Spring – le printemps

(Pronounced pran-tom – the "n" and the "m" are barely sounded)

To remember that Spring is pronounced pran-tom (printemps) in French, use the following mnemonic:

When spring arrived everything pranced around, it scared the tomato (printemps).

Printemps is masculine, so it's le printemps. Imagine our early learner riding on a spring bunny.
