What does a French accent sound like?
A French accent, especially when speaking English, has speech rhythms that are fluid and melodic. There’s less emphasis on the end of sentences because the French language leans towards liaisons, where the ending consonant of a word is often carried over to the beginning of the next word if it starts with a vowel. There are also variations in the pronunciation of certain vowels and consonants, like the ‘th’ sounds in English, which are typically replaced with ‘z’ or ‘d’ sounds in a French accent. The ‘r’ sound in French, which is notably different, is described as more guttural and less pronounced than the English ‘r.’ However, these features vary because there are many regional accents within France.
