In Review: First Week of French Language Learning

During our first week of language learning in France, we covered the following topics in class:

• Introductions
• French Alphabet
• Numbers
• Time
• Calendar
• Professions
• Daily Routines
• Clothing
• Prices

Outside of class, my husband I did the following activities to supplement:

• Recorded our teacher saying the list of vocabulary introduced in class each day
• Listened to those recordings and drew pictures, or pointed to pictures of the vocabulary as we heard it (my husband would skip to different places in the track while I pointed to pictures, and vice versa)
• Went to the open air market to do our shopping, where more language is required in order to purchase things 
• Watched French Info-mercials.  Info-mercials are great for language acquisition because the person selling the products uses words that correspond directly to the items and movements that you see as you watch.
• Started building a plan for our language learning outside of class
