C’est de l’occitan?

Native French speaker. I like to learn new words both in French and English to extend my vocabulary.

Yes you’re right, I bet the French “u” is strange for an anglophone!

The sound I have the most trouble with in English is “th”. When I try it it kind of defaults to a “d”. In France they usually pronounce it like a “z” instead.

I’m told “écureuil” is an infamously hard word for non-natives. It’s funny that one of the hardest words to pronounce in English in my opinion is “squirrel”. At least for a beginner.

To answer your question, I was thinking about words with nasal vowels, which are non-existent in English.

“Enfant”, “informatique”, “un brin brun”

My own first name has a nasal vowel and in my experience talking to native English speakers, it’s seems like a challenge to them.

Great argument.

It’s a French name pronounced the English way?

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn

My name is unpronounceable for most non-native French speakers. I tell them to not even try, as there are sounds in French that don’t exist in English. Instead, I introduce myself by butchering my own name, or by using the English equivalent to my name.
