Notice that French has informal and formal ways of saying things. This is because there is more than one meaning to "you" in French (as well as in many other languages.) The informal you is used when talking to close friends, relatives, animals or children. The formal you is used when talking to someone you just met, do not know well, or someone for whom you would like to show respect (a professor, for example.) There is also a plural you, used when speaking to more than one person. Also notice that some words take an extra e, shown in parentheses. If the word refers to a woman or is spoken by a woman, then the e is added in spelling; but in most cases, it does not change the pronunciation. To make verbs negative, French adds ne before the verb and pas after it. However, the ne is frequently dropped in spoken French, although it must appear in written French.

| [ɔ] | aw | sol, pomme, cloche, horloge | o |
| [ə] | uh | fenêtre, genou,cheval, cerise | e |
[ɑ] is disappearing in modern French, being replaced by [a]. Vowels that do not exist in English are marked in blue.
| French semi-vowels | |||
| IPA | Phonetic spelling | Sample words | General spelling |
| [w] | w | fois, oui, Louis | oi, ou |
| [ɥ] | ew-ee | lui, suisse | ui |
| [j] | yuh | oreille, Mireille | ill, y |
| French nasal vowels | |||
| IPA | Phonetic spelling | Sample words | General spelling |
| [ã] | awn | gant, banc, dent | en, em, an, am, aon, aen |
| [ɛ̃] | ahn | pain, vin, linge | in, im, yn, ym, ain, aim, ein, eim, un, um, en, eng, oin, oing, oint, ien, yen, éen |
| [œ̃] | uhn | brun, lundi,parfum | un |
| [õ] | ohn | rond, ongle, front | on, om |
[œ̃] is being replaced with [ɛ̃] in modern French
In words beginning with in-, a nasal is only used if the next letter is a consonant. Otherwise, the in- prefix is pronounce een before a vowel.
| French Consonants | ||
| ex + vowel | egz | examen, exercice |
| ex + consonant | eks | exceptionnel, expression |
| ch (Latin origin) | sh | architecte, archives |
| ch (Greek origin) | k | orchestre, archéologie |
| ti + vowel (except é) | see | démocratie, nation |
| c + e, i, y; or ç | s | cent, ceinture, maçon |
| c + a, o, u | k | caillou, car, cube |
| g + e, i, y | zh | genou, gingembre |
| g + a, o, u | g | gomme, ganglion |
| th | t | maths, thème, thym |
| j | zh | jambe, jus, jeune |
| qu, final q | k | que, quoi, grecque |
| h | silent | haricot, herbe, hasard |
| vowel + s + vowel | z | rose, falaise, casino |
| x + vowel | z | six ans, beaux arts |
| final x | s | six, dix, soixante(these 3 only!) |
There are a lot of silent letters in French, and you usually do not pronounce the final consonant, unless that final consonant is C, R, F or L (except verbs that end in -r).
Liaison: French slurs most words together in a sentence, so if a word ends in a consonant that is not pronounced and the next word starts with a vowel or silent h, slur the two together as if it were one word. S and x are pronounced as z; d as t; and f as v in these liaisons. Liaison is always made in the following cases:
It is optional after pas, trop fort, and the forms of être, but it is never made after et.
Silent e: Sometimes the e is dropped in words and phrases, shortening the syllables and slurring more words.
Stress & Intonation: Stress on syllables is not as heavily pronounced as in English and it generally falls on the last syllable of the word. Intonation usually only rises for yes/no questions, and all other times, it goes down at the end of the sentence.

