@yes_futur, may I join your class? where do I register?

I think the biggest problem would be knowing the proper pronunciation, I notice they sound very differently than the way they are spelled. Are there any guides on how to pronounce the words properly? Example, how do you pronounce "r" e.g. "merci", I notice the "r" doesn't sound like any english alphabet I know. Also those silent letters...
resistance is futile.

Well, explaining prononciation by writing will be a little bit tough...

I found on wiki something about the international phonetics, but it"s too hard to understand

Someone was asking for the letter "R": it's true, it's quite guttural, but less than in german. Prononciation is middle between the english "R" and the spanish "J".

other specific pronounciations are easier to explain:

"A" always like in english word map
"E" like the english word a in that sentence: it's a cow. Can be influenced by low (è) or high (é) accentuation.
"I" always like english world imagine
"U" forget that. Only french people can say u, so you english can continue to say you instead of u. We know what you mean
