- these are the French accents do you know what they are and how to pronounce them well in this video I'm going to help you master the French accents but before we
- start I cover this very Topic in way more details in my complete French course so click on the link above now let's start by the a
- u also known in English as a cute accent an accent igu is a slanted Dash that you put on on top of vowels in French you will find it on top of e in some words
- just like this have a look at that for the accent U it goes this way and it sounds like this e e to make the sound of the aent U I have some tips first of
- all smile then open your teeth a bit to create a small Gap and you simply go a A can you do that a now let's have a look at some of the
- words where you'll find it and what they sound like can you read this word it has a accent U so that means the sound is
- e have a look at this one the next one is a and what about this one
- so is the word we want and how would you pronounce this one b
- b b so what you have to know is that without when you take out this a and the word becomes for example for b b because the sound of the letter e is H now let's
- have a look at another accent La Gra or grave accent the accent gra goes the other way to the accent U like this so the sound when placed on the E is
- different from the sound of the axent igu it sounds like this e e okay so the aent sound is e but the aent gra is e e let's have look at some
- examples for example you want to say a brother you would say a a sound F or also AAR a father a pear or even this word a
- after a though this accent is many found on the letter uh it can also be found on a so when you have it on the a it means to or at or even on the U in the words
- for example o which means where the sound however on these other letters isn't altered so why put them on a U or an e you might ask well it is used to
- differentiate between other words of the same spelling for example a without an accent means has as in he has but put an accent on it
- suddenly it means at or to so a without an accent means has and a with an accent means to or at so what happen when both these accents appear on the same word
- here are some examples of what it sounds like for example have a look at this word and event now as you can see the first letter starts with an ACC U the
- second with an a gra how do you pronounce that so remember so you [Music]
- start have a look at the second word what about
- Helen enen now have a look at the last word now this one has two aent and one aent graph at the end so how do you pronounce this
- e see that e Epal okay let's have a look at lent circumflex now or circumflex accent an accent circumflex looks like a little
- hat like this and can appear on top of vowels like this o a e u and just like the aent gra the axent circumflex exist to distinguish
- words of the same spelling and pronunciation but with different meaning for example you would have this on the word s s are without accent circumflex
- means on or on top of however put an accent circumflex on top and it means safe and S Oru I am sure of it historically the
- circumflex often indicates a letter that has become silent over time for example the accent can indicate that the word used to have an S instead you see that
- for example in the word vet look at the ACC conflex vet and that means the cloes okay it was probably spelled vestment historically but now the S has been
- removed and the U replaced with an a with a circumflex however you can still find this s in
- vestiment for example vestiment now another example of this being Hospital the way we spell it in French as
- opal opal historically having an S but now removed and replaced by the circumflex so have a look at the with the circumflex remove the circumflex and
- add an S right after that and you have the word Hospital okay however you will still find it in French in the noun Hospitality okay so how does the sound
- vary when you put an accent circumflex on top of the E well the sound is very similar to the accent gra like sound for example have a look at for for for
- okay have a look at fet in fet sound not F fet and and when it's on top of an A O an O the pronunciation of the letter changes
- slightly for example the so the sound becomes deeper a o instead of a and o now here are some
- more examples of the circumflex in action for [Music]
- example so Thea accent is two dots on top of those vowels u u e and the tra accent is here to show that the vowel should be pronounced separately from the
- one next to it so for example let me give you an example you have this word m a i s with withouta me okay it means me as in but
- okay means me so the A and the E so a I are pronounced together making the sound a but put a tra on the e as in the I and
- it becomes mice M so we've got two words here M and just by adding the tra on top
- of the I or e in French we have separated the sound of a and e making it MCE so two completely different words and pronunciations but with near
- identical spelling now let's have a look at the pronunciation of words with two vowels where one has a can you read this one you need to separate the O and the
- okay so have a look at this one separate the A and the e
- naif naif and this one asteroid asteroid what about this one egist
- egist and to finish I would like to have a look at La it's slightly different from the accent I've just taught you laid is known as a sedil or the little
- hook that looks like this it's almost like a little five that goes under the letter C to indicate that the C is pronounced s instead of C Aila can only
- go under the letter c when it's followed by o u o a however it doesn't always have to be after the vowels o u a only when we need to change the sound for
- example Sha so sh doesn't take a cila as we need the C to sound like Co however the word g which is boy has a Seda as we want the
- say to sound like so we've added a Seda under the C because the letter right next to it is an
- OA G s however you will never find a sidila on C when it's followed by or e as the sound in front of these vowels already a soft C for
- example okay here we've got uh the S soft and the with an accent F have a look at this verb here
- and this word that we know very well mer mer okay the sound is already a s sound so for I and for E okay here's a little exercise can you read the following
- words with me which one has a s sound and which one has a C Sound have a look at this list of words
- Co cooler there is no Seda we pronounce it a C Sound cool have a look at the next
- one this one no so it's a cur sound because it has o afterwards
- a have a look at this one b and this
- one a it has a s because the letter that follows is a a if it didn't have a s
- then the sound will be that's that's not the word so and finally this one so do you notice that we pronounce the S sound and not the C
- and why is that because there is an i after the C and like I said to you earlier on if an i or an e is preceded by a c then the sound
- is sois now why don't you have a look at this playlist here where I give you key content for beginners remember that if
