o, au & eau

There are actually 3 ways to make the ‘o’ sound in French. Aside from plain ‘o’, we also have the combination of a+u and e+a+u. This week we have some words containing ‘au’. Some parents mentioned to me that they make posters that go around the house (e.g., e+a+u = o). I did this in my language classes in university and definitely found that staring at them as I fell asleep helped. If this sounds fun to you, great. If you have other good practice tips, please share them with me!

au, autobus, aujourd'hui, chaud, manteau
Bonus words: auto, je saute
