    Special characters vowels changing sound , vowel with a grammar accent (vowels with 'tonic accent') consonnant with special sound: pronunciation: 1) The various sounds in French the letters are always pronounced the same, as shown on the left-hand side. 2) The French language uses 'tonic accents' to prolong a vowel sound. There are not many of them, though. 3) The plural mark of a noun is never pronounced. 4) The spelling of the French language is made a little bit difficult because some consonants are doubled. (in English, this is also the case). Use a spell-checker and read things in French. 5) listening to clips or people speaking French will help you pronounce the 'nasal-vowels'.
