Basic rules of pronunciation (esp. voice assimilation) and spelling are also provided. (ii) Method : - 45 hours of lectures divided into two parts : syntax (30 h.00) and the remaining 15 hours are devoted to morphology and spelling problems. - Systematic and personal study of the teaching material is coupled with interactive exercises on the web (http://www.gramlink.com)
