Learn French by speaking it out loud
Stop switching to English the second a Parisian answers you.
Why speak French with Lou
French rewards people who speak it out loud. The spelling hides half the sounds, so the only way to get it into your mouth is to say it, hear it and say it again.
With Lou you practise the everyday stuff first: greetings, orders, small talk. Liaisons and nasal vowels come along for the ride.
The tricky bit: Silent letters and nasal vowels. Lou repeats the line until you can say it without thinking.
