đ„ The 2 Golden Rules of French Pronunciation:
1. The "CaReFuL" Rule: The final consonants C, R, F, L are usually pronounced at the end of French words (e.g. avec, mer, neuf, fil). Other final letters like -s, -t, -d, -x, -p are almost ALWAYS silent!
2. The Liaison: When a silent final consonant meets a word beginning with a vowel, it wakes up and binds to the vowel sound:
Les amis is pronounced lay-zah-mee (not *lay ah-mee*).
