The letter combination au is pronounced like a closed o, as in rose.
| Par exemple… |
| au | to/at/in the (contraction of à + le) | |
| chaud | hot | |
| mauvais | bad | |
| une auto | car | |
| un taux | rate | |
| un cauchemar | nightmare |
The letter combination eau is pronounced exactly the same way.
