I actually find that the omissions make it easier than Spanish for me. I can read and write Spanish, but when I hear it, it often sounds like mumbo-jumbo, but I can understand French when I hear it much better! I am from the West Indies, and we pronounce our “R” more British-like, so the French “R” is not so hard for me, I am sure it’s very hard for Americans, because you roll you “R’s” sooooo much, you really over-emphasize your “R’s”!!! Only the Spaniards do it more!!
I am taking French now in college, and it’s a million times harder than Spanish because of all the sound omissions. The ‘r’ isn’t easy for me either without spitting up my lunch.
it’s so funny! but it’s true…
I’m french; and I know it’s difficult to say the R! but we use it in every sentences… I think it’s like when I try to say the “th” in english! I don’t know how to tell it cause I don’t use it in french… but it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to say it…they can understand! but it’s a good explanation anyway ^^ RRRRRR
