I thought to myself, what was the best thing to learn first, for instance; what the difference between masculine and feminine; what does the accent mean, so I put this information in the chapter header pages so then I could use more space to actually learning the language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI have also put in a conceptual stage so then you can think about the language for instance. English has quite a few routes to it, like Latin; so quite a few words are very similar, even though the accent can throw us off. It sounds like proper English for instance; catégorie which means category in French which is nearly the same in English.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI believe there is no right or wrong way to learn; it depends on what you want it for; you may want to practise it on holiday or you may want to read the French newspapers, so sometimes you do not necessarily have to learn the alphabet or the grammar. I like to read newspapers on holiday and watch films in French; that is why I wanted to learn it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eI hope you enjoy this book as much as I have in writing it.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470008533170,"sku":"9781462010073","price":30.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/68a5e312dfc14e38e64ede3bbd19d450.webp?v=1779085714","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-phonetic-guide-to-french-learn-french-in-about-a-year-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
