Salut!
Last week, Marie (from Marseille) and I (from Paris) had an informal conversation in French. But could you spot our accents? If not, don't worry because I have a little surprise for you!
In today's episode:
- learn how studying accents helps you fine-tune your listening skills and pronunciation
- train your ear and spot the differences between Marseillais French and Parisian French
- discover the surprise I've got for you!
Today's takeaway:
1. Mute E's are pronounced in Marseille. Nasal sounds (IN, ON, AN, UN) have a bit of a twang and è sounds just like é!
2. Did you struggle and find it hard to hear any clear difference? You might have a listening issue. But fear not, simply enter your email here to receive a 7-day course that will teach you exactly how to unlock your comprehension skills and kickstart your listening confidence! Goodbye guesswork!
