Chapter 1: Pronunciation and the French Alphabet

It’s quite normal to get intimidated hearing French people talk. But you don’t need to feel like that for long.

People who can play any musical instrument or carry a tune will find it easy to copy the stress and intonation of the language. But even if you’re not born with a good ear, there’s no need to worry. Simply follow these tips:

Lose your inhibitions. Imitate not just the sound but also the body language and facial expressions of native French speakers. There’s no such thing as exaggeration when putting on your best French accent.

Use your nose wisely. Unlike English, the French language has nasal vowels, which are created by expelling air through the nose.

Start small. Learn how to pronounce individual letters before moving on to more complicated words.

Be patient. It takes time to learn any language. Practice regularly and devote sufficient time to improve your accent.

Individual Sounds

The same alphabet is used in the French and English languages. However, the way letters are pronounced, particularly vowels, is rather different.

Vowels

With each one having several different sounds, French vowels are a bit complicated. Knowing the rules and how accent marks work will help you decide how a specific vowel is pronounced.

Note:

Y is treated as a vowel in the French language. H may or may not be a vowel.

The sound of u doesn’t exist in English and is unique to the French language. To pronounce it, round your lips and try saying the sound oo while saying ee.

Consonants

When consonants occur at the end of a French word, they are generally not pronounced. Think of the word careful when you encounter a word ending in a consonant. If the final letter isn’t c, r, f, or l, you usually don’t pronounce it. You may be tempted to pronounce the final s.  Never fall for it.

Note:

X at the end of a word is silent with the exception of these two words:

Careful with careful because there’s always an exception to a rule.

-er at the end of a word is pronounced as ay.

Below are words ending in c, r, f, and l but their final consonant shouldn’t be pronounced.

Pronounce the ending consonant of the words listed below.

Pronounce the final consonant of foreign words that are incorporated in the French language. A few examples are internet, sandwich, tennis, and parking.

Combined Letters

Combining vowels and consonants create new sounds which may be quite unlike how they sound on their own. There are several combinations possible: a two- or three-vowel sequence, a consonant and vowel, or two consonants.

Note:

A vowel sound is always produced even when a consonant is combined with a vowel.

There’s no th sound in French.

The Letter R

The French r is infamous. Pronouncing it isn’t that easy. Unlike in English, it requires your throat to
