Assignment/Devoir
This week you will record two conversations of you with a classmate or any French speaker. In the first one you are the one asking the questions, in the second one you answer the questions. Remember it must be a video and you must be in it and that copying from the videos or your notes and then reading aloud constitutes cheating.
a. Greet formally or informally
b. Ask the person who she/he is doing and answer appropriately
c. Ask the person's name
d. Ask about origin
e. Ask the interlocutor to spell the name of the place
f. Ask about the location of that ville/town/city etc.
g. State where you are going and ask the interlocutor where he/she is going
h. Say good-bye

Language Learning Experience:
So, this week I learned a variety of new words, phrases, and sentences. However, what I found the most interesting and fascinating was learning how to say different places in French. I learned that swimming pool in French is "la piscine," the beach is "la plage," the town is "la ville," and lastly the gym is "la sale de sport." I learned more words like countryside, the mountain, church, etc, but those 5 phrases stuck the most to me. I also learned how to say how are you in French which is "Ca va?" as well as ask where are you going in French. I would have to say the only thing I struggled with the most this week , especially while creating the video, was pronouncing the letter "u" in Houston, and the letter "e" in Texas. They sounded very similar and I had some difficulty distinguishing the sounds between the two letters. Overall, I feel like my pronunciation could use a little more work, but I am hoping that will improve over time. Looking forward to next week's learning.
Merci,
Priscilla Sambrano
Great. I found it interesting something important. You did handshaking which is something I have never seen two girls do. This can be done by a female and a male or two males in formal settings such as a job interview. I guess this is a clear example of L1 interference where you transfer what you usually do in your L1 to your L2 and you assume it is correct. However, this is completely not appropriate in French. Also in informal conversations, you can only use names. Last names are used in formal conversation. A lot to take for your reflection paper from this exercise. Très bien!

This week, I learned different phrases such as where are you going, what is your name, how do you spell it and many more. I also learned that "la plage" means the beach. I found this interesting because it sounds very closely to "la playa" which would be the beach in Spanish. Knowing this made it a little easier to remember. I was also able to practice my alphabet in french when I had to spell out the city and state from where I was from. I am still having difficulty reading the language since you do pronounce the words very differently from how you see it. I wouldn't say this is getting easier, but I am gaining knowledge.
Salut! you need to make your lips round and then say /I/ not /u/. Also you are supposed to say /VE/ no /va/ when saying je vais á. It is also interesting that you as Priscilla used handshaking which is never done by female speakers of French. You have to do kiss and double kiss on the cheek. The pronunciation of /u/ instead of /i/ is an example of Spanish influence since in Spanish we say /u/ but in French we say /i/.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis week I did an informal conversation in French with my classmate Priscilla Sambrano.

This week I learned how to say words like "la plage" which means "beach" and sentences like "Comment ca s'apelle" which means "how do you spell it?" I struggled with saying the letter "E" in French, I kept pronouncing it like the letter "I" in French when I was supposed to pronounce it as "OO". To get over that, I just kept repeating it over and over again. I struggled with remembering how to pronounce multiple sentences as well. To solve this, I watched the instructional videos and then wrote down how they sounded phonetically. Once I did that, I was able to improve a bit on my pronunciation. However, I do feel like I still need to work on pronouncing certain words and sentences correctly.
Well done. Great strategy to learn.

ReplyDeleteI did an informal conversation in French with my classmate Kenia Reyes. I learned a lot from doing this video. I learned how to say words like, "la plage" which means "the beach". I thought of how it reminds me of the word "la playa" which means the beach in Spanish. I watched a lot of instructional videos this time around so I could try to work on my French speaking abilities as I am having some issues with saying French words in the appropriate accent. Looking back on my video, I also believe that I need to work on my pronunciation because I am not so well in that department yet.
Well done.
