Q

GRAMMAR -

When you ask how something is spelled or pronounced in French, you use the particle se (which becomes s’ before vowels) with the verbs for ‘to write’ (écrire) and ‘to pronounce’ (prononcer).

Note: that double letters like ‘double n’ are said as ‘two n’ in French: deux N

A

For example:

  • Comment ça s’écrit, ton nom ? How is your name spelled?
  • A, deux N, E. A, double n, e.
  • Et comment ça se prononce ? And how is it pronounced?
  • Ça se prononce « Anne ». It’s pronounced ‘Anne’.
