This year we worked on developing a basic understanding of the French language. This was the first year that my class had taken French so we all had a limited or even nonexistent understanding of French. At the start of the year we worked on greeting people, French numbers, and asking and answering basic questions such as, Comment ça va? Or Tu as quel age? Then we moved on to expressing likes and dislikes, which was followed by agreeing or disagreeing. After that we learnt how to use French in order to ask questions about school for example, asking what classes someone’s has. This was also a change to delve into the culture of France; we explored the different school system the French use and the different, yet often similar, classes available in France. We continued with the theme of school for a little while longer while we worked with how to make and respond to requests. We then learnt how to get someone’s attention, after we learnt the French colors. Soon after we returned again to likes and dislikes, but this time we learnt to express how much we liked it and inquiring about others likes and dislikes. We then learnt more important skill such as ordering food and drinks and making plans. We rounded of the year with an introduction to family life. We learned the names of members in the family and the culture implication of them in France.
Coming into this year I was a bit disappointed that I wouldn't be continuing with my Nepali studies, but I soon came to enjoy French class. I also thought that this year we would just learn about the French language, but that misconception was soon disestablished; we also learnt much about French culture, which has helped broaden by view of the global world.
Bonjour Pujen,
Merci pour ton évaluation de l'année.
Tu as vraiment fait de très grands progrès cette année et ton niveau en français est excellent, autant à l’oral qu’à l’écrit. Je souhaite sincèrement que tu puisses continuer tes études de français l'année prochaine, si cela est possible. Je suis persuadée qu’en continuant à étudier sérieusement et avec persévérance, tu peux, un jour, faire partie de ceux qui parlent français couramment !
Je te souhaite d'excellentes vacances d'été!
A très bientôt,
Madame :)
