They allow you to train your ears in the pronunciation system of a new language in a couple of weeks, and thereby make that language a lot easier to learn in the long run, since you stop struggling to hear sounds you’re not familiar with.

A vowel is a sound that is pronounced through the mouth (and, in the case of nasal vowels, the nose) with no obstruction of the lips, tongue, or throat.

There are a few general guidelines to keep in mind when pronouncing French vowels:

  • ost French vowels are pronounced further forward in the mouth than their English counterparts.
  • The tongue must remain tensed throughout the pronunciation of the vowel.
  • French vowels do not diphthong. In English, vowels tend to be followed by a y sound (after a, e, or i) or a w sound (after o or u). In French, this is not the case – the vowel sound remains constant: it does not change into a y or w sound. Thus the French vowel is a “purer” sound than the English vowel.
