Today, we are going to look at silent letters.
A silent letter is a letter that is written but not pronounced.
You've probably had to deal with words in French where almost half of the letters that
make up the word are not pronounced.
Have you ever wondered what the silent letters are and when they are not read?
Even worse, have you ever felt like you would never be able to read or write a word
in that language?
Well, in this video, we're going to clear up all your questions.
Which letters can be silent?
The silent consonants
and the single silent
vowel. .

Generally speaking, in French, silent letters are found at the end of the word,
except for the h, which is a component on its own.

There are also exceptions, as always, but don't worry, we'll look at them case by case
in the following videos.
