"However" is an English equivalent of the French phrase par contre. The pronunciation of the prepositional phrase -- which translates literally as "through opposition" and loosely as "by contrast, in contrast, though" -- will be "par kont" in northerly French and "par kon-truh" in southerly French.

Is contre in french masculine?

It depends whether you're using it alone or not. "Un contre" literally means "a counter" (like when a player charges down a kick in Rugby, for instance), and in this case it is masculine. If part of a two-piece word, such as "un contre-argument" or "une contre-offensive", it assumes the gender of the word it is linked to ("argument" and "offensive" in my examples, which are masculine and feminine respectively). It can also mean "against", though (for instance "je suis contre le racisme"), and in this case gender won't matter to you because it won't affect how the word is spelled or used.
