Learn French Audio

It is vital when you are learning French that learn French audio be available to you as you learn. The reason is this; it is obvious that to learn French is to learn the words and the vocabulary. But what most people overlook is that it is just as important to learn the accent. Let me explain this to you by means of an example. Has someone approached you in the past speaking English (when it was not their first language) and you couldn't understand a word they were saying. They may have been saying the right words and their vocabulary could well have been excellent but their accent was so thick that you just couldn't get a word of it, or you had to ask them to speak so slowly just to understand what they were saying. In this situation it all comes down to accent. If the visitor had spent more time learning the accent then they would have been understood the first time.

So how do you learn an accent - the answer is repetition (not a very exciting answer is it). When I was learning French I was learning initially on a cassette tape and I would rewind then play and then rewind and then replay just to nail down the accent. These days there are much better learn French audio systems. If you learn French online then you can replay examples of French words and phrases just by clicking a mouse. Most online French programs these days have audio as an important part of their system of learning. Like I said learning the words is just as important as learning the accent.
