Theme: The French alphabet
Hello and welcome.
Today, we are reviewing the alphabet in French.
In 10 minutes, not one more.
Shall we begin? Let's go!
The French alphabet
The French alphabet has 26 letters, just like the English alphabet:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.
But be careful: the pronunciation is different.
Listen carefully to each letter, especially those that sound alike, like b and p, d and t, m and n.
Pronunciation of difficult letters
- G: pronounced I
- J: pronounced ji
- Q: pronounces ku
- U: pronounced u, but be careful to round your mouth properly
- H: pronounced ash, but is not pronounced in words (e.g.: man, hotel)
- Y: pronounced Greek
Using the alphabet in life
We use the alphabet for:
- Spelling a first name, a last name
- Provide an email address
- Read or write a plaque, a code or a word
For example :
- M for Marie, D for Daniel
- For the email address: a, b, c, at, gmail, dot com
Practical advice
- Spell your first and last name out loud
- Write each letter in uppercase and lowercase
- Listen to videos with letter dictations
Take your time, and repeat several times.
