Synopsis

A lot of French learners are sure that they understand how French works until it comes to actually speaking French and listening to spoken French in real life.
They realize that all that they had been learning in written French seems different from what the speakers are saying.
Yes, Oral French can look like a different language than Written French. But a good dissection of it as done in this book clears up every confusion.

Essential Features of this Book

• All the sounds of French are taken one by one, each with its mode of articulation, letter combinations and lots of example words.
• Liaison : All conditions for making the French liaison, with examples for each are given in a number of chapters.
• The Enchaînement is elaborately explained with practical examples.
• The enigmatic H is demystified in clear terms, with a distinction on what aspiration and actual articulation means. A full list of aspirated H words is given at the end of the book.
• Elision, including special cases and exceptions, is elaborately explained.
• Cases in which typical pronunciation rules do not work, i.e, irregular pronunciation, are clarified.

All in all, the book is divided into 8 sections and 36 chapters with a smooth progression from the simple, like alphabets, vowels and consonants, syllables, rhythmic groups to the less simple like Liaison, Elision, Enchaînement, etc.

A Handbook of Oral French is a comprehensive reference tool for the French enthusiast, whether a beginner or a veteran.
