I love his pronounciation. Usually its American's botching up the accent (though I don't blame them, Irish spelling is weird but anyone with a passing knowledge of Irish knows the anglicised sounds is not the original sounds) but he has a very strong French accent so I was curious how he would pronounce it. The correct inflections are all there which is all I expect. As someone who the only thing I was good at in school was doing a French accent (not speaking French tho) and combining that with the Irish I was being taught I can recgonise where the mouth was making its natural French sounds but it was still pronoucing the word right. The best way I can describe is that Irish, if you're trying to force the language it can sound choppy and sharp. Kind of like your coughing the words out on the sharp consonents, but as a native speaker it sounds fluid. French speakers whether fluent or not always sounds fluid. It's very interesting to hear.
