Avant dcouter A. Questions prliminaires:
1. List some French words and expressions that you already know.
Eg: soupe du jour
2. If you have studied French before, what are the main things
you remember from class?
B. Remarques: The following song is by a group from New Zealand
called Flight of the Conchords. The song is a parody on words and
expressions that students typically learn in introductory French
courses. As you listen, see how much of the song you are already
able to understand.
N.B. The members of this group are not native French speakers,
so their grammar and pronunciation are not always correct.
