Can anyone help me learn the absolute basics french? I can take admission in one of those programs in the british council but I want to build a little base before that. I just want to get the basic phrases down before I dive in. Any help with this will be appreciated.

ending with "tion" as "syon" and you will do just fine!

I suggest you check the site that Kareena suggested. Also I would not go to the British council to study french. The French council would be better suited, no? Also French is a very hard language to learn and needs many many years of study.

Eventually I want to be fluent in it. But for now Im just looking to get the accent down and learn the basics.

To what extent are you going to use French? Is it for work or just to get along in it?

thanks, but I am really slow with languages. So I need to talk to a real person to really get it.

Just visit this site, register and then you will get free french lessons by email. I have another link at my laptop at home where you get emails plus an audio clipping for accurate French pronunciation. Will go home and paste that link later.. Cheers
