It is very helpful to have a list of specific french words or phases that will feature in the following text. However, it would be even more helpful if these words and phases were also spoken in advance so that one can tune into them when they arise in the piece.

For words, you can use a dictionary application like Word Reference which has the capability to speak the word. For phrases, I think you can find an online translator that can also pronounce. As you get better, you will be able to pronounce the word by looking at the spelling. Unlike English, French pronunciation is incredibly consistent. Once you know the sounds, you can just pronounce the word from the spelling. I hope this helps.
