FRENCH LESSON – HOW TO PRONOUNCE FRENCH VOWELS

Vowels in French can have accent marks; except for “e”, this doesn’t usually change the sound:

a, à, â	like “a” in “father”
e	like “a” in “about”
é	like “ay” in “say”
ê	like “e” in “set”
è	like “e” in “set”
i, î	like “ee” in “feed”
o, o, ô, au, eau	like “oa” in “boat” or “aw” in “law”
ou	like “oo” in “food”, but a pure vowel
u, ù	more or less like “oo” in “food”, but the tongue is like “ee” in “feed”; written uu in transcriptions
y	like “ee” in “feed”
