Pronunciation of é

The flaw in the above posts is that people in different parts of the anglophone world pronounce their vowels very differently eg as a received pronunciation-speaking Brit, I say é as in name and it sounds nothing like fit, in or bed. Much better to learn it by ear from a French person talking. There are myriad online resources eg French with Alexa, Comme une Française, French Today.

Bonjour Bo K.   

Try saying the English word "bed"

Concentrate particularly on the way you will say the letter "e"

This is how I learned to pronounce é.

Bonne continuation
