Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing 'vous'
The 's' in 'vous' is silent, so it sounds like 'voo', not 'voos'.
Silent 't' in 'autre'
The 't' in 'autre' is silent; it sounds like 'oh-truh', not 'oh-trut'.
A small cultural note
French shops often have a good selection, and asking for alternatives is very common. Don't hesitate to inquire!
