@founded: At 2 days old, Freddie Figgers was found in a cardboard box by a dumpster and adopted by Nathan and Betty Figgers. Growing up, kids called him a dumpster baby. Years later, his dad developed Alzheimer’s and went missing. Freddie found him miles away and in that moment knew the man who rescued him needed saving. So he got to work, building a GPS shoe with a 2-way speaker so he could track and talk to his father. That tech then sold for a reported 7-figure sum. Instead of retiring, he poured the money into Figgers Communication, one of the only Black-owned telecoms in the US, now reportedly valued around $62M. From abandoned newborn to $62M founder, Freddie’s story is proof that where you begin doesn’t define how far you go

⬇️ Rules applying to liaisons below ⬇️ A liaison happens when a normally silent consonant at the end of a word is pronounced because the next word starts with a vowel or a silent “h”. Example: les amis → /lezami/ The “s” becomes a “z” sound.  1- Mandatory liaisons (Obligatory) These liaisons are almost always required in correct French. * Article + noun The article connects with the noun. Examples:  les enfants → /lezɑ̃fɑ̃/ un ami → /œ̃nami/ des oranges → /dezɔʁɑ̃ʒ/ * Pronoun + verb Examples:  nous avons → /nuzavɔ̃/ vous êtes → /vuzet/ ils arrivent → /ilzaʁiv/ * After short common words Examples: très intéressant → /tʁɛz‿ɛ̃teʁesɑ̃/ chez elle → /ʃezɛl/ dans un café → /dɑ̃zœ̃kafe/ * Number + noun Examples: deux amis → /døzami/ trois enfants → /tʁwazɑ̃fɑ̃/  2- Optional liaisons These liaisons are more formal and often used in careful speech. In casual conversation, many French speakers skip them. * After plural nouns Examples: des étudiants intelligents → /dezetydjɑ̃zɛ̃teliʒɑ̃/ (formal) * After some adverbs Examples: souvent utile → /suvɑ̃tytil/ très agréable → /tʁɛz‿agʁeabl/ * After “quand”, “dont”, “mais” Examples: quand il arrive → /kɑ̃tilaʁiv/ mais elle vient → /mɛzɛlvjɛ̃/ 3- Forbidden liaisons ❌ Some liaisons sound unnatural or incorrect. * After “et” NEVER make a liaison after “et”. Examples et elle ❌ /e tɛl/ Correct: /e ɛl/ et un ami ❌ Correct: /e œ̃nami/ * After singular nouns Usually no liaison after a singular noun. Examples: un étudiant intelligent ✅ mais: le professeur arrive ❌ no liaison * After proper names Examples: Paris est beau ❌ no liaison between “Paris” and “est” * Before an aspirated H Some French words begin with an “aspirated h”, which blocks liaisons. Examples: les haricots ❌ /lezariko/ Correct: /le ariko/ Focus on these first: ✅ les amis ✅ nous avons ✅ vous êtes ✅ ils arrivent ✅ très intéressant These are the most common and natural. French likes smooth connections between words. But remember some liaisons are mandatory some are optional some sound wrong #french
