  1. Hi laaxie, thank you so much for making this video . I have one question about r sound in some example words i cannot hear from you r like mercredi and many more words why? Additionally, sometimes i heared gggghhh asounf and khhhh sound is there any difference?

  2. 11 year’s in Belgium, and had problems with the accent, now, after I watched the video I can tell that it really helped and I can see the progress, thank you very much for this practicing❤

  3. This video was among the more helpful guides. This gave good practice. I especially have trouble getting the pronunciation right depending on the letter combinations like "br", like when trying to pronounce "bruit".

    9:05. I noticed here that the pronunciation of the "r" in this combination sounds a lot more subtle than others. Is that the case when followed up by the "oi" sound? I noticed the "r" also sounded more subtle with "du cidre" and "bruit"
