Pronunciation Practice
- Practice French pronunciation by emulating native speakers like Marc.
- Start with basic words like "oui" (yes) and "non" (no), focusing on the nasal sound in "non".
Pronouncing "Non"
- To pronounce the French "non" correctly, try holding your nose to achieve the nasal sound.
- While you don't need to do this all the time, it helps initially.
Basic French Greetings
- "Ça va?" is a common way to ask "How are you?" in French, similar to English having various ways to ask the same question.
- "Bien" means "well" and is a common response, and you can add "merci" (thanks) to be more polite.
