French pronunciation
101
Speak French clearly and confidently,
no more hesitation
You understand French… but when it’s time to speak,
your pronunciation makes you hesitate.
You’re not alone.
Most learners know the grammar and vocabulary —
but they still don't sound natural and confident
out loud.
Here's the part that usually gets skipped:
pronunciation isn't something
you learn from a book,
it's something you train,
the same way you'd train an ear for music.
French Pronunciation 101 is that training,
built step by step,
turning what you already know
into what you can actually say.
I'm Marie-Juliette,
and French is actually my first language,
not a second one I'm teaching from a manual.
What you'll find in this course isn't generic pronunciation theory;
it's the same
shadowing and ear-training method
behind my YouTube channel,
the one learners already use to retrain their ear for sounds
English simply doesn't have.
This course takes that method and focuses it entirely on the handful of things that most reliably mark a foreign accent, in order, with the drills to fix each one.
Is this for you?
This course is built for you if you can already read French comfortably,
mostly follow it when it's spoken,
and still hesitate, freeze, or feel embarrassed the moment it's your turn to talk.
It is not a beginner French course.
If you're starting from zero, your time is better spent building vocabulary and basic grammar first;
come back to this once you have something to pronounce.
A little sneak peek inside the course
What you'll learn
This course guides you step by step through the sounds, rhythm, and melody of French - the real mechanics behind a natural accent.
You’ll learn to recognize, reproduce, and master even the trickiest French sounds — including those that don’t exist in your native language.
With 5 video modules and over 20 hands-on exercises, you’ll quickly move from theory to real practice through powerful activities like:
Shadowing practice — guided repetition to improve your accent, rhythm, and flow
Ear training — discrimination auditive to sharpen your listening skills and learn to hear the subtle differences between similar sounds
Targeted pronunciation drills — fix the most common mistakes and build new, accurate habits
Curriculum
Module 1 – The Basics of French Pronunciation
Discover what makes French sound unique — its rhythm, intonation, articulation, and mouth positioning.
Module 2 – Vowels and Nasal Vowels
Learn to distinguish and pronounce tricky pairs like é / è, u / ou, and nasal sounds like un / in / on — the foundation of a clear, authentic accent.
Module 3 – Consonants: Silent Endings and Challenging Sounds
Master those consonants that often trip learners up — r, g, c, s, z — and finally understand when a final letter is pronounced (or not!).
Module 4 – Liaisons and Linking
Learn how to naturally connect words and speak with rhythm and flow, just like a native speaker.
Module 5 – Spoken French in Real Life
Dive into how French is actually spoken: contractions, dropped sounds, and natural rhythm — so you can understand and sound like the French you hear in everyday life.
At the end of this course,
you'll be able to:
Pronounce every French sound with confidence, no more hesitation.
Hear the difference between similar sounds.
Speak more naturally and fluently.
Feel comfortable and at ease when speaking French, without mental blocks holding you back.
Your Bonus
Join now and, seats permitting,
you're one of 10 people invited to my next
Live Pronunciation Clinic:
a 45-minute group call
where you bring the sound
that's still giving you trouble and
we work through it together, live.
It happens once a month, and the invite goes to the first 10 people who join,
no more,
so the call stays small enough to actually be useful.
Once those 10 seats are gone, they're gone until next month.
The course itself is yours either way, lifetime access doesn't depend on timing, only the live seat does.
