Talk about your Family in French

The Family is one of the first topics children learn in French.

First, because it is easy to talk about, and also because it is a subject that is most likely to come into the conversation.

Here is a poster representing the closest people to you.

There is a lot of information you can give about your family, even at a primary level.

such as:

j'habite avec mes parents

j'ai un frère et une soeur 

voici mon cousin

mes grands-parents s'appellent Jacques et Line

 You can ask the children to draw a picture of members of their family and to talk about them.

for example:

-Who they are

- What is their name

-How old are they

-Who do they live with.......

Stop Struggling with French Numbers

Learning the numbers in French is a basic stage towards mastering the language. Several patterns are evident in the way numbers are formed.

The numbers 1 to 16 are just single words.

The numbers 17 to 19 are compounds based on 10. They are linked by hyphens.

The numbers between 20 and 60 follow a similar pattern. These numbers are hyphenated except for 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61.

The numbers from 60 to 90 change. They are compounds from previous numbers. For example 70 becomes (sixty-ten) 71 (sixty-eleven) ....

Learning numbers is a repetitive exercise that can be achieved with the help of Flashcards and Posters.

Starting the conversation with an informal greeting

Inquiring about someone's health, mood, or life in general, is always a good way to engage in a casual chat.
"Comment ça va?" is a familiar approach to ask someone how they are doing.
It is usually answered by "très bien" which means - very well -
                                          "bien" - well -
                                          "Comme ci, comme ça" meaning - so so -
                                          "mal" - not well -
                                          "très mal" - not at all well -

Even if you know very little else of the French language at the moment, I am sure whoever you are talking to, will be appreciative of the effort.
