Special Pronunciation Notes:
- C can be pronounced as [s] in front of e, i, and y (e.g., cerise, cinéma) and [k] in front of other vowels (e.g., carte, courage).
- G has two sounds: [zh] before e, i, and y (e.g., giraffe), and [g] before other vowels (e.g., garage).
- H is usually silent in French (e.g., hôtel is pronounced [otel]).
- R is pronounced in the back of the throat, like a soft growl.
- U has a unique sound, pronounced by rounding the lips as if saying [ee] but producing [oo].

Additional Letters (Accents):
French uses the same alphabet with added accents that change the pronunciation or meaning of words:
1. é (accent aigu) - as in école (pronounced [ay] like in "say").
2. è, à, ù (accent grave) - as in mère, où (pronounced [eh] like in "bed").
3. ê, â, î, ô, û (accent circonflexe) - indicates a different pronunciation or the historical presence of a letter.
4. ç (cédille) - as in garçon, softens "c" to [s] before a, o, u.
5. ë, ï, ü (tréma) - indicates that the vowel should be pronounced separately (e.g., naïve).

Understanding the French alphabet and its pronunciations is crucial for mastering French pronunciation and spelling.
