There are actually French words beginning with the letter Z. Some are imported foreign words from ancient Greek or more modern languages, however, some are original French words and the following are a few examples of all: Zèbre - Zebra Zebrè- Striped Zèlateur - Zealot Zèle - Zeal, enthusiasm Zènith - zenith (height), light breeze Zeste - peel Zigouiller - To knife, to kill Zingeur - to cover with zinc, galvanize Zoologiste - zoologist Zyeuter - to squint at
In China, we do have different song and animals for the alphabet a to z. It may be a little bit hard for English speakers at the very beginning.
z is not a vowel

If the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +EDe.g. RUB > RUBBED HOP > HOPPEDIf the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +INGe.g. RUB > RUBBING HOP > HOPPINGWords ending in w,x,y,z don't follow this rule, just add ED or ING e.g. snowed, snowing, boxed, boxing
It follows the standard rule: monosyllabic words ending with a single 's' or 'z' double that consonant and add 'es' to form the plural. This is the logic: if a word ends in an 's' or 'z' you cannot just add another 's' to form the plural - it would be unpronounceable. Therefore you need to add 'es'. However, if you add 'es' to a monosyllable ending in a single consonant, the 'e' will turn the vowel into a long vowel. Therefore you must double the final 's' or 'z' to keep the vowel sound short when you add the 'es'. If you did not double the 'z' of 'quiz' when you formed the plural, it would be pronounced 'kwy-ziz' instead of 'kwi-ziz'.
