FrenchSounds, LLC offers an initial Free Diagnostic Lesson. The purpose of this lesson is threefold:
to allow you to try out the lesson
process to see what FrenchSounds, LLC can offer you
to work out any technical bugs or
glitches that might interfere with the lesson process over the
Internet
to let your Instructor assess your
pronunciation habits, using special Diagnostic Sentences, and
your current level of proficiency
Before the end of the Diagnostic Lesson, your Instructor will outline the main areas of your pronunciation habits that can be improved to achieve a near-native pronunciation. A tentative program based on your individual needs will then be proposed.
