La liaison en français—A Secret to Sounding Like a Native!

Mastering French Liaison: How to Link Words Like a Native Speaker

Have you ever heard a French sentence and wondered why words seem to blend together? That’s because of la liaison – a special pronunciation rule in French that links words together. Mastering it can instantly make you sound more fluent!

🎥 Watch My Video: 👉 In the video, I explain the rules with examples, pronunciation tips, and practice sentences.

🔹 What is la liaison?

La liaison is when a normally silent final consonant (like "s", "x", or "t") is pronounced because the next word begins with a vowel sound.

🗣 Example:
❌ Vous avez → [vu avɛ]
✅ Vous‿avez → [vu‿zavɛ]

It helps create a smoother, more connected sound in French speech.

🔹 Why is liaison important?

✅ It shows you're aware of French rhythm and flow.
✅ It helps others understand you better.
✅ It’s often expected in formal speech.
