Lundi Monday Il regarde la télé. He watches tv. Remember: ends in e, feminine. Trois jours Three days Deux jours Two days I was right, the ‘u’ in lundi is definitely an ‘uh’ sound. il regarde la télé chaque jour. He watches tv every day. Jus Juice en in (just like in spanish) banque Bank lundi Monday Days in French aren’t capitalized, unless at the beginning of of a sentence, of course.

Food 4 Cette pomme est bonne. This apple is good. Une banane A banana It occurs to me that the unaccented e sounds just like the a in Spanish. They achieve the same sound for feminine declension of articles. They both sound like ‘uh’! Des fruits fruits Looks like ‘fruit’ comes from French —only in French the ‘i’ is pronounced and the ‘t’ is silent (including the plural s when added). Le thé est très bon. The tea is very good. Très Very Have to remember that très means ‘very’ and not Spanish tres which means three. Elles préparent une pizza. They are making a pizza. Tu aimes les bananes? Do you like bananas? un fruit A fruit ‘Fruit’ in French almost sounds like ‘free’ or even a little like ‘fooey’. Elles préparent une pizza. They are preparing a pizza. J’aime les pommes. I like apples. Il mange une banane. He is eating a banana. Un fruit A fruit Bon good for masculine Bonne Good for feminine Prêt Ready Français ‘Fran - say’ French Food 5 Je cuisine des légumes. I am cooking vegetables. Turns out cuisine is a verb! Maybe cuisiner for infinitive? Yes! Infinitive is cuisiner! Tu cuisines un plat français? Are you cooking a French dish. un plat Dish Papier Paper Cuisine: Kitchen? Yes it’s also a noun that means kitchen. A feminine noun. Ces croissants sont bons. These croissants are good. Ces pommes sont bonnes. These apples are good. un légume A vegetable Funny’s how légume in French is vegetable but in English it means peanuts, beans, etc. I wonder why that is? Ces plats sont bons. These dishes are good. Tu cuisines? Do you cook? Ces pizzas sont bonnes. These pizzas are good. Je prépare des légumes. Œuf Egg The French pronunciation of œuf sounds like ova which is an English/Latin prefix that means egg. Pays Country Repas Meal Cuisine is pronounced almost exactly how it’s pronounced in English. Habits course for next time! |
