    PART 2 – Letters
    However, it can also be useful to look at the letters organized according to their pronunciation. In the
    table below, the letters in the columns rhyme (=rimer en français). For example: A /eɪ/, H /eɪtʃ/, J
    /dʒeɪ/ and K /keɪ/ all rhyme:

    Notice in particular G and J: They are not pronounced as they are in French. G is /dʒiː/ and J is /dʒeɪ/.

    Also pay attention to Z: In some varieties of English it is pronounced /ziː/ (eg., US) and in others it is
    pronounced /zed/ (eg., UK).

    In the table, you can see both the "capital" or "upper case" letter (= lettre majuscule), on the left, next
    to the "lower case" letter (= lettre minuscule), on the right.
