Arrivez-vous à prononcer cette phrase ? 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 😳 Vous n'aurez probablement jamais à prononcer cette phrase pour de vrai, mais si vous parlez anglais, vous serez obligé de prononcer le son 𝗛. Et il faut le dire là où il doit l'être, et non pas devant n'importe quel mot commençant par une voyelle. Ce n'est pas simple. Il faut d'abord l'entendre (voir ma dernière vidéo) et ensuite s'entraîner à le prononcer clairement... au bon endroit 😊 Je vous donne quelques conseils pratiques dans cette vidéo 👇 ___________________________ Si vous souhaitez travailler votre #prononciation anglaise en 2025, je propose du #coaching en prononciation et en prise de parole en public : prenez rendez-vous pour une consultation afin de discuter de vos besoins en cliquant sur le lien dans ma bio.

But it’s equally important not to inadvertently insert h-sounds where they don’t belong! A student of mine, a Frenchman working in a Danish company producing dairy equipment told me one day that he was working on a machine that could blow “hair” into yoghurt 🤮

✓Il y a longtemps à Gotham🦇City, (Grand Central Terminal)🚆, je faisais la queue pour me renseigner au guichet de la compagnie des bus 🚌. Je voulais aller dans le Connecticut. Je demande à l'employé : "I'd like to buy a round trip ticket for 'New Aven'" L'employé me regarde bizarrement, et il ne dit rien. J'ai l'impression que c'est une ville qui n'existe pas 🤔? Je cède la place aux gens derrière moi. Puis je regarde ma carte du Nord-est des États-Unis🔺🗺️. Oui elle est là dans le Connecticut, à environ 70 miles de New York 🍎🍏🧐 Alors je fais la queue une deuxième fois et j'arrive au guichet. Je demande au même employé: "I'd like to buy a round trip ticket for 'Old Aven'" Même réaction assez méfiante de l'employé. Je répète ma phrase une deuxième fois, mais rien n'y fait. Je cède de nouveau ma place aux gens qui attendent derrière moi. Et puis, un homme assez âgé assis dans la salle d'attente vient me voir et dit: "Where would you like to go?" Et je réponds: "I'd like to go to New Aven or Old Aven, either way is fine" Là il me regarde un instant et me dit: "OK tell me first, what would you like to do?" Et je réponds : "I'd like to go and visit Yale🏫University" Alors il me dit : "OK then, you go to New #Haven. Tell them." 🙄
Last week I had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was flying back from Amsterdam to Nice after the Toastmasters international conference. Everything was as usual, until the pilot announced, “We’re going back to Amsterdam.” Everyone in the plane groaned. But then he added, “There’s an electrical fault which has affected the brakes and we don’t know if the back up braking system has been affected or not. We need to go back to Amsterdam to land on the longest runway possible. The crew will now prepare you for an emergency landing in 30 minutes.” The worst thing was that I could hear in the pilot’s voice that he was stressed. I looked at the crew’s faces and although they were calm, their faces showed that they were scared. The next 30 minutes were spent practising the brace position, removing all jewellery, glasses, tightening our seatbelts, learning how to open the emergency doors. We were told to study the safety card, which everyone did more intently than ever before! And like most of the other people on the plane, I was quietly worrying that we’d crash at the end of the runway and perhaps this was how I was going to die. We landed in brace position, with the crew shouting “brace for landing”. Luckily the emergency brakes worked 😅 If you’re expecting me to tell you that I have now changed my life for the better and I’m giving everything up to become a life coach… …I’m not 😆 I did say to myself, “Only trains from now on”, but I still had to get home and that involved two flights the next day. What I did realise was sometimes you have to give up control and put yourself in the hands of people who are trained for this. Also that after we landed, all the passengers were talking to each other, everyone was friendly and helpful. And when I saw some of my fellow passengers the next day, it’s like we were friends, bonded by this experience. And that made me think, why can’t we always create these human connections, even when we’re not in such an emotionally charged situation? So that is my resolution from this experience: make more human connections with everyone around me. (Photo taken from my flight home the next day: I’ve never been so happy to see the Îles Lerins 😁)
