Uvular Speed Training

Uvular Speed Training

Since the uvular sounds happen so often in French, you will have situations where the they occur in two or more consecutive syllables. Since you are new to it, you still may need preparation time to articulate the sounds. This is why we need to train speed as well.

The song training will help you in developing your speed and control of the uvular consonants, but a bootcamp drill will go a long way as well.

When you first start with this drill, you will need to do it slowly. After repeating the exercise for a while, you will gradually be able to increase the speed. So make a point to perform this drill at least five times a session, and at least twice a day.

I promise it will go a long way in developing the raw motor ability needed to speak French!

Alternate between the two syllables to a steady beat.
After each measure, double the number of times you say the syllables.
Double two more times until it is so fast that you have to fuse the sounds.
Do this drill 5 times in one session, at least one session per day.

Once you are comfortable with this drill, you may continue to the Submission Page.
