SWE 174  $1.7 million dollar public toilet in San Francisco

In this episode, you will learn the French sound /ə/, also called the silent or muted ‘e’.

We start with a simple, everyday situation where the sound naturally appears – when someone hesitates and says “euh…”, just like in French conversation. Then, you’ll practice the sound in common French words and simple sentences.
--------------------
Transcription

Bonjour !
Aujourd’hui, on va apprendre un petit son très courant en français : le /ə/

Vous l’avez sûrement déjà entendu. 
Par exemple, quand quelqu’un hésite et dit : 
- Tu veux venir au parc ?
- Euh… je veux bien.

Vous entendez ce “euh…” ? 
Et le “je” ? 
C’est exactement le son que nous allons pratiquer. 
Il est léger, discret, mais très fréquent. 

------
Le son E muet dans d’autres langues
Pour vous aider à le reconnaître, écoutez comment ce son existe ailleurs.
En anglais, on l’entend dans about 
En allemand, on l’entend dans bitte ou Tasche
Vous voyez ? 
C’est un petit son très léger, presque comme un souffle. [pause]

------
Le son E muet dans des mots français
Répétez après moi : 
je 
le 
de 
joyeux 
mercredi 
cerise 
leçon 
Ouvrez légèrement la bouche et laissez le son sortir doucement. 
Répétez lentement, puis un peu plus vite. 

------
Mini exercice 
Maintenant, essayons des phrases simples. 
Répétez après moi.
"Je suis joyeux."
"Le bébé est joyeux."
"Le chat est sur la table."
"Je mange une cerise."
"Mercredi, le chat dort sur le canapé."
Répétez plusieurs fois. 
Faites attention au E muet /ə dans chaque mot. 

------
Conclusion
Bravo ! 
Aujourd’hui, vous avez pratiqué le E muet en français. 
Vous l’avez entendu dans des mots simples et dans des phrases naturelles. 
Répétez-les tous les jours, et ce son deviendra naturel. 

À bientôt !
