The French ‘ai’ Sound 🇫🇷🗣️

Think of ‘ai’ like ‘eh’ in English, as in “say.”

Examples:

“Aimer” – Pronounced like “eh-may” (means “to love”).
“Maison” – Pronounced like “meh-zon” (means “house”).
“J’ai” – Pronounced like “zhay” (means “I have”).
“Lait” – Pronounced like “leh” (means “milk”).
“Faire” – Pronounced like “fehr” (means “to do” or “to make”).

Now, let’s practice with a sentence:

“J’ai aimé la maison de la maîtresse, mais je n’ai fait aucune comparaison.”
