I noted four words for you that I heard on 98,5 fm that use the â sound:
base, fâché, jaser, passer
The â sound is like “aww” rather than “ah.” But you don’t have to do the “aww” sound if you don’t want to. If you say “ah,” you’ll still be understood 100%. No problem.
A specialist spoke about children who are fidgety in class. She described them as les élèves qui ont la bougeotte. There’s a new expression you can learn today if you like.
And finally, do you still sometimes have trouble saying and understanding the numbers 90 to 99? Like quatre-vingt-dix-huit? Try listening to 98,5 fm more often.
The name of the station is quatre-vingt-dix-huit-cinq-fm. If you hear that over and over, at least you’ll get 98 into your head!
