So a b c d f to j f is similar to the English ff g soft when followed by an e or i sounding like the s and measure otherwise it's hard like go. So f H is ash always silent in French hash. It's it's like if you you write it a s ash ash. I similar to the English e as in c. So e g it's not g but pronounced like the English zash sound similar to the s and leisure. So G K to O K is similar to the English K but we will pronounce C. It's like we don't we don't pronounce the Y at the end. So it's like just K a C L like the English L M. It's like M in English. N exact same thing. and O exact same thing. Pay to t pay like the English pay. Q it's Q. It's like if you write it with the K U Q Q R R in French is the most difficult letter to pronounce because you pronounce it with the the throat, not with the thong. So the throat it will be R.

The next one sis and it it's sis and not six sis set this also this one it's not but this do tatters can size. This one is size and not C size this set. So it's like this plus set. This set Nv. So now the multiple 10 to 50. So that this is pronounced this with ss 20 vant and it's not quant but like a a kant and 6200 swant. So you you have the possibility to say this orant this orant this so is like four * 20 this it's more like four * 20 plus this and s so that that's what I'm uh I told you before so you you know 20. So 21 it's easy. You just add one. Same thing with 35 49. So you you take the first one the first uh number. So and you add the number you want after that. So same thing with the 30 40.
