The basic text or phrase of I Love You in French is Je t’aime. Fortunately, many non-French speakers are familiar with this phrase but, at the same time, find the pronunciation a bit tricky. Well, to make things easier for you, try pronouncing zhuh tem literally as you would while reading it in English… that’s exactly how you pronounce Je t’aime.
Your response to anyone who calls you Je t’aime would be Me too, Je t’aime. Of course, here the pronunciation gets even more complicated. So for that, I suggest you try to pronounce literally mwa oh see zhuh tem – that’s exactly how you’ll pronounce me too, I love you.
Sometimes you may not want to literally say I love you in French with so many words, but rather something along the lines of I adore you in French. That’s why you would say I adore you. This can literally be pronounced as zhuh tah gate.
From there, you may want to continue with Je t’aime or Je t’adore with “my love”. That’s why, when you say it to a woman, you would say my love, literally pronounced as my shay-ree while you say it to a man you would say honey, literally as it is pronounced mo(n) shay-ree. Just remember that in the case of the latter, the n has a nasal touch, as with many words/alphabets in the French language.
The key, as I have always pointed out, is to practice…try to practice with French speakers around you and you will eventually get the pronunciation right. In fact, today, with so many online resources all around us, it’s not even essential to have anyone else around, let alone those who speak the French language or are native to it: listen to the online audio versions of phrases like the ones above and you will know it. have an excellent idea of how to correctly pronounce the phrases I have mentioned above.
This is how I have taught myself a variety of languages from around the world, which I feel is particularly important in today’s globalized world. And without a doubt, you can too. All it takes, in my opinion, is the determination to master your desired language well… and believe me, it’s much easier than you think, no matter how difficult the language in question may seem!
