Her first few lessons focus on French vowels. It's not difficult for Mew to distinguish the sounds of "a", "e", "i", "o", "u" and "y". However, today we had a problem with "é" (accent aigu), "è" (accent grave), and "ê" (circonflex). I confused myself with these sounds as I thought "é" and "ê" seem to be similar in pronunciation whereas in accordance to the International Phonetic Alphabet, "è" and "ê" turn out to have the same symbol. I am seeking for the help from her teacher to clarify this issue.
The following resources of French ABCs could be of great help for your children during the beginner's stage:
