Introduction
Ozfoni Tm Off In Fmich is designed to help the beg.inner
sli:ills by suggesting things to concentrate on and listen out for. You'll be given the opportunity to repeat some of the key sentences and phrases from the dialogue before you hear it a second lime. You may need lo
develop the basic language skills necessary IO communicate in French in most e\·eryday situations.. lt is intended for learners working by themsel\'es, providing all the infoomalion and support necessary for slK'Cl!SSful language learning,
How lo use the course ~book and the rerorcling are dose.ly integrated, as the emphasis is on speaking and listerung. The recording ron t.ains step-by-step insttuctions on how to work through the Wlils. The presenter will tell you when lo use the rero:rding on its own, when to use the book, and when and how to use the two IOgdhet:. The book provides support in the .form of lranscriptions of the reconiing material. translations of new vocabulary, and grammar explanations. You1J find this ioon @ in the book when you need to ~ to the reronfing. I (recwding/book) Read the unit objectives on the fust p~ telling )'OU what you will learn in the unit, and lflen begin by listening to the dialogue on the recording. You may not understand everything the first lime you hear it, but try to resjst lhe temptation to l:uo.'k at the transcript in Ifie book. The first acti,rity on the recording will iv help you de'\-elop your listening
n:fur tu the vucabulary list
(book) before completing the second acti\•ity (book). Listen to the dialogue as many times as you like, but as far as possa."ble try not to mer IO the dialogue transcript {book). 2 (book) Once you have listened to all the new language, take some lime to work through the
tra.nscrip!, Voabulary, Language Building, and actirilies in the book to help you widerstand how it works.
3 (reconiing) Then it's time to practise speaking; first Pronunciation practice and then the ¥our tum. activity. You will be gh·en all the instructions and cues you need by the presenter on the recording. The first !ew times you do this you may need to refe.r bade IO the vocabulary and 1.anguage building sedli.ons in the book, but aim to do it without the book after that. .J
(book) The fourth learning section. Dossier. concentrates on reading practice. Tty reading it first without memng to the vocabulary list to see row much you can aln>ady understand,
making guesses about any words or phrases you are not sure of. The activities which acoom.pany the text will help you develop reading comprehension skills.
5 (recording/book) For the final !earning section, relum to the recording to listen to the Story. This section gives >'OU the opportunity to have some fun with the language dJld ht!ar the characters in the story use Ifie language you ha\re just lieamt in different situations.. The aim is to give you the confidence to cope with authentic French. 1here are activities in the book to help you.
6 {book) Return IO the book, and wodc. through the activities in the Test section to see how well you can remember and use the language you ha·•e covered in the will. This is best done as a ·written exercise. Add u;p the final score and, if it is not as high as }'OU had hoped, try going back and reviewing some of the sections. 7 (reoording/book) As a final review, tum lo the Summary on the last page oJ the unit. This will test yow understanding of the new situations, vocabulary, and grammar introduced in the Wlil. Use the book to prepare your answers, either by writing them down or speaking aloud, then return ro lhe recording to test yourself. You. will be given prompts .in English on. the rerording, so you can do this test \'o•ithout the book.
8 (book) At the very end of each unit you will find some suggestions for revision and ideas for furthtt practice.
Earll unit builds on the work ol the preceding units. so it's very importmt to learn the vocabulary and structures from each unil before you move on. TI!ere are re\

Some activities require you to give information about yourself, so you may also need to check soone \•ocabulary in a dictionary. At the md of the book you11 find a compreherui\·e French-English Vocabulary.
v
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--
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 w ill 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

LEARNING FRENCH 1
Make the most of the time you ha'•e available to study. You need to set time aside l:o go through the material in lhe book and the recon:ling. but you can make use of other
oppo:rtun:ities -perhaps when you are ba~lling to work or doing household chores - to do less demanding but nonetheless essential exercises. You coulll, for e>eample, do some pronunciation practice, memorize \•ocabulaiy and structures, or listen again to some of lhe reoorded material. Practise speaking French as often as you can - even speaking to yoursel:f is good practice. II you can, reoord yourself regular.Cy - you can le-am a lot from playing it bad.

As you heard in Dialogue 1, when it's a question. the voice goes up at lhe end; fa< a statement it goes down. c;a va? How are you? c;a va. Fine.

Regular -er verbs Regular French verbs Ne classified in three groups. You can wodc out whid\ group a verb belongs to by the ending of the infinitNe: -«, -ir, or oft. Most Yetb tenses are formed by adding speafic encfmgs to the infinitive minus its -«, -ir, or oft ending: this is known as the stem. - vertH, such as travaillH ("to wodc'), jouu ("to play'), regard« ("to watch'). jriparn ("to prepare'), or aimu ("to lolie'), take the following
ftldings in t he present tense:

BU ILDING
French only has one form ol the present tense. so je travaille can mean both 'I worlc"' and ·rm working'. 2 The tu form is only used to a dlild or sorMOne you lcnow well 3 The wus form is used to a person you don't know well or to a group of people - including children. When in cbi>t. use the vous form. 5 In evetyday COfM!f'Sation, on is very olten used instead of nous. meaning "we'. Note that it takes the il/elle form of the verb: on ~· la tHevision ('we watch television'). A CTIVITY 3

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.

LEARNING FRENCH 9
When learning a language, it is important to pr.ictise the
language so that you use what you have learnt in as many differenl rontex1s as possible. Opportunities for doing this have been provided throughout the course, but you can do more )'ourself to suit your own needs and interests. At the end of each unit, combine the structures you ha't·e just learnt with what you already know. For example, once you have learnt the perfect tense in this unit, )'OU can rombine it with the language ol Unit 7 and say what you've eaten in a restawant. or with the language of Unit 6 and say what you'~-e bought at the market.
