I’m really excited to start a short series of episodes dedicated to French pronunciation to mark the achievement of over 2 years of creating, testing and refining the online course that I’ve been working really hard on for you!

“How to sound like a native French speaker – Everything you need to know about French pronunciation and intonation” will officially open on May 9^th, 2018.

Save the date because it will come with a special and limited offer!

I’ll also do a live session on Saturday May 19^th, at 1.30pm (Melbourne Australia time). You can send me your questions about French pronunciation and intonation now and I’ll try to answer them during the session.
