Easy French for Beginners - Part 1

1. Introduction: Hi everyone. My name is Tiffany and I have been a French teacher for several years. And I love teaching French if you're a beginner and you're willing to learn French, but you're starting from scratch and you don't know where to start. Actually, this course was meant for me. It's actually the first part of a course that I designed for beginners. And with this course, I would like to show you that it's possible to learn French easily and quickly. Each of my videos are on average between 25 minutes, so they are very short, very easy to digest. And we are going to focus with this first part on three very important verbs in French. Which is to be Ofwat, which means to have. And it may, which means to like. In each section, you will find the conjugation of the verb. You will find some words of vocab. And I chose to focus on a few words of vocab that you can practice over and over again. It's better to memorize and a few exercises to help you practice. Also, you don't necessarily need to take notes because I wrote all the information that you need in a PowerPoint that you can access with this course. This course is really meant to help you stop making sentences in French. That means that after watching all of the videos, you'll be able to stop talking about what you like, how you feel, your personality, what you have. So the purpose is really to get you started to help you stop learning and speaking French. That's very important. You see that it's not that complicated. I'll show you the steps and I'll give you a lot of examples so that you can practice on your own. Of course, if you are still interested in learning French after these first bot, there will be a second part, the third bout and more to come. I hope you are going to enjoy this course and say backseat. 2. Conjugation of the verb ETRE (to be): We are going to stop this lesson with the verb. Is the verb that means to be in French. So here is the conjugation of the verb in present tense. Sure, three, just three. That's, I am to a, That's, you are in an informal context. To is used for informal contexts. It's an informal you and it's a singular one. You cannot use it. When you're talking to several people. Il a, that's he is a a she is L. E. May only we are that's an informal way, is an informal weeds so you can use it in informal contexts. New sum that we are in a formal context, knew some Wu Zhi W2s it. That's you are, but UHC is an, a formal you, it's used in very formal contacts with people you don't know very well, or people that you have to show respect to. Or it can also be the plural, you ELA. So that's the masculine. They are ill, some ELA. So that's the feminine. They are N, sum. 3. Vocabulary of emotions: Just like in English, the verb to be at in French is used to describe something. It can be used to describe emotions, feelings, or simply the physical appearance of a person. So in order to practice this verb and the conjugation of the verb, I am going to give you a few words of vocab just so that you can use it in full sentences. First, we're going to start with the list of words related to emotions and feelings. So in French, BU is the masculine word for happy. Now, if you want to use it in the feminine form, you have to say. And you have to pronounce the final S. Like I said. That's also happy, but in the feminine form. Second word, twist. Twist. That means sad. Whether it's masculine or feminine, you're going to use the same words. So it's creased. Fats, Iggy, fatty. Fatty ag means tired. Here, if it's masculine, you choose to have the final e with the accent. And if it's feminine, you just have to add an extra e, but you do not pronounce it. It's Sony when you write the word that you had to think about it, fatiguing this, this, it means disappointed. This, YOU same as with the word tired, fatigued. You just have to add an extra a0 if it's feminine, but you do not have to pronounce it. So it's only when you write the word that you have to think about it. This vacancy. Vic see Vinci means upset. I'll plan for them. I'll plan on plan for them. That means in great shape, super and through the SDK, super energetic in great shape. All plan. This is something you can use with either feminine or masculine width. So you didn't do that. Need to worry about the feminine form. It's just to phrase that you can use for both all Kool-Aid, our color. This means angry. Now the word su, su CHI, that's the masculine version for surprised. If you want to use the feminine form, you just have to add an e and it changes the pronunciation. You have to say please. For the feminine version, sure, please. The word Ge, Lu, Bu means jealous, and that's masculine. So if you want to use the feminine version, Jazz lose, jack Lew, masculine, feminine. And the last word is activity C. The C, that means interested. If you want to say that you're interested in something in French, you're going to have to use the preposition bar. So you're gonna say activists C bar or something. 