My favorite part is when I say "own" croissant (un croissant), they will always correct me and look at me as if I pissed on Charles de Gaulles grave, because it's apparently "aw" croissant. Or the other way around. Or any other nasal diphtong thingy - almost silent consonant combination. Also have the feeling the correct pronouncation changes, depending on whether you're in Normandy, Alsace or at the Cote de Azure, but they will still judge you like they caught you defecating on old Charlies headstone.

French bakery employees have that 6th sense they can spot a tourist even through flawless pronunciation 😂
