Some netizens left a message asking, "Strange, why are there no phonetic symbols for the words in the French textbook I bought?" What should I do? " When people think, God laughs. In fact, the phonetic symbols of French words will only be completely marked in the dictionary; Why? Because French pronunciation is regular, you will find that the most intuitive difference between French and English is that there are some stress symbols on some letters, such as "é, à", which are actually used to determine the pronunciation of letters. All annotated letters are unique in pronunciation. Other letters without comments have different pronunciations according to their positions in words, but they are all fixed and regular. Therefore, mastering the French pronunciation rules will solve the French spelling problem. Even if you are given an article that you don't know a word, you can read it without any other help.
Problems that should be paid attention to in phonetic learning;
(1) Prevent reading French with an English accent; French pronunciation is famous for its elegance and solemnity. Without diphthongs, tongue rolling would not be as "frivolous" as English.
② Avoid the influence of dialects. Such as n; L is not equal to.
Suggested methods for phonetic learning:
(1) It is best to have a teacher to bring it, so that the sound can be corrected. Of course, the premise is to find a good teacher.
② You can watch some French movies, listen to French songs and broadcast them in French. It doesn't matter if you don't understand them. The key is to create an atmosphere so that you can subconsciously "feel" the pronunciation and intonation of French, so as not to pronounce it too far.
2. Chinese and foreign textbooks are used in parallel.
After learning English for so many years, I finally speak poor "chinaenglish". I think one of the biggest reasons is that when I was studying English, I was limited by conditions and lacked a set of excellent original textbooks to guide me. Try to avoid this problem in French learning.
At present, two sets of Chinese and foreign textbooks are used to explain French in parallel in university professional teaching: Chinese textbooks are mainly used to introduce French and explain grammar, which are usually written according to the thinking mode of China people and are easy to understand and accept when explaining; The original French textbook is compiled according to French language habits and ways of thinking. What you learn is not only simple pronunciation and grammar, but also an objective understanding and experience of their ideology, social culture and ideas, which is very important for language learners. Just like when foreigners are learning Chinese, if they are not familiar with China's language habits, it is difficult for them to understand what "things" are and whether they are "things" only by their own teachers.
Problems in the selection and use of teaching materials;
① Try to use authoritative and popular textbooks. This is not only convenient for you to learn pure French, but also convenient for you to communicate with people online. Your textbook is too biased to find a "bosom friend".
(2) the principle of seeking the best, not the most. A good textbook, one set in Chinese and one set in French is enough, and the rest can only be used as a reference at best, and it is not appropriate to use equal force.
Common textbooks to choose from:
Chinese:
① Chinese: French (Ma Xiaohong)-a general textbook for French majors (***4 volumes). Generally, amateurs can only read the first two volumes.
② Chinese: Concise French Course-a general textbook for English majors as a second foreign language, and also a common textbook for training courses.
③ Chinese: Public French-a common textbook for French lovers.
French original:
① Refletes, the best French textbook at present, adopts video teaching mode, which is pure, easy to learn and practical, and is especially recommended.
(2) "New French has no borders"-not bad, but it will be gradually replaced by "Reflets".
3. Cultivate interest and persevere.
"Interest is the best teacher", learning a language is a very interesting thing, and it is easy to make people feel a sense of accomplishment, especially in the Internet age. From not knowing French, to being able to make simple greetings in French on QQ, I gradually developed into posting a few French posts in the community, and gradually understood some short sentences when watching movies. When I listen to French songs, I feel more than just beautiful melodies. You can immediately find a place where you can use the newly learned things online, or you can immediately find an online community to post questions for discussion. Feel your progress and make friends, why not!
Due to the differences in personality and learning purpose, there are often some phenomena of "giving up halfway" in French learning. For example, the more people come to the French training class, the fewer students come; Actually, I think this is normal. If there is no great pressure, such as exams and interviews, you can stop when you don't want to learn. Of course, it is best not to be completely isolated from French here. You can listen to French songs and watch movies, which will make French accumulate in your own consciousness and make it easier to learn again. Of course, if you really want to learn French well, you still have to "persevere". After studying for a certain period of time, everyone always finds it difficult to improve. This should be the law of learning anything. If you overcome the past, you will have a "bright future."
4, often listen to often recite often export chapter.
The easiest way to learn a language is to listen and recite. Many things are fixed, so you can use them whenever you take them. Memorizing some common sentences, practical essays and learning to sing beautiful French songs are all good methods.
5. If you have questions about real-time communication, please ask.
In the network age, information transmission is extremely convenient. Sometimes some problems that beginners can't turn around in a few days can be solved by finding a "teacher" or "classmate" on the Internet in a few words, which is both time-saving and thorough. In the French community and dating books, there are many experts who are not afraid of unsolvable problems. Of course, a very realistic problem is that most of these services are mandatory at present, and many questions need to be answered promptly and accurately. However, I think with the development and maturity of the network and respect for personal knowledge and time, online paid French education exchange will be gradually accepted by everyone because it is not limited by time and place and the service price is low. Then everyone will have more choices.
