I really love French words - have been obsessed with them for say, 7-8 years. Though never made any efforts to learn it nor interacted with many French, I can understand many sentences and even read simple books.
I know how the pronunciations work in French - omitting last consonants, conjoining vowels and so many intricacies. The difference lies in knowing the rules and observing them. That's where I get pi-ssed off.
The French are staunch purists about their language and won't accept even a slight change in pronunciation. For a learner, that makes the task even more difficult and my main interest is to include French into my vocabulary which is EASIER minus the pronunciation.
All along I tried to be respectful towards the language by trying to be pure but I guess enough is enough. My objective is only to know the written language.
Now I decided to learn French by pronouncing it the AMERICAN way whether the Government of France like it or not I say F* them the Frenchies
