Free French pronunciation teaching resources for A0-A2 classrooms.

Download, print, project, or adapt a small classroom-ready collection built around French sounds, IPA, model audio, articulation cues, and short speaking practice. No account, payment, microphone, recording, or app installation is required.

One practical teaching path

Hear one contrast, show the mouth target, say it, then use it.

Choose one sound contrast rather than presenting the whole chart at once. Let learners hear two short references, notice one physical difference, repeat two words, and finish with one useful sentence.

The materials support teacher judgement; the audio is a reference and does not diagnose, record, or score pronunciation.

Open classroom collection

Choose the format that fits the lesson.

All 8 listed learning resources, including 35 local reference audio clips, the browser-based sound chart, lesson library, and vowel trainer, may be reused for teaching. Original materials and 29 synthesized clips use CC BY 4.0; six recorded IPA samples retain their source CC BY-SA licences. Revised sentence IPA, comparison transcriptions and practice notes use CC BY-SA 4.0. The é / è and first-conversation worksheets download separately from the original 46-file pack.

Complete open teaching pack

Start with the complete bundle: editable English and French lesson plans, 35 local audio clips, the sound-chart CSV, printable references, worksheets, answer keys, licence, and checksum manifest.

French IPA and sound chart with audio

Project the chart or let learners open it individually. Each entry connects an IPA symbol to common spellings, example words, a mouth cue, and one local reference clip.

Printable teacher reference

Keep the complete IPA, spelling, example-word, and articulation reference beside a lesson plan or print it for classroom preparation.

French /u/ and /y/ learner worksheet

Use one bounded 25-minute contrast lesson with listening, mouth-position prompts, word sorting, sentence practice, and a separate answer key.

52 pronunciation lessons with IPA practice

Choose a focused sound, rhythm, liaison, or connected-speech lesson. Each page contains French phrases, IPA, English meaning, and labelled word or phrase comparisons.

French vowel trainer

Compare vowel targets by tongue height, lip rounding, and nasal airflow, then listen to the checked-in reference clips without recording or scoring a learner.

Reuse and attribution

Adapt the files for your own learners.

The classroom pack, sound-chart data, 29 synthesized clips, printable materials, original lesson phrases and meanings, and vowel-trainer content use the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. Revised sentence IPA, comparison transcriptions and practice notes use CC BY-SA 4.0, with the Lexique and Parle attribution shown on each lesson. The six recorded IPA samples retain their source credits and CC BY-SA licences; the ZIP licence file lists each recording. The website software and Parle app are not included.