4. Vocabulary of personality traits: Let me give you a second list of vocabulary. This one, you're gonna be able to use it to describe personality. The first word is calcium. Calcium. That's very easy to guess what it means. It's come, of course. Now, take 2222. That means stubborn. You have to add an extra a0 when you're talking about a feminine version like about a girl or a woman. Activision. The Li Zhang, intelligent or clever. Attorney Zhang is the masculine version. Now if you want to make it feminine, you just have to add an extra a0 and you will have to pronounce the final t. And that's going to become until he shot the shot. The next word is set. You say, You said you. That's masculine and the feminine one is savvy. Use Sara, use. The final S followed by an e is pronounced like a z. Of course, this word means serious. Next word is police. Poor. Poorly means pearlite. And I'm gonna give you the opposite, which is poly pu Li. Of course that means rude. Pulley, pulley. Next word is the hole. The hole means funny. The whole song. Question is the masculine version for patients? And the feminine version is best shot. By shot. The opposite is pass or apis yacht, and that means inpatient. Next word is all twos. Yes. On to zs. That means enthusiastic. Be careful. You have to pronounce T-H just like a T. In French, there is no th sound like in English. So you have to say or to Z-test. Next word is yeah, bla. Bla, mains. Reliable. Yeah. And the last word of vocab I would like to give you here is Sabeti, some bar tick. That means friendly. Again, be careful with the th, it's pronounced just like a T in French. Some tick. I hope you've tried to repeat after me each of the words because it's very useful for your pronunciation. And now we are going to try and practice these words in full sentences with the verb conjugated in French. 5. Examples with the verb ETRE: Now that you've learned the verb at the conjugation of the verb ad, and a few words of vocab. We are going to use those elements to construct full sentences. And you see that it's actually pretty easy. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you a sentence. And I'm going to leave you a few seconds first to repeat after me, and also to try and translate the sentence, see what it, what it means. The first sentence is X2. X3 should sweep. So you can repeat after me, Jiu Sui, hers. And you can also try and tell me what it means. What do you think it means? Sweet. That's I am happy, right? I am happy. Second sentence in a this you repeat after me. In a this you. What do you think it means? Key is disappointed, right? Il a dispute means he is disappointed to it. Fatiguing to repeat after me to a fats Iggy. What does it mean? Right? It means are you tired? See how it's a question. There is a question mark in French, and I used a rising tone when I said the sentence to FMCG. That indicates it's a question. So are you tired? Another sentence would be Juice three on Kool-Aid, x2, x3, on repeat after me. Juice reason Kool-Aid. What does it mean? Right? It means I am angry. I am angry. Next sentence would be L, song, plan for home. And Santo plan form. You can repeat now. L, some top plan for them. And what do you think it means? It means they, as in the feminine day, they are in great shape. Next sentence. And a somatic. Somatic. You can repeat now. And a somatic. And what does it mean? It means she is friendly, right? She's friendly. Ellie, subarctic. Last sentence. Some, Shambhala, ill, some repeat after me in some flyable. And what does it mean? They are reliable, right? So here it's a masculine. They also note that when you're using the plural form, you have to add an S in French even to the objectives. I know it's not the case in English, but you have to do it in French. However, you do not pronounce this final S indicating the plural form. So see, it was actually pretty easy with the words you've learned and with the conjugation of the verb to be, you can make a lot of sentences. Try and practice on your own. Try and make your own sentences using all the vocab you've learned so far. And it's going to be good for, for, for you to memorize, to help you memorize these words. And you'll also see that it's not that hard to make a sentence in French. It's a good start. Now we can move on to the next file, which is going to be about negations. 6. Negations with the verb ETRE: So now you're going to learn how to make a negation in French. Meaning that instead of saying I am, you want to be able to say I am not. Okay? And that's going to be very useful because negations in French or always constructed on the same basis. So you can use what I'm going to teach you here for any verb in French, a negation in French is made of two elements you have to use. No, that's the first part of the negation, new. And you have to use, That's the second part of the negation. The verb has to come in between. So first you have to use new, then the conjugated verb, and then pop the second part of the negation. But just one thing you need to know, when is followed by a vowel, when it's followed by a word starting with a vowel, you have to remove the e of nu and you have to add an apostrophe. Okay? You will see examples of that. I'm going