Voilà l'alphabet français, Voilà l'alphabet français !
The alphabet
You may well have to spell out your name and perhaps your address in
French. Here is the alphabet and the way it is pronounced:
Letters that end in an -ee sound in English end in an -ay sound in French:
b c d p t v
Letters that start with an 'e' sound, like English 's', are virtually identical
in French:
f l m n s
The vowels are short sounds:
a e i o u
For g and j swap the English pronunciation around:
j g
The remaining letters are:
h - pronounced ash k pronounced like the ca in cat
q - pronounced coo r pronounced air w pronounced doo-bla vay x pronounced eeks y pronounced ee grec
z - pronounced zed
