Like many people I love the sound of the French language and I wish that I could speak it better!
One difference between American English pronunciation and French pronunciation is that in English we always pronounce s at the end of a word. French students learning English often forget to say that sound.
You must pronounce word final s when you are speaking English. Failure to do so will cause you to make both a pronunciation and a grammatical mistake!
Keep in mind that word final s has three different sounds in spoken English. These are: /s/ as in pets, /z/ as in kids, and /əz/ as in bunches.