to conjugate the verb to be and make it negative just to show you how it works and you see what I mean by, by removing the E and adding the apostrophe. So just three becomes Zhou know Sui Pao in the negative form x2, x3 bar. And that's I am not to eight becomes to see how I remove the e of nu. And I added an apostrophe. And it does have a consequence in terms of pronunciation because I'm not saying to know AICPA. I'm saying too neat. Bow to Nipah, ELA, ny bar. And Ni, Ni Nu know some Bao. Bu, net, pop. Song, bow. L, know some Bao. Okay, That was the verb to be in the negative form. Another thing you should know here, I'm teaching you the correct way to speak French. But we French people tend to drop the new and to just keep the second part of the negation when we are speaking, when we are in an everyday conversation. So instead of saying Zhu Xi bar, I would very often say and here, just sweep up. So don't, don't get surprised if you hear that from French people, that's normal. That's something we do in everyday speech, but the correct way to use a negation is actually sweep up. Okay? 7. Examples of negations with the verb ETRE: Let me give you a few examples of sentences using a negation in French were going to still use the same was you've learned and steal the conjugation of at, of course, the first sentence is three bar stroke, please. Sure, no stroke, please. I am not surprised. You can repeat after me. No stroke, please. E-mail me. Bob. Activists, C bar, loop, football. He is not interested in football or soccer. Ill, ny, bar, C bar football. And nepa who whose L bar has? That means she's not happy. L ny bar, it will hose. Wgu, net buffets, Iggy, VNET by fatigue. That's a negative question. And it means you're not tired or you're not tired. Wgu, net buffets, Iggy. See how I'm using a rising tone again to show that it's a question to indicate I'm asking you a question. And the last sentence, the last example I would like to give you is ny bar Nipah, Jed, He's not jealous. Ill ny bar shelf. 8. First exercise with the verb ETRE: Now let's practice. We are going to do a little exercise to practice the conjugation of the verb to be, but also the vocabulary of emotions and feelings. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to describe some situations in English. And you're going to have to write a sentence to say how the person is feeling in this situation. Of course, you have to run the sentence in French, so you have to conjugate the verb, etc. And you have to use the right words to describe their feelings. Give you an example. If I tell you, Leo has found a new job and he's going to have a baby. How do you think Leo is feeling today? The right answer would be ELA it or Lille a. Elites knew it too. Hood. That's, he's happy, right? That's how he's feeling today because he's had great news. Okay, so I'm giving you the right answers at the very end of this video. And if you need a few seconds to write your sentence, just pause the video and write it and then play again. First situation. Sent an email, a nice e-mail to his girlfriend, but she didn't even take the time to respond. How do you think, Pierre, his feeling? Second situation? Maori had a very bad night. She fell asleep at 2AM and then had a lot of nightmares. How do you think she feels today? Third situation, Francois and Zhe. Okay, two people here, Francois and Zhang, are feeling very great today. They are very energetic and they feel very motivated to do all the things that they have to do. Next situation, Illinois and Lula have received a call from there causing today. They had not talked to her in two years. How do you think they feel? Finally, last situation. Juliet song broke have favorite glass. She had told him to be careful but he didn't listen. How do you think she feels? I hope you did great. I hope you didn't find it too difficult to use add and the words that you have learned. Now you can check the correction. So the first one, the right answer was E, the ksi or peer, VPC. You could also say twister. Okay. But I think it was more precise. He's upset. Obviously. The second one was mathy, it fats ag or L E fed CG. For the third situation, I think the best option was ELA. Some of plan is small platform. They are in great shape. Number four, the right answer was L song, please. Al song showcase. And because it's a parole, I'm adding an S at the end of stroke Pisa. And the last one about Juliet and her song, it was L E coli, elite oncology. She's angry, of course. 9. Second exercise with the verb ETRE: Now we are going to do another little exercise to practice the verb to be and vocab you have learned so far. And this exercise is a dictation, okay? I'm fine. Dictations very useful because they allow you to work on your listening skills because you have to understand what I say. And also on your writing skills because you have to be able to write correctly. Okay, so I'm going to read some sentences. I'm going to say them quite slowly to give you time to write. And then at the end of the video, I put the correction and you can check your answers. Just be careful when you have approval. Subject, like a plural pronoun, you have to add an S at the end of the objective, right? And that works for every adjective, except the ones that end with an x. When there is an x at the end of the adjective, you do not need to add an extra S. Okay, so gets ready. Take a pen, take your piece of paper. And I'm going to stop now. First sentence. And so the whole sum, the whole song, the whole second sentence. Some, in some bar. Number 3 to a, to a. Number 4. 