Audio files

I have started to upload old audio files to Podomatic. So far I've done the French sound system that I have mentioned before from my French Early Years Course, 2002. Listen here There is a six second pause before I get going!

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
