Alphabet in Franch language

A, similar to the vowel in “cat”. B, pronounced like “bay” without the y sound. C, pronounced like “say” without the y sound. D, pronounced like “day” without the y sound. E, similar to the English word “a”, or that “euh” or “er” sound you make when trying to think of what to say. If you want to sound more French, round your lips and move your tongue a little bit more forward. F, pronounced exactly like the English letter F G, pronounced like the last syllable in “negligée” or “protegé” (both loanwords from French, as a matter of fact!). H, similar to ash. I, sounds like the “ee” in “bee”. J, sounds like the “gi” in “regime” (also a French loanword). K, similar to the “ca” in the word “cat”. L, sounds just like the English letter L. M, sounds like the English letter M. N, exactly like the English N. O, much like the English O, but round your lips more. P, pronounced like “pay” without the y sound. Q, a K sound followed by the French vowel u (see the letter U for more information). R, ah yes, the infamous French r! It’s pronounced a lot like the word “air” but with the French r sound at the end. If you struggle with this sound, the best piece of advice I can give you in just a line or two is to practise hawking. You know the disgusting sound someone makes when clearing phlegm from their throat? Try doing that! Practise a little every day, and eventually you’ll get to a French r. S, sounds just like the English S. T, like “tay” but without the y sound. U, this one is tricky. Start by saying “ee” as in “bee”. Then round your lips as if to say an “ooh” sound, without moving your tongue. That’s the French letter U. V, sounds like the final syllable in “convey”, but without the y sound. W, literally double V. In French, it sounds like doo-bluh vay. X, like “weeks” without the w. Y, in French (and most other Romance languages) is called “Greek i”. It’s pronounced “ee-grec” in French. Don’t forget to pronounce grec with the French r sound! Z, exactly like the English letter Z – if you’re not American, that is! Sorry, my American readers, this letter is pronounced zed, not zee, in French.
