I get it that our language sounds pretty gay
But why is it that when foreigners try to speak it, they sound even gayer? Are they overestimating the gayness of our language?
>>
GAYNESS
i like French, it sounds just sexy not gay.

Trying to enunciate a foreign language properly always leads to exaggerated accents my friend.

French people sound gay speaking English because they hit the consonants too weakly and their vowels are off.
Just like whenever anyone tries to speak a different language. We sound like poofters in some and manly in others.
>>
I'm trying to learn your faggy language, any tips on not sounding gay?

The only French I know is "Mort gauchistes"

Thanks /pol/

When a woman speaks French, that make herself sound like erotic .
But when a man speak French, so gay.

/pol/ isn't known for their intelligence.
>>
>>53735011
The same with Japs, pêh, pal
>>
>>53735139
It's "mort aux gauchistes" (death to the leftists)
Otherwise what you wrote is "death leftists"
>>
>>53734868
Just kidding dude, don't take it seriously.
But any tips? I'm really struggling.
>>
Do Maghrebis sound less gay than white Frenchmen?
>>
French sounds sexy in addition to gay.

Like English, but with a mouth full of yogurt.
>>
>>53730829
Because you're forced to speak it properly. When you speak any language too properly, you end up sounding like a pretentious flamboyant faggot
>>

You're just insecure bro, cmre lemme suck you are cock.

Japanese women tend to learn your language, but I've never seen a Japanese guy learn French at least around me. T.b.h, Our women still be obsessed in British and French stuff even through both is a new Islamic country.

English speakers don't sound gay when trying to speak French, but they do sound legit retarded though
>>
>>53734086
Don't over-pronunce the 'r' sound, common mistake for anglos
>>
>>53735675
I'd say don't overpronounce consonants in general.
>>
>>53734859
Should be either "meurt gauchiste" (die leftist)
or mort aux gauchistes (death to leftists)
>>
>>53735675
How do you pronounce "vert'? Isn't it just ver?
>>
>>53736147
yeah the t is silent
>>
>>53735512
>rap
Sound like shit, as usual with "rap"
>>
>>53736147
Like you'd pronounce verre, ver, vers and vair
>>
>>53730829

I tried learning French, but it all sounds like one mumbled sentence to me. I gave up and picked up some German instead.

tbf english sounds more gay than french

I'm having trouble with that. If you gave me a written passage I could probably decipher 7 of every 10 words, but if I had to listen to it I'd probably get 3/10

>>
>>53736419
That's my problem too. I can read it okay but it's so hard for me to understand the speaking.
>>
>>53736419


Romance languages confuse me overall because they structure their sentences backwards compared to Germanic ones. So I'd always screw up the order of the words because I instinctively would structure the sentences how I would in English.

Ce serait pas "quiero comer a une manzana" ? J'me rappelle plus exactement mais je me faisais toujours avoir avec ce "a" de partout en espagnol

French makes our arabic dialect gayer but much better and less aggressive :

It is still doesn't fall under that family of languages though.

We should just go back to Middle English.
>>
>>53737032

wrong language, francois

>>53737032
Tu met le "a" quand tu te réfère à une personne.

That's why we have more Fields medals per capita than pretty much anyone else.
>>
>>53737016
Foreigners are the only one seeing it as illogical

Since it's our native language when saying like "84" we don't think of "Quatre-vingt-quatre" like "four + twenty + four", we just know it means 84
>>
>>53737002
I never had problems with English or Italian syntax
Maybe because Hungarian word order is so different that it's literally impossible to confuse it with those two

Yeah, I have this problem, too. I can read French pretty well, but it sounds all the same to me. Dunno why considering I don't have these problems with other languages I'm learning.
>>
The only French that I know is, "sacre bleu."
>>
>>53737147
What I like is that from 1 to 13, they're all only 1 syllable numbers in french, 100 and 1000 are also just one syllable.
Then you see english speaking can't even talk about thousands and have to shorten it down to "twenty-sixteen" or else it's too long to pronounce

>>53730829
People apply stereotypes they associate to certain nationality to their language, and the other way around, thus finding a shallow justification to their stereotype.

For instance, German is harsh and authoritarian because the German people are cold and harsh; Germans are this way because of their language.

So you are gay because your language is gay?

Nothing about the Swedish language sounds homosexual to me, but I still think that they're a bunch of SJW faggots. Your theory doesn't really seem to hold up to me.
>>
>>53737371
Too late
Now if want to sound modern you need to use "Palsambleu"

"sacre bleu" still works just fine for communicative purposes in my local community of non-french speakers

Doesn't sound really gay...
Maybecoz I'm a Frenchfag, so I can't really know... :DDD
>>
>>53737698
And my language is gay because I appear gay to you. IThat's a common stereotype about French people, it ranges from very effeminate to plain gay.

>>53737703
Swedish stereotypes are not as common as those regarding the French. You've probably heard lots of things about the French since you'r a kid, but not as much about the Swedes, and the fact that you consider them a bunch of SJW probably comes only from what you've seen on /int/.

Someone like a Finn, with much more exposure to Swedish and the Swedes, would have specific stereotypes about them.
>>
>>53730829
French is fine so long as the accent isn't too strong.

Spanish sounds more homosexual than French since they have a lisp
>>
>>53738034
Over here, our stereotypes about French people are generally about you're not showering/bathing, not shaving, being pessimistic about life, always going on strikes and being cowards.

But we also see you as great cooks and as swingers, who always have several love affairs.

And yeah it's real let's take the number 95 for instance, it's written "quatre-vingt-quinze" which is literaly "four-twenty-fifteen" (4 x 20 + 15)

Question for non-francophones: how does Quebec French sound to your ears, especially compared to standard French?

Do you hear a clear difference or does it all sound the same to you?

In case you've never heard Quebec French, here's some random samples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF_hcxGAgHM (formal speech)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0horEXBfrA0 (semi formal, semi colloquial)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1jcAchNB0o (colloquial)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhbrR4-Z5fw (extremely colloquial, downright redneck)
>>
>>53740404
>>53740551
Yep. French is officially a fucked language. Might as well just went with a hexadecimal system.
>>
>>53730829
I dont know man ...

You gotta chose between french or Germán so the desicion isnt easy, they both sound weird as fuck but i like french a little better.

Words we haven't used for 300 years, different prononciation and weird accentuations, a lot of English words
>>
>>53738512
>being cowards

Reeeee
>>
>>53730829
because people start to try to copy its accents at first.
