Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing 'courant' like 'current'
The French 'r' sound is guttural, made in the back of the throat, not like the English 'r'.
Forgetting the liaison
The 't' in 'est' should link to 'passé' to sound like 'eh pah-SAY'.
Mispronouncing 'passé'
The final 'é' sound is like the 'ay' in 'say', not a short 'eh'.
