Speaking Les Vacances

• Learn how pronounce words more effectively
• Sound frencher than a baguette

16
Pronouncing French words Why is it so hard?

• All languages are based and built upon letter
  strings and combinations which build the sounds
  required to pronounce the language.
• With your native language, your mouth becomes
  accustomed to a certain group of letter strings
  and hence finds a new set of rules hard to get
  its tongue around.
• Thats why foreigners have an accent when they
  speak English and you have an accent when trying
  to pronounce French.

17
RULES FOR BETTER FRENCH
H is almost always silent French (thats why
the French find it so ard to pronounce in
English!)
Generally, never pronounce the last letter of a
word in French
CH is pronounced SH
Raising the tone of your voice ( not the volume!)
at the end of a phrase infers that you are
asking a question
