The French Langwige

The aun oI this cowse is to introduce French as it is spoken in Franre and French-speaUng countries. Even if you are a complete beginner, you are probably already familiar with a good range of French words such as bonjour, au revoir:, baguette, croissant and expressions such as <'est la vie, arte blanche, d~jl vu, or je ne Pis quo i. Mor\!OVt'I'., a$

French and English share a common source in Lalin, many words are similar in both languages.

Despite the efforts ol lhe AcaMmie F~. an association ol scholars and writers founded by Richelieu in the sa-enteenth century with the aun of preserving lhe purity of the French language, French has borrowed many English w·ords 011er- the years. Le sandwich, le tee--<Shirt, le week~nd, and, more rttentl}~ le web and on-line are but a few examples. Beware! The meanings of some of these words ha~-e evolved in mysterious ways.. Un pnking is a car part and un smoking is a tuxedo ...

As French (like ltatian. Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian) !belongs to the Romance group of European languages that are derived from Lalin. noWlS are either masculine or feuwune, and articles and adjecthes ha~-e to agree with lhe nouns they acromi-tY· French has a greah!r range of tenses and more variation in ,·erbs parts than f.nglish. French

Ill also has two ways of addressing

people (tu being the infonnal and vous the formal 'you' foc:m), whicft affects pronouns. possessi\'es, and \'eID fonns.

Like f.nglish, French is not a phonetic language: a sing:1e sound can be represented by a variety of different spellings and a singl.e letter can correspond to a ~·ariety or different pronunciations.

Leaming to communicate in another language may be challenging. but it is also a very rewarding and enriching experience. Most French speakers you will come across will! be impressed by )'our a ttempts and very encouraging. We have made this course as varied and enrertaining as possible, and we hope you enjoy il

Prommciation

To achleve good pronunciation, there is no substitute for listening carefully to lhe recording and, if possible, to French native speakers. and trying to reproduce the sounds you hear. Here are a few guidelines for you to keep in mind when doing so. You will find this section most useful if you listen lo the Pronuncia lion section on the recording as you read it.

The vowel sounds are represented by a ~-ariety oI written forms.

It also helps ii you can learn with someone ellse. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will give you an extra impetus to keep worlcing. Agree limes to meet and goals for the week. and test e<1ch other regul!arly.

LEARNING FRENCH 3

When le.aming a language, it's important to usie a variety of strategies (using the book, listening to the reconiing, rehearsing dialogues, learning ~·ocabulary, writing things d:ow:n, listing vm forms, etc., aloud, and 50 on), to practise the different skills of listening. speal<ing. reading. and writing. \\'o?k out your preferred. kaming style a:nd use it to your advantage without neglecting any particular skill.

The first stage is for you to work out what kind. of leames- you are. The following questions will help you. Do I &earn something better when I see it written down? Do I only need to !he-ar something a few limes before I know it? Do I like to team gra.mmar rules by heart? Are there o4hl'T strategies that work well for me? lf you recognizie your strengths, you can use them to work more effecm·ely.

0 tallc about travel anangements

0 ask about train timetables

0 book and buy tra~'e.I tickets

0 all a garage and explain what's wrong with your car

And CO~'t'r the following grammar and language:

0 the pronoun y ('there') to show location

0 the present tense o( devoir (1o have to')

0 the relative subject pronoun qui ('who', 'whkh', ' that')

0 adveJbs ending in-ment

LEARNING FRENCH a

When )'OU are speaking a foreign language, it is impossible to translate everything word for word &om one language to another. This unit rontains many examples illustralillg this point. For instance, although the French for 'to fly' is voltt, 1'm Hying to Paris' is je vw a Paris en avion.. To help you progttSS more easily and start sounding French more quiddy, it is a good idea to learn short phrases by heart and use them whenever possible. With experience. you will be able to adapt them and reuse them in slightly different rontexts.