3, the 2. And the last one. New some new, some calcium. Okay, I'm going to read the sentences again just so that you can check maybe your mistakes or check if you've understood rights. So the first one was L, the whole, the second one in notes, some bestial. Then two. It Shang Zhou nursery did two. And the last one knew some Catlin. So here is the correction. Okay, check your answers, pause the video to correct your mistakes, and I'll see you for the next video, the next lesson. 10. Conjugation of the verb AVOIR (to have): Now that you know the conjugation of the verb to be, I would like to teach you the conjugation of the verb of Bois, another very important verb in French, it means to have. Okay, so we are going to do the conjugation right now. Conjugation of present tense of law with Zhu. It's G. G, I have jay. You see that the e at the end of Zhu has been removed and replaced by an apostrophe because it's followed by a vowel, it AI sounds with an a. So in this case, you have to remove the e and replace it by an apostrophe. Too. Informal. You have. He has she has not. Una, see how I'm linking the sound and I pronounce the end because it's followed by a vowel. I wouldn't do that if it was followed by a consonant. But because it's followed by a vowel and saying ulna. In formal, we have new XAML, new Salvo. For more. We have woo, woo savvy, formal or plural. You have zone, Islam. They have masculine. Elle's on Amazon. They have, but the feminine version. Careful here with Huizong and Amazon, it's very easy to get confused with the verb x, sum and sum. In terms of pronunciation with the verb ed, you have an S, so you have to pronounce it like an actual S. But with the verb Ofwat, there is no S at the beginning of the conjugated verb, so it's just the final S of E, L, L That makes a linking sounds. So it's more like a zed is on Amazon. 11. Vocabulary of family, friends, belongings: Now we are going to follow the same principle as the first lesson with Ed. And I'm going to give you a few words of vocab that are going to make it possible for you to practice the verb as well. So I'm going to give you a few words that you can use with the verb of law. But before we start, I would like to explain that every noun in French is either masculine or feminine, and there is no logic to it. You cannot guess if a word is feminine or masculine. It doesn't depend on whether the object is used more by man or a woman. It has nothing to do with that, so you just have to know it. So when I'm going to give you the woods of vocab, I'm going to add an article before the noun to let you know if it's masculine or feminine. Or loop or mastering articles. They indicate that the word ease of mescaline would you didn't know or lock is offending or feminine articles. So they indicate that the word is a feminine noun. Now sometimes there is a plural, D or E, Lee, and that doesn't say if it's masculine or feminine. But I will indicate with an M if it's masculine or with an F if it's feminine so that you know if the word is masculine or feminine. Let's start with the first list. Msm. Msm, a house, the Zafar dissolve for children. Shia. Shia, that's a dog. Now if you have a cat, you might want to say sharp shop, a cat. Urine. What you what you, uh, car. Car VI Part VI, work a job. The correlate the collegue colleagues, colleagues that you have at work. In Fannie. Fannie, a family man, mark, a husband. If you're a woman and if you're married to a man, you might want to talk about your husband or Mahi. But if you're a man and you're married to a woman, then you might say, fam. From this word, Farm means both woman and a wife. The zen means d, zenme, friends. Telephone. Telephone, a cell phone. 12. Vocabulary of common phrases with AVOIR: Now I'm going to give you a second list of vocab, and this one is more about phrases using the verb Ofwat. These phrases are different from English because in English with a lot of them you are going to use to be. And in French we used to have a k. So they are very important, very commonly used. So you should really know them very, very well. The first one is Gua, Gua, gua flop. That's to be cold, okay, of Wahaha. So in French we say to have cold. And the opposite is AV1 should have one shoe to be hot. Next one is Av1. Fun of work to be hungry. And another very close phrase that you can use is Av1. Slough. Slough means to be thirsty. I have wir mal are something I've wir mal means to have to have a part of your body that aches, that is sore. If I say for example, j mal, let it, that means I have a headache, right? Let It Be careful here. There is another phrase in French with the verb of Wow, that is very close to this one. It's