Un Virelangue


What is a virelangue? It's something that "swerves the tongue" - a tongue twister. We have several of these in English. "She sells seashells down by the seashore...." is an example of one. Listen to this French one.

Listen: Ces six saucissons-ci sont si secs qu'on ne sait si c'en sont. (These six sausages are so dried up, it's not sure that they really are sausages.)

Listen to it until you feel comfortable with it. Record yourself saying it and submit it to your teacher for grading at Speaking 3c.

This assignment is worth 8 points.


practice La lecture (Reading Practice)


Read the selection in French and then try answering the questions. Click on each questions to see if you have responded correctly. Don't worry if there are words you don't yet know. It's not a problem. If you must, you may look the words up but try to guess at their meaning or infer their meaning from the words around them.

Je m'appelle Thomas Michaud. Je suis de Genève mais j'habite à Bern en Suisse. Je suis étudiant et j'aime faire du ski et du snowboard. En hiver, je fais du ski à Zermatt, dans les Alpes. En été, j'aime faire du vélo et me promener dans le jardin public avec mes amis. En été, il fait chaud, des fois 30 degrés. En hiver, il fait très froid en Suisse - il fait 0 degrés ou moins. J'aime l'hiver parce que j'aime faire du ski et étudier, mais je préfère l'été parce que je suis en vacances.

1. Comment s'appelle le jeune homme?
2. Où habite Thomas?
3. D'où vient Thomas?
4. Qu'est-ce qu'il aime faire, Thomas?
6. Quel temps fait-il en Suisse en été?
7. Quel temps fait-il en hiver?
