Pronunciation The Final -R



In the infinitive of an -er verb, we don't hear the final r. 

-er is pronounced like é:



J'aime skier
But when r is followed by -e as in the infinitive faire




Qu'est-ce que vous aimez faire?




you do not pronounce the e, but you must pronounce the final r clearly. The r

is also pronounced in the word endings -ir, -oir. Listen to the following words, repeat until you have mastered the pronunciation, then record the finished product for Thursday 16 Jan:
