French pronunciation
The letter combination SC has two possible pronunciations:
1) In front of a soft vowel, SC is pronounced as a single sound: [s]
 |
Par exemple… |
| sceller | to seal | |
| la science | science | |
| susciter | to provoke, arouse |
2) In front of a hard vowel or a consonant, the two letters are pronounced separately: [sk]
|
Par exemple… |
| un escargot | snail | |
| scruter | to scrutinize | |
| tarabiscoté | ornate, fussy |
The letter C on its own follows similar rules.
