Your personal program will guide you through one-on-one conversational sequences and will include exercises of French sounds and intonation patterns to help you achieve a near-native pronunciation.

Each lesson lasts 30 minutes. The number of lessons is determined by your individual needs and rate of progress.  

Conversational sequences can be geared toward business or travel topics at the student's request.

Lessons are given at all levels of proficiency in French, from that of the BEGINNER who is eager to speak with proper pronunciation to that of the ADVANCED NEAR-NATIVE SPEAKER who wants to identify and improve specific elements of pronunciation.

FrenchSounds, LLC has developed its own pronunciation materials that incorporate individual sounds within various intonation patterns.  They also include practice of liaison, the dropping of mute-e's, and the various levels of speech style.

The FrenchSounds, LLC teaching materials will be sent to you before each lesson or Package of lessons.  You must purchase your own French text at the bookstore of your choice, unless you only want to practice pronunciation with the FrenchSounds, LLC materials which are included in the lesson fees.
