insert new syllables into the word. ๐
Some of these words were pronounced fine - they just got a bop on the head for not pronouncing with an American accent ๐
Their pronunciation was pretty bad actually she ok'd them when she should have bumped them several times.
@@emmanuelwood8702 no the prononciation seems good for me
@@Theswitchers2 Yeah but English is your second language though. You don't hear the differences.
@@emmanuelwood8702 you very much do... there's diffrent accent's around the world so... it really doesn't matter babes.., and don't assume everyones second language is english just cause it is doesn't mean you're bad-
@@Raven_stan What?? You need to rewrite this it doesnโt make sense.
english speakers will be like 'these words are so difficult i'm sure they will be confusing to these people who speak another language' and then the words come from latin and the other language is french
In re: "mischievous" -- One of my English teachers in high school *hated* the "miss-chee-vee-us" pronunciation (since there's no I after the V) and she threatened to give a "zero for the day" if anyone said it like that in her class. Since it's not a commonly used word, it never came up, but her making a big deal about it stuck with me, so I always make sure to use the "miss-chiv-us" way instead as a result.
I was also going to say something about this! Itโs technically incorrect to say it with the additional syllable and โeeโ sound. As well as, the stress is supposed to be in the MIS just like it is in MIS-chief.
I guess this word have a normand etimology, it's a hard word in pronounciation til today.
Level hard. A hard latine word to say.
In my country both are correct
I would have waited until I was no longer in her class then said it just to irk her. ๐๐๐
It is interesting which lessons stick with us.
It reminds me of when I was in school: My teacher would correct me when I called something difficult "hard". She would say, "that's not hard, this is hard" (banging on the table). What a bitch. ๐
To be perfectly honest itโs not uncommon for Americans to pronounce the same word in different ways depending on the situation or mood. Case in point the word literally. Usually it becomes a four syllable word when people want to add emphasis. Interest is another that can go multiple ways.
Ann Dee i was repairing in one detail that can help usonians and bahamians, belizeans to pronounce theses neolatines hard words, it's follow the eclesial latin and modern latin pronounciation cos modern english and middle, and hodiern english are neolatin idioms cos came from franc normand idiom, the brother of french parisian idiom that is spoken in all the world theses 2 idiom came from eclesial latin idiom the same base of hodiern english.
Many anglophones spellings are fake invents fakes spellings to neolatines words, it's unnecessary today and for the future. And the eclesial latin pronounciation in english its the same without fakes rotacisms of vowels or consonants, more educated more polited than usonian spelling, that's a minor difference in detail, in pratice not counts.๐คญ๐คญ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ. Hugs.
Me! Its Pee-can when Im talking about the nut or the tree and Pecan when its in the name of a dish.
They need to get a southerner on here to confuse them! It'd be funny to watch tbh.
Me watching her hit the people who pronounce "thorough" the same as me ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ
honestly the lady was looking for a very specific american accent and itโs very unfair
And she wasnโt even consistent with that.
Jazz must be fired!
For being uncharacteristically (for an American) pedantic? Because French people specialize in pedantry tbh
โ@@Ivan-fm4eh don't need to feel inferior, hon
@@liul They shouldn't feel inferior. French people have great coffee, cigarettes and croissants (the Three Great Cs).
I think it was a bit unfair because she excepted the west coast American accent for each word which is not the only way to pronounce English words. The third girl from our left to right, seemed to pronounce a few words properly but with a non Californian accent and she still got bumped lol
@@Ivan-fm4eh Other people in the world smoke WAY more than us... please STOP this clichรฉ about French people!!!

