  1. Les Voyelles

  2. I has two prounciations in French. The first pronunciation is like the ee English sound in the word feet or sheep To make the sound lips are fully spread and the blade of the tongue is raised very close to the front of the mouth. This is a high front vowel. The muscles around the mouth are tense. The first is as in English sheep and French Merci Il (he) vie (life) finir (to finish) A circumflex over the î generally indicates that usually (s) has been lost over time: île(island) is not telling you how to pronounce it.

  3. Le son - I Les VoyellesAnglais Mot Anglais Les mots Français Vite(veet) = Quickly Ami = Friend (ah-mee) La gîte (lahzheet)= (shelter) Le/les pays (luhpey-ee) Type = Kind or sort/guy/chap • I eefeet • Î eefeet • Y eefeet

  4. I > Un AutreVoyelle The second pronunciation is like the ‘Y’ sound in fianacé. It occurs when I is followed by another vowel in the same syllable j can be slightly confusing –it simply means the sound written a y in English yes. • Say ia,ie,io,iu as a Y sound like yes in English • ia = la fianacé, dépliant(brochure) • ie = bien(good), rien(nothing) l’escalier(stairs) • io = le camion (lorry), l’avion (plane), • iu = l’acquarium(acquarium), aluminium
