Recordings of mp3s were done by a native speaker
of French from Haute-Savoie. Feel free to download them for your own personal use or in other non-commercial educational settings. I encourage French teachers to use them in classes too! If you use Mozilla Firefox, I highly recommend the DownThemAll add-on to make downloading much faster and easier.
For the vocabulary lists, I am making audio flashcards [French to English and English to French] with a flash mp3 player in each "card" so you can listen to the pronunciation of the words as you study. The flashcards will open in a new window and you simply click => to go on to the next set of flashcards or to continue on to the exercises.
The exercises can be matching, multiple choice or fill in the blank and they
will also open in a new window.
I am slowly changing over the pronunciation
guides to standard International
Phonetic Alphabet symbols, though only French I is finished so far and Internet Explorer has some
spacing issues with the symbols. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to view this site.
There are many more countries and regions around the world that speak French instead of just France, Quebec, Belgium and Switzerland, but those are the only dialects that appear on this site for now so that is why only those four flags are shown at the top of the page.
Book Recommendations. Language textbooks
are rather expensive and generally only include the formal, written language.
You will need more exposure to the real spoken language if you want to
be become fluent. In addition to the Champs
Elysees audio program, as well as a good dictionary, grammar review,
and book of verb conjugations, I have used the following books and materials
for learning French:
