Pronunciation of French alphabet
The French alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet and uses the standard 26 letters.
But are you sure you can easily pronounce the whole French alphabet the right way ? And what about “x, y , z” ?
Think this is easy ? Ok, let’s try another example with the following letters “c” and “h”. Those two letters may seem easy to articulate one by one but can you pronounce them when they make one syllable as in “ch” ?
The only way for you to be sure you did it the right way is to compare what you say to the audio files we have specially created with one goal in mind : your efficiency in the French phonetics field.
Our audio strategy allows us to offer you the 26 letters of the French alphabet clearly pronounced by French native speakers.
We also recorded other more complex syllables so that you feel at ease when reading French or speaking with French people.
