This is a casual podcast about the English language.  I will talk about conversations I had during the day and question that were asked.  Group class plans will also be discussed.

Reflections

Welcome ! ☀️
Because it’s summer — and to keep things feeling light and fun — this podcast channel aims to stay connected to French pronunciation. The episodes are short and straightforward, each focusing on how to pronounce essential French sounds that are tricky or commonly mispronounced.

Today's episode is about the pronunciation of the nasal sound “in”.
➡️ Read the transcript while listening, to link the sounds to the spelling.
➡️ Prepare a paper and a pen, you will need them for the little quiz at the end of the episode.

Have fun !
