Pronouncing French

A Guide for Students

An introduction to the pronunciation and phonetics of French for English-speaking students. Recent research has shown that adult learners can achieve good and even near-native pronunciation by using a phonetics-based approach. This book is the result of many years’ experience of teaching pronunciation and takes the student in easy stages through the different sounds of French. No previous knowledge of phonetics is required. The style is lively and accessible and each chapter contains a set of specially designed exercises for the sounds studied.
