Pronunciation French Initial Consonants
Prononciation des consonnes initiales
French and English consonants at the beginning of a word are pronounced pretty much the same way except for a few.
I’d like to focus on words starting with PN and PS in this lesson. They are pronounced differently in French than they are in English.

- m/f …. pneumatique …. inflatable
- f …. pneumonie …. pneumonia

Bonjour Anne,
J’aime bien cette leçon. C’est très utile parce que la prononciation de ces mots en anglais est vraiment différente. Merci!
Je t’en prie, Paméla. Merci à toi.
