Homework from yesterday, if you were gone:

1. Pick a French speaking country (page 8 in textbook)
2. Draw (or print) the flag on one side of the paper
3. Search the Internet to find a famous person from that country.
Consider people from the following categories:
Actor
Writer
Singer
Dancer
Soccer Player
Sports player
Scientists
Artists
Poets
Other
4.Write or type all of the following sentences for that person (Use "je")
Hello (page 15)
Bonjour bo(n) zhoor (don't pronounce the "n" as strongly as in "bone" but do a little--nasal)
My name is (15)
Je m'appelle Zinedine Zidane    (See biographical info: Zinedine Zidane)
zhuh mah pell
I am American (or other nationality) (19)
Je suis français et algerien.
zhuh sweez ah mare ee ken
I am from Salem (19)
Je suis de Marseille
zhuh swee de Sahlem
I am 14 years old (page 37)
J'ai quarante-trois ans
Zh'ay cat oars on PLEASE don't pronounce the "s" for "ans"
I like + something(s) you like (J'aime=I like). Foods are on page 45. 
Or choose other things in the text's dictionary! (blue pages at the back of the book)
FOR FAMOUS PERSON, CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE THAT HE OR SHE LIKES.
Examples include lacrosse stick, acting, guitar, etc.
J'aime le foot et ma famille.
zhem la peetzuh ay le steak
The word "and" is "et"
I like to + verb  Things people do are on page 117
For this assignment you may choose verbs that are not on the list or even in the book since there are so many important things that people do that aren't in the French 1 book! (The president directs the country, for example, and artists paint, soccer players score goals, etc.)
J'aime frapper les personnes que je n'aime pas! (Headbutt during 2006 World Cup)
zhem dahn say ay zhem parl ay frahn say
5. Practice your pronunciation! You will be presenting on Monday
Even though many teachers hate Google Translate, it is good for getting a basic accent. 
To hear the accent, simply type in French and then hit the speaker icon. I believe that the maximum number of characters that Google Translate will speak is 100.
The accent on Quizlet is even better. To hear it, you will need to make flash cards and set the language for French. You can probably figure out how to do it (create an account, etc.)


How to find a French speaking penpal on Instagram:
Go to page 9 in the textbook and look at French names. 
In Instagram, search for those names and eventually you will find someone!
