Apprenons le FrancaisPurposeDiversity is the ingredient that makes the world the rich environment that it is. Inthis diverse society there is the meshing of cultures, customs and languages which creates a rich portrait that can only be created by God. Language is a tool that is used toshare ideas and communicate. Learning a different language is the process of equippingoneself with the key needed to unlock the door of communication with those who speakother languages.The technology available in the 21st century makes it easy to live a comfortable lifewithout learning a new language. Children find that it is a challenge because in their eyesthere seems to be no relevance to their daily lives. The Bible says, “Train up a child in theway that he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Teaching children adifferent language is teaching them to accept their differences. Whether we are red, yellow,black, or white we are all God’s children. Exposing children to a different language earlyin their lives will broaden their horizons and allow them to communicate with their brothersand sisters and share God’s world together. If we teach the children early to accept eachother and realize that although they may live in different places they still have the sameneeds and learn the same things.The role of educators is to equip students with all of the necessary tools needed tosurvive in this world. Learning to speak another language is difficult but not the lessonsin this unit. This unit provides an easy introduction to the French language. The purposeof this unit is to enable teachers who are not familiar with the French language to learnand to teach their students in a fun and engaging way. The activities provided are easyto accomplish. They make learning a new and different language interesting and fun.Have fun as you discover how to speak one of the most beautiful languages in the world.If there are challenges on the way, remember God tells us in his word “I can do all thingsthrough Christ who strengthens me.”Atlantic Union Conference Teacher Bulletinwww.teacherbulletin.org3

Apprenons le FrancaisPronunciation GuideJThe French “J” has a soft sound, like the sound in the middle ofthe English language word “leisure.” There are many French wordsthat have a “nasal” sound which we do not have in English.RThe French “R” should be rolled at the back of the throat, rather likethe sound you make when you gargle.HThe “H” is silent.UIn French the “U” is pronounced like the “ew” in the English work“dew”.Atlantic Union Conference Teacher Bulletinwww.teacherbulletin.org5

Apprenons le FrancaisNasal SoundsNasal sounds are produced by emitting breath through the nose and mouth at the sametime. Nasal sounds occur when you have vowel n or m. Be careful, because there isno nasal sound for vowel nm, mm, n/m another vowel.Nasal Combinationsan, en, am, emin, ain, im, aimienon, omun, umFrance, Henri, lampe, memberindustrie, pain, important, faimbienbon, bombelundi, parfumLiaison and ElisionLiaison and elision are two pronunciation techniques that make the French languagesound so beautiful. The final consonant of a word is usually not pronounced. Sometimes, however, we do pronounce this final consonant.les amisnous arrivonssept hommes(z)(z)(t)Liaison means to link one word with the word that follows it. We link the final consonantsound of the first word with the beginning vowel sound of the word that follows it to create a liaison.Elision on the other hand occurs when a vowel sound is dropped (usually e or i) at theend of one word if the next word begins with a vowel sound. The vowel that is droppeddoes not disappear. It is replaced by an apostrophe. The elision will most likely occurwith the final e of je, ne, de, que.Je-arriveIl ne-étudie pasLa classe de-histoireQue-est-ce queAtlantic Union Conference Teacher BulletinJ’arriveIl n’étudie pasLa classe d’histoireQu’es-ce quewww.teacherbulletin.org8

Apprenons le Francais*Note to the teacher:I.In French there are different greetings for different times of the day. Salut!is how you say hello to your friends. Salut, can mean “goodbye as well as“hello”. Bon jour is a more polite way to say hello or have a good day. InFrance, it is polite to add Monsieur, Madame or Mademoiselle when yougreet people you don’t know. You say Monsieur to men, Madame to womenand Mademoiselle to girls. There are two ways to say see you later: “Aurevoir!” or “À bientôt”. When you say, “Ça va?” you are not only greetingpeople but you are asking them how they are.II.There are two words for «they» in French: ils and elles. When you arespeaking about boys or men, you use ils. When you are talking about girlsor women, you use elles. If you are speaking about both boys and girlstogether, then you use the word ils.III.«Vous» is used when speaking to an adult or when talking to someone youdo not know.IV.When you see a linking mark between two words, it is important that yousound the last letter of the first word as though it were attached to the nextword: Example (Vous parlez anglais?)V.Pardon can be used to apologize or asked to be excused. It can also beused when you want something repeated (pardon?).Atlantic Union Conference Teacher Bulletinwww.teacherbulletin.org20
