Episode 7: The Gnat & the Bull

Welcome ! ☀️
Because it’s summer — and to keep things feeling light and fun — this podcast channel aims to stay connected to French pronunciation. The episodes are short and straightforward, each focusing on how to pronounce essential French sounds that are tricky or commonly mispronounced.

Today's episode is about the pronunciation of the letter "c".
➡️ Read the transcript while listening, to link the sounds to the spelling and to do the little pronunciation exercise at the end.

TRANSCRIPTION :
Bonjour ! Comment tu vas aujourd’hui ? Moi ça va super !

Aujourd’hui on va pratiquer la prononciation correcte de la lettre “c”. Elle a deux prononciations : ss et k

“C” se prononce “s” après un i, un e ou un y. Comme merci ou cent.

Voici des exemples.
Répète après moi : cerise / citron / cinéma / célèbre / cyber / cycliste / ici / facile / policier / recette

Ensuite “c” se prononce “k” devant les autres lettres comme cuisine ou crabe.
Voici des exemples.
Répète après moi :  carotte / découvrir / carte / clair / calorie / crédit / couche / culture / colonie / clone

Parfois le “c” devant a, o et u le “c” se prononce “ss” comme dans ça va ou français. C’est grâce à la cédille ! Le ç.

Allez, maintenant le quiz final !
So, you will speak just after I say the number. A blank will give you time to speak. Then listen to my pronunciation. Read number 2 and listen to the pronunciation again. And just keep going like that.

Prêt ? C’est parti !

1: client
2: marcassin
3: couleur
4: cancer
5: cocasien

8: cascade
9: copain

Et voilà c’est tout pour aujourd’hui. J’espère te retrouver au prochain épisode. Ciao !
