Free online courseFrench Pronunciation Course: Master Vowels, Nasals and the French R

Course Description

Improve your French accent with this free online pronunciation course focused on the sounds that most often challenge learners. Designed for anyone studying French, it builds a clear understanding of how French vowels are produced and how small differences in mouth position can change meaning.

You will work through the core vowel groups, including front unrounded and back rounded vowels, then move into front rounded vowels with practical contrasts that help you hear and produce distinctions more confidently. The course also guides you through French nasal vowels, showing how to avoid common mix-ups between nasal and oral pronunciation and how to sharpen your listening skills for real-world comprehension.

A dedicated section targets the French R, with explanations and practice to help you develop a more natural sound. You will also connect pronunciation to spelling patterns, so you can predict how words are said when you see them in writing. This includes guidance on word-final consonants and frequent letter and spelling combinations used in French.

Ideal for beginners who want strong foundations and for intermediate learners looking to correct fossilized mistakes, this French course fits well into self-study and supports speaking confidence, clearer listening, and more accurate reading aloud.
