its alphabet is a bit like trying to build a brick house without touching the individual bricks! Also, once we start
recognizing symbols and words, we will be encouraged by our own progress and motivated to learn even faster.
Even just learning the basics of the alphabet will allow us to start recognizing simple French words, and it will
feel great! Furthermore, knowing the alphabet even helps with pronunciation, as learning the individual letters
of any language will start uncovering nuances and intricacies that are not always apparent when we’re simply
listening to the words. Completely mastering the French alphabet, no matter how long it takes, will give us an
excellent head start in learning how to write and read the language. It will offer us a solid foundation on which
to build the other language skills, so set a goal to learn the alphabet so well that we’re able to recite it in our
sleep!
