French pronunciation is tricky because it uses nasal sounds which we do not have in English
and there are a lot of silent letters. However, if a word ends in C, R, F or L (except verbs that end in -r)
you usually pronounce the final consonant. Their vowels tend to be shorter as well. The French slur
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
Two sounds that are tricky to an American English speaker are the differences between the long
and short u and e. The long u is pronounced oooh, as in hoot. The short u does not exist in English
though. To pronounce is correctly, round your lips as if to whistle, and then say eee. The long and
short e are relatively easy to pronounce, but sometimes it is difficult to hear the difference. The long
e is pronounced openly, like ay, as in play. The short e is more closed, and pronounced like eh, as in
bed.
