A Start To The French Language French Alphabet and Pronunciation
Some of the individual letters can have accents, which change the way
they are pronounced. Following are the different versions: â, ç,
é, è, ê, î, ï. These are not different
or additional letters, they are merely letters with accents. The letter H is not pronounced, or to be more accurate, is pronounced
very lightly. The pronunciation of letters is also affected by their position. If the
last letter of a word is a consonant it is not pronounced unless: The first letter of the next work is a vowel, or The consonant is a C, F, L, or R. These four consonants are pronounced
even if they are at the end of a word. The way to remember this is to
remember the word "careful", which has the same four consonants.
The French phrase for "How is that spelled?" is "Comment
ça s'écrit?" For words with more than one syllable, the stress is always on the last syllable. If you can practice this, your French will be much better understood. Common Word and Phrases We have compiled below some common word and phrases, along with how you actually say them in French.
