Y'all, French pronunciation is hard. Like I told you guys in class today, it's starting to get in the way of me being able to understand some of your oral quizzes. We went over the phonetics of the dialogue for Friday's quiz in class today, which I hope was helpful. It's a physical thing: the shape your mouth makes creates the sounds. Before you submit your quiz, I recommend you also watch the video below. Keep thinking about the shape of your mouth as you speak. I'll see you in content hour this afternoon, where you'll be showing me your progress in Busuu for extra credit. I'll also be inviting you to do an enrichment activity on TV5 that focuses on the pronunciation of the <u> sound, like in "tu." Good luck! Bon courage!