AV1. Do Mal. Mal means to have difficulty to do something, right? So they are very, very close, but they're not the same and they don't have the same meaning. So don't forget when you want to say you have difficulty doing something. Next one is Ofwat's of v du Bois on v du, and it can be followed by a noun or another verb. I've worked on. V du means to want or to feel like something. So if I say all v du, Chicago LA, it means I want chocolate. I feel like chocolate, like eating chocolate. Next one, another very important one Ofwat voussoir do. And again, it's going to be followed by something else. I've watched voussoir do that means to need per bird to be scared, to be afraid. All nav bar, ma, on, NAV, ma, ma. See here I added a little word or before the verb. While it's very important, don't forget this little word. And this phrase means to be sick of something. I've doula shizonts. Shizonts, that means to be lucky. Finally, the last one is OFWAT Lu tong. Tong to have time. 13. Examples with the verb AVOIR: I'm going to give you a few examples with the verb. But before I do that, I would like to give you a little list of some very common French verbs. Just because I think it's going to be very useful with some of the phrases I've just taught you in the previous video. Mozi means to eat more. Ji Gua. Gua means to drink. What? Da me, da me. That means to sleep. Or vice versa. Yay. Yay, yay means to work. Ma Shi. Shi. That means to walk. Mushy. Ya Zhe, YAG, to travel. Curie Z, me, crazy me. Queasy nay means to cook. Basale, to talk or to speak. Pond. Compound, to understand. Pomp. And the last one is up pom. Pom. That means to learn. Now as promised, I'm going to give you a few examples with the verb, just so that you see how it's used in full sentences. And I would like you to try and practice and make your own sentences. It's really going to help you memorize the vocabulary and the conjugation of the verb. So my first example is J meson. J given meson, I have a house. My second example is a question to this offer to the Zafar. Do you have children? Do you have kids? See, I used the sentence and I just added a rising tone to show that I'm asking a question. So it's pretty easy to up the Zafar, our model, our debt, and our mal. I'll add debt. She has a headache. Johnny Marr, Zhong Ni Ma, I'm sick of it. News everyone do less. Shawcross, new Zobel, do law. Shaw's. We are lucky. Now your turn, practice with your own examples. Try and say the sentences out loud. It's going to help you with your pronunciation and also try and repeat after me all the examples I gave you try and pronounce them as well. Again, just to help you practice pronunciation. 14. Negations with the verb AVOIR: Negations with the verb of law with exactly the same way as with the verb at or with any other verb in French. So you're still going to need new and pop. And the width verb is going to come in between. The only thing you need to know is that see how I have G. The final E was replaced by an apostrophe. So here the apostrophes going to come at the end of new because it's new, that's followed by a vowel. So I don't have is Ni, Fei. Okay? And then you just follow the same principles. So to not bump, again, you need the apostrophe because it's followed by a vowel to Nakba in and not Bach. New novel, vu, Navi. But, you know, right, that's the negation with Ofwat's. So don't forget, when the e is followed by a vowel, you have to remove the e and add an apostrophe. That's pretty much the only thing you need to remember. Otherwise, it's just what you've already learned. Let's try a few examples with negations with a schwa. The first one would be Zhu Ni. Zhu Nipah FHA. I'm not called. Not do what you do what you it doesn't have a car seat here. I added due after br, because when Bach is followed by a noun a, you have to add this little wet do launch. You have to edit after any kind of quantity if it's followed by a noun. So here, I have to do it, I have to add do and say in that, but do what you. Okay. Same for the next one. And Bob and Bob, Dorf fall. She doesn't have any children. Again, I have to add do. And because it ends with an e and the word that follows starts with a vowel, I have to remove the e and add an apostrophe. And not dolphin. No fun. No fun. They're not hungry. They being either men only or a mix of men and women. It because it's the masculine day. You know, about fun. They're not hungry. New novel of v, du queasy Ni Nu never bought all of you do cosine. We don't feel like cooking. We don't want to cook. Now your 10, practice with your own examples. Try and say the sentences out loud. It's going to help you with your pronunciation and also try and repeat after me all the examples I gave you try and pronounce them as well. Again, just to help you practice pronunciation. 