Learning french { tips and tricks}
All words in french and english ending in “ion” are the same in spelling. The pronunciation in french is: “ee-on” ie: anticipation ‘an tee see pa see-on’ – concentration ‘ con sen tra see-on’
Le mot grand: the meaning varied depending on the sentence. Grand as “grandiose” ( immense, in the intensity of what the object / subject represents), grand in height, grand as vast. Not to be used as big ( big is large, thick)
