Pronunciation.
Uu
eeyu
is pron. like "<?m/"; it must be
heard from a Frenchman. Eu,
oeu, are pron. like u in 7nucli.
Vv

VvonnnvUitlon,
The French language has three accents, which principally
belong to the c^ namely
.^ the acute accent 4
" the grave accent ^ ' ' ■
and the circumflex accent e.
If the e is without the accent it is either pronounced short or
not at all, if with the accent it is always pronounced.
Vowels,
The pronunciation of the following vowels requires most care:
- cu, is pronounced like oo in the english word /(W^.
0, au, eau, are pronounced like o.
a, is pronounced like a in the word father.
/, is pronounced like c in the word better.
-: u is the most difficult letter to pronounce, for there is no cor-
responding sound in the English language ; it sounds
like the German ii, like eeyu, and it ought to be care-
fully imitatetl from a French perj^on.
eu, oeu, are pronounced like u in the english word muih.
e, e, ^, ai, ei, are pronounced like a in the english word care.
J;y, are pronounced like e in the english word me.
' The nasal sounds: am, an, em, en, tin, oin, are equally
difficult to pronounce, and these ought to be heard and
imitated from a Frenchman. -
Rule. As nearly every educated person understands
French, those who study without a master should, when an
opportunity offers, ask the pronunciation of difficult words ;
by such means, the learner will be able to get the correct
pronunciation, which words are incapable of conveying.

3. Ilegalar Verbs,
The Infinitives of Verbs in tne French Language have the
jur following terminations : ..
er as in : donficr, to give,
ir as in : Jlnir, to finish,
tfir as in : recevoir, to receive,
re as in : vaidre, to sell.
lII that precedes this Infinitive termination is called the
"nw/" of the Verb. . •
fc Verbs which only change their terminations and not their
%ots are called ";7:if///,:7/-Vtv/^-j-,-'' those which change fheir
roots " ir regular Verbs.'''
The Verbs ending in "^/>" are all irregular, and the
French Language therefore has in reality only three regular
Conjugations.
;h j'euss ettay
ih tu euss ettay
The first Conjugation ends in ^^ er.
The second Conjugation ends in " /r
The third Conjugation ends in ^^ oir.^*
The fourth Conjugation ends in '' re.^'
Il'lie Past Participle is formed by adding to the root of the
irst Conjugation an 'V," to that of the second an '*/," to the
tourth an " //," as :
Dfltm-er, to give dowu^, given
Fin-ir, to finish /V//, finished.
