What makes this content first-party
The website is not a separate collection of generic language articles. Its sound chart, examples, learning levels, lesson counts, and speaking-scene structure are synchronized from the Parle iOS curriculum. The current library contains 36 phonemes, 52 progressive Home lessons, and 60 daily speaking scenes.
How a pronunciation guide is created
- Choose one learner problem, such as French u vs ou, nasal vowels, liaison, or sentence rhythm.
- State the sound target and the physical mouth, tongue, lip, or airflow cue.
- Use short French examples that can be repeated without advanced grammar.
- Move from listening to one word, one sentence, recording, and a realistic speaking use.
- Connect the guide to the closest phoneme, minimal-pair, shadowing, or daily-scene practice in Parle.
Sources and notation
IPA is used as a compact map of speech sounds. Symbol conventions are checked against the International Phonetic Association chart. French spelling and usage may vary by region, register, and speaker; the site prioritises widely understood contemporary French suitable for beginner communication.
What the guides do not claim
These pages are educational pronunciation guidance, not speech therapy, medical advice, or a guarantee of a native accent. Pronunciation feedback is most useful as a practice signal: it helps a learner decide which sound or word to repeat next.
