Helped me with the pronunciation

I am learning French for when I go on holiday there. The Duolingo french podcast has really helped me with the pronunciation which I used to really struggle with. I have gotten so good I have suddenly become my family’s translator!
I would definitely recommend for anybody wanting to have a better understanding for french.
