Annoying things
-emme is often pronounced -ame: Évidemment - obviously; Femme - woman, f
The F of Neuf when followed by a vowel turns into a V: Neu-v-ans - Nine years old
Determiners Le/La turn into L’ when before a vowel or H- (L'homme) when it has Latin roots but remains Le/La when the world has Germanic roots (Le hérisson)
-ch- can be pronounced -k- because of Greek: Orchestre, m
Negations are placed differently depending on the verb: if it’s conjugated, there’s one before and one after (N'entrez pas); if it’s in the infinitive form, two will come first (Ne pas entrer)
