Key learning points
- The French 'g' has 2 sounds: soft before e, i and y and hard before other letters.
- With a definite article, 'l'allemand' is a noun, without an article it is an adjective.
- With capital letter, 'Allemand' is a noun meaning a person from Germany, as with 'anglais' and other languages.
- We use the present tense of 'aller' followed by an infinitive to express future plans.
- We use 'nous allons' and 'vous allez' + infinitive to express what we and you (plural) are going to do.
Words to know
- [j/soft g]
- sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) like the [j] sound in 'jour' or the [soft g] sound in 'génial'
- nous allons
- French verb meaning 'we go' or 'we are going'
- vous allez
- French verb meaning 'you (plural) go' or 'you (plural) are going'
Common mistakes
The word German is always 'allemand' with a lower case 'a' in French.
With a capital letter, Allemand is a noun meaning a person from Germany. With a lower case letter it is an adjective describing someone or something that comes from Germany and also a noun meaning the German language.
For parents, carers and teachers
- In this lesson, Abdel and Amandine are from Algeria so there is scope for a cultural focus here.
