I get confused between él and elle. I hear "elle" thinking it's "él", but then realise it's French being spoken, not Spanish.
It was about time I changed this.

I can tell the difference but IDK why. I think it's because generally in my area people have [e] or [e4] rather than pure [el] (I have [el], I'm pure). Wasn't it [El] in French too?

Yes, there is a difference, but it's enough to confuse me for a second before I realise. One moment they talk in Spanish, the next it's French.

It follows smoothly from the premise that [el] is pure, a que sí?
