@EternalRose Do you mean given an arbitrary word it is not possible to figure out where to put the accent?

Well, it needs more practice than rules.. But I hope these 2 websites will help : http://french.about.com/od/pronunciation/a/accents.htm http://socyberty.com/languages/french-accents/

I'm sorry I can't help you with that. I never hear rules of e muet. I think it's just a matter of pronunciation

I do not agree. There should be some rules on French accents e.g. Thimonnier It is not possible to memorize all words

French is different language has some exception in writing but that doesn't mean,it's hard language,just you should memorize the words like that with mute (e) or with accents,because in French we use accents for (a,e,i),so the important which you should know it,it's the pronunciation of those accents with(i,e,a) some of them has a same pronunciation,but you can search it in dictionary and check it in notebook,to remember it well,the rule of this accents just to make meaning to the words or to be easier in pronunciation that's all good luck 尤瑟夫．
