Here's how to break it down:
* "o": This is the sound of the vowel "o" in the word "hot". It's a short, open sound, similar to the "o" in the English word "lot".
Important Note: It's important to remember that "hot" in French is not a word in itself. It's usually used as an adjective to describe something that is hot, such as "un café chaud" (a hot coffee).
