Welcome to your French learning journey! French is a beautiful Romance language spoken by over 280 million people worldwide. Today we'll start with the absolute basics: the alphabet, pronunciation, greetings, and numbers. By the end of this lesson, you'll have the foundation to begin your French adventure. Let's dive in!
The French alphabet looks familiar, but sounds quite different! The letter A is pronounced 'ah' like in 'father'. E sounds like 'uh' as in 'the'. The French R is special - it's rolled or guttural, made in the back of your throat. Don't worry if it feels strange at first - practice makes perfect! These vowel sounds are the foundation of French pronunciation.
Now let's learn essential French greetings! 'Bonjour' means hello and is used during the day. It's pronounced 'bon-ZHOOR'. 'Merci' means thank you - say 'mer-SEE'. And 'Au revoir' means goodbye, pronounced 'oh ruh-VWAHR'. These three phrases alone will help you be polite in any French conversation. Practice saying them out loud!
