L’alphabet
français
Why do you think you need to
learn the French alphabet ?
 Because
the letters of the alphabet are like
the music notes of the French language.
Knowing their names and the sound they
make enable you to read, to speak, and to
write in order to communicate.
Speaking: it is essential
