Pronunciation of FOIS and MOIS

Andrea N.B2Kwiziq community member

In this lesson, these two words sounded like 'Foy" and 'Moy" (like the english word 'toy'). A subsequent lesson on adjectives that change meaning according to position had the speaker (a male) pronounce them like' Mwa' and ' Fwa'. ( Google translate and Forvo used the latter pronunciation too) . Could some one please shed light on this?

This question relates to:French lesson "Prochain/Dernier = Next/Last + [durations] in French"

Hi Andrea,

I have listened to the two examples using ‘mois’ and ‘fois’ in the lesson and I hear ‘mwa’ and ‘fwa’ which is the correct pronunciation.

However, the recording is of poor quality so will see if something can be done about it.

Hope this helps!
