July 14, Bastille Day

Happy Bastille Day!    
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!

 Similar to the high drama of the new movie Les Misérables, the uprising of July 14, 1789 turned France upside down and led to it's future state focused on Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!

Here's a short video  discussing Bastille Day.

So, I just discovered an absolutely amazing site: Duolingo.com YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!
The site is free and rivals Rosetta Stone.
And the story behind it is fascinating: Some guys realized they could translate Wikipedia (all of it!) into foreign languages if they had people translate real documents in the Duolingo program. It's an intriguing concept because it means that you will be helping translate
Wikipedia into French as you play the games on the Duolingo site, when you reach the high levels.

BIG HOMEWORK WEEKEND (sorry, but we have to take the unit examTuesday so that we can finish unit 6 by the end of the year)

To prepare for your Unit 5 exam on Tuesday, I'd like you to spend some time on the Internet reviewing flashcards made Valette and Valette.  They are found at the following site:
classzone.com

You will also want to spend considerable time reviewing the grammar concepts in the unit.  You'll be in trouble if you don't know the gender of words, so you should spend some extra time reviewing flashcards from the first four units as well.

Today we will translate the following into English.  Your homework assignment is to FINISH these translations.  10 points Monday at the first of the period.

NOTE:  Those of you who don't do your homework until class starts will not get your points.  These points are for people who do it at home, like Rubi, Molly, Eric, Macie, Jose M, Gina, and, uh, I'm having a hard time thinking of very many others. Be one of the others this time.

Translate into English:
Est-ce que vous allez là-bas?
Oui.  Je vais avec Jean-Paul. 
Vraiment?  Où est-il?
Lui, il vient du café et après ça, nous allons au cinéma.

And this one into French:
Hey!  I like your sports car.
Thank you.  But I prefer Marc and Jeanne's car.  My car is too small.
Yes, all their cars are cool.   
You like sports cars, but you don't like sports, do you?
No, I don't play soccer or tennis.  My sister and I , we play piano.

Workbook exercises today.  I'll grade them Monday
You all did much better on the lesson 10 quiz!  (Surprise, surprise)
Study your guts out until next Friday when we will have our Unit 4 Exam (big test)

le douze mars

Homework: Write out exercise 8 on page 168.

A parler franchement, l'examen est un desastre.
To speak frankly (honestly), the test is/was a disaster.

You will all retake it Wednesday and scores need to come up dramatically.  As it is, we had one A-, two B's, a couple of C's, and all of the rest were D's and F's.  I will count the new score.
In a word, STUDY
Copy the following notes:
Listening Section

les is pronounced "lay" and le is pronounced luh.  la is pronounced "lah"
To say the students you need to put an "s" on the end of the word for student, just like you do in English. 
Elèves.  Do the same for brothers (frères).      Très.  Hint: if you say "ay" it's é.  "e accent aigue." "eh" is è "e accent grave"   
 ê="e accent circonflexe"  ç = cedille
à  â ï  "i trema"
les élèves=The students  Les élèves     l'élève (1)
 The for plural nouns is les.  The computers = Les ordinateurs
I obviously didn't teach this well enough.  The friends = Les copains
Je préfère
L'ordinateur.  If word starts with vowel, drop the "e" from "le" and make it l'    
J'ai I have. (not "I") If word starts with vowel, drop the "e" from "je"
Je=I (not I have)
Je parle = I speak. Il parle. Thomas et Olivier parlent.  Nous parlons
You absolutely must know verb endings.  See page 98 and memorize it (S.V.P.)
J'aime parler = I like to speak = infinitive.  If you say "to speak," keep the "er"
J'aime parler  2 verbs.  1. aimer 2. parler.  Just like in English, you conjugate the first verb and keep the second in the infinitive.
He likes to play tennis
Il aime(or préfère) jouer le tennis
*Je préfère le tennis = I prefer tennis.  
*What do you do on Saturdays?  Le samedi je _____________.  If it's a repeated (habitual) action done on one day every week, say le samedi.
(all days of the week are masculine, by the way)
Tricky because the book says that "à samedi" means "see you Saturday" (until Saturday)
Masculine (le) and feminine (la)
If a word ends with a consonant, it is almost always masculine.  Le.  Le lit.  Le crayon.
If a word ends in an "e", it is usually feminine.  La.  La guitare.
Le and la mean "the."  Un means "a" for masculine words.  Une means "a" for feminine words.
Une guitare.          Un crayon
*In a negative sentence, you don't use the words "un" "une" or "des" (some).  You just say "de" which means any.  I have some books=J'ai des livres.  I don't have any books = Je n'ai pas de livres.
Watch out for words that start with a vowel, though.  Catherine n'a pas d'appareil-photo
Ma voisine a une auto is pronounced mah vwah zee nah oo now toe