15. First exercise with the verb AVOIR: Now it's time to practice. So we are going to start with a little exercise. We're going to practice. I've wow the conjugation, the words of vocab, everything. First, I would like to give you some additional information. In one of the exercises, I'm going to use a connecting word. So I thought maybe it would be useful for you to know the main connecting words in French, the main ones, or it means and make. Me means, but. Bazooka puffs. That means because and Bu means or, right. So you should really know these ones. There are a lot of connecting words of course, but these are really the main ones you should know. I'm just going to use one of them is one of one of the exercises. But still, you should definitely learn them right now. Okay, so let's start first exercise. I'm going to give you sentences and you're good now have to transform them into negations. So I'm going to give you a few seconds to write your negation on the piece of paper you have or on your computer. If it's not enough, if I didn't give you enough time, don't hesitate to post the video, okay. And just to add a little difficulty to the exercise, I'm not going to write the initial sentence on the board, like here in the video, I'm not going to write it, so you're going to have to understand what I say and also transform the sentence into a negation double complexity. Again, at the end of the video, of course you have the correction as usual. So the first sentence is Ji Feng Zhi fun. How would you make that negation? Zhe Fang? Second sentence. L of v, The Voyage. L of v, du voyage. Next one. Next sentence. You have to transform into a negation, new versus one. Do dormi, new. Verse 1, the dormi. The next one is Zhong SWF, zone, SWF. And the last sentence you have to transform into a negation. Dj, Thom, do, QVC, me, Gee, Tom, do, queasy me. Okay, well done. So here is the correction. Here are the negations you are meant to have written on your piece of paper or on your computer. I hope you didn't make too many mistakes. Maybe you didn't make any. If that's so congratulations, Good on you. And we can move on to the next exercise. 16. Second exercise with the verb AVOIR: For the second exercise about Ofwat, I'm going to give you some sentences in French and you're going to have to translate them into English. That's just to check whether you have memorized the vocabulary and whether you are comfortable with the conjugation of, Ofwat. So again, at the end of the video, you'll find the correction and you'll be able to check your answers. I'm not going to write the sentences and just like in the first exercise, and I'm not going to run them on purpose because I really want you to focus on what I'm seeing on the pronunciation. Okay, That's very important. Gets used to listening to French rather than reading, you need to listen. It's very, very important when learning a language. Being able to ride, being able to, to understand things that are written, that's very good, but it's even better to understand what's being said and pronounced. The first sentence is, ill. Do matter. A compound Lu frosty, illegible at compound Lu Fauci. Okay, So you have to translate this sentence. Illegible, a compound leaf, horsey. Second one, new northern Darfur, new novel. But don't fall. Sentence number 3. Are you in what you are a law in sentence number 4 now, two versus one, do Dani to Evers won the dormi. And the last one is me. Zone. May do. Now that you've translated all of the sentences, you can check the correction. And we move on to the next lesson. 17. Conjugation of the verb AIMER (to like): Now that you've learned at and Ofwat, you're able to talk about your emotions, your feelings, your personality, your house also able to talk about things you have and you're able to use some very common French phrases. So now in this lesson you're going to learn how to talk about what you like, okay? So in order to be able to do that, you're going to have to learn a new verb. And it's the verb Amy. In me means to like in French. First thing we are going to do is to see the conjugation of a me in me, as you can see, ends with ER in the infinity, and that indicates it's a verb from the first group. In French, we have different groups of verbs and verbs ending with ER belong to the first group. So the endings of verbs ending with E-R verbs from the first group are always going to be the same in French for present tense, I'm going to conjugate a me. So first, Gem, Gem means I like to m, you like and you remember it's informal. See how it ends with an S with two. However, you do not pronounce it to M. M. He likes L. M. She likes Mm. We like the informal. We knew Zemo. We like the formal. We like Wu Zhi me Buscemi. You like for more or plural. Is them. They like ans them. Feminine. They like IS them as them both and with ENT, but you do not pronounce the final ENT ever. 18. Vocabulary of activities: In order to use the verb ME TOO, like in context, you are going to need some vocab again. So I'm going to give you a few words of vocabulary and their words about activities, things you can do. Then using these vocab, you're going to be able to talk about things you like doing are things you don't like doing. The first one is fair, do spot. Fair do spot. That means to do sports, to exercise. Second one is law, not that strong. Law, not that strong. That's swimming. Number 3 is fair. Do LA music, fair. The love music to