- umanwizard 7y agoEnglish “bit” is not pronounced like French “bite”. The vowels in “bit” and “beat” (or “shit” and “sheet”, or “bitch” and “beach”, etc.), sound completely different to native English speakers. The latter is closer to French “bite”. The former does not exist in standard European French.
