Helpful Tips

Bank: Take bank. Take out the 'k' and add 'que'.

Port: It is spelled the same in French.

Restaurant: It is spelled the same in French.

Dentist: It is spelled the same, but with an 'e' at the end.

Playground: When you think of playground, think of recreation. Récréation is the last word.

Apartment: It is spelled the same, but with a double 'p' and an "e" jammed in there.

Museum: Take off the last syllable and add another e. You now have two 'e's and you have to put an accent over the first one.
