First Lessons in French - Renee Ezinne Awa

The aim of this book is to simplify the French Language sound system so that it can easily be adopted by the Anglophone learner. Many learners ask questions as to why the French words are not pronounced as they are written and how they can pronounce and read well. I tell them that, first of all, the French words are pronounced as they are written. What is necessary is to obey the rules of the French Phonetics. Although, I totally acknowledge that there are too many rules in French language than one can remember, I also admit that without them, we can never make any headway in Phonetics and pronunciation. A lot of Anglophone people have learnt French Language and even acquired the correct intonation. This will also be applicable to you provided that you are interested in learning this language. In this book, we are going to present the French phonetics in a simple and approachable manner for the Anglophone learner. In this way, you will know that it is not as difficult as you have always thought.