make music, to play music. And the next one is, it could be music. It could be the LA, music to listen to music. Or Hogarth de la Tilly, Lagarde, law. Tilly, to watch TV. A Hogarth day usually is like to look at, but we use this verb to say like watch, watch TV. Also, Tilley is in fact Tilly Vizio, but we always use the short version, Tilly. It's actually way easier to say. So just use that Tilly. Li. Li means to read La Honda ne la Hong do me. That means hiking. Alley or cinema. Ali. Oh, cinema. Ali. Who? Cinema means to go to the cinema, to go to the movies. They see me. This Sydney. This hemi, means to draw. And the last one is fair to do shopping, fare. Do shopping. We actually use the English word very often in French, shopping. So you can guess what it means to do shopping, to go shopping, families to do so it's literally, it's to do shopping. 19. Examples with the verb AIMER: Now that you have learned to the conjugation of a me and a few words of vocab related to activities. I'm going to give you a few examples, combining those elements to see how you can use them in a full sentence, in a constructed sentence. But just before I start, I would like to tell you something. When we use Emy in French, we very often add BR. Okay, We use on its own, it means when, but it's just something we use to say that's really, really like or that we like well doing something. So for example, if I say gem, spa, ha, I like sports. I could say Jim Beam, little spot. That's something you will hear very, very often. It just means you like, you like it. Okay, so now we are going to move on to the examples. And the first one is actually gem. Bianca, fair? Do SPA. Jim Beam, feldspar. I like doing sports. I like exercising. Next one is l m, fair, do shipping, LM fair do shopping. She likes shopping. Example number three. In them. Br allele or cinema. Is them, Yeah, Ali, or cinema. They like going to the cinema. Example number 4, Rosie me La, Honda knee was emitter Honda knee, Wu Zhi me La Honda Ni. Question mark. So that's a question. Okay. You notice the rising tone that the end of the sentence. And it means, do you like hiking? And the last example is new Zim equity. Do love music. New Zim equity dilemma music. We like listening to music. 20. Negations with the verb AIMER: Negations with the verb in me. There are constructed exactly the same way as any other negation in French, meaning you have to use new before the verb and bought off to the verb. For the first one, Zhen, that's going to become mm bar. Again, remember how you have to remove the e and add an apostrophe when it's followed by a vowel. So here it's the case. You have to say Zhun them. I don't like to them. You don't like eaten them? He doesn't like mm, bar. She doesn't like Nim bar. We don't like new name. We don't like again, formal. Vu named me boss. You don't like mm, bar or L name, but they don't like. Again, don't pronounce the final E and T. You remember, that's a very important pronunciation rule. Now that you know the conjugation of Amy and that you can use negations with the verb Amy. I would like to give you a few examples of negations with these verb and with the vocab you have rent. First example in mm, bar, Lou shopping in them, but new shopping. He doesn't like shopping. Example number 2. Nim Bop. Oh God, the daily. Jim Hogan. I do not like watching TV. Example number three, new name. Bob Lee, new nimble bar. We don't like reading example number 4, two mm bar, luck, not assume to them balance at Astrium. That's a negative question. And it pains. You don't like swimming, don't you like swimming? And the last one is mm, bar cinema. And then Barrow cinema. She doesn't like the cinema. 21. Useful adverbs: Here is some additional information for you. If you really want to insist on the fact that you like doing something, you can use an additional word to say a lot. And this word is beaucoup. It comes right after the verb in me conjugated. I'll give you an example. If you say gem beaucoup allele or cinema, Jim bu qu, eyelid or cinema. That means I like going to the cinema a lot, very much. Another word you can use if you want to insist on the fact that you like doing something is very much thermo means really. So if you say Jim, more, equity, doula, amnesic, gem, Vermont equity, do LA music. That means I really like listening to music. 22. First exercise with the verb AIMER : dictation: In order to practice what you've learned about the verb Amy and the vocab. We are going to do a little exercise.

You're going to have to write them down and then check your answers with the correction. Be careful on much use some of the words of the activities. But I might also use some verbs, some very common verbs I gave you in the previous section. So you have to use all the things you've learned so far. Let's start.

It's a text valves to my two friends, Tina and clock. And you're going to have to answer some questions related to these texts. So I'm going to give you the questions first so that you know what to look for. Then I'm going to read the text. And then I'll put the correction here so that you can check your answers.