Itโs almost like a tongue twister๐
ฮฉฯฮฟฯฮนฮฝฮฟฮปฮฑฯฯ ฮณฮณฮฟฮปฯฮณฮฟฯ
Oto-rino-laringo-lรฒgos
In ancient Hellenic oto means ears ๐๐ป
Rino (rinikรฒ) means nose ๐๐ป
Lร ringas > larynx means throat
And lรฒgos goes at the end of many doctor professions.
So, heโs a doctor for the ear-nose-throat system, cause theyโre all connected.
We are usually saying โorilร โ using the first letter of each โpartโ
That's so cool
Why did you randomly puke a random fact??
The word may have Greek roots but it's an English word in that form, so it follows English pronunciation rules.
Funny because in French it would be Otorhinolaryngologiste
That's simply great because Greece is bloody awesome, I'm very glad our French language has kept thousands roots and derivations from Greek. Hail to the Greek language, culture, mythology and people !
As an English speaker who is learning French, she was literally bonking some people that pronounced the words the same exact way as some others. Like thorough. Someone said it a way and someone else said it the same exact way but the girl only bonked one person
That last girl definitely knows her English itโs spot on and I donโt blame them for having a hard time but itโs also accent that makes it sound different I think she discredited them a little too much but yeah I would definitely do worse learning French I probably wouldnโt be even close ๐
The way this girl was docking them for SAYING THE WORDS RIGHT! Miss girl maybe you need an English class cause they were fine.
What is funny is that some of the words come from old Norman French.
Mischievous in American English is ONLY pronounced mis-cheh-vus.. Every other pronunciation is just common errors. It doesnโt mean it is an acceptable form of pronunciation, itโs just an often mispronounced word. Like for example some people say SAHL -MON with the L sound, but really the only correct way to say it is Sah-Mun
No it isn't babe... then why is the L there? Why do english speakers find words but don't pronounce some letters in it ... and english words originated from other languages too
@@Raven_stan L is silent there. French has even more silent letters
it is acceptable, deal with it
Cutos to all the french people. I absolutley love their accents
This is so typically American - judging others based on their own standards and wanting everyone to be the same as they.
The title of this should be, "French trying Californian pronunciation of English words".
This comment is so typically European - not understanding that not everything is a pissing contest, and being unable to get loose and have fun. Way too many Euros have a stick rammed up their butts, esp whenever an American is somehow present.

Isnโt the premise of this video to pronounce English wordsโฆ. not pronounce English words with an American accent?
Many of the times, they were bopped on the head. They had pronounced the word fine, just with a French accent. A lot of them even pronounced it exactly the same, but were told only some were correct.
Also a lot of the corrections felt a little patronizing. Itโs giving silly American.
You have to remember that these things get official names often after they are filmed.
Judging by the reactions of the people being hit, I'm willing to bet the directions were to guess how *she* pronounced them.
She even says she doesn't want to hit them and they reassure her.
It'd be a different reaction if the instructions were different.
they were literally saying them right and still got bonked? Iโm upset at this

The rhino in Otorhinolaryngologist, isnโt pronounced Thule the city of Reno, itโs pronounced like the rhino in rhinoceroses. The the first i is pronounced with a long i sound not a short one.
The french rhinocรฉros ?
I agree it should be a long i like in "fine". I've only heard "rhinoplasty" pronounced with a long i, so I assume "otorhinolaryngologist" would be the same. I know that in French i is pronounced like the double e in "sheet" but that's rarely the case in English.
As someone who is born in the u.s and grew up here, i had no idea how to say the first word through until now. I thought it was pronounced throw or thought without the T. TvT no one taught me this but i should know it and i already forgot how to pronounce it when when typing this. Im going to just rewatch the part when she says the word the right way until i vet it right
It depends where I'm from in the UK, I wouldn't say it like her we would pronounce it thuru

As a American and a Californian I think the French and other countries donโt understand that we donโt really care about accents as much as we care about your ability to communicate. United States is a huge melting pot with many people from all over the World. What I mean is can I understand you? Because I donโt have time to waste. You could be holding up the line at lunchtime or something. Nobody has time to correct you on your accent. Today this little old Asian lady was ordering a sandwich from a Latina girl that was working. The old lady was holding up the line during lunch because of her inability to communicate with the girl. Which created more stress as more and more people entered the store. English was for both of them their second language. everybody knows you only get 30-45 min lunch. As long as you speak clearly and directly. You should do fine. As an American I noticed when I go to other countries people get hung up on proper pronunciation and I find it a waste of time and a little pretentious.
That's all very fascinating, especially considering the video is about an American correcting people on their pronunciation.
It was a black guy with the hammer in the other video also, it sounds like one of these pro-black bs program or smth.
As a native Californian Iโve heard people say we donโt pronounce our โTโsโ and I canโt unhear it. When she(the American) said โTurtleโ she pronounced it as TurโขDul so in a way weโre not even annunciating the words correctly either.๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

7:39 It's actually oto RHINO as in rhinoceros, but I'm sure we pronounce it the other way like the city Reno in Nevada.
This is great. I wonder how English speakers would say French words
Thereโs a video on thar
As an English person, this is interesting. We pronounce most of these words differently to the American pronunciation.
Thorough, for example, is pronounced thuruh/ thurrer.
The way the guy in the white t-shirt initially said turtle is how we would say it.
We say Yot for yacht.
Mischievous- mid-chee-vus
I agree, the question was 'how would you pronunce this in English', the question was not " how would you pronounce this in America". A lot of American pronunciation is totally not the way these questions would be spoken in other English speaking countries.
@@sammidee4713 U.S population, migration and influence supersedes the rest though
โ@@sammidee4713 I thought that since she had said, "Wait, American!" when that girl tried to pronounce something in an English accent, that maybe the people running the channel had specified it to an American accent/pronunciation. We didn't actually hear what her instructions were.

