Learning French - My own way:Class 1 - part 1
Bonne soiree
Alas !!! doing something new. I have enrolled to french class at Paradise valley community college. Last friday -9/11( the notorious date) attended the first class. Quite an experience... Learning something new and fresh is always exciting. As a follower of 'Anekant' - new perspective/outlook is always helpful
The faculty name is Monseiur Jean Joseph Fortin - quite an interesting guy; creates an atmosphere of learning and Joy. Eloquent and Energetic.
I joined the class two days late so am bit difficult for me to catch up... but atleast back to school something I always craved for. I will use this stream to post my learnings.
French pronunciations is the most difficult part - but a quick tip for new learner from India - The phonetics can be best represented in Hindi than in English. some sounds are familiar if you relate them more to the mother tongue than English like 'Kha'.

Attaching french alphabets sounds for reference. French uses same alphabets as English all 26 but sounds are different... http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/abc.wav

French has lots of nasal sounds - being a fan of himesh will help ;-)
