Le mot de la semaine/Word of the Week

Another goal we have in French class is to use the French language, not just learn about it.  We put to use what we learn!

Every Monday we have had a new "word of the week".  So far they have been:

1.  C'est une aventure.  (Sept. 4-6) My wish is that the learning of French will be an experience of adventure as opportunities come your way.

2.  C'est la communication.  (Sept. 9-13) This is our goal in French class!

3.  C'est des mots-amis.  (Sept. 16-20) Approximately 40% of words in French and English are very similar in spelling and in meaning, making it easier to learn French.  We call these words "mots-amis".

4.  C'est un faux-ami.  (Sept. 23-27) Attention!  Some words that look similar in French and English are quite different in meaning.

5.  Quel âge as-tu?  (Sept. 30-Oct. 4) We learned to ask and answer questions about age. Learning a rap tune to help us remember the phrases.

6.  Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?  (Oct. 7-18) This is another piece of information we like to ask our friends. 

7.  Est-ce que tu aimes...? (Oct. 21-24) The verb "aimer" will be used often as we ask our friends about their favorite sports and pastimes.

À bientôt!
