lundi 23 mars

We started with chain questions and had a look at an American video on gender and articles. It is a bit weird but think it is a good explanation. 
It mentions some clues to gender eg 
Nouns that end in  -ette -ée -tion -ie ière -ance -ence -ure are feminine.
Nouns that end in -eau and most consonants are usually masculine.
This is far from foolproof! Best just to learn the article with the noun.
We had fun with food rhymes and made up a little ditty in French in groups. I didn't note down what you had written. Post your song in comments!
Additional food vocab: miam miam = yum yum and berk or beurk = yuck
We did some more work on nasal vowels. 
For the last half hour we discussed the use of blogs. Notes for this on mlpscpd.blogspot.com
