In truth, the secret to French’s beauty is not only in its pronunciation but its rhythm, intonation, and flow. If you would like to learn more about these secret ingredients and elevate your French in the process, I’ve got just the package for you: an 8-week live, online pronunciation course, with one-on-one, real-time guidance and feedback from me, a French tutor and language coach with over 10 years of experience.
We will first familiarize ourselves with the building blocks of the language — the individual sounds — and how to pronounce them correctly. Once acquainted with the French “sound bank”, we will put what we’ve learned into practice, while also working on the finer points (the aforementioned intonation and rhythm as well as liaison and more). Speaking French well is a physical activity and as with any sport, practice makes perfect!
This course package is perfect for anyone wanting to improve and refine their French accent, as well as those new to the language who want a strong foundation so that they don’t spend years down the line trying to unlearn bad habits.
🇫🇷 Here is what this course includes:
-One-on-one private, online lessons focused exclusively on French pronunciation and accent reduction. (A generalized course may touch on pronunciation, but won’t delve into the specifics due to time constraints.)
-Real-time, personalized, detailed feedback on your pronunciation — both your strengths and your challenges. (French speakers, native or otherwise, may notice that your accent could use improvement, but rarely are they going to tell you what specifically needs improving, let alone give you the space to practice.)
-Targeted pronunciation practice and drills focused on your personal challenges. (It can be difficult to assess your own pronunciation and identify what areas need special attention.)
🇫🇷 You will also receive:
-Activities and drills that can be practiced in between our weekly lessons to reinforce what you’ve learned.
-An end-of-course summary of what steps you can take to continue to work on your pronunciation as well as which areas to focus on.
🇫🇷 What are the benefits of improving your pronunciation?
-Increases your ability to be understood, facilitating communication.
-Improves your capacity to recognize and parse out spoken French, leading to better comprehension skills.
-Gives people (and you!) confidence in your ability to speak French, making them more likely to engage you in conversation without resorting to speaking English (or not wanting to speak with you at all)! Solid pronunciation makes a strong first impression.
-On the other hand, poor pronunciation abilities give the impression of poor language skills (regardless of your actual competence) and require more work and patience on the listener’s part.
-Being able to speak French with sound pronunciation is personally gratifying and enhances the pleasure that comes with speaking the language.
So if you want to start off your French-language journey strong or elevate your current abilities, contact me so we can take that next step together!
