Actor – le acteur

(Pronounced ak-tur)

To remember that Actor is pronounced ak-tur (acteur) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The actor received an award that looked like the Eiffel Tower.

NOTE: The Eiffel Tower is a French icon and whenever you see it in one of our images, it means that the word is basically the same in both English and French.

Acteur is masculine, so it's le acteur. Imagine the early learner winning the Oscar for best actor.
