Lâ??accent grave(Ã?) : The grave accent points to the left and upward. It can appear over any vowel, but it only alters pronunciation when over the letter e. While, depending on context, unaccented eâ??s may be pronounced several different ways, eâ??s with grave accents are always pronounced ehh, like the e in the English word set. Examples: très (treh, meaning very) deuxième (doo-zee-ehm, meaning second, as in second place). read less

How can you tell if a noun is masculine or feminine in French?
In French, nouns are either masculine or feminine. Some general rules can help: nouns ending in -e are typically feminine (e.g., une table - a table), while nouns ending in -age, -ment, or -eau are usually masculine (e.g., un livre - a book).

The French alphabet has 26 letters, just like English. However, one key difference is the pronunciation of certain letters, such as the "r", which is pronounced from the back of the throat in French, unlike the softer English "r".
