Bienvenue à un autre édition de Vendredi Français. I haven’t posted anything for the last two weeks so this evening, I’ll be talking about the alphabet. 😄
When I first started to learn French, the alphabet was tricky for me. I kept forgetting that the ‘G’ is actually pronounced as we would a ‘J’ in English and the ‘J’ as we would a ‘G’ in English. We coo for ‘Q’. Haha! You’ll see what I mean in a bit.
This is the pronunciation guide that I use:
A – aah
B – beh
C – say
D – day
E – euh
F – eff
G – jay (Yes, as in an English J!)
H – ash
I – ee
J – jee (Just say G!)
K – kah
L – el
M – em
N – en
O – oh
P – pay
Q – coo (See what I mean when I say that we coo Q! 😄)
R – err
S – es
T – tay
U – oo
V – vay
W – dooble vay (My absolute favorite to say!)
X – eex
Y – ee-grayk
Z – zed
This video also helped me a lot when I started to learn the alphabet:
I can say my French alphabet pretty well now. 👍
On another note, I watched Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves – The Lost Scimitar Of Arabia in Spanish for no apparent reason. I thought the prince was alright to look at:
But eh, he ain’t no Aladdin, darling! I won’t be writing a review, but the movie was pretty decent.
