COMPREHENSIBILITY

How well can others understand you when you speak and write in French?  Comprehensibility relies on your pronunciation and spelling.
Here are some ideas for how to improve your comprehensibility:
  • In speaking:
    • listen closely in class to how your teacher pronounces words
    • listen to the pronunciation of vocab words as you study Quizlet flashcards
    • listen to French music and watch French TV shows or movies to improve your fluency
    • watch the videos below that explain the rules of French pronunciation and spelling
    • look up words on Forvo.com to hear their pronunciation from a variety of speakers
  • In writing:
    • use the spelling function in Quizlet to practice spelling of vocab words
    • practice writing out your vocab words and verify their spelling in the unit packet
    • look up the spelling of new words on WordReference.com
