Americans using french expressions

Lol what about americans using latin expressions and thinking it's actually english?

even worse

What about Americans not giving a fuck what you niggers think.

Scary..

Only the English have this problem. I've literally never heard anyone call a living room a "lounge" top kek

The only problem in America/Canada is regional differences, like people calling pop "soda"

>american user
>"you niggers"
lol nice meme

You uncultured shit

What if you're fluent but just don't do the nasal thing, like Jean Seberg:

What's the point of being cultured if it turns you into a cock smoker?

It's a little disorienting to hear this.

I just wanted you guys to know I read the entirety of Les Miserables thinking Jean Valjean was pronounced like the pants, not John.

Frenchs talking makes my heart go full hnggg

i hate this

very much so

> jenny say qua

>french people
>never make an attempt to pronounce any other language in anything but french

disgusting

>be american
>take 3 years of french in highschool because electives
>speak french but with the blunt american accent
>old female french teacher tells me I have the most beautiful american-french accent.
>go to france
>women love my accent
>mfw I fuck a french girl and she had a bf
>mfw I am the bull
>mfw OP is just salty that some american probably came and fucked his bitch

How can someone be salty when you fucked a dumb slut? Get real

Literally every language does this. You're a pretentious faggot if you don't

>calling soda "pop"
FTFY

>be me
>say something to girl in bar in Paris
>"WOW you have an accent"
>laughs
>no sex, but we made out
Mine isn't even attractive apparently, just kinda funny. What is your American accent like though?

>be me
Oh good, I was worrying that you were someone else.

>company sends me to Quebec for reasons
>"oh so this is what rednecks would sound like if they were French"

>Sartre is Sar-trey

Okay, I can live with soda. But please tell me that southerners don't actually call all pop "coke." I've never met a real live southerner to confirm this.

>lay-trun-zheyyyy

>tu ne me pourraient
Filthy anglos with their dumbed-down language cannot into conjugaisons.

never heard of it in my area, I know a guy from missouri who says they do it there though

t. southerner

All soda is coke. "Pop" is just disgusting. Coke was invented in Atlanta.

>Needchy

The pants? You mean Longjohns Vallongjohns?

Everyone in every language, who uses words and phrases adopted from other languages, is always an insufferable prick.

There's just a je nah say quoi that's just affreux when people parley in a foreign tongue

It is neuht phronounced like John, espèce d'espace, it is phronounced like Jean, nahssing more, nahssing less. I ayt eww filsy amehricains wizz your mondial domination. Your mohzzehrs ahve dirty uteruses and you are the unwished products of ass unions and ozzehr farm aeuhnimals.

>Tfw you're from a part of the UK with a completely neutral/fluid accent that allows you to perfect foreign pronunciations with ease

That's what you did isn't it?

>neutral accent
No such thing, m8. Of course it sounds neutral--to you.

you made the baby angry

>i-i fucked a random girl somewhere in a random part of the world u mad bro???? u jelly???

no (yes)

record yourself saying "Camus"

It's objectively neutral.

No such thing.

>Being this pleb

I wonder why americans are taught to pronounce words like the following in such a stupid manner:

Per se - Per say
José - Josay
Passé - Passay

>Per se - Per say
>Passé - Passay

These are right though.

coke is a specific brand u fucking knuckledragger

No.

No, Coca-Cola is.

Yes.

...

Mate, look it up. Latin is never pronounced like that. Also ask a frenchman for words like passé, don't be obtuse.

...

...

>John

lel sure. and jacques is pronounced jack, right?

well that just how uncultured they can be.
but the language just shows that they are uncultured per se.

>be in france
>studying french with people from all over the world
>everyone is speaking in french, no matter how broken (we are all trying to learn, right?)
>american beetch speaks in english to everyone outside the classroom
>mfw

I am an American and I usually try to pronounce something correctly and if I get it wrong I look it up or get one of my [that language] friends to help me.

Apparently I usually do okay though and either get it right or get it close. I like different languages but I am too lazy to learn another one. Plus, I am too undecided on which one I would like to learn.

>Tfw you make your language too accent/dialect-dependant (due to the retarded Académie française wanting everyone to speak like the aristocrats they all killed during the Revolution), allowing English to overtake it as the lingua franca

Suck it up, Pierre.

more:

>gather in central square to do something
>we decide to eat something first
>bitch wants to go to mcdonalds

>be in house party
>everyones just chillin
>suddenly american fag gathers attention and makes everyone play 'beer pong'
>hes proud of it

at least he explained it in french tho.

>implying we want our language to be a 'lingua franca'.
>implying we want to actually unify and not just illustrate unification so faggots waste their time trying something that is actually humanly impossible.

keep tryin'. please.

They are not "taught". They lack the phoneme that is represented by the letter e in your language and so they approximate. It's normal.

>Implying you talk for all France.

It's a comvention of the form. Lurk moar or return to reddit

I honestly think Americans are the most stupid people on earth

Coca-Cola is a brand of soft drink
Coke is white powder you rub on your gums or snort
Pop is something you do with your booty while on coke

that mite be true, but at least they are people.

Was this about 2013? If so,that may have been me. A lot of people had fun, don't be a spoilsport.

>not enjoying beer pong
How pretentious can you be?

When the French language is unpoliced, what you end up with is Quebecois (which is clipped as fuck) and other mutually unintelligible dialects.

Get out of my country

It does sound pretentious as fuck though. I speak Russian and German and I anglicise my pronunciation of Russian and German words when I'm speaking English. It seems it's mostly French speakers who think it's okay to keep pronouncing things in the native way when they're speaking English.

>dawn quick sote
I wish I never learned Spanish. I get looks whenever I pronounce it correctly.

>those electrical sockets
>America
Nice try bro

What the fuck is wrong with you turbo autists literally every language changes foreign sounds to be more native sounding because it rolls off the tongue easier. For instance I'm Cuban and when speaking English I don't pronounce every Spanish word with my accent and I don't call Havana Habana you goddamn mongrels I know when French people speak French they don't pronounce English words with a perfect English accent. Fuck I hate the French

>tfw frenchies also include some english words in their everyday talk
>tfw that huge irony and smoothly disguised disdain
>tfw americans think they are being praised

Who would have thought that a native French speaker would speak French words with a French accent. What is the world coming to?

>dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/per-se
Those are just the Anglicisation of pronouciation of foreign words. It's still not an English sentence. We might as well say that calling Jesus just that is correct when that is obviously not a name he would have recognised.

>I don't pronounce every Spanish word with my accent and I don't call Havana Habana

Then, you're not a real Cuban. You're a third or fourth generation loser.

>calling Jesus just that
calling Jesus just that
hypocrite

My professor read Goethe as Gerta instead of Go-eth. I was like "Who the fuck is Gerta?" and it took me several days to figure out what was going on.

It wasn't until several years later when I started studying some German that I understood it.

>gerta
So he didn't anglicize the pronunciation and still butchered it?
Wew lad
