Summarize the following:
The French word for "one" includes a nasally vowel sound that doesn't exist in English, so it can be difficult to pronounce right. Practice making the sound while holding your nose lightly with your fingers. You also may be able to learn to squeeze your nostrils together slightly as you pronounce the word, similar to the way you would tighten them as you inhaled. The French u sound, as in neuf, is another sound that doesn't exist in English. This sound can be particularly difficult for English speakers trying to learn French. Start by opening your mouth and making an oh sound. Draw out the sound until your lips are flatter, like they would be if you were making a w sound. Purse your lips together and make an eee sound. This approximates the French u. You may have to practice this exercise several times a day for several weeks before it starts coming naturally. Distinguish the French u from the French ou sound. While they are similar, you must be able to tell them apart if you want to pronounce French words correctly. The French ou sound is similar to the same ou sound in English. The French r, found in quatre, is a guttural sound, similar to the ch in "Loch Ness." To approximate this sound, press the tip of your tongue to the back of your bottom teeth as you pronounce the letter. You can practice just by saying "rah rah rah," or try the French word ronronner, which means "to purr." Some number words, such as "six," are spelled the same in French as they are in English. If English is your first language, it can be difficult not to read these words with the English pronunciation. This is especially important with words such as zero and six that look like English words, but it is also important with others that are pronounced radically different in French. For example, if you saw the word deux, you might sound it out from the letters as "ducks." To practice, make yourself flash cards with only the numeral on it, not the French word spelled out. Watching movies or videos by native French speakers can help you become more familiar with the way the language sounds. You don't even have to watch the visuals you can just close your eyes and listen. Listening to French music can help as well, particularly slower songs so you can hear the syllables distinctly. Don't worry if you don't understand the words at this point. You're just listening to the pronunciation, not trying to understand what's being said.

summary: Pinch your nose to get the correct sound for un. Practice mouth exercises to pronounce the French u correctly. Pronounce the French r in your throat. Memorize the pronunciation without looking at the words. Watch French videos online.

Summarize the following:
Space is not effective unless some reflection is done during the process. Think of what you may have done to prompt her need for space and assess whether or not you can prevent doing so in the future. If the space was not prompted by you, think about her life at the moment and what she might be needing. The space could have little or nothing to do with you, so don't take it too personally. Once she has a bit more free time or she is reaching out to you on a more consistent basis, check in with her and see if she is still looking for space from you. If not, spend some time together. And if she does need more time, give her that for as long as you can. You might say something like "I wanted to see if you still needed some space from the relationship. It's okay if you do, but I wanted to check in before I started contacting you more frequently." Ask her if she had any moments of clarity during this time of space, if she enjoyed it, and if she would like to make it more permanent. Tell her what you learned as well and reaffirm your commitment to the relationship if you still feel that way. Talk about ways to avoid needing space in the future or ways to provide more alone time. For instance, perhaps you had been going out with her and her friends when they would have dinner or go to the movies. See if she would like that time with them alone, instead. After the two of you have taken a bit of space from one another, you might both find that you enjoy your time apart more than you do your time together. Though this can be a sad realization, know that it is time to move forward separately. Let go of the relationship and wish her the best.
summary: Reflect on the relationship. Reconnect more consistently when the time is right. Find a way to be happy mutually. Let the relationship go if need be.
