Both from personal and professional experience, learning and being able to use vocabulary is a vital component to having confidence and being successful in communicating in any foreign language. Therefore it is important to teach vocabulary well to help students acquire and use the language, as well as develop that confidence.
I couldn’t find a French pronunciation chart that was exactly what I wanted for my KS3 French and GCSE French students and so I created it.
The PDF document contains 3 sections to help students with their pronunciation of French sounds, some letters and common letter combinations that cause a problem. This includes: nasal sounds, silent letters and letter combinations, such as ‘ui’, ‘au’, ‘ch’ etc.
