Practice French pronunciation. Pronunciation is the most challenging aspect of learning French. A website with audio clips of each vowel and consonant sound can be played repeatedly until you master them. Focus on the letters you find most challenging.
Memorize the sound of each letter. Make flash cards on index paper with each letter written on a separate card. Say the sound of the letter corresponding to the card. Repeat this process until you have memorized every letter of the French alphabet.
Do not linger on the consonants when speaking. Move directly to the vowel sound that follows in the word. Eighteen of the consonants are pronounced exactly the same as in English. Practice the 15 that differ.
Pronounce French vowels further forward in the mouth than you do with English vowels.
Study English grammar. It is necessary to know the nine parts of speech to facilitate learning a second language. The nine parts of speech are articles, pronouns, nouns, prepositions, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions and interjections.
Learn to conjugate French verbs. Conjugation refers to the process of changing a few letters of a verb to convey information about the action.
Build your vocabulary. The human mind can retain no more than eight new words per day. Focus on learning only as many words as you can remember in one sitting.
