How do you pronounce ç in French?

The letter "ç" in French is pronounced like the "s" in "sun".

Here's a breakdown:

* It's not pronounced like "ch" as in "chair". That's a common mistake for English speakers.

* It's a soft "s" sound, similar to the "s" in "sister".

Examples:

* ça: (pronounced "sa") - meaning "this" or "that"

* façade: (pronounced "fa-sad") - meaning "front" or "exterior"

* français: (pronounced "frahn-say") - meaning "French"
