Section 1 / Lecture 3 – Keep the Ball Rolling

Intro

In the previous lecture we learned the first three spelling rules. In this lecture we’ll revise
them briefly and then we’ll move on to three new ones.

1 - Revision

Fine, so let’s have another look at the rules we already know:

Rule #1: CH is pronounced like SH in SHE


Rule #2: I – pronounced like E in ME
Rule #3: QU – pronounced like C in CAT

2 - Rule #4

Let’s now move on to the next rule. Although this sound may be pronounced in a couple of
ways depending on its position in the word, we can assume that the pronunciation of S in ini-
tial position is like S in the English word SEE. Here are some examples:

SA SI SALUT
his, her if hello
3 - Rule #4 exercise

Read the examples:

SA SI SALUT

4 - Rule #5

Time for something more challenging. How do we pronounce Ç? This letter doesn’t exist in
English. It’s pronounced just like S in the English word SEE, which is exactly the same as S in
initial position as discussed before. Here are some examples:

FRANÇAIS ÇA LEÇON

5 - Rule #5 exercise

Read the examples:

FRANÇAIS ÇA LEÇON

6 - Rule #6

This one is easy to pronounce because you don’t pronounce it at all. This sound is silent:

HOMME HAUT CAHIER

7 - Rule #6 exercise

Read the examples:

HOMME HAUT CAHIER

8 - Rules 4-6 Recap

And here are the three new rules again:

S – pronounced like S in SEE


Ç – pronounced also like S in SEE
H – silent
