Animals video challenge for your kids

Do you have pets?

Kids all love pets! You can learn to talk about pets in French in this previous blog article: Pets in French

Make a video with your animals (pets, farm animals...)

I regularly invite my English-speaking students to participate in video challenges so that they practice French and help French-speaking kids learn English.

You can say:

"Hello, my name is...

This is my cat / dog / bird... (+ name)

These are my hens."

In French:

"Bonjour, je m'appelle...

Voici mon chat / chien / oiseau... (+ its name).

Ce sont mes poules."

 

Example :

Hello, my name is Margot

This is my cat Youyou.

And these are my hens.

Bye!

Bonjour, c'est Margot.

Voici mon chat Youyou.

Et voici mes poules.

Salut !

Learn French with Music: Sous le Ciel de Paris, Edith Piaf

Sous le ciel de Paris This week, in our French class for adults , we will study this emblematic song, by Edith Piaf.  Learning a new language also means traveling to the heart of a new culture. This song will transport you to an idyllic Paris. The French language is renowned for its complexity. But we can make learning it exciting by exploring vocabulary and grammar through popular songs. During our French class, we have studied the verbs "être" (to be) and "avoir" (to have) in French . So, I have asked my students to locate these verbs in the lyrics of the song.To help them, I had previously bolded and colored all the verbs in red. We have also studied the definite and indefinite articles in French. They are essential to build sentences: Definite articles: le, la, les (the) Indefinite articles: un, une, des (a /an, some) Song lyrics Sous le ciel de Paris S' envole une chanson Hum, hum Elle est née d'aujourd'hui Dans le cœur d' un garçon Sous ...
