Pronunciation of Vowels
FRENCH
For me it seems French is a language that for every attempt to say "this vowel sounds like _ in the word ______, a French person could say "no it is different". On top of that, You too can learn French webpage
discusses how French pronunciation varies from one region to another. Would a native speaker from the French Riviera say to a Parisian:
Excusez-moi, mais votre prononciation a des défauts."
I've decided to make sound files to illustrate the various vowels. Also, because in French people seem to rush through the sounds (as if trying to prevent you from hearing what they are saying), the speaker is required to repeat the word three times.
