How to Teach Old Ears New Tricks

What about Tomatis method ? It also focuses on pronunciation first.

The goal of the TOMATIS Method is to give to anyone wishing to learn a foreign language the possibility of truly appropriating these rhythms and sounds by allowing the ear to adapt itself effectively to this foreign music, so that it may analyze and reproduce it. This requires that students free themselves from the usual rhythmic and sonorous habits of their native language, habits that often have a negative influence on learning a new language.

Hi Muriel,

I didn't read the web page you pointed out yet... thanks anyway.

I would like to insist on the importance of foreign sounds, especially for adults. I wrote several times here that the French couldn't hear English sounds properly so that they have the impression they can pronounce as they fancy it.
With training we'll find it difficult, without, we'll think it is a mess.

I remember the number of times I had to repeat "cap" without being understood by a group of British till I made a gesture...
I also remember being unable to understand foreigners asking their way in Paris and I needed a couple of seconds before realizing it was just a problem of pronunciation from them.

Hi Gérard !
yes A language is therefore first of all a kind of music, that is, an ensemble of specific rhythms and sounds. In chinese for instance i have started Michel Thomas's method. You just have to listen, that's all !
