I have no clue what you said, but you sound just like Peggy Hill.
How did you get transcripts of me during my high school exchange term?
Something about French words makes you really want to say them with the most forced and shitty accent imaginable.

Mercy bo core.
Bone apple teeth!
Bo Core: the music and fashion style of Bo Burnham.
Look in the mirror say, “What’s up you useless fuck?”
At first I didn’t catch the reference and thought it was a totally uncalled for attack on me 😂
Haha, I love Bo Burnham. Bo Core would be about how shit you feel and how shit everything is.
Me too and yeah, that IS a not insignificant part of his oeuvre 😄
Canadian French CBC radio had a broadcast station called eSpace… pronounced “ass pass”
It’s a pun. “Space” in French is “espace” - it’s more of a schwa+s than “a+s” so “eSpace” is the everyday French word espace but with a capital S to make a visual pun on e- prefix for electronic.
it’d be like calling an online property maintenance service eState (estate like property + electronic state for maintenance)
Wow I’m really impressed with the equivalent example you came up with, it explains it perfectly.
as opposed to what, croy sand?
Cross-saint.
You pronounce the r tho. It’s crwa- son.
Not son, ssant like in sand
Yeah, that’s more like it. My bad. I haven’t spoken french in a while and a soft “son” ( the french word for his) is what I heard when quickly pronouncing it under my breath so people around me in the bus don’t think I am some kind of crazy. Anyway, saying it out loud it’s indeed closer to the french word cent.
It’s the same “an” as in “cent” because “an” and “en” are homophones (while French has way too many ways to write the same sound, unlike English it has the decency of being almost completely deterministic in its pronunciation).
But don’t feel bad, these sounds aren’t even close to being natural for English speakers because you never use your throat in that way and have no close equivalent (sand is still quite far, I’d say closer to “è” than “an” lol).
Merci de votre aide, mais je parle très bien le français. Enfin, je crois… Je ne suis pas français, cependant j’ai passé toute mon enfance à regarder la télévision française. Je consomme très peu de média français aujourd’hui mais néanmoins je n’ai aucune difficulté à écouter ou à parler la langue. Bon, a vrai dire, il est vrai que parfois je ne trouve pas mes mots et que j’ai eu plus d’une fois le sentiment d’avoir le mot sous le bout de la langue, mais bref.
Je sais que cela ne vous intéresse probablement pas, mais arriver à faire croire à au moins trois personnes que je parle l’anglais nativement a été un de mes buts premiers avant de passer à une autre langue à apprendre et vous êtes l’heureux élu. Je peux maintenant passer a l’espagnol. Encore merci !
