french listening, where the words join
written french gives every word its own space. the voice does not always keep those spaces audible. a familiar spelling can be harder to place inside a whole spoken phrase.
Bonjour.
Hello / good day.
in this greeting
the source gives this greeting both hello and good day as english meanings. that second meaning places it in the day. hear the french as one greeting, rather than expecting a separate sound for each word in the longer english gloss.
this single word has no word boundary to join. it cannot demonstrate liaison, a disappearing vowel or a dropped ne. the french note gives those questions room beyond the greeting.
a place to listen
for the listener who recognises written french and wants to spend a moment with the sound before following longer speech.
this is original spoken bilingual audio. it contains no original music or film recording. one greeting is only a small part of spoken french, and different albums need not follow the same pattern.
