Introduction

clock Quai d'orsay

 

 

Welcome to L'heure, Unit 4!

Now you can talk about the weather, days, dates and a few activities you like to do. Remember that fluency in any foreign language does not happen over night. It may seem to be a very slow process to you but it is one that is achieved the more you practice and seek ways to use your new skills.

 

 

 

 

In L'Heure you will:

  1. talk about places in a town
  2. talk about things to do in school
  3. talk about things you do at different places in a town
  4. manipulate some irregular verbs
  5. manipulate regular -ir and -re verbs
  6. learn to ask yes/no and information questions
  7. learn about French-speaking Canada

As you work, keep in mind the symbols that will help you to remember what it is you are going to be doing throughout the course. If you have forgotten those, you can look back at them to keep them in mind.
