We divide the French vowels into 4 categories:
- Primary
- Secondary
- Rounded
- Nasal
In the first video, I give a quick overview of these different categories. Then for each one, I give a brief overview video, as well as MRI scans and sample word audio for you to practice mimicking.
Work your way through each vowel, doing your best to match the articulation exactly. Spend extra time on those vowels you feel you’re not getting right.
After you’ve worked your way through all the content on this page, post a summary of your experience and biggest insights in
#completions
channel for credit.
Also feel free to record yourself mimicking word list and share to #recordings
for potential feedback. ‣
