Bonjour! Je m'appelle EleanorRigby1. Je suis vous maîtresse.*

If you cannot tell, you are in French Lessons. Fantastique! I'm so happy if you decide to continue on learning.

You will learn French the way I did. I am teaching from my own knowledge and my college textbook. I am concentrating on writing activities in my lessons, but I do hope you will start speaking. While you are learning to write and speak French, you will also be exposed to different cultural aspects of the French and Francophone Countries all over the world.

I am currently in the process of finding the film, <>. And once I find it, I will post links to watch each episode.

Feel free to post now. Thank you very much.

*I only use maîtresse because this is beginning French. As the lessons go on, I will be addressed as the higher terms. (ex: ta institutrice; and I will use the more familiar ta.)

What should we know about you? I've studied Spanish for seven years, so I'll recognize some cognates from there.

I apologize, I am terrible with writing out how to pronounce. If anyone would like to offer a way, then please let me know. Until I have a written pronunciation, you can use this for learning how to say the numbers. The first two pages are for these numbers, after that it goes up to a billion.

0 - zéro
1 - un
2 - deux
3 - trois
4 - quatre
5 - cinq
6 - six
7 - sept
8 - huit
9 - neuf
10 - dix
11 - onze
12 - douze
13 - treize
14 - quatorze
15 - quinze
16 - seize
17 - dix-sept
18 - dix-huit
19 - dix-neuf
20 - vingt
21 - vingt et un
22 - vingt-deux
23 - vingt-trois
24 - vingt-quatre
25 - vingt-cinq
26 - vingt-six
27 - vingt-sept
28 - vingt-huit
29 - vingt-neuf
30 - trente
31 - trente et un
32 - trente-deux
33 - trente-trois

L'alphabet français (The French Alphabet)

The French Alphabet has 26 letters, just as English does. There are five certain accents to go over some letters, or under them.

Happily, my book has given me a good way to explain how to pronounce the letters. This is also where I will introduce each accent and a few other words involved in spelling. Again, if anyone has a better way to write the pronunciation, then please, let me know, I would be so happy to have your help.

Aa - a (ah)
Bb - bé (beh)
Cc - cé (seh)
Dd - dé (deh)
Ee - e (oo)
Ff - effe (effe)
Gg - gé (geh)
Hh - hache (ashe)
Ii - i (ee)
Jj - ji (jee)
Kk - ka (kah)
Ll - elle (elle)
Mm - emme (emme)
Nn - enne (enne)
Oo - o (oh)
Pp - pé (peh)
Qq - ku (ku)
Rr - erre (erre)
Ss - esse (esse)
Tt - té (teh)
Uu - u (u)
Vv - vé (veh)
Ww - double vé (doub-le veh)
Xx - iks (iks)
Yy - i grec (ee-grek)
Zz - zède (zed)

This is a great resource for learning to type out the accents.

á - accent aigu (ex: éléphant)
à - accent grave (ex: scène)
â - accent circonflexe (ex: dîner)
ç - cé cédille (ex: français)
ä - tréma (ex: Noël)

Words for spelling:
Majuscule - uppercase
Minuscule - lowercase
Apostrophe - apostrophe
Trait d'union - hyphen

Note on speaking: Remember for ending consonants, if it is a C, F, L, or R, then it is pronounced (besides certain exceptions). So always be CRFL with pronunciation. : D

I believe this is an adequate amount of posts reserved.

Unfortunately, I have to go for a little bit. Setting up my house for some festivities. I will return and set up the necessary information for you to learn French.

If you are interested, please post here or contact me and I will add you to my list of students.

Thank you and have a wonderful time.

Teacher's Notes: (Please Read!)

I've been a tad busy lately, so I haven't been able to do any more work here. If you all have any information you'd like to add, meaning easy words and such, or days of the week, then feel free. Also go ahead and make your own lessons if you wish.

Signed,
EleanorRigby1

Bonjour. Je m'appelle Kaitlyn. J'ai appris le français depuis 3 ans. J'ai pris le français 1 de la seconde année du lycée et le français 2 de la troixième année du lycée. Mais pendant la dernière année du lycée j'ai pris le français 4. J'ai appris la langue toute seule parce que les prof étaient très mauvais pour moi. Mais il ne faute pas des profs, c'est aussi moi. J'ai étudié beaucoup de français après l'été de la première année de français. Et puis j'ai étudié plus depuis la seconde année de français. J'ai arrêté mes études après avoir appris la langue parce que je sentais que je n'avais pas de besoin à le faire. Ils ne nous enseignent pas. Maintenant je ne prends pas de français et je ne pratique souvent. mais je suis prête du changer. Je suis enseinte et je voudrais enseigner le français à mon bébé. je crois que le français ne soit pas de difficile mais J'ai besoin de quelqu'un me corrige et expiquer moi la façon. Si je dois devenir un étudiant puis c'est bien.

Any experience is French? Very little. I studied it a bit when I was younger, but I had to stop and I now wish to pick it up again.
What should we know about you? I live in Japan, keep weird hours, and I am getting ready to kill myself with too many AP classes as soon as school starts back up. xd
