The [e] sounds like 'je'.
The final 't' in 'c'est' is a silent final consonant but if followed by a vowel it is pronounced .
'Ce' means 'this/that' and 'est' means 'is'; together they make 'c'est', meaning 'it is' or 'this is'.
Every noun has a gender: masculine or feminine. To say 'a/an', we use 'un' for masculine and 'une' for feminine nouns.

There is only one way to say 'a' in French.

All nouns have a gender in French. We use 'un' for all masculine nouns and 'une' for all feminine nouns.
