Question

Am I correct in assuming that the "p" in the word "compter" (je compte) is not pronounced? I tried an audio dictionary but couldn't understand it well.
Merci!!!

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct! In fact "compter" and "conter" are pronounced exactly the same.

Le comte compte le conte. (The count counts the story!)

Sra (aka Mme)
