Struggling with French pronunciation? You’re not alone! Many learners find it challenging, especially when they don’t get many chances to practice speaking in their everyday life.

In this video, I’ll share essential French pronunciation tips to tackle those tricky sounds that can make you feel less confident when speaking French, like the notorious French “R,” the difference between “U” and “Ou,” and those tricky nasal vowels. We’ll also learn about silent letters and the art of “la liaison” to help you sound more natural in your conversations.

I’ll not only give you clear explanations, but also some practical ‘repeat-after-me’ exercises to help you gain the confidence to speak French with ease. Ready to improve your French pronunciation with these tips? C’est parti !

At Comme une Française, we specialize in everyday spoken French. We focus on three unique aspects that are different from school French, self-study books, Duolingo, etc:
1. We focus only on the specifics of speaking/understanding/being understood in everyday French and have unique ways to help you learn it properly & faster.
2. We focus on shortcuts to help you make progress faster, which also means we tell you exactly what you can stop learning to prioritize what’s really important.
3. We use French culture as the subject to make it fun and interesting for adults.

Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
