Vocabulary only gets you so far if people can't understand what you're saying. French Pronunciation for English Speakers breaks down French sound by sound — the vowels, nasal sounds, the notorious French R, liaison, rhythm, and intonation — so you can move from guessing how a word sounds to actually knowing.
Written by Dr. Isabelle Dos Santos, a native French speaker and educator, this guide is built specifically for the sounds English speakers find hardest.
What's inside: 29 chapters walking through French vowels, nasal sounds, the French R, liaison, rhythm, stress, and intonation, with IPA transcriptions throughout so you can see exactly how each sound is formed. 50 high-value words chosen for common pronunciation pitfalls. 20 pronunciation mini-dialogues to practice sounds in real spoken context, not just in isolation. A 30-Day Speaking Challenge and a quick-reference guide to keep improving after you finish the book.
If you've ever been told your French sounds "off" and didn't know why, this book gives you the tools to fix it.
