Dear Daylane. Many thanks for your support. That was a fundamental part of the speech, how to pronounce a letter. I started learning French last year. I am originally from Brazil and some letters sound similar even some words. I can often recognize the meaning. I'm so grateful to find you on KZbin. A bientôt😁

We have so many cognates between our languages! I am sure you will learn French in no time. This year is your year to learn French :)

I always forget what the aigu and grave are. I usually call them 'up the mountain' and 'down the hill'. Merci beaucoup for putting this course together. It really is helpful, even as a refresher!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

That's a great way to remember it Stephanie, but how do you know which one makes this sound or that one?

[@Stephanie-gv8rh]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane I remember aigu (up the hill) as the sound is more closed (like going out of breath) ’ where as accent grave (down the hill) sounded like it was relaxed ‘ (when first wrote this comment I had it the other way around lol)

Dylane- This capsule/video was really an excellent one. Tres bien. Now I know how it is pronounced. I struggled with this for last 3 months. Waiting for day 3 video. Thanks a lot/merci beaucoup! :-) One correction though Dylane - the slant goes towards the right on alphabet 'E' and not towards left as said.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Not a problem at all 🙂 And yes for us is towards the left, we write it from top to bottom, so from right to left 😉

[@zaidkhalid5263]

excellent tutorial

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Thank you!

[@gatebell1]

I'm really enjoying this course I've wanted to learn french for a long time. I do have a question which I'll try to ask but typing something isn't the same as verbally asking a question so here goes. When I hear certain word combinations for example un etudiant it sounds (to me) like un nae etudiant. Almost like an n sound before the noun. Thank you again for teaching this course and I purchased the book that goes along with the pronunciation course it is really helpful.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Yes it's called a liaison :) If you keep watching the course, it's going to be in a few videos after this one :)

[@annieb8378]

Hi! I actually think that the é sound is closer to ‘ey’ than it is to ‘ay’. It’s very subtle, but I think that describes why you say it is like ‘ay’ but shorter. I think of how it sounds when we say ‘hey’ versus ‘hay.’ Did anyone else

This is a great series, I'm on my second time through. If english speaking people use the word école, they seem to put the stress on "-cole" but you put the stress on "é-". Is there a rule here? I couldn't hear where the stress was on "élève".