No, I don't have a computer. (page 156) It is my sister's computer. 
Non, je n'ai pas d'ordinateur.  C'est l'ordinateur de ma soeur
(show possession by saying "de ma soeur")
Ok.  
J'ai un ordinateur
Je n'ai pas d'ordinateur
("any".  In other words, sentences in the negative always require "de" even though the affirmative might be "un" or "une," or "des"

Incomplete homework (10 pts.).  Quite a few of you need to still find a song on YouTube and post it on the class Google Doc.  The following people have done it.  All the rest of you will need to do it tonight.  I'm extending the deadline for the second part (rank favorites) to Sunday night at 11:55

Interview.
Today we will use iPads to film interviews of one another.  Yay!  This will be fun!
Write out the dialog with answers using your handout.  You don't have to do it in this order.  It would be kind of funny to have an entire conversation with someone and not find out their name until the end!
20 points.  10 both interviews complete, 5 grammar and pronunciation, 5 craftsmanship

Comment t’appelles-tu ?       Quel âge as-tu?

As-tu un frère ou une sœur ?     Il/ Elle s’appelle comment ?     Il/ Elle a quel âge?

Il/ Elle est comment ? (what's he like?)       (see page 165)

Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire ?

Qu’est-ce que tu n’aimes pas faire ?

Qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans ta chambre?  "Il y a . . ."  (consider using sur, devant, etc.)

Add something of your own.  Get creative with 

Here are some fun words and phrases:

Salut (hi)

Dis-donc (tell me now)     Tiens! (hey!)       Zut!

Euh . . . (uh)             Alors . . . (so . . .) 

Vraiment? (really?)     Oh, là là!

Now, repeat, switching places. 

So, write two dialogs.

Now you will interview each other and film it.  You can do it two ways:

The interviewer films the interviewee; someone films you both

Have fun with this!  Film it in a cool location--at a locker, going down the stairs, next to a cool background; do some acting and use props.  

Finish by the end of the day and save on the iPad and, if you can, upload it to YouTube

Short quiz (5 pts.) tomorrow at the very first of the period.  Don't be late.

Le français est poetique.
Très poetique, romantique.
Voila un example pour toi, mon amour
Un carte de voeux pour cet jour:

I think of something you should know.
It's a disgusting dog, a very ugly dog,
And that, my love, is a poem for eternity!

February 8, 2013

And so we embark upon a second semester of French, learning a new language that will enable us to speak of new things.  I've always liked to think of learning a second language in terms of learning a secret language, almost a code of sorts that enables us to talk about things that most people simply don't understand. 

One of the reasons that a new language does this is that a different languages have their own unique ways of expresing things, so the experience of speaking and hearing that language is simply different.  For example, French is typically thought to be a beautiful sounding language, even the language of love.   Many English speakers enjoy saying "Je t'aime" because it sounds more intimate than "I love you."  The words flow off the tongue in a lyrical, melodious way.  In French I can even insult a non-French speaker and he or she will think I'm saying romantic things: "En regardant ton visage, je me rappelle d'un chien très laid."  Or perhaps, "Il faut que j'aille au toilettes, s'il vous plaît."

Along these lines (the true romance of the language, that is), let's head into the Valentine's Day season by listening to a great song that Sam introduced me to.  Here it is:

Comme des Enfants  by Coeur de Pirate

Class today:
Interview one another and introduce your partner (en français, bien sûr!)
Generate ideas for fun French Valentine's Day cards
Listen to Comme des Enfants
Homework:  1) Text: xc .6; 143.7; 145.9; 146.13

FINAL EXAM Preparation

The final exam is fairly difficult.  It's mandatory ("facultatif") that you know how to translate the following sentences backwards and forwards.  Work in groups of four to translate them.  Refer to pages 116 and 117 for help.  Pay particular attention to the following which you MUST know for the final:

Verb endings for "-er" verbs we've studied.  See pages 94 and 96
Negation      je + ne + parle + pas   See page 98
"I no speak no French"
Two verbs, such as I like (verb 1) to eat (verb 2) French fries
                              j'aime            manger     les frites
Notice that if we have the word "to" in front of the verb in English, we leave the "r" at the end of the verb in French.

Be sure that you understand why the following English sentences are written the way they are in French.                            
I want to dance but my friend Jean doesn't dance very well.
Je veux danser, mais mon ami Jean ne danse pas très bien.

Too bad!  You should/must/have to be my friend.  I dance a lot.
Domage!  Tu dois (devrais, actually) être mon amie.  Je danse beaucoup (or souvent)

Where, with whom, and when you dance?
Où,  avec  qui, et quand est-ce que tu danses?
