Number Five: HThe French H comes in two varieties: aspiré and muet. Although both are silent, one acts as a consonant and one acts as a vowel. The H aspiré (aspirated H) behaves like a consonant, in that it does not allow contractions or liaisons. However, The H muet (mute H) is the opposite: it requires contractions and liaisons. Making vocabulary lists will help you to remember which H is

Number Four: ContractionsUnlike English, where Contractions are optional and not required, in French, they are required. Whenever a short word like je, me, te, le or la are followed by a word that begins with a vowel, the short word drops the the final vowel and replaces it with an apostrophe, to attach itself to the final word ( ie: j’aime, l’ami). Contractions never occur in front of a

Number Three: To BeShakespeare once said “ To be or not to be, that is the question.” Perhaps Voltaire once thought “être ou avoir”. The literal equivalent to the English “to be” is être although many French Expressions use avoir (to have) instead. Memorize and practice these expressions and their uses, so you learn their correct usage.Learn French Quickly!

Number Two: AccentsAccents are not optional and are not there for decoration. They indicate the correct pronunciation of a word. You need to know what they mean, what words have them and which do not (and though they may be spelled the same, they can have totally different meanings, much like homophones in English), and how to type them. (Note in particular that ç never precedes e or i).
