PRONUNCIATION LESSONS IN ENGLISH FOR FRENCH PEOPLE (BY TELEPHONE). (Only for advanced learners of English.) Pronunciation of English can be very tricky for French people, for example, th, ough, u and i. The translator offers pronunciation lessons which help improve English pronunciation. Before the lesson, either the learner or the translator will suggest a text which the learner will read aloud over the telephone. Every word which is incorrectly pronounced will be corrected by the translator who will pronounce the word correctly. One should point out that she is English mother tongue and uses standard English pronunciation or the "Queen's English." The learner will be invited to say, correct and repeat the words in question and then re-read the sentence. At the end of the lesson, the translator will review all the words which causes problems.
