Difficult Words to Pronounce in French
This is a lesson to help you out with difficult French pronunciation. You know how some French words just seem impossible? You may find some of those on this list, and I’ll bet some of them will be new to you! Let me know in the comments if there are other French words you find difficult to pronounce.
The first step is to watch our 13 minute video tutorial carefully and take notes, maybe even making your own pronunciation rules. I’ve included a 1 page study guide in my free course so that you will have all of the examples used in the video written down for you both in French and in English as well as 3 hints to help you out in your pronunciation. You must be logged in to your LLL French Academy account (it’s free to sign up!) to access this course and everything that is included.
In the next step, you’ll be able to listen to and download François’ 7 minute audio recording of the same 50 words. This will allow you to listen, repeat, and practice over and over again from anywhere! He will say each French word slowly two times, and then follow up with the English translation.
