Tous les premiers ministres depuis 1948 ont vécu dans cette maison. Personne ne peut y entrer sans la permission du premier ministre. Les fonctions officielles ne se passent pas ici. Cette maison est seulement une résidence. Bienvenus! Welcome to a second semester of French II! Before we jump in to new information, take some time to organize your study habits for this course. If you did not take the first semester of this course, begin to make a list of vocabulary that is new to you and find a way to study this vocabulary as you work through the course. Make a study journal that you can write notes in that you can use when you are outside of our class time together. Stay in constant communication with your teacher to ensure the best success for this course. When there are areas or material that you have not had, be sure to let your teacher know so that you can get some additional help for those areas. Groupe de Discussion (Discussion Board) Go to Discussion 1a and introduce yourself in French to the class. Tell us... Your name Where you are from What your previous experiences with French were like A brief description of yourself Ce devoir vaut 12 points. Les Mots Apparentés Cognates are the words that look similar to words in another language. Learning these patterns of cognates can be very helpful and you can add to your vocabulary very quickly if you learn how these work. We will continue to learn more cognate patterns in this semester. Before we begin to learn additional cognates, we are going to learn of a few false cognates. These are words in another language that look like a word in English, but do not mean what we expect they will mean. They are also sometimes called false friends or faux amis in French because although they seem to be user friendly, they are actually the opposite. It is wise to make a list of these words and begin to learn them so that you avoid using them at the wrong time. You can try to guess what these words mean but be prepared....click on the word to see the actual meaning. You will see how it could be very wrong to use these when you think it would be the right word.