4. Nouns, Articles & Demonstratives / les noms, les articles & les demonstratifs
All nouns in French have a gender, either masculine or feminine. For the most part, you must memorize the gender, but there are some endings of words that will help you decide which gender a noun is. Nouns ending in -age and -ment are usually masculine, as are nouns ending with a consonant. Nouns ending in -ure, -sion, -tion, -ence, -ance, -té, and -ette are usually feminine.
Articles and adjectives must agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify. And articles have to be expressed even though they aren't always in English; and you may have to repeat the article in some cases. Demonstratives are like strong definite articles.
| Definite Articles (The) | ||||||
| Masculine | Feminine | Before Vowel | Plural | |||
| le lit /lə li/ the bed | la pomme /la pɔm/ the apple | l'oiseau /lwazo/ the bird | les gants /le ɡɑ̃/ the gloves |
| Indefinite Articles (A, An, Some) | ||||
| Masculine | Feminine | Plural | ||
| un lit /œ̃̃ li/ a bed | une pomme / yn pɔm/ an apple | des gants /de ɡɑ̃/ some gloves |
| Demonstrative Adjectives (This, That, These, Those) | ||||||
| Masc. | Masc, Before Vowel | Fem. | Plural | |||
| ce lit /sə li/ this/that bed | cet oiseau /sɛ twazo/ this/that bird | cette pomme /sɛt pɔm/ this/that apple | ces gants /se ɡɑ̃/ these/those gloves |
If you need to distinguish between this or that and these or those, you can add -ci to the end of the noun for this and these, and -là to the end of the noun for that and those. For example, ce lit-ci is this bed, while ce lit-là is that bed.
5. Useful Words / les mots utiles
| It's / That's | c'est | /sɛ/ | There is/are | il y a | /il i a/ |
| There is/are | voilà | /vwala/ | Here is/are | voici | /vwasi/ |
| and | et | /e/ | always | toujours | /tuʒuʀ/ |
| but | mais | /mɛ/ | often | souvent | /suvɑ̃/ |
| now | maintenant | /mɛ̃tnɑ̃/ | sometimes | quelquefois | /kɛlkəfwa/ |
| especially | surtout | /syʀtu/ | usually | d'habitude | /dabityd/ |
| except | sauf | /sof/ | also, too | aussi | /osi/ |
| of course | bien sûr | /bjɛ̃ syʀ/ | again | encore | /ɑ̃kɔʀ/ |
| so so | comme ci, comme ça | /kɔm si, kɔm sa/ | late | en retard | /ɑ̃ʀətaʀ/ |
| not bad | pas mal | /pa mal/ | almost | presque | /pʀɛsk/ |
| book | le livre | /lə livʀ/ | friend (fem) | une amie | /y nami/ |
| pencil | le crayon | /lə kʀɛjɔ̃/ | friend (masc) | un ami | /œ̃ nami/ |
| pen | le stylo | /lə stilo/ | woman | une femme | /yn fam/ |
| paper | le papier | /lə papje/ | man | un homme | /œ̃ nɔm/ |
| dog | le chien | /lə ʃjɛ̃/ | girl | une fille | /yn fij/ |
| cat | le chat | /lə ʃa/ | boy | un garçon | /œ̃̃ gaʀsɔ̃/ |
| money | l'argent (m) | /laʀʒɑ̃/ | job / work | le travail | /lə tʀavaj/ |
Note: The expression il y a is reduced to y a in everyday speech. When il y a is followed by a number, it means ago. Il y a cinq minutes means five minutes ago. Some common slang words for money include: le fric, le pèze, le pognon, des sous and for job/work: le boulot.
6. Subject Pronouns / les pronoms sujets
| Subject Pronouns | |||||
| je | /ʒə/ | I | nous | /nu/ | We |
| tu | /ty/ | You (informal) | vous | /vu/ | You (formal and plural) |
| il elle on | /il/ /ɛl/ /ɔ̃/ | He She One | ils elles | /il/ /ɛl/ | They (masc.) They (fem.) |
Note: Il and elle can also mean it when they replace a noun (il replaces masculine nouns, and elle replaces feminine nouns) instead of a person's name. Ils and elles can replace plural nouns as well in the same way. Notice there are two ways to say you. Tu is used when speaking to children, animals, or close friends and relatives. Vous is used when speaking to more than one person, or to someone you don't know or who is older. On can be translated into English as one, the people, we, they, or you.
Tutoyer and vouvoyer are two verbs that have no direct translation into English. Tutoyer means to use tu or be informal with someone, while vouvoyer means to use vous or be formal with someone.

In spoken French, the tu forms of verbs that begin with a vowel contract with the pronoun: tu es = t'es /tɛ/, tu as = t'as /tɑ/, etc.
In addition, it is very common to use on (plus 3rd person singular conjugation) to mean we instead of nous.

Note: French switches the use of commas and periods. 1,00 would be 1.00 in English. Belgian and Swiss French use septante, octante and nonante in place of the standard French words for 70, 80, and 90 (though some parts of Switzerland use huitante instead of octante). Also, when the numbers 5, 6, 8, and 10 are used before a word beginning with a consonant, their final consonants are not pronounced. Phone numbers in France are ten digits, beginning with 01, 02, 03, 04, or 05 depending on the geographical region, or 06 for cell phones. They are written two digits at a time, and pronounced thus: 01 36 55 89 28 = zéro un, trente-six, cinquante-cinq, quatre-vingt-neuf, vingt-huit.
