Features: This book aims to help readers familiarize themselves with and master French pronunciation in a relatively short time. With its unique layout and emphasis on key points, it is particularly suitable for French self-learners or those who have chosen French as a second language. The recordings are read by Professor Shu Jingzhe of Shanghai International Studies University, who has taught French radio lectures for many years, and Hu Xiulin, a pronunciation expert. The idea of writing a book on French pronunciation has been in our minds for a long time. Although we already have several books on this topic, the market offers a considerable number of French pronunciation books and audio tapes, as well as videos and CDs. For a language with a relatively small number of learners, this should be more than enough. Yet, we remained persistent and eventually completed this task—the reason is simple: to do our best to provide some assistance to French learners. During our teaching process, regardless of the textbook used, even in pronunciation teaching, we must refer to various materials and supplement many new language resources for lesson preparation. Since this is the case, why not compile our efforts from lesson preparation and share them with our eager students? Currently, more French learners are university students studying French as a second language, students preparing to study abroad, or working professionals who use their spare time to learn French. They need more help from teachers. However, second-language and part-time learning classrooms often fail to meet the needs of these students in these aspects. Write a book on French pronunciation for them! Provide a supplement and summary for their classroom learning, and offer some convenience for their self-study!
