Is there an easier way of learning if a french noun is masculine or feminine?

There is normally no way of knowing the gender of a french noun. However there are a few helpful rules: Rules for feminine nouns: all nouns that end in -ité (e.g. fraternité, égalité) or -tion (station, nation), end in double consonant vowel (terre, pierre, lunette), or end in -euse (chanteuse, serveuse) There are rules for masculine nouns although there are often many exceptions to these rules.
