Master the French.

Master standard Parisian French — uvular R, strict liaison, four nasal vowels.

France French is the standard French of France (fr-FR). It uses a uvular R at the back of the throat, nasal vowels as in "blanc", and links a final consonant to the next vowel (liaison). AnyAccent scores each word and sentence against this accent.

About this accent

The phonetic identity of French.

France French uses a uvular R (back of the throat), strict liaison rules (linking final consonants to following vowels), and four nasal vowels that English lacks entirely. Each syllable gets near-equal weight — French is syllable-timed, not stress-timed.

Uvular R
