What else is important to communicating in French?
Crucial aspects that you should observe as you listen to Linguata French are the speaker’s use of stress, intonation and rhythm. Note in particular that syllables tend to be stressed evenly, i.e. at the same volume, throughout a phrase whereas in English stress tends to occur within words. Listen, for instance (in ‘A First Few Words. 2’) to ‘J’essaye d’apprendre le français or Un café noir, s’il vous plait’. You will notice variations in tone with a dip at the end of each grouping of words but the volume or intensity remains remarkably consistent throughout.
