That said, you can certainly improve your accent, and the first step, or rather series of steps, is obviously to learn how to pronounce all the different French letters and letter combinations, which takes time. Next, you have to learn about the particularities of French like <i>liaisons<\/i>, <i>encha\u00eenement<\/i>, rhythm, and all that jazz.<\/p>\n<p>To a certain extent, you can learn the above on your own, by reading lessons and using audio tools.* You can hear the pronunciation of individual words in dictionaries or websites like<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/forvo.com\/languages\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\">Forvo<\/a> (also includes many phrases)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopronounce.com\/french\/bonjour\/\" target=\"_blank\">HowToPronounce<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lerobert.com\/espace-numerique\/enligne\/le-grand-robert-collins-en-ligne-12-mois.html\" target=\"_blank\">Le Grand Robert &amp; Collins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordreference.com\/fren\/bonjour\">WordReference<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s also essential to <a href=\"\/blog\/french-listening-links\/\">listen to French<\/a> as much as possible. It doesn&#8217;t matter whether it&#8217;s news, movies, cartoons, or podcasts, as long as it&#8217;s native French speakers. Training your ear is a vital part of training your tongue.<\/p>\n<h2>The human touch<\/h2>\n<p>At some point, preferably sooner rather than later, but certainly once you&#8217;ve learned the rules, you have to interact with actual humans. Some sounds can be particularly tricky, depending on your native language, so it&#8217;s important to practice those sounds over and over until you can produce them without conscious thought. But first, you have to make sure that what you&#8217;re pronouncing is correct &#8211; otherwise, you might end up &#8220;perfecting&#8221; the wrong sound (see <a href=\"\/blog\/dont-practise-your-mistakes-in-french\/\">Don&#8217;t practice your mistakes<\/a>), and getting feedback from a native speaker is absolutely the best way to do this. One helpful technique is to record a native speaker so that you can listen to the correct pronunciation as many times as you need to. It&#8217;s also useful to record yourself, as you may have a distorted idea of what you actually sound like.<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, you&#8217;d work one-on-one with a specialist, whom you can find by googling something like Skype French pronunciation, or contacting a French school. If you&#8217;re in Paris, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adomlingua.fr\/\">ADomLingua<\/a> offers in-home tutoring, with a 50% reduction for qualified students.<\/p>\n<p>If private classes aren&#8217;t possible, you might try one of these other options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alliancefr.org\/en\/individual-students-1\">Alliance fran\u00e7aise<\/a> has a state-of-the-art language lab for <em>s\u00e9ances de phon\u00e9tique<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ccfs-sorbonne.fr\/\">La Sorbonne<\/a> provides <em>cours de perfectionnement<\/em> in a language lab, guided by an accent specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Like everything, improving your French pronunciation takes dedication and motivation, and there&#8217;s a limit to how much you can do on your own.

She's American by birth and a permanent ex-pat by choice - freelancing made it possible for her to travel extensively and live in several countries before settling permanently in Guadeloupe. Laura is the creator of Lawless French, Lawless Spanish, and several other websites and books on French, Spanish, Italian, English, and vegetarianism. She spends most of her spare time reading, playing with food, and enjoying water sports.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.lawlesslanguages.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LauraKLawless\/","www.linkedin.com\/in\/lklawless"],"url":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/author\/lauralawless\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2446"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5623,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2446\/revisions\/5623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2446"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=2446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
