Willow Class: French Friday 12th June

Bonjour les enfants! Bienvenue vendredi!

We must not forget all our hard work from other lessons!

Can you remember how to introduce yourself?

If you are asked your name:

Comment tu t’appelle? (‘ko-mon) You would answer: Je m’appelle _______.

For example Je m’appelle Max. Je m’appelle Mia.

Have a practice asking and answering many times out loud! Pretend anyone in your house is new to you, introduce yourselves!

When is your birthday? Birthday is anniversaire in French.

My birthday = Mon anniversaire

If someone asks you when your birthday is, the question will be:

“Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?” (‘la date’ is pronounced ‘la dat’)

Your answer will be:

Mon anniversaire c’est le ______ _________. (Here you add the date and month.)

For example: Mon anniversaire c’est le cinq novembre. (My birthday is 5^th November)

Is it your birthday today?

Well, Happy Birthday! Here it is in French:

Joyeux anniversaire (‘jwa-yeu zah ni vehr sehr’)

As anniversaire starts with a vowel, we need to join the sounds of the two words. ('liason')

Here is a very helpful video with nothing more than a helpful song – of two words! Sing along!

Practise putting sentences together to say a bit about yourself:

Bonjour!

Je m'appelle ________.

J'ai _____ ans.

Mon anniversaire c'est le ___________.

You can do it!

Time to practise a little more of what you have been learning about. What do you think le visage means...?
