Master Your French Sounds Now!

***********************
The basic building blocks of any language are the word sounds (or 'phonemes'); get a good grasp on these and your
language will have a solid base. This app is the best tool for the job.

Super (*****)
Super ! Works well.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. (*****)
By selecting just my specific problem phonemes and slowly expanding my repertoire through daily testing, I am resolving issues I have had with French word recognition and pronunciation for more than 20 years.

The perfect companion for the book "Pronouncing French" (Regan, 2001) and the IPA Manual.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

=======================================
Have you seen 'Elemental French'? It combines Alphabet, Numbers, Phonemes and Gender, all in one app. Now available at a special introductory price.
=======================================

* All recordings by a native speaker, made in a professional studio.

* Hear the accurate pronunciation of all the French Phonemes, written in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), along with many example words.

* Reference: Touch any phoneme to hear it spoken.

* Reference: Touch any phoneme to see and hear one or more example words that use that phoneme.

* Reference: Use the basic voice synthesizer to assemble phonemes into words, to get a rough sense of the pronunciation; excellent
tool to have alongside a dictionary providing IPA hints.

* Practice: Hear a randomly selected phoneme and touch the corresponding button; the pronunciation will be repeated until you get it right. You can even select exactly which letters you wish to practice.

* Test: Hear 100 randomly select phonemes and touch the corresponding letter; at the end, you will be presented with your score.

Still not convinced? No problem - take our Free version for a test-drive (bit.ly/frenchSoundsFreeAppDownload); it's free and is identical to the full version except
that it gives only the first four phonemes and doesn't have a Test, as that would require the full set. If you like it, you
can even instantly upgrade from within the app.

Look for our other French Apps: 'French Alphabet' (bit.ly/frenchAlphabetAppDownload), 'French Numbers' (bit.ly/frenchNumbersAppDownload) and 'French Gender' (bit.ly/frenchGenderAppDownload), all part of a toolbox to help you solidify
your foundation in the language.
