For
the vocabulary lists, I am
making audio flashcards
[French to English and
English to French] with a
flash mp3 player in each
"card" so you can listen to
the pronunciation of the
words as you study. The
flashcards will open in a new
window and you simply click
=> to go on to the next set of
flashcards or to continue on
to the exercises.
The exercises
can be matching, multiple
choice or fill in the blank and
they will also open in a new
window.
I am slowly changing over
thepronunciation guides to
standardInternational
Phonetic Alphabetsymbols,
but Internet Explorer has
some spacing issues with the
symbols. I recommend
using Mozilla
Firefox orGoogle
Chrome to view this site.
There are many more
countries and regions around
the world that speak French
instead of just France,
Quebec, Belgium
and Switzerland, but those
are the only dialects that
appear on this site for now so
that is why only those four
flags are shown at the top of
the page.
