Years 4, 5 and 6: French Phonetics

We often think of French as difficult to pronounce. This is because we need to place our mouth differently when we make the French sounds. This takes practice of course!
Think that it is the same for a French person learning English! :)
Have a go at the following presentation and practise the sounds:

Key French sounds & spellings from Jo Rhys-Jones

Here is a funny video of the French Pink Panther trying to pronounce English words... Not easy for him either! (I hope you are doing better at the French sounds!!)

What does the koala say?
