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 correct pronunciation of the letters "er".
➡️ Read the transcript while listening, to link the sounds to the spelling and to do the little pronunciation exercise at the end.

TRANSCRIPTION :
Bonjour ! ça va ? Moi je vais très très bien !

Aujourd’hui on va pratiquer la prononciation correcte de “er”. II existe 2 manières de le prononcer.

La première se prononce “é” et se trouve à la fin du mot. Comme dans manger.
Voici des exemples.
Répète après moi : boulanger / aller / chandelier / fumer / chanter / boucher / écouter / travailler / aimer / nager.

La deuxième se prononce “r” elle se trouve à l’intérieur du mot. Comme dans merci.
Voici des exemples.
Répète après moi : chercher / mercredi / personne / serveur / perdre / dernier / verbe / version / fermer / perle.

Attention il y a quelques exceptions, le “er” à la fin de quelques petits mots se prononce “r” comme par exemple : hier / hiver / cher / mer / fer.

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. Just keep going like that.

Prêt ? C’est parti !

1: chercher le boulanger
2: aller chez le boucher
3: merci
4: allumer le chandelier
5: je suis perdu
6: chanter le mercredi
7: préparer le dîner
8: visiter un quartier
9: appeler le serveur
10: une perle chère

Et voilà c’est tout pour aujourd’hui. Je te donne rendez-vous au prochain épisode ! A bientôt !

French Pronunciation to go

Pronunciation of "er"

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?

Beginner Chinese Listening：冬天去哪儿玩儿？Winter travel, where to go?

DOCTOR A SU PACIENTE:
-No debe usted abusar del TEQUILA. Por lo menos tiene que beber tres veces más agua que de Tequila. Venga a verme dentro de ocho días.
A los ocho días el paciente está más enfermo que antes.
-¿Hizo usted lo que le ordené? -pregunta el médico.
-Sí, doctor, estoy bebiendo tres veces más de agua que de Tequila... y créame que es una tortura.
¡Hay días que me trago treinta litros de agua!
