Chapter 1 - Lesson 1 Alphabet

Bonjour and welcome, viewers and students, to Let’s speak French (Parlons français). This
course consists of 50 lessons spread over 10 chapters. These lessons on basic French are
short and easy. And if you follow the program regularly, I can assure you that every soon,
you will be able to understand French quite easily.

All the lessons in this program will be bilingual. The explanations and the theoretical portion
will be covered in English, so that you can follow them. The pronunciation and the examples
will be in French. The aim of this module is to learn the French alphabet. At the end of this
lesson, you will be able to pronounce the French letters and spell out simple words.

In today’s lesson I will introduce you to the French alphabet. Like the English alphabet,
there are 26 letters in French:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

And now I will recite the alphabets in both the languages.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

However, the French alphabet contains 6 vowels: A, E, I, O, U and...any guesses which is the
sixth one? I’ll tell you, it’s the letter “Y”. The remaining 20 letters are all consonants.

Now, I will show you how to pronounce these letters. Although they are the same as those of
the English alphabet, the majority of the French letters are pronounced differently. Let me
first point out those letters that have the same English pronunciation:
F, L, M, N, O, Q, S
