Phonétique et prononciation

Undergraduate / Graduate

French sounds nothing like how it's written - until you know the code. Hone your accent and learn the sounds of French in this production-focused course for post-103 students. We will discuss and practice rhythm and intonation patterns as well as individual sounds, and introduce the underlying linguistic concepts that inform them. Towards the end of the course, we will explore varieties of French from around the world and the phonetic features that make them distinct. FREN 14300 satisfies Language Competency.