I VOCABULARY

chercher ~ s'es:t bien passe se promener a ve1o tomber (se)1 casser rester l'h6pital (m)1 retoumer le .pla.tre

to collect. to pid:: up it went well to go for a bicycle ride to fall to break to stay hospital to go back ,plaster, Band-Aid

I LA NGUA GE BU I LO INIG

0 t.e passe compose with etre Some verbs form the passe compose wi1h etre rather than avoir. The main ones are:

alter a11e Je suis a~ au cinema. I went to the cinema. arri...er arrive Je suis anivee en retMd. I arrived late. desci!fldre desc.endu Tu es descend'u du train. You got off the train. entrer entre Tu es entree. You went in. mont~ monte Elle est montee dans le bus.. She got on the bus;. mourir mort II ·est mort en 1953. He died in 1953. naitre oe ll ·est ne en 1sn. He was born in isn. partir parti On est par1is a midi. We left at 12 o'dodc. rester reste Nous sommes restes une heure. We stayed an oour. sa.tir sorti Vou.s etes sortis. You went out. tom hew tombe Elles S011t tombees. They fell venir ve11u lrs soot ve11us en train. They came ~ train.

This a<lso applies to all compound vl!f'bs, which are formed by adding a prefix to the original verb, for example ~nir ('to become1 • .centrer ("to go b<Kk'), inluvenir ('to inte«vene').

Refle>Ne verbs also form the p<me compose with etre:

Qu'est<e q.ui s'est passe? Vlhat happened? Je me Siiis leW(e) de bonne hewe. I got up earty.

0 Agreements When the passe compose is formed with etre.. the past participle agrees with the sulJiect- an e is added when it's femininie andfor an s ....t>en it's P'ural. These agreements are gen~ally not heard in spoten French.

Mes parents sont partii ce matin. My parents left this morning. Mes sceurs sont res~ deux jours. My sisters stayed tor two days.. N'alhalle n'est pas aniv~ hier. Nathalie didn't arrive yesterday.

There is one exc~tion. H a reflexive verb is followed by a direct object. the past participle does not agree with the subj!ect:

Anne s'est casse r.e !bras. Anne brole her ann.

j lANGUAGE BU ILDING

0 depuis + present tense Unlike English, which uses the past tense to express how long something has been goong Of1. the French uses the present tense folowed by de:puis, which can mean ert~ ' fo<" 0< 'since' depending on the context:

Je joue aux ectiecs depuis deux ans. I h;rve been playing chess for two yean. llit~l/y I pAay ~ since two yean.J Mon ~e collectionne les timbres depuis I'~ de douze ans. My fathtt has been collecting sta~ since the age of twelve.

0 jouer atjouer de ~ is usually followed by a I' /au/a la/aux, unless it is used with a music.al instrument. In that case. tt is followed by de r /dulde la/des..

Je joue aux cattM et tu ;oues de la guitare. I play cards and )'OU play the guitar. d joue au tennis et elle joue du piano. ~plays tennis and she plays the piano.

0 Expressing frequency The following is a rosa of common adverbs used to express frequency:

so...vent tovjours quelquefois (ne ... I jamais

often always sometWnes newr

une fois par jour dewc foiis par semaine trois fois pa;r mois quatre fois par an de temps en temps

once a day twice a week tlvee times a month four times a year from time to time

I LANG U AGE BUILDING

0 The imperfect lhe i~e<t tense has two main uses.

I tt can be used to describe some1hing which used to happen frequently oc regularty in the past

J'a11ais a l'ecole a piedL I wa1k.edl1 used to walk to school.

2 It can be used to describe what was happening or what the situation was when something efse happened:

Je dormais ·quand eDe est arrivee.. I was a~p when she arrived" Efle avait sept ans quand ii est ne. She was seven ...men he was born.

To form the imperfect tense,. take 1he nous part of the present tense (e ,g. regarder. noos regardonst remove the -ons and add the endings below:

je regardm nous regard.i2m tu regardm \IOI.IS regardill illleflelon regard.ii.I ilslelles reg~

There is onty one exception. To make the imperfect oi etre, 'to be' , you need to add the endings above to the irregular stem e1':
