Description

Struggling with French pronunciation?

And it leads to these problems?

  • You often can't understand fast french

  • You'd like to get a visa or residency in France but language is the biggest hurdle in your way

  • You feel anxious and awkward when speaking

  • Native french speakers regularly make confused faces when you speak

  • You need to pass a test but the speaking and listening parts stress you out

  • It increases your stress when communicating in French speakers


To remedy these issues, you usually need 3 things:


  1. Time:

Pronunciation takes time, especially since a lot of methods out there are not efficient.

Courses with official institutions last over 20 hours.

When you factor in your obligations -work, family, life admin-, scheduling live lessons can extend the course over several months, with unguaranteed results.


   2. A High Budget:

Recent studies show that French as a second language teachers are undertrained when it comes to French pronunciation.

Only 1.5% of their training time is dedicated to pronunciation & phonology (Miras & Vignes, 2021).

Talented French Pronunciation & Accent Reduction teachers are a rare find, thus expensive (1-1 courses start from several thousand dollars).


    3. Customized material:

As an English speaker, you'll encounter specific struggles when acquiring French pronunciation. 

Different from difficulties met by a native speaker of Spanish, or Chinese, or Arabic, etc.


That's because :

Languages, when it comes to pronunciation, are simple.

They consist of a number of sounds (phonemes). This number is very limited.

French consists of 36 sounds. English consists of 44 sounds. Spanish consists of 24. Etc.


When 2 languages share a large number of sounds: speakers from these countries can pronounce each other's words easily.

Italians can pronounce Spanish without difficulty, for instance.


Good news: French and English share a lot of the same sounds.

Bad news 1:  These common sounds are often not produced by the same alphabet letters. You'll need to know the rules.

Bad news 2: Some sounds only exist in French. You'll need to learn how to make them. Physically.


To acquire French pronunciation fast, you'll also need a lot of customized examples.

Words carefully curated so that you don't waste time learning sounds that already exist in English.

English words that would boost your French progress by 10 times.

But words that you wouldn't think of.

Because that's not your job, this requires extensive knowledge of both French and English, from a field expert.


Here is an example:

How would you pronounce "chat"? "T-SHA-T" like in English?

No. Think of the English pronunciation of "Cheryl, Chicago" ... "Champagne"!

The letters "CH" in French make up the sound "SH".

"chat" (meaning "cat" in English) is pronounced "SHAH".



To sum-up, to learn French pronunciation you need:

  1. Time, to acquire the sounds and learn the rules

  2. A high budget, to find & learn from a professional that'll guarantee you get feedback and results

  3. A customized course, that will fix the specific hurdles experienced by North American English speakers


3 things that most learners of French simply can't afford.


This is why I decided to create this course.

It is designed to let you master:

- the 36 sounds that make up the French language

- all the rules that'll let you read and speak French like a native


But before telling you more on how this method will work on you, so that you become a confident, native-sounding French speaker, let me introduce myself:


My name is Adrien.

I'm a native French instructor with over 12 years of experience teaching both English and French pronunciation.

I was born and raised in France, and learned to speak English at an adult age, past 22 years old.

I have lived in Australia, Japan and speak English with a hint of a French accent (especially when going back and forth between English and French in the same conversation).

Over 75 learners of all ages have acquired French pronunciation with me, using the same method that let me acquire English.


One day, after years of seeing so many American and Canadian learners of French struggling to find a program that would successfully fix their French pronunciation,

I decided to create a comprehensive, efficiency-focused, step-by-step course customized for North American English speakers.


So, how does the method work?


1. You'll learn along another English speaker

Most of the videos of this course were recorded with Emma, from Denvers, who experiences the same difficulties as you.

She'll have most of the same questions.

She will make a lot of the same mistakes as you would.

She'll get the corrections and feedback you would.


2. You'll learn from a native, bilingual accent reduction expert

I have authored several best-selling language and pronunciation courses (sold in Asia), covering both French and English.

I know English in and out: my corrections are custom-made for English speakers.

I use this experience to teach you french pronunciation in an unprecedented level of customization.


3. You'll learn the sounds and rules with a proven method for English speakers

I'm using a "magic mix" that has always gotten my students through the finish line of mastering French pronunciation:


  • The phonics method: you'll hear and visualize each sound through precise videos and diagrams

  • The verbo-tonal method: I'll engage your ears, eyes and body simultaneously.

    This technique will allow you to perceive each foreign sound physically, just like a musician follows a conductor.

    You'll replicate it via tailored exercises.


4. You will practice with real-life conversations

You will not practice from random words and phrases listed one after another.

Two crucial parts of pronunciation are: rhythm & intonation.

Rhythm and intonation reflect the emotions coming with words and phrases we're saying.

You'll get 17 drills consisting of French natural conversations so you can practice the intonation of:

- neutral questions

- surprised questions

- rhetorical questions

- short responses

- long-winded sentences

- exclamations

- and many more.


In short, everything that makes the language alive and fun!


5. You'll get a Live coaching class with me

After completing 50% of the course, you'll get access to a free coaching session with me.

That way:

- You'll get more interactive practice

- You'll get my feedback on your weaknesses & quick hacks to fix them

- You'll get a roadmap to keep your clean pronunciation
