The Ultimate How-To-Read Guide in for all beginners in French Language. Part 1.

Most textbooks in French Language for beginners don't include a detailed section on phonetics. That is why I created this short and complete guide for all beginners in French. To build it I have used my more than 15-years experience in teaching French Language to students all over the world and my own e-learning experience.

This course is an online version of a French Language Phonetic Course I used to teach as a university lecturer. The university course lasted about 2 months. The online version takes about 3 hours. The amount of information is almost the same.

This course is:

• short: Part 1 can be completed in about 1 hour, Part 2 - in about 2 hours.

• easy-to-follow: simple explanations, practical activities, quizzes, reminders

• progressive: each lesson is about a new topic, so every 2-3 minutes you learn a new rule and practice a new sound

• not overwhelming: step-by-step approach and short videos (1-3 minutes)

• complete: the course covers and resolves all difficulties a student might face at the beginner level (A1) 

• multi-purpose: whatever French Language Course you are attending or planning to attend, the French Phonetics 101 is a must-have basis for your quick progress in reading, speaking and spelling.

• HD quality: high quality sound and image

• feedback guaranteed: I am open to all your questions. If you don't find the answer in this course, just ask. Your progress is my concern.

• 100% practical: you listen and you read from the first to the last class. I just don't give you any other choice but to progress.
