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 !
