French prononciation - How to speak like a native (in no time)







In this video, I will give you some tips to improve your oral expression and speak a little more like a French “à la française”. We will mostly talk about verbal language but also a little bit about non-verbal language.



Elisions


Elision is when you remove certain letters from a word, usually pronouns.



The interjections / the strange sounds of French


This is a non-verbal aspect that you must decipher and know how to use. The French make a lot of noises between words and sentences, these noises often indicate something!



The expletives / filler words


In addition to noises, there are a number of recurring words that the French use to articulate their ideas.



The registers


This is a rather broad and complicated topic, but you should know that outside of work, in the presence of people you feel comfortable with, you can use a lighter, less formal French. Use “on” instead of “nous” Think of the slang or the shortcuts!



Rules are made to be broken


Last point … from time to time. You don’t always have to follow the structures, they are quite flexible especially for the questions.



Let's work on your pronunciation together!
