French Sound and Alphabet Easy

The pronunciation on this is not quite accurate. The letter ‘r’ in IPA is wrongly written as [r], but he French ‘r’ is not pronounced as [r] nor as in Spanish nor as [ɹ] as in English, it should be [ʁ], which is a little like a throat gargle. Keep that in mind. Sometimes the [ɑ] is wrongly pronounced [a] in the words. There are other issues. I recommend getting the Interactive IPA app to sort these thing out. If you’re just trying to learn French, this is a good start, but if you want very precise pronunciation, get an IPA app to go along with this and also look up Foreign Service French Phonology, which teaches very precise pronunciation.I still think it’s worth buying.

Having the schematic of the mouth placement for each sound, accompanied by the reader speaking a list of several words with that sound in it is genius.
