Pronunciation - the 'cross-fit' of language!

Aural roadblock, it's a thing! Research shows that by focusing on pronunciation, adults can more easily make a new language stick!

Science points increasingly to not only auditory 'input' but production and feedback as a crucial element of language learning success. To take your language skills to the next level, follow our 'best practices' with the videos, audio files and activities in our Pronunciation Workshop. You'll train your ear to more easily recognize foreign words, and you'll sound more like a native speaker, too! Comment dites-vous 'win/win'?!
