i'm now looking at my list of least favorite french words to pronounce and going "too many r's" for about 40% of them and "skill issue" for most of the rest. some of these are actually very fun to pronounce i just couldn't wrap my tongue around them a year or so ago, but now i can i guess??? so that's very exciting. makes me hope that someday i'll be able to pronounce the rest of them. this is a bit pie in the sky because i really don't see myself ever getting there with procureur du roi but you never know. and luckily the french abolished the monarchy so it's not like i'll ever have to use that phrase in modern conversation.
anyway here are the words i actually love pronouncing now:
décaféiné
diététicien
filleul
pneumonie
i now feel normal/neutral about these words that used to be hard for me:
automne, condamner
douloureux
électricité, énergie
inférieur, supérieur, etc.
itinéraire
lourdeur
salmonellose
sclérose
subodorer
succincte
words that are definitely within the realm of my current capability but i haven't practiced them enough:
bugle
hiérarchisation
méditerranéen
phtisie
words that are still the bane of my existence but i live in hope:
[yʁ] plus at least one other r or [y] sound: chirurgie, fourrure, marbrure, moirure, nourriture, ordures, peinturlurer, procureur du roi, prurit, purpurin, sculpture, serrurerie, structure, sulfureux, tournure
all words beginning with ur-, hur-, or sur-
other difficult sequence of r's and vowels: construire and other -truire verbs; lueur and sueur; utérus
too many r's: marbre, martre, meurtre, opprobre, proroger, réfrigérateur, rétrograde, rorqual
difficult sequence of vowels and/or semivowels: coopérant, extraordinaire, hémorroïdal, kyrie eleison, météorologique, micro-ordinateur, micro-organisme, mouillure, quatuor, vanillier
not pronounced the way i would expect from the spelling: indemne, penta-, punk
just hard for some reason: humour

i also got a bedroom door that doesn't lock, it really sucks so i'm sorry you're dealing with it too. when i feel particularly uneasy, i usually just put something kind of heavy in front of it which i think is technically unsafe but it feels a bit better.
i dragged furniture infront of it yeah. im going to sleep soonish hopefully

The masculine urge to be strong, consistent and vigorous (physically, mentally, emotionally) and provide (financially, basic needs, shelter, love) as an adult, who grew up in a wrecked and abusive home which then slashed gnarly tears in my spirit (and the life-long desire to have these gaps softened by real love)

Hello 👋 🤗,
I hope you are well 🌺.
I am writing to you with a heart full of hope and faith, asking for your urgent help. My family is in great danger due to the war, and I am running a fundraising campaign to save them.
Please, could you reblog the post about my campaign on my account? Every share can make a difference in my family's life. 🙏
Note:My old Tumblr account was deactivated💔, and I need your support again♥️.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can provide. 🌹🌺
