The U vs OU Sound Salut! Today you're tackling one of the most important pronunciation distinctions in French — and one of the hardest for English speakers to hear at first. Video below Le son U — lips rounded, tongue forward near your teeth Think of the English "ee" sound but with your mouth shaped like an O tu, vu, une, sur, lune Le son OU — lips rounded, tongue deeper inside the mouth Think of the English "oo" in food tout, vous, roue, soupe, bouche The best practice sentence — Tu vois tout ? Tu = U sound / tout = OU sound — both in the same sentence! Minimal pairs — say these slowly and exaggerate the difference tu — tout vu — vous sur — sourd rue — roue lu — loup bu — bout jus — joue nu — nous mur — mou These two sounds can completely change a word's meaning, so it's worth drilling them until the difference feels automatic!
