Author's Summary— In teaching French pronunciation, stress and intonation should be emphasized from the start. Sounds should be taught by ear, accompanied by physiological explanations, before the graphic equivalents are seen. An incubation period in which the student hears the language spoken in complete sentences will condition him to the new sounds, to stress and intonation and will build up a passive vocabulary.
