As expected, I could not recognize half of the consonant sounds that I learned yesterday. It’s difficult for me to learn these sounds as this is totally a new world. Luckily, the Unit 5 of the radio archive gave me some comfort as it went through the things in Unit 4 again. This time, it focuses on nasal vowels (voyelles nasals).

The associated phonics words in the example column is useful to provide memory assistance to both the vowels and words. The vowel in the third row, , has another example – bonbon. It’s a French word borrowed by the English. It reminds me of a very funny movie Night at the Museum, which the Moai statue always says something like ‘Hello dum dum! I want bonbon!’

Today’s song: J’ai du bon tabac (I have good tobacco), starts from archive 19: 50