American trying to tell French how to speak English.. using mainly French words..
These are all American pronunciations and words. Bear in mind that France is right next to England and French are taught British English in school
Yes, I think it made the challenge a bit harder for them because it was American English. Although the girl all the way to the right studied in the US. I think they all did fairly well, though ๐ Or at least gave a very solid effort.
It's a bit more complicated than that. We're taught British English at school BUT we're mainly influenced by American soft power (movies, series, music etc.)
As a result, we get confused all the time and we tend to mix different pronunciations but always the wrong way... ๐

You guys are ragging too hard on the American girl. Of course she is going to pronounce words with a California accent/inflection. There was an English guy with the hammer a few weeks ago, and he absolutely mutilated words of Native American origin. You cannot tell me those words were of English etymology and pronunciation. I did not hear you UK people complaining then.
Don't take it personally Desertwalker. There's no right or wrong. Language evolves. They should say or point out at the start of the video, that this is how an American pronounces the words, other options are available. And likewise for the video of an English guy mispronouncing Native American words.
Exactly!
YALL picking on the American girl like she made it her mission to annoy you all ๐ She JUST did her job...She clearly was there to judge their AMERICAN prononciation. It's the producers's fault for not being more specific in their title....

Some of this can differ depending on the region of the USA. I have heard some people from the Southeast say theater as thee ay ter. I think most Americans would say they are going to the movies and not use the word theater unless itโs a stage production type. We donโt tend to use cinema that much per se but we often say cinematography. Contrary to popular belief we also say film but it tends to be in certain contexts. For example I say film festival, feature film, film school. I wouldnโt ever refer to a documentary as a movie, but I would call a documentary a film.
Iโm sorry but French accents are so silly but not like in a bad way just if they speak with the littlest bit of dominance or confidence I cannot take them seriously ๐ญ๐ญ

We have the most Time zones and secretly the 5th largest country in the World. Bigger than Brazil
It's due to Overseas Territories (colonies)
Can you have them try to pronounce Worcestershire sauce
Worstashire ๐
English is one of the easiest languages out there. Thatโs why most English speakers canโt even learn any basic foreign language.
The American girl looks like Lesley-Ann Brandt (Mazikeen in Lucifer)
Alright, I can see it.
beautiful
The American actually doesnโt know how to say otorhinolaryngologist either. Itโs oh-toe-rhino (like the animal) at the beginning. I have never heard anyone pronounce it like her and knowing the root words you can be certain she is incorrect.
Suck a long fucking word.
We French say ORL
Right!? I thought the exact same thing, and it has the same root word rhino- like in rhinoplasty (a nosejob) and nobody says reeno-plasty, it's RIE-no-plasty
I can imagine Jazz hazing people in a sorority
oof I pronouce "thorough" differently xd
Ouate ze matteur wiv our accent ?
There's a lot of words in which we struggle, such as this damn squirrel ๐
Courage les amis, vous vous en รชtes bien sorti.

