OK but when would I pronounce Y as ee or if its by itself I would pronounce it as eegrek?

[@Frencheezi]

"i-grec" is just the name of the letter. It's never pronounced like that within a word.

[@LubaLuba1]

@@Frencheezi really so what is it’s sound in a word and why does Allons - y. Written this way?

[@Jpio59]

@@LubaLuba1 what she's trying to say is that you only pronounce it as "i-grec" when you're either reciting the alphabet or referring to it in some way _ e.g., "the y in the word Ypres is pronounced like ee, as in see", translated as "le i-grec dans le mot Ypres se prononce ee, comme see." But as part of speech, it's never pronounced "i-grec", even when used by itself as a pronoun.

@@LubaLuba1 and also, just as in English, it's pronounced differently depending on the word and where it's placed withing the word and whether it's followed by a vowel or consonnant. But it's usually either like the ee in see or the "y" in yellow. "les yeux", the eyes, is an exception.

​​@@FrencheeziIt is pronounced that way in numerous Duolingo lessons! 🙄 I keep complaining - they keep ignoring me.

We need phonics course for all 35sound if you have video for them please let me know

[@cbahm]

I don’t understand when to pronounce the Y as “e-grek.” Is it only in sentences like this where it’s used as a standalone word instead of just a letter of the alphabet - such as: « Si tu vas à la gare demain matin, tu m'y emmèneras ? »

this teaches me nothing i am a french teacher and this is wrong

[@Frencheezi]

I'm French. In what way do you think it's wrong? I'm open to constructive criticisms / discussion, as even French speakers don't always agree among themselves on certain linguistic topics, but you actually have to say what you don't agree with... To the best of my knowledge, the information given in this video is correct. If you found a mistake, please point it out so everyone can benefit. Thank you.

But are you French?
