225 - The Mute E: Why It Disappears in Spoken French

In this episode, you’ll learn why French speakers sometimes drop the mute “e” in spoken French.

🛑 A quick note: In this lesson, we’re not talking about the silent e at the end of words. We’re focusing on the mute e that can disappear inside words or in short words like je, me, te, le and de in everyday speech.
