Je suis desolee d'ecrire en anglais, mais je ne parle pas bien francais. Je vous prie de m'excuser. This book and the accompanying cassette are excellent for self-study and would probably be even better with a teacher . The book is not aimed at English speakers but should be useful to anyone of any nationality trying to get a better understanding of French pronunciation. The approach is systematic and clear and the cassettes are quite useful. The emphasis is on phonetics and understanding and distinguishing different sounds, not on orthography.
