INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your unique learning program! Rocket French has been
designed with you in mind, to take you on a fun and comprehensive learning
adventure.
Challenge yourself with new skills and expand your possibilities! Make this
experience your own, and feel invigorated as you learn to use your own
voice with a new language.
You will be prompted to say new words and expressions throughout each
Lesson Plan. You will get a sense of building on each phase of this program
as you move through the Lesson Plans and Rocket French Audio will help you
to get a feel for what it’s like expressing yourself in French.

Fundamentals
The first 25 Lesson Plans cover all the fundamentals you will need to be
able to speak French for business, travel and fun, or to assist you with an
existing course in French.

Subtleties
Lesson Plans 26 -35 cover the subtleties of the language with specific
references to potential pitfalls and how to make them easier.

Real Life
Lesson Plans 36- 45 give you a hands on and unique format for applying
what you have learnt in French in real life scenarios, ranging from difficult
conversations, applying for a job and being able to appreciate the culture
and customs of French speaking countries.

YOUR LEARNING OUTCOMES
Rocket French is about getting you there: to your first holiday, business trip
or learning experience on French speaking territory!
45 Lesson Plans are included in three key groups. Each one works
independently or as part of the set, with additional options to focus on
word building.
Each Lesson Plan has been designed with a learning outcome for you, the
user.
Learning a new language will engage you in new ways of doing things, in
new ways of expressing yourself. You will also be remembering this
information differently to what you learnt before. Every time we learn
something for the first time, we give our memory skills a brand new
challenge!
Lesson Plans 1-45 are designed to help you reach the following learning
outcomes:
► To converse comfortably about who you are, by using appropriate
methods of expression
► To have an overview of the language structure, and the ways in which
it is different to English.
► To be able to find your way around a French speaking environment.
► To be very familiar with the sound of French, the intonations used,
and confidently use your own voice to express yourself.
► To build on your knowledge of words and a have a manageable choice
of expressions available.
► To open windows on to the engaging French culture, some of its
customs and style.

FOUR UNIQUE FEATURES
Each Lesson Plan has four unique features, Fast Forward!, Rocket Audio!
Action Replay! and The Activities!

Fast Forward!
This feature will take you ahead of time to preview principles which are
explained throughout a particular module of this course. Typically, this
highlights grammar rules and principles of language structure. In this way,
you will know what to expect from each module.

Rocket Audio!
Rocket Audio lets you hear how French is meant to sound. You can choose
from over 3,000 individual audio tracks, and you can go through them one
at a time or pick and choose areas that you particularly wish to work on.
Just click on the word or phrase that you wish to hear. All words and
phrases that numbered are audio tracks. For example, click on the phrase
below:
19.11 Vous allez You are going
Each audio track has the word or phrase pronounced in English first, so that
you can have an attempt yourself at saying the word or phrase in French.
After a short gap, the word or phrase is said in French so that you can check
up on how well you did. Finally, after another short gap, during which time
you can have another go at the pronunciation, the word or phrase is said
again in French.

Action Replay!
This is a review of the material covered in each
module so that you can practice with dialogue,
expand your knowledge and have an easy reference
to return to. It’s a great way to review the topics
covered in each Lesson plan.

The Activities!
Push through the fear of getting it wrong! The multi
choice questions and activities in each of the three
groups of Lesson Plans will help you get it right time
after time, until it becomes second nature to you.

HOW TO SAY IT!
This pronunciation summary is intended as a guideline. Begin by reading
through the “English Sound” equivalents down the left column. Once you
have read them through, say them out loud two or three times whilst paying
attention to the sounds you are making as you say each word in English first.
This will guide you to use the equivalent French sound as you begin to read
through the list on the right in French. Once you have practiced the sound
in English, move across to the French word and say it over a few times.
This introduction to pronunciation is intended to ease you into making new
sounds with your own voice, which you can then build on by listening to
Rocket Audio tracks in this program.
Remember that in normal conversation in French, words are often linked
together to create connection and rhythm to spoken communication as a
whole.

The Sound of French Vowels

Vowel English Sound Example Example
LC.1 a mat j’arrive Paris
LC.2 e afraid je petit
LC.3 é, ai say j’ai été
LC.4 è care mère chère
LC.5 ê share même êtes
LC.6 i machine ici dix
LC.7 o horrible pomme police
LC.8 u music une rue
LC.9 eau, au boast gauche peau
LC.10 eu purr cheveux bleu
LC.11 oeu purr cœur bœuf
LC.12 oei œil dueil
LC.13 ou to où pour
LC.14 oi wham toi moi
LC.15 on born ton mon
LC.16 an, en song dans en
LC.17 un and un chacun
LC.18 in, ain, im bang main fin
LC.19 ien Vienna bien tient

-5-
 The Sound of French Consonants
Consonant English Sound Example Example
LC.20 ç some garçon leçon
LC.21 ch shape chat marcher
LC.22 g treasure géant genou
LC.23 g give gare golf
LC.24 gn onion ignorer montagne
LC.25 j gentle jamais jolie
LC.26 th tap thé théâtre
LC.27 qu keep quel? quand?
LC.28 eill yet vieille fille
Some peculiarities include the sound of two l’s together. In some words
such as “elle”, “she”, this is pronounced as you would in English. When it
comes to saying “vieille”, “old”, the double ll sounds like a y, to sound like
this “vee-aye”.

Pronunciation Principles
All h’s are silent at the beginning of a word
LC.29 Hôtel Hotel
LC.30 Hôpital Hospital
LC.31 Heure Time
Most consonants are silent at the end of a word (only when each word is
spoken individually)
LC.32 Français French
LC.33 Jamais Never
LC.34 Ils They
LC.35 Sont Are
LC.36 Partout Everywhere
