A single erre at the beginning of a word is also trilled. When two erres appear together, they are trilled (the sound you make when you roll your tongue). When two eles appear together, they can be pronounced like the y in English yellow, the j in English judge, or the sh in English show, depending on what country you're in. When ce comes before hache, it's pronounced like the ch in English cheese. When ge comes before i or e, it's pronounced like a raspy English h.īefore other vowels ( a, o, u), it's pronounced like the g in English good.
