Pronunciation Warm-Up One reason we sometimes lack confidence speaking French is that we are uncertain or uncomfortable with the pronunciation and accent… Watch the videos… try the accent and the suggested intonations…

Intonation We communicate a lot with the tone of our voice. With a partner try saying these sentences with different moods / emotions: Où sont mes clés? Le train part. La porte du garage était ouverte pour toute la nuit et personne n'a remarqué.

Write out sentences, speak aloud and try to comprehend your partner (or) ad-lib a variety of sentences utilizing the following emotions: Impatient/hurried excited/thrilled amused curious angry despairing Impatient Excité Amusé Curieuse En colère Désespéré Finished early?
