I was wondering if anyone had a rough timeframe as to when the French Phonology course will be posted? I find it would be helpful before continuing further with the French Basic course, if I could get the prounciations down.
Thanks in advance for you help!

According to the Status Page, smoen and gdfellows were working on it. But since gdfellows' scanner has just broken down, I'm not sure how this affects progress on the course. If I were you, I'd dig in, and just wait until it comes out. After all, everything here comes up voluntarily and there are other courses on the go...

Actually, you can develop a perfectly acceptable accent from the Basic
FSI French courses--if you listen --really listen -- and repeat.
At the Basic levels, you're a lot further ahead by learning more
French, rather than pronouncing a little French "perfectly." The
accent will come on its own in the due course of time.
I used to worry about my accent as well, but my French and Quebecois friends are just delighted that I can speak their language. Everybody has an accent--even the French and the Quebecois. |

Thanks everyone for your help. I will try and plunge through the FSI course, and first give palimpsest site a try. Thanks for the link toivo! Appreciate your help.
I also have a scanner here at work that can output to pdf. So if any help is required, feel free to contact me.

Re the FSI Phonology course, I had sent the text to gdfellows for copying, while Smoen was ordering the audio. gdfellows' scanner has evidently developed problems, and he has other things he's working on as well. Accordingly, you might want to drop him a note to see if he wants to send the Phonology book to you for copying into PDF format. The written text will be of little use without the audio, though; perhaps smoen could chime in to provide an update on how things stand with the audio work.

The Phonology Audio is complete, and was sent to gdfellows a while back. I know that he was going to scan the phonology text, but his scanner went on the blink. Assuming I didn't really screw up the audio, it should be ready to post as soon as gdfellows has a chance. Thus far, there hasn't been much of a demand for this course, so I assume that, with everthing else that gdfellows has been/is doing, he hasn't gotten around to it yet. Either that, or I messed up the audio real bad, and gdfellows won't tell me.

Absolutely correct, smoen. There is no problem with your work! The French phonology audio is next in queue now that I've completed the Spanish Programmatic.
