March 02, 2021 Episode 31: Nasal vowels
Bonjour!
In today's episode, we will go over Nasal vowels (for that quintessential French sound)
We will be going over the following:
- [ ɔ̃ ]   Written ON or OM (if preceding the letter B or P)
- [ ɑ̃ ]   Written AN/EN or AM/EM (if preceding the letter B or P)
- [ ɛ̃ ]    Written AIN/EIN/IN/UN or AIM/EIM/IM/UM (if preceding the letter B or P)

Note: I did not go over the 4th nasal vowel [ œ̃ ] as its similarities with [ ɛ̃ ] require a whole other lesson.

Allons-y!
