BA221 French Pronunciation: Speedy Shortcut to Better French

Course description

"I have a good grasp of French, but when I speak, people often ask me to repeat myself -- or even switch to English. It’s so frustrating!" 

Sound familiar? Then our pronunciation class is for you. In six short weeks, you will noticeably improve your ability to communicate in every area of your French life. In each 90-minute class, you’ll get …

- 30 minutes work on the French phonemes. Sometimes our mother tongue acts as a filter so we can’t even hear a sound, never mind reproduce it correctly. Through listening exercises (poetry, music...) you will learn to produce key French sounds by paying attention to your lips, tongue, vibration, and more.

 
- 30 minutes using typical dialogues from daily life to become familiar with the rhythmic-melodic scheme of French and how to use it yourself. 

- 30 minutes for spontaneity and fun where we put into practice what we have learned during the session. We will read texts aloud and perhaps even sing!
