Purpose
Diversity is the ingredient that makes the world the rich environment that it is. In
this 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 to
share ideas and communicate. Learning a different language is the process of equipping
oneself with the key needed to unlock the door of communication with those who speak
other languages.
The technology available in the 21st century makes it easy to live a comfortable life
without learning a new language. Children find that it is a challenge because in their eyes
there seems to be no relevance to their daily lives. The Bible says, Train up a child in the
way that he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Teaching children a
different language is teaching them to accept their differences. Whether we are red, yellow,
black, or white we are all Gods children. Exposing children to a different language early
in their lives will broaden their horizons and allow them to communicate with their brothers
and sisters and share Gods world together. If we teach the children early to accept each
other and realize that although they may live in different places they still have the same
needs and learn the same things.
The role of educators is to equip students with all of the necessary tools needed to
survive in this world. Learning to speak another language is difficult but not the lessons
in this unit. This unit provides an easy introduction to the French language. The purpose
of this unit is to enable teachers who are not familiar with the French language to learn
and to teach their students in a fun and engaging way. The activities provided are easy
to 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 things
through Christ who strengthens me.

Pronunciation Guide

The French J has a soft sound, like the sound in the middle of
the English language word leisure. There are many French words
that have a nasal sound which we do not have in English.

The French R should be rolled at the back of the throat, rather like
the sound you make when you gargle.

The H is silent.

In French the U is pronounced like the ew in the English work

dew.

Nasal Sounds
Nasal sounds are produced by emitting breath through the nose and mouth at the same
time. Nasal sounds occur when you have vowel + n or m. Be careful, because there is
no nasal sound for vowel + nm, + mm, + n/m + another vowel.
Nasal Combinations
an, en, am, em
in, ain, im, aim

on, om
un, um

industrie, pain, important, faim

bon, bombe
lundi, parfum

Liaison and Elision

Liaison and elision are two pronunciation techniques that make the French language
sound so beautiful. The final consonant of a word is usually not pronounced. Sometimes, however, we do pronounce this final consonant.
les^amis
nous^arrivons
sept^hommes

(z)
(z)
(t)

Liaison means to link one word with the word that follows it. We link the final consonant
sound 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 the
end of one word if the next word begins with a vowel sound. The vowel that is dropped
does not disappear. It is replaced by an apostrophe. The elision will most likely occur
with the final e of je, ne, de, que.

*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. In
France, it is polite to add Monsieur, Madame or Mademoiselle when you
greet people you dont know. You say Monsieur to men, Madame to women
and Mademoiselle to girls. There are two ways to say see you later: Au
revoir! or bientt. When you say, a va? you are not only greeting
people but you are asking them how they are.

II.

There are two words for they in French: ils and elles. When you are
speaking about boys or men, you use ils. When you are talking about girls
or women, you use elles. If you are speaking about both boys and girls
together, then you use the word ils.

III.

Vous is used when speaking to an adult or when talking to someone you

do not know.

IV.

When you see a linking mark between two words, it is important that you
sound the last letter of the first word as though it were attached to the next
word: Example (Vous parlez anglais?)

V.

Pardon can be used to apologize or asked to be excused. It can also be

used when you want something repeated (pardon?).

Activities to do with greetings

Ask the children to repeat after you when you say the
different French greetings.
Use the sample conversation page to have a conversation with your students, then encourage them to
have conversations with one another. Ask them to go
home and greet their parents in French.
The children can take turns using the dolls/puppets to
have a conversation.
The students should cut out the vocabulary cards and
match the French number with the English number.
The children can draw a picture where two or more
individuals are having a conversation.
Practice writing the greetings by copying them in their
notebooks.
Find the greetings in the word search puzzle.
