Title: Review: An Introduction to French Pronunciation
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3443.html AUTHOR: Price, Glanville TITLE: An Introduction to French Pronunciation SUBTITLE: Revised Edition SERIES: Blackwell Reference Grammars PUBLISHER: Blackwell Publishing YEAR: 2005 Announced at http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-1428.html Emanuel A. da Silva, Department of French, University of Toronto SUMMARY According to Glanville Price, his book 'An Introduction to French pronunciation' is not for absolute beginners. ''It is a book for those who already have at least a basic knowledge of how French is pronounced but who need help and advice with a view to improving their pronunciation, to making it more authentic, to eliminating serious errors, and to reducing to an acceptable minimum features of their pronunciation that would betray them as non-native-speakers'' (p. 1). This book which has some textbook qualities is more of a pedagogic grammar aiming to help English speakers to know what to listen for in their spoken French, as well as in the French of others, in order to improve. It is a general yet systematic analysis of the phonetic structure of French in a contrastive framework (comparing English and French).

Title: Song for Practicing Prepositions
Body: Here's a song that's sung to the tune of "London Bridge is falling down". You do hand gestures while you sing it, too: Sur, sous, dans, devant, derriere A droite a gauche, A droite a gauche Sur, sous, dans, devant, derriere A cote de You do all of the hand gestures by making a little "cup" with one hand and putting the other "sur, sous..." etc in the "cup". The "a cote de" is done by sort of slapping your arms to your sides. Lindsay, D. Re: Prepositions of location. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (2 Dec. 2005).
