Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing the 'r'
The French 'r' is in the back of your throat, not on your tongue like in English.
Forgetting gender agreement
If you are female, you must add an 'e' to the end of 'fier' to make it 'fière'.
A small cultural note
While expressing pride is common, the French can sometimes be more reserved about overt displays of self-congratulation compared to some other cultures.
