http://www.saythatinfrench.com Learn how to sing the alphabet song in French by watching this video. You’ll find it lucky in a way that the melody for the French version of the ABC song is the same as that of the English version. The difference lies in the sounds of the letters. For example, in English the “A” sounds like ayyy whereas in French it sounds more like ahh. As I am writing this description, I realize that what I write is not the exact pronunciation for the French letters. It’s better to hear it pronounced and sung in this video. In any case, let me continue to write this as a reference. The letter B sounds close to “bay”; the letter C sounds close to “say”; the letter D sounds close to “day”; the letter E sounds like uh; the letter F is pretty much the same “eff”; the letter G is pronounced with a much softer attack on the first sound and it sounds close to “jay” but with the j sound being much softer. H sounds close to “ash” but pay particular attention to the sound of the a in “ash”. This is getting complicated to write. I am glad you will be able to hear it pronounced. Video is truly a blessing in this case because nothing I write could come close to describing how to pronounce the letter without using phonetic symbols. In any case, the letter I is pronounced exactly as you pronounce the letter E in English. The letter J sounds like “Jee” except that the attack on the J is softer. K sounds a little like “caw” while the letter L sounds much the same as it does in English. M and N both sound the same as in English. The letter O is very similar except that in French, it is a shorter utterance compared to the English O, which sounds closer to “owe” than “o”. The letter P sounds a little like “pay”; the letter Q sounds very unique, as well as the letter U. The letter R sounds close to “air” and S sounds much the same in either language. The letter T sounds like “tay”. V sounds like “vay”. W sounds like “dooblvay”. X sounds like “ix”. Y sounds like “eegrek”. And finally, the letter Z sounds like “zed”. • The good news about getting the pronunciation right with the French alphabet is that you can then transfer this ability to pronouncing other sounds correctly in French. Singing your ABCs in French is a fun way to learn how to correctly say these letters. Remember always to be good to yourself and not beat yourself up. It might take a little while longer to get certain sounds to sound just right, but in time as you hear more French sounds, your ear and mouth will adjust to these new sounds. Have fun and I hope you enjoy the video!
