Section Three - Part A Un Virelangue It's time again to memorize a tongue twister. Remember that this is an invaluable aid in pronunciation. This one will be fun for you. Listen to it as many times as you need and then record it for your teacher in French. Turn in this assignment at Speaking 3a. This assignment is worth 16 points. Je suis ce que je suis et si je suis ce que je suis, qu'est-ce que je suis? I am what I am and if I am what I am, what am I? Flashcards for Unit Vocabulary Remember that a very important tool for you to use are the unit flashcards. Here are the flashcards for the unit. Be sure to use them as they will help you in pronunciation and to really learn the vocabulary for each unit. Flash Card Activity One   D'où viens-tu? Sometimes in talking about the places in our town, we need to talk about where we have come from and what we have been doing there. Read and listen to the following to see how we can talk about where we are coming from and what we have been doing there. D'où viens-tu? D'où venez-vous? D'où viens-tu? Je viens de la piscine. Je viens de nager. Je viens du cinéma. Je viens de regarder un film. Je viens du musée. Je viens de voir une peinture. "Venir" is the verb we will use to say "to come." Venir is an irregular verb. Observe et écoute: Venir = To come Je viens nous venons tu viens vous venez il elle on vient ils elles viennent Be sure to repeat these forms and begin to learn them. Write them down in your notebook. After the forms of this verb, when you say where you have just come from or what you have just come from doing, again, we use the "de". Be sure to pay close attention to the form of the article that follows it.  Writing Practice Imagine that the people indicated are coming from each of the following places. Write a sentence saying where they are coming from and what they have just done there. You will have two sentences for each picture. Jacques Jacques vient du cinéma. Il vient de regarder un film. Monique Monique vient du magasin. Elle vient d'acheter un CD. Susanne et Patrick Susanne et Patrick viennent du parc. Ils viennent de faire une promenade. Joseph et Yvette Joseph et Yvette viennent de la banque. Ils viennent de payer. Toi Tu viens de l'école. Tu viens d'étudier. Moi Je viens de la boucherie. Avance à la Partie B.
