1. French Phonics What's the point of learning French, if you're too scared to speak it?!
2. Pronouncing vowels First of all, we need to be able to pronounce our vowels properly. ‘ e ’ is the most commonly mispronounced vowel, but you need to get the others right too. Make sure you use the front of your mouth and that you move your lips properly! tu to ti t e ta du do di d e da lu lo li l e la mu mo mi m e ma u o i e (uh) a

There are 3 presentation lessons in Franco-phoniques. This is the second lesson. Each lesson introduces 8 or 9 letters, letter combinations or letter-strings with a picture or short phrase.
