Leçon 1: The basics
Bonjour a tous and welcome to the first french lesson in November! *throws confetti*
Once again, I'm Shannon (you're new French Mod) and this is the thread where you can pick up new vocabulary here!
So the first french lesson will cover the basic vocabulary of How to greet someone, the numbers, nationalities, and colours.
The next French Lesson will consist with some review and then, we shall explore some verbs that are essential to know when beginning French (être, faire, avoir, etc.)
 Anyway, let's get started! |

Minister's Office | Vocabulaire <3 Slytherindor <3 | The Crazytastic Besties |I'm a Slytherclawdor | Feeling Fly Like A Ninja |
III. Pour communiquer
a) Introducing yourself & polite conversation for beginners a.k.a The Basics
Bonjour = Hello
Comment vous appelez-vous ? = (What are you called?) (formal)/ What is your name?
Quel est votre nom ? = How do you call yourself? (formal)/ What is your name?
Comment t'appelles-tu ? = What is your name? (informal)
Je m'appelle… = My name is
Je suis… = I am..
Moi, je suis… = Me, I am called…/I am…/I'm…
Enchanté= Nice to meet you/Enchanted.
A brief conversation taken from Wikapedia:
Two people are meeting for the first time.
b) Vocabulaire (La politesse et les titres)
i. La politesse
S'il tu plaît = Please- (Lit: If it pleases you.)
S'il vous plaît = Please (formal).
Merci (beaucoup) = Thanks (a lot)
De rein = You're welcome (Lit: It's nothing.)
Pas de quoi = Your welcome (No problem.)
Je t'en prie = Your welcome (Lit: I pray you) (informal)
Je vous en prie = Your welcome(formal)
Note: When saying thank you, I use De rien with my friends and Je vous en prie with people I don't know, teachers, coaches, and parents.
ii. Les titres
Monsieur (M.) /mə.sjø/ (muh-syuhew) Mr., Sir
Messieurs (M) /mesjø/ (maysyuhew) Gentlemen
Madame (Mme) /ma.dam/ (mah-dahm) Mrs., Ma'am
Mesdames (Mme) /me.dam/ (may-dahm) Ladies
Mademoiselle (Mlle) /mad.mwa.zɛl/ (mahd-mwah-zehl) Miss, Young lady
Mesdemoiselles (Mlle) /med.mwa.zɛl/ (mayd-mwah-zehl) Young ladies
I have crossed out mademoiselle because the French government does not want people to call young ladies mademoiselles because the women of France would rather be called Madame.
c) Vous et tu (Vous=Single & respect or plural. Tu= informal)
Vous is the plural form of you. This is somewhat equivalent to you all, you guys, all of you, except that it does not carry any familiarity when used with the plural. You would use it to address your friends as well as when talking to the whole government at a press conference.
Vous is also used to refer to single individuals to show respect, to be polite or to be neutral. It is used when talking to someone who is important, someone who is older than you are, or someone with whom you are unfamiliar. This is known as Vouvoiement.
Conversely, tu is the singular and informal form of vous (you) in French. It is commonly used when referring to a friend or a family member, and is also used between children or when addressing a child. If it is used when speaking to a stranger, it signals disrespect. This is known as Tutoiement. As a rule of thumb, use tu only when you would call that person by his first name, otherwise use vous. French people will make it known when they would like you to refer to them by tu. The use of vous is less common in Quebequois than in French from France. | |
