  1. The vowel sounds [ø] and [œ]

  2. The vowel sound [ø] • The vowel sound [ø] in veux is represented by the letter combination “eu”. It is pronounced with the lips rounded and the tongue pressed against the back of the lower front teeth. To produce this sound, first make the sound /E/ as in algèbre, and hold it. Then round the lips slightly to the position for the sound /o/, as in photo.

  3. The vowel sound [ø] • Repeat these words: • jeudi • veux • peu • deux

  4. The vowel sound [œ] • The vowel sound [œ] in the word heure is similar to the sound in veux and is also represented by the letters eu. This sound is more open, however, and occurs when these letters are followed by a consonant sound in the same syllable. To produce this sound, first make the sound /E/, as in algèbre, and hold it. Then round the lips slightly to the position for the sound /כ/, as in short.

  5. The vowel sound [œ] • Practice these words: • classeur • feuille • heure

  6. The vowel sounds [ø] and [œ] • Repeat the following words: • jeudi déjeuner peux • deux veut mieux • ordinateur jeunes heure • feuille classeur veulent

  7. The vowel sounds [ø] and [œ] • Practice reading these sentences aloud: • Tu as deux ordinateurs? On peut étudier chez toi jeudi? • Tu veux manger des escargots? C’est délicieux! • On va à la Maison des jeunes? A quelle heure? • Tu as une feuille de papier? Je n’ai pas mon classeur.
