French pronunciation can be tricky… but mastering it can be a lot of fun! In this video, we’ll tackle 10 of the most challenging French tongue twisters that often make learners stumble — from mouillé to écureuil and heureusement.

With the help of pronunciation breakdowns and listen-and-repeat exercises, you’ll learn how to master tricky sounds like the famous “ouill” and the nasal vowels. I’ll also share some tips on how to position your mouth, and go over traps that most English speakers fall into (and how to avoid them).

This fun tongue twister challenge will help you boost your spoken French skills — and hopefully make you smile along the way! Ready to test your French tongue? C’est parti !

At Comme une Française, we specialize in everyday spoken French. We focus on three unique aspects that are different from school French, self-study books, Duolingo, etc:
1. We focus only on the specifics of speaking/understanding/being understood in everyday French and have unique ways to help you learn it properly & faster.
2. We focus on shortcuts to help you make progress faster, which also means we tell you exactly what you can stop learning to prioritize what’s really important.
3. We use French culture as the subject to make it fun and interesting for adults.

Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
