Ear-tuning - Relax and have fun whilst learning the sounds and structure of the language and pick up new words.
It can be done in a variety of ways:
- Deciphering French pronunciation - use words common to both languages to learn to recognise the changes in pronunciation.
- Deciphering Sounds - get used to recognising mood and atmospheres using the radio, films and tv footages.
- Topics - focus on recognising words pertinent to particular topics (travel, food...) when you listen to French speakers.
- Spoken French vs. written French - learn what bits of words disappear or merge in conversation, what words are used to hesitate...
- Fun: Stories and games - ideal for children especially (or young-minded grown ups!): create a realistic, fun French-speaking atmosphere.
- Ear-tuning for groups and families - learning together is more fun and helps you learn faster!
Target audience - This is useful for a variety of people, for a variety of reasons:
- Relocation - make it easier to go and live temporarily or permanently in a French-speaking country.
- Holidays - learn how to understand the locals.
- Family - communicate better with French-speaking relatives.
- Culture - discover or share with others a culture that means something to you.
- Exams - maximise your chances of success: use the tips and trick of a REAL French speaker.
