Station (train) – la gare

(Pronounced gar (like the English word, guard, minus the d))

To remember that Station is pronounced gar (gare) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The station was expecting trouble from some passengers, so a guard (gare) was mounted.

Gare is feminine, so it’s la gare. Imagine a Labrador waiting for a train at the station.
