💬 Test your accent

Knowing how your French accent actually sounds is almost impossible on your own. Apps won't tell you, French people are too polite, and you can't hear yourself from the outside without doing the strange recorded-voice grimace. So read my four little lines: I'll have a listen and send you an honest report card. You'll know what already sounds good, what is getting in the way, and what to fix next.

Read these four little lines in your normal voice — not your theatre voice, not your panic voice, just you.

  1. Bonjour, c'est Amélie : je marche dans la rue, près du vieux mur.
  2. Un bon vin blanc, un bout de pain brun, puis nous allons goûter.
  3. Vous avez oublié vos petits mots : le thé est très léger.
  4. Je souris, puis je répète trois phrases rapides sans avoir peur.
