Hello class! What an interesting and bumpy ride this 4th cycle has been. In this blog post, I want to share some resources with you to help you strengthen your French skills in general, and study for our Unit 4B quiz specifically. I said this in class, but being able to order at a cafe in French is a big, big help for when you do one day visit a French-speaking country. We always keep it real in class, that is, we learn practical language skills, but ordering at a cafe is perhaps the most practical of all. We all have to eat, so ordering at a cafe is both a necessity and pleasure. Cafes are of course named after the most central and important nonalcoholic beverage in French culture: coffee. French coffee is different than American coffee. In the video below by French language YouTuber "Easy French," you can learn about the different types of coffee you can order at a French cafe. Easy French has tons and tons of helpful and accessible videos for you to explore. It's an opportunity to hear native French speakers with subtitles in both French and English. A couple of students asked me about my favorite free resources for working on French, and YouTube is definitely the best. YouTube is a such a helpful resource for all kinds of learning: I learned how to knit, my husband learned how to replace parts in my car, and I've learned how to make an authentic birria from a Mexican chef (La Capital). French language learning is no different. Below is a lovely playlist of French songs on YouTube to listen to and pretend you're in Paris: My Favorite French YouTube Resources
The above video covers: 4 Things to Do Everyday to Speak French. Allow me to translate the 4 things:
