Mastering silent letters in French!
Salut tout le monde! Ever feel like you’re doing great reading a French sentence, until you stumble upon a word that looks like it has five extra letters you aren't supposed to say? You are not alone. Mastering silent letters is the ultimate shortcut to sounding less like a textbook and more like a local. In French, we love writing letters just for decoration. Here are three major culprits you’ll see constantly: - Le Grand (The Tall One): Grand is pronounced "grahn". That final -d is completely silent. - Parler (To Speak): Parler is pronounced "par-lay". Whenever an infinitive verb ends in -er, the -r goes quiet. - Salut (Hi/Bye): Salut is pronounced "sah-loo". Throw away that final -t! Why This Matters If you pronounce every single letter, French becomes choppy and robotic. When you learn which letters to drop, your speech instantly gains that smooth, flowing rhythm the French language is famous for. Tonight, we are stripping away the guesswork and building your beginner foundations from scratch. No prior knowledge needed, just bring your curiosity! We kick off tonight at 9:00 PM Bangkok time (10:00 AM EST). Ready to start your French journey with total confidence? Drop your name in the comments below if you are joining us tonight! See you there!
