Flashback to this French influencer’s oddly compelling attempt to practise English pronunciation
Over on TikTok, a popular French account named tatatopsecret has amassed over a million followers, largely by sharing clips of herself playing games – often with an English language learning element.
In a video she shared in 2024, she showed her frustration at not quite getting the pronunciation right on a couple of words. That, along with her reaction to cracking it, sent the TikTok viral.
Check it out.

We prefer how she says “burger”. Might start going for it at the drive-through. Here are a few things TikTok users posted in her comments section.
brb changing our name to ohwayoh.
Oreo
I’ve taken 2 years of French and didn’t understand a word she said.

The burger one reminds me of the Pink Panther.

It soon landed on Twitter/X, where there was even more love for tatatopsecret.

The internet needs to build main arteries of wholesome shit like this. Nothing trying to sell something, nothing overly produced, just simple relatable human stuff. https://t.co/MfP8D7YcrP

Her “hot dog” is very impressive given you do not pronounce H in French https://t.co/EZcGeGzw1H

Someone named @royal_bobby24 really empathised.
Me trying to say Spanish words to @duolingo. How many different ways do I have to say "Juan" for it to say it's correct.
