Moreover if you put these tips with some native; either through a French course abroad or with some of the best social networking languages. So, without further ado, I'll show you a particular table commands to learn to pronounce the French. Hope will be helpful.

The Letter "e" in the French language

A letter can cause more of a problem to some, it has 2 different tones. With grave accent (è), circumflex (ê) or acute accent (é) is pronounced similarly to our "and" Spanish (mère, fête ...); albeit with grave accent pronunciation must be more open and more closed acute accent. Moreover, without an accent, it is moving to the end of words (porte), while if it is at the beginning or in the middle sounds like a mixture of "and" and "or". And that these are just a few of the peculiarities of this letter!

The Letter "c" in the French language

Attention to the third letter of vocabulary. When found before "e" or "i" (or when it takes cedilla "ç") sounds like an "s" in question. The same rule applies to "z". Also, the "ch" has a softer sound than his Castilian counterpart, and should be pronounced as "sh" English. Yes, except when it precedes the "l", "n" and "r", since in these cases should be treated as a "k".

The Letter "r" in the French language

If you've ever tried to imitate the French accent, sure you've pronounced his "r" as if it were a "g". Because you know that you're not doing wrong, for that it is how it should sound. Follow it.

The Letter "g" in the French language

When ite goes before the "e" and "i" becomes  adopts the sound of the "j". In the same vein, the form "gn" is pronounced like the most classic of literature: the "ñ" (espagnol, enseigne ...).

The Letter "ph" in the French language

This command is very easy to learn and memorize. You just have to remember that this combination have to pronounce it as the letter "f" (philosophie, photographie ...).

The Vocals in the French language

Although we have already spoken of the "e" (because well deserved its own section), the fact is that when speaking French should pay attention to all the vowels. And to do nothing better than to learn their sound. "O", "au" and "eau" are pronounced as the vowel "o" (eau, beau ...), while the combination "ou" is the sound of our "u" (Moule, vouloir ...); and the latter must be vocalized as "i", but with the lips as if you were to say "u". "Oi" has articulated as "ua" (poisson, moi ...), and "eu" and "Oue" as if you tried to pronounce the same time the "e" and "u" (peur, coeur ...). Special mention the followed vowels of "m" or "n", which must sound like you have a stuffy nose.

The Completions in the French language

Most of the "e" and "s" are not pronounced (in addition, the latter have to vocalizarla as the "s" Castilian, except when going between vowels, it must be stated with greater loudness). Also, the ending "-ent", belonging to the third person plural of some tenses, it is also silent (parlent). And also some consonants!!

The  Umlaut in the French language

As with the Castilian, the umlaut is used to destroy the combinations of vowels, so that each form part of a different syllable and sound must independently. (Héroïque, / ero-ik /).

The sharp words in the French language

French all words are sharp, and therefore the tonic accent falls on the last syllable. Although there are some exceptions. As mentioned, if the words end in "e", it should not rule; so the focus will be on the preceding vowel. This includes even those words that have been modified by the verb endings and plural form (Aventures, elles chantent ...).

The liaison in the French language

This is known in French as the words that unite their last syllable with the first of the next. In this case they have to rule as if they were a single word. This happens when a word ends in a consonant or "silent e", and the next begins with a vowel or "h" (letter which incidentally also usually silent). Thus, "les amis" would sound like "lesami" (as we mentioned, the "s" final not vocalize).

That's all for the moment
