Additional Information

Each word list is geared to teach you one of three different skills, depending on what you'll need to do with the vocabulary:

- LISEZ (READ): for signs in the airport, train station, on the street.

- ÉCOUTEZ (LISTEN): for phrases that French people (a train conductor, a waiter) might say to you. (Wouldn't it be nice to know what they're saying?)

- PARLEZ (SPEAK): for questions you might need to ask (Where is the station? Is this the right train?)

When you have finished with the instruction, you should be able to:

- Read and understand all vocabulary marked with LISEZ;

- Hear and understand all vocabulary marked with ÉCOUTEZ or E;

- Speak all vocabulary marked with PARLEZ or P (make sure you practice saying these words after the speaker).

Les Villes Importantes de France
Map of France

 
Here is a handy map of major French cities. Click on each to hear it pronounced by a native! We have included this map for two reasons: one, so you will be able to comprehend city names spoken orally; and two, so that if you happen to be buying a ticket to some city, you will be able to pronounce it so the clerk can understand you! (As you know, French people do NOT pronounce their capital city "PARE-ISS"….and that glitzy resort city on the Riviera is NOT pronounced "NEISS." Another tricky one is that famous Champagne town (Hint: starts with an "R"; it's just northeast of Paris). Click to hear them all…and be sure to practice pronouncing the ones you might need to say!
