👂 << je >> vs << j'ai >> ❓
my emoji didn't work, i mean... what's the difference in sound
i.e how does "je" sound different to "j'ai"
@candle in "je", the "e" sounds like the "u" in "mushroom". In "j'ai", the "ai" is pronounced like the "e" in "Jerry". Both "j" are pronounced the same, I don't have a good english example for this one.
@vhf i already have the j down at least - thanks for the explanation, it's good!
@candle Good! Then next time, it'll be as simple as remembering 'e' and 'é'. "Je" rhymes with 'e', "J'ai" rhymes with 'é'. That's the simplest example one could come up with using french writing.
A good trick is that conjugated verbs ending in 'ai' are always 'é' whereas all conjugated verbs ending in 'ais' are 'è'. 'e' usually stays 'e' when it's final and not silent.
