French Alphabet Flashcards

The French Alphabet Flashcards teach you every letter of the French alphabet with high-quality audio, phonetic guides, and French word examples — establishing the sound-to-letter relationships you need before tackling vocabulary.

French has the same 26 letters as English but many sound very different. Silent letters, liaison rules, and accents (é, è, ê, ë, à, etc.) mean that reading a French word and knowing how to pronounce it are two separate skills. This deck begins building that competence systematically.

Why Alphabet Training Matters in French

Unlike Spanish, French pronunciation cannot be reliably decoded from spelling alone. But knowing the alphabet — including how French letters combine — gives you the pattern recognition needed to make increasingly accurate predictions. It’s the foundation that makes IPA training in the next step far more effective.

This deck is included in the French Pronunciation Bundle, alongside French IPA Flashcards and French Minimal Pairs Flashcards.
