Pronounce It Perfectly in French with Audio CDs (Pronounce It Perfectly CD Packages)
by: Christopher Kendris Ph.D., Theodore Kendris Ph.D.

Editorial Review:

This revised and updated language program emphasizes the importance of pronouncing French words and phrases so that the speaker can be understood by the French and French Canadians. It presents exercises in sound discrimination and accurate sound creation--for example instructing in pronunciation of French vowel sounds and nasals such as eu and oei, which many English speakers find especially difficult to master. Words and sounds are put into a variety of conversational contexts for students of French to practice and perfect. This new edition provides the added convenience of audio compact discs to replace the old tape cassettes. The book has been updated to include the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) as a pronunciation guide.

Best pronunciation guide I could have purchased:

This guide is the best book I could have bought. The instructions are in English which takes the guessing out of learning especially for beginner and intermediate students like me. They use English sounds that closest resemble the French ones and the universal phonetic code for clarity.

Excellent- if you struggle with pronunciation, this a valuable tool:

I bought this method not really expecting much from it but I was pleasantly surprised! I have yet to complete all the lessons but so far I think they it`s really quite excellent. The book that comes with it is incredibly detailed and very useful. For those that require the IPA symbols they are also included as well as diagrams of how to position your mouth. For the price of the method it really is fantastic and it surpassed all my expectations. I live in France but struggle with my accent and pronunciation... more info

NOT a luxury, a must have for those learning French:

One of the most difficult things about learning French for the average English speaking person is getting the pronunciation correct. There are many nuances of sounds, meter, connecting syllables, etc. This book and accompanying CD organizes the skills you need in priority order and delivers on it's objective. In a brief time, you will develop a good accent even working 10-15 minutes a day. If you combine the study of this volume with a digital recorder and a French Reader that comes with a CD such as Easy... more info

Just what I needed:

This is a well-organized summary of French pronunciation. I found it very useful. There are unfortunately some typographical errors and some discrepancies between what's on the CD's and what's in the book. There is unnecessary verbiage [in English] on the CD's.
