Longer sentences in pressentation, more to oral, whereas printing requires, more description

6. Work on the differences
All French agree that those sound are clearly different:
/ə/ (no accent)
/e/ (close)
mais /ɛ/ (close)
peu /ø/ (close)
blanc /ɑ̃/ (open, unrounded)
mourir /u/ (back)
rue /y/ (rounded) ≠
/e/ (accent)
/ɛ/ (open)
ma /a/ (open)
peur /œ/ (open)
blond /ɔ̃/ (close, rounded)
murir /y/ (front)
riz // (unrounded)

7. But, don’t worry! brin /ɛ̃/ (unrounded) patte /a/ (front)
Here, a lot of some French people (regions or accents) can not (under some circumstences) even tell the difference.
brin /ɛ̃/ (unrounded)
patte /a/ (front)
pomme /ɔ/ (open)
de /ə/ (central)
parlerai /e/ (subjonctif) ≠
brun /œ̃/ (rounded)
pâte /ɑ/ (back)
paume /o/ (closed)
deux /ø/ (front)
parlerais /ɛ/ (imparfait)
And finally don’t worry if you can’t tell the difference when French do, you will probably be understood 
Trying to explain to some French people that in English
/ə/ ≠ /ʌ/ ≠ /ɑ/ ≠ /ɜ/ will make her·him go crazy!

8. Other examples include:
Regional accents
Finally, like in English, regions/accents change the Sound the people use for one word.
For example, some accents pronounce les /lɛ/ whereas generally people (and dictionaries) use /le/
Other examples include:
haie /he/ vs /hɛ/
autre /otr/ vs /ɔtr/
tu es /ɛ/ vs /e/
jouet /ɛ/ vs /e/
...

10. Stress and Syllables
In English, the stress is generally at the beginning of words.
In French it’s generally at the end, which gives a different rythm to the language.
In IPA, /’/ is used
eg.
When writing a sentence in IPA, the syllables are written with /./
eg.

11. Consonants at the end blanc grand sang beaucoup tables chat hiboux
Mute, don't say it!
blanc
grand
sang
beaucoup
tables
chat
hiboux

12. Mute E l’école est /le.ko.lɛ/ la journée /la.ʒuʀ.ne/ …
e // is so discrete we generally don’t say it at the end of words (one exception is to exaggerate but you look funny)
l’école est /le.ko.lɛ/
la journée /la.ʒuʀ.ne/ …

13. Liaison A mute consonant before a vowel is pronounced
-d → /t/ grand homme /gʁɑ̃t‿ɔm/
-p → /p/ trop aimable /tʁop‿ɛmabl/
-r → /ʁ/ premier enfant /pʁəmjɛʁ‿ɑ̃fɑ̃/
-s → /z/ les euros /lez‿øʁo/
-t → /t/ pot-au-feu /pot‿o fø/
-x → /z/ mieux être /mjøz‿ɛtʁ/
-n (nasals) → [n] un ami /œ̃n‿ami/
For « C » and « G », they were said « K » in the old times, now we don’t hear it anymore, except in expressions (croc-en-jambes).
