@bdavictoria.bsky.social when a French speaker don’t prononce a name correctly in English, it’s only because we have difficulties to integrate intonation and stress in our English. Thank you… now I will be more precautious on where to put the stress on Jagmeet name.

While in English, stress can fall on any syllable, and is often used to emphasize content words and create rhythm.
Stressed syllables in French are not significantly longer or louder than unstressed syllables, but are slightly emphasized.

2/4 French, stress almost always falls on the final syllable of a phrase or word, while in English, stress can fall on any syllable, and is often used to emphasize content words and create rhythm. French has a more even and predictable rhythm, with a flat intonation across words.

1/4 I agree that saying correctly the name of a person is really important. But native english speaker when listening to a native French speaker has to take into account some particularities of French way to speak.
