๐ฅ French Accent Test: How Good Is Your French Accent?
French speakers often find English 'th' and 'h' tricky, and stress the end of words and phrases. The R is made in the back of the throat.

How to do a French accent
- Turn 'th' into 'z' or 's': 'zis', 'zat', 'sink' for think.
- Drop the H at the start of words: ''onestly', ''appy'.
- Stress the last syllable of words and phrases: 'disappoin-TED', 'croiss-ANT'.
- Make R a soft gargle at the back of the throat, and keep vowels pure.
The most common mistake
Stressing English words the English way; moving stress to the end makes it French.
