Alright real simple I'm looking for french written phonetically or atleast in a way where
I'm not reading silent ts, all this hogwash ch versus sh, and the list goes on. Why might you ask, because if it looks the way it does now I gonna keep using English pronounciations for french words. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ever heard of the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)?
Every good French dictionary or textbook should have it. Otherwise, it might be difficult to find what you're looking for. Edited by Josquin on 10 August 2012 at 12:21am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yeah ipa is preferred, but you have to do it one word at a time, I've found English alphabetic to ipa translators but obviously that won't work for french. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Le voilà :
Conversion du texte en sa transcription phonétique I tried a couple of different phrases, and it seems to give reasonably accurate answers. If French pronunciation is giving you headaches, try some listening-reading or some Assimil. This really helped me connect the spelling and the pronunciation, simply by the sheer repetition of seeing them together. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hold on people, take a look at this:
http://www.petit-prince.at/pp-franzoes-alt.htm There is even this sample taken from within the book: "...A ! peti prins, j'é qonpri, peu a peu, insi ta petite vi mélanqoliq. Tu n'avè u lontan pour distraqsion qe la douser dè qouché de solèy. J'é apri se détay nouvo, le qatrièm jour o matin, qan tu m'a di: J'èm byin lè qouché de solèy..." Would seem what the OP is looking for!! Do native French people know what that "alternative French" is all about?? Is it some sort of fringe movement that once existed or what? It really left me wondering. I saw this a while ago, I just didn't feel like making a thread on it, but since this one is up, seems appropriate. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It doesn't seem to handle some words correctly, for example: les yeux - lez- œj
For the OP: learn the pronunciation first, that will prevent you from remembering the word incorrectly. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Since it looks like a German speaking site - I would expect the french ou to be u or oo if it is an English speaking one under the AT Austrian Flag.
Trying to read this I am sounding very foreign. Listen and reading is the first choice classical solution - I think. You could try to listen to some french materials and write down what you hear in a way that fit you. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's obviously based on French, so ou remains ou.
