INSTRUCTOR S NOTES 10 Episode 1 - Instructor's Notes: 1. Il y a states the existence of something (e.g. There is (exists) a monkey ). Voilà points something out physically (e.g. Look! There is a monkey!"). 2. Pronounce the French nasal sound in like the en in the English word pen, but nasalized. This sound is very often mispronounced by Americans and so needs your close attention. 3. The word petit means small unless referring to people, when it means short. In the same way, grand means big unless referring to people, when it means tall. 4. The versatile preposition à can mean to, at, or in. In general, cities take à and de when going to or from them. Thus: Il va à Paris - He goes to Paris, or Il vient de Paris - He comes from Paris. This rule applies to cities, but not countries. Thus: Il va en France - He goes to France, or Il va au Canada - He goes to Canada, or Il vient de la France - He comes from France, or Il vient du Canada - He comes from Canada. Refer to p. 95 for rules about contraction. 5. Technically il s appelle means he calls himself. Another way Bucky could identify himself is to say Je suis (I am). The s is a contracted form of se, which means himself or herself in French. 6. À cause de means because of. Do not confuse it with the much more common parce que, which means because. 7. a) The word teeth is plural. The word his is an adjective. In French adjectives agree with the nouns they modify. Thus, his above has to be in the plural form: ses dents. b) Because of the fact that in French tooth is feminine, and observing the rule just stated, to say his tooth (singular) you would use the feminine singular form of the adjective sa dent. c) If you want to say his book, since book is masculine, you would use the masculine form of this adjective: son livre. Son, sa, and ses and its related forms ( my is mon, ma, mes, etc.) will be revisited later in this text. 8. Note that in French to feel like is to have envy of. Such expressions, not directly translatable word-for-word, are called idioms in English and locutions in French. They warrant your close attention, as they are very common. This example uses the French verb avoir (to have), but many others use other verbs, esp. the verb faire (to make or to do). Episode 2 - Instructor s Notes: 1. The first four expressions in this episode are idioms using the verb faire (to make or to do) as discussed in note 7 in Episode 1. Again, idioms are structures that are not directly word-for-word translatable into English. He makes his suitcases; the weather makes cold, etc. Il a peur is another idiom using avoir he has fear vs. the English he is afraid. As in English, prepositions occur after verbs (e.g. he says something to a person. This is true in French. It is important to notice which prepositions occur most often with which verbs. Bucky dit à la femme Bucky says to the lady. Many verbs do not take à some take de. 2. In the expression lui dit we see how the French do not put to him or to her after the verb as in English. Instead, the preposition à combines with the object him or her to create lui which then is placed in front of the noun. 3. Use Je voudrais (with a verb or with a noun) when you ask for something in France. It is a polite form of Je veux, which simply means I want, which in France is not appropriate in shopping, dining, etc. 4. Je suis pressé is idiomatic I am pressed (for time). Note how the negative is formed with two words in French, generally by placing ne in front of the verb and pas behind the verb. 5. There are two ways to say you in French. One is to say tu this is called the familiar form. It is used between friends and family members. It is improper to use it with a French person who is merely an acquaintance, or in a professional setting. Instead, use the vous form the formal or polite form. Generally, the "vous" form ends in ez. Bucky does not know the woman so he addresses her with Excusez-moi. Likewise, the woman does not know Bucky and so uses the formal form Allez. 6. Le, la, and les mean the, depending on the gender of the noun to which they are referring: le stylo because pen is masculine, la femme because woman is feminine, and les livres or les femmes because both books and woman are plural. Note, however, that above with the word aéroport you cannot use le even though airport is masculine singular. This is due to the vowel beginning the word, which creates the contraction into l followed by an apostrophe. This also occurs with the letter h h is never pronounced in French and so is considered a vowel. Thus: l'aéroport, and l'hôtel. Episode 3 - Instructor s Notes: 1. J ai besoin de is another avoir idiom I have need of, whereas the Americans normally say, I need. 2. Re: premier taxi notice that this is the masculine singular form of the adjective because taxi is masculine singular. If the noun were feminine singular, like door ( la porte ), the spelling would change première porte to reflect that door is feminine. Spelling changes in adjectives is a complex topic. The best way to learn these forms is to simply make a note in your mind, when you see a modified noun, as to how the adjective is spelled, reflecting on the gender (masc. or fem.) and number (sing. or plural) of the noun. Memorizing lists of possible spellings of adjectives is not advised; there are too many details. For example, notice that the masculine spelling for second, deuxième, looks feminine but modifies the masculine noun driver.
11 Moreover, the same spelling of deuxième happens to be feminine as well! Just notice them as you go along, and you will become familiar with them. 3. Note that when you travel there are different ways to ask the cost of something. C est combien? and Quel est le prix? carry about the same meaning, but Quel est le tarif? is used to ask the fare, for example, of a taxi ride. So use it with transportation. 4. Vous êtes is a rare example of a vous form verb not ending in ez. 5. As stated, Spain ( l Espagne ) must use the l form of the word the because it begins with a vowel. 6. The formation of plurals is almost as complex as the formation of adjectives. In the word given above, le cheval (horse), if you wanted to say horses you would change the al ending of horse to aux chevaux. However, many words just add an s as we do in English. Please note how nouns are made plural as you move through the Bucky text. To memorize lists in this area is also not advised. Episode 4 - Instructor s Notes: 1. The word aérienne above is difficult for Americans to say. You would say ah and then ay in that order. The é is called an e accent aigu or sharp accent. You can master these accents by studying the Vowels section under French Pronunciation on p. 103. 2. To review, words beginning with a vowel or breathed h ( homme or "hôtel") take l.
FRENCH PRONUNCIATION 12 Consonants: the letters d,f,k,l,m,s,t,v,x are pronounced as they are in English. the letter p is softer in French. b is as in English except in certain words, as the b in the verb to observe, observer, when you want to say the b more like the English p. c when followed by e, i, or y is pronounced like the s in English. Otherwise it is pronounced like a k, unless it specifically has the accent cédille beneath it, in which case it is pronounced like an s. The word français provides an example. ch is as in the English word show. g is similar to c, in that when followed by e, i, or y it is pronounced like the s in leisure. g is similar to c, in that when followed by e, i, or y it is pronounced like the s in leisure. The word garage provides an example of both pronunciations, with the first g hard and the second soft. j is also pronounced like the s in leisure. h is always silent in French. qu is pronounced like the English k. w is pronounced like the English v. r is located behind the hard g sound in English. Find that spot in the upper back part of the mouth by saying the word agh and then softly transfer the agh sound into a softer r sound by saying the word rat softly. Note that the true French r is located completely opposite the American r instead of being low and in front of the mouth, it is high and in the back of the mouth. This letter requires extensive work for most Americans. An option is to say the word with an English h sound, which is close to the French r. Vowels: a, à, â as in father e as in hen é as in pay Vowel Combinations: è as in egg i as in machine ô as in note u make the mouth round and say the letters eeeee ai, ez, er, et as in date au, eau as in note ei as in hen eu as in book oi as in water ou as in food ille as in eeee euil as in toy ui as in we Nasals: an, en mouth is very open pronounced like the English word on but the sound is completely nasalized. in mouth is less open and in a slight smile pronounced like the English word hen but the sound is completely nasalized with no h. on mouth is almost closed, sides of mouth are down a little pronounced like the English letter o but the sound is completely nasalized. un mouth is as it is when relaxed and not speaking pronounced like in the English word grunt but the sound is completely nasalized.
