Salut! Today you're learning why the same letter can sound completely different depending on what comes after it. Video below Le C doux — soft C, like the "s" in English c (before e, i, y) → ceinture, cinq, cirque, cinéma, cycle, cycliste ç → français Le C dur — hard C, like the "k" in English c (before a, o, u, or a consonant) → cadeau, camion, chocolat, colonne, culture, cube qu → question, qualité cc → accident, accueil The simple rule: c goes soft before e, i, and y — and hard everywhere else. The cedilla (ç) is just a way to force the soft sound when the spelling would otherwise make it hard. Can you make a few sentences using today's words? Write them in the comments below!
