The FSI French Phonology course is worth its weight in gold. It is not an easy course to complete. However, completing it gives you a sense of accomplishment. :-)

Does it make distinction between closed 'e', open 'e' and rounded 'e'? I read a while ago that it doesn't.

A lot of French speakers, especially younger people, write or speak like this in informal situations. I would say it's kind of like 1337 in English, not really serious. This isn't hard to understand, but sometimes it can get downright impossible to comprehend if they apply themselves. XD |

"write or speak like this"??? How do they "speak like this"?
I would say writing this way is a clear sign of under-education, and usually most people stop typing like this when getting past their teens...
As for Le Petit Prince "phonetic" transcription, it suffers things like "ay" which in French would not be pronounced "aille" but "eille"...

You need desperately to learn all the phonemes of the French language, the IPA transcription and the rules that govern the French spelling.
French Spelling Rules
Search for "Le Français par la «Méthode Nature - scribd". That's the whole scan of a course with more than 1,000 pages text of French text with IPA transcriptions underneath each line.

No, you don't. Learn from the sound, not transriptions. Transcription is never precise enough, you need to hear the sound.

My is point that I'm talking about creating a mental image of THE SOUNDS when I'm saying that it's necessary for him to learn all the French phonemes.

Knowing just the phonemes is not enough if you want to speak with a good accent. Phonemes are defined in such a way that you can distinguish all the words, but knowing the phonemes alone is not enough to recreate the original sound.
