The French alphabet 

The French alphabet  is: 
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z .
An approximate pronounciation is:
ah bay say day euh eff jhay ash ee zhee kah el em enn oh pay ku
air ess tay ue vay dubl-vay eeks ee-grehk zedh .

In addition, French uses several accents which are worth understanding. These are:
à, è, ù, (grave accents) and é (acute accent) which only applies to e. A circumflex applies to all vowels as well: â, ê, î,ô, û. And also a tréma (French for diaerasis) for vowels: ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ and combined letters: æ and œ .

Describing yourself : Learn French Language Online 

Now that you have successfully said hello and how are you to your partner, it would be a good idea to
tell them a little about yourself. When stating your nationality or job, it is not necessary to say that you
are 'un(e)' whatever-it-is, only that, for example, "Je suis Australienne". This is an exception to the normal rule.
Please use the The Nations of the World Appendix to find out what your country is called in French, and its gender.
Please note that there is both a masculine and feminine form of saying your nationality - for males and
females respectively.
To say where you live now, you use the verb habiter - "to live (somewhere)" and you form it using the
first person "Je" form (I/me) present tense - "Je habite" - which truncates to "J'habite". You then
choose the right gender for the word "in", en, or aux.