Ils se sont bien bien sorti.
Imagine c'est l'inverse. On verra qui rira le dernier ๐ฆโฌ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ท
An American correcting English of French people, I mean shouldnโt it be a British person?
Why? Americans speak American English, which is still a dialect of the English language. Or do you just mean because the UK is closer to France and a lot of the French people probably learned British English?
@@ponyxaviors4491 yes and another reason being British English is the original English, we all modified it accordingly.
@@minniev5993 It's funny to me that people think of British English as being the "original," when it has changed so much over time too, like the other dialects. English speaking people from even just a few hundred years ago would be shocked at hearing the English spoken in the UK now. And in fact, some of the pronunciation of the American dialect of English is closer to the accent spoken in England in the past. The English accent has changed in some areas where the American dialect didn't evolve as much. Of course, the American accent has evolved in other areas though. Overall, no one speaks English the way any of our ancestors did and more than likely if we were to ask someone from the past, they would probably say we're all pronouncing things "wrong" at this point, lol.
@@ponyxaviors4491 Languages around the world evolved, but here Iโm not talking about it, Then people in Australia, New Zealand and India speak English which is old English but would people see them correcting English of other nations it would obviously be a No, English originally comes from England, I would want to watch a native speaker rather than a country which has taken some other countryโs language and changed it accordingly and by the way Iโm sorry to tell you that no American English is not similar to old British English.
@@minniev5993 It really hurts my feelings that you would refer to my native land, and me speaking my native language, as not being "native." What makes the evolution of British English over time any different than the evolution of American English? Just because the people there are standing on the soil that what you refer to as the "original" English speakers did? I'm also a descendant of Englishmen, how does the shifting of the English language from my ancestors to me differ in any way from the shifting of the same language from that same ancestor to someone who still physically lives in England? Even though neither me nor them speaks quite the same language as our ancestor did? It's the same separation of generation, the evolving of the same language. The only difference between them and me is where we physically live. In fact, some of the people who live in England are originally descended from people who spoke African languages. Does their evolution of English, influenced by the accents of their ancestors, count more than mine simply because they physically live on English soil? If I were to move to England, and live there for the next several years until my accent became influenced by theirs, would I now count as speaking the "original" form of English? Or no, because I wasn't born on English soil? I'm not trying to get into an ugly fight or say anything against your thoughts and feelings, but I want to open up to you about why what you are saying could be (and in fact, was) very hurtful to a lot of native English speakers.
(By the way, I really want to let this go, because it's not relevant to my other points, but there is a lot of evidence that supports that American English has similarities to an older form of English, and just saying it doesn't doesn't magically negate that.) Please be considerate of your personal prejudices before you reply. And I apologize if anything I just wrote was hurtful in any way, I truly don't want to make you feel badly or feel attacked. I value your thoughts and your feelings, but I also want to stand up for my own.
The judge just wanted to hit people tf lol
Fun fact is that many english words are just old french words that have been mispronunced for centuries :D
Why have an American as the person judging when their accents are wrong๐
The English language first came from England/UK.
The Americans made it up on their own
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 ik that but she corrects the guy saying turtle in a British accent and says he has to pronounce that hard R when he is actually saying it correctly but Americans think that their English is the correct English
โ@@renburg8359Well to be fair how is an american girl suppoused to judge a british accent. The video just said english and American english is also english
โโ@@christophermichaelclarence6003 NO, ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS FROM U.S.A ๐บ๐ธ NOW !
@@ElSemih no not her fault i mean why won't the video creators hire a english girl because it seems more normal for Europeans to understand British English than American English yk?
Hi, french guy was cool, and american girl too
Want to see more them ? Tu veux les voir encore ?
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 yes, but what?
I can say them easily as I'm fromthe USA but listen to th m struggle made me forget
Squirrel!
Where is the second part? The revenge! Six french with hammers around the american?? ๐
No squirrels?
I pronounce the "rhino" part as /ษนaino/, not /ษนino/. And I've seen "otorrinolaringologista" in lists of difficult words in other languages too.
otorrinolaringologista is in Portuguese and we just say "otorrino" because it's a very long word
I was hoping for squirrel.
From a Dutch perspective I would say, which accent do you want me to demonstrate?
i dont even think the english girl can speak her own language
She's not English
@@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022 bro are u dumb.. thatโs the name of the language..
She was terrible
@@kayden7548 you said the "English girl".
English is an identity belonging to the natives of England. Learn how structure a sentence in English and use context
@@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022 ?? so if ur from america u donโt speak english? so if ur from australia u donโt speak english? english is the language, american is the accent. in the sentence u can see i said โown languageโ not accent
You can't force others to pronounce it your way, a few said the correct way but with there accent. I'm scottish and our pronunciations are way different but doesn't mean we can't say it and our first language is English. I understand its a little fun but still people pronounce differently.
I think they were supposed to pronounce it with an American accent. Because when the one girl tried saying something in an English accent, the girl with the hammer almost accepted it, then said, "Wait! American!"
bro it's not that deep they're just doing a pronounce that word challenge
@@jw-ws8dz thank you. This is just a silly video (first clue should have been that plastic mallet she's bopping their heads with)
It really frustrates me that some of the French people got the answers right but the host can't even understand English dialects herself apparently.....
