For Portuguese speakers

Like Portuguese, French comes from Latin, so a lot of the vocabulary is familiar. The great difficulty lies in pronunciation (nasal vowels, the guttural r) and in the links between words, where spelling and sound drift quite far apart.

  • Conjugation of the main verb tenses
  • Gender, articles and agreement
  • Pronunciation, nasals and liaison with audio
