The Uvular Bootcamp

As a French learner, you may have a STRONG tendency as an English speaker to replace the French uvular consonants with the English /ɹ/ sound.​ These uvular sounds are not only non-existent in English, they are also the MOST common speech sound in the language. 

​Doing this is perhaps the biggest giveaway of whether you have a bad accent. Acoustically, the English /ɹ/ sound is completely different from the French Uvular consonants. Yet this is still the most common pronunciation error that English speakers make. This is why the uvular consonants have their own bootcamp.

In this unit, you will train hearing and mimicking all of the possible Uvular Consonants in French and perform special drills to build the motor skills needed to articulate these sounds accurately and effortlessly.
