In this playlist, I’ll help you nail the pronunciation of the most difficult French sounds - the ones that native English speakers struggle with, to boost your confidence in speaking the language. So, if you want to be praised for your good accent and perfect pronunciation, watch these 5 videos to fake it 'til you make it: 1️⃣ French R In this video, I teach you the secrets for a perfect French R ([r]). You will learn to master the pronunciation of the letter R when it’s preceded by a vowel sound (as in “argent”, “urgent”…) or followed by one (as in “riche”, “rose”…) and when R is in a consonant cluster (as in “grand”, “vendredi”, “quatre”…). 2️⃣ Nasal Sounds In this video, I go over how to say the three nasal vowels ([ɔ̃], [ɑ̃], & [ɛ̃]). You will practice each sound on its own and inside useful words. Last but not least, I’ll also explain how to know when a vowel must be nasalized. 3️⃣. Open and Close E In this video, I explain how to pronounce the open E ([œ]) and the close E ([ø]). I’ll talk about their different spellings cause both EU and OEU can be pronounced [ø] or [œ]. So, I’ll help you understand when their pronunciation must be close and when it must be open. 4️⃣. French U In this video, I teach you how to pronounce the French U ([y]). I’ll also tell you how to pronounce the letter U in French words whether it’s alone or in letter combinations, and when you shouldn’t pronounce it. 5️⃣. Open and Close O In this video, I go over how to make the open O ([ɔ]) and the close O ([o]) and we will practice them together. I also explain when the letter O has a close pronunciation and when its pronunciation is open. I will talk about the other spellings (Ô, AU, EAU) of these two sounds and when the letter O has a different pronunciation. 🎁 *GET YOUR FREE EBOOK* Download my eBook The Key to Learning French: https://www.learnfrenchwithlexie.com/... 🌐 *VISIT MY WEBSITE* Check out all my Free Resources: https://www.learnfrenchwithlexie.com 🎵 *MY FRENCH SPOTIFY PLAYLIST* Check out my Spotify playlist with over 200 French songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7h8... 📧 *SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER* For weekly French tips: https://www.learnfrenchwithlexie.com/... ♥️ *SUPPORT MY WORK* Help me create more FREE content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lexie3lyra 👥 *SAY HI ON SOCIAL MEDIA* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/learnfrench...
