One of the first things #French students learn is two ways to say "you." In some cases, the choice between 'tu' and 'vous' is obvious, but sometimes it's more of an art than a science - even native speakers don't always know which one to use. Learn more in Lawless French à fond:

In #Italian, consonants can be divided into pure and impure sounds (or simple and complex sounds). While both types can occur anywhere in a word, they only really matter, grammatically speaking, at the beginning of masculine nouns.
