26. 1:47right now, start by registering correctly,
27. 1:51so you click on the link and you will register
28. 1:55and you will have all the equipment well-organised,
29. 1:59you will get all of this, okay?
30. 2:01This is very important. Come on, let’s start!
31. 2:05Hello. So I think you know this word
32. 2:09but we will pronounce it together.
33. 2:11"Hello to you.
34. 2:15Very well !
35. 2:17So this is the main word to greet in French.
36. 2:21We use it in the morning, the afternoon,
37. 2:24but in general, it can be used almost always.
38. 2:29We’re now going to look at some basic concepts
39. 2:33of the pronunciation and the French language in general with this word.
40. 2:38I’ve highlighted two letters in orange.
41. 2:42These two letters actually combine,
42. 2:46get together, to make a sound.
43. 2:49We ll talk about the sounds in lesson number 3
44. 2:54but right now, I must explain the very important things
45. 2:59In French, it's very common
46. 3:04that two letters come together to form a sound.
47. 3:09Here it is the nasal vowel "ON" [ɔ̃].
48. 3:14It's a bit like an [o], but it vibrates more towards the nose.
49. 3:18I will not detail it here, but it is:
50. 3:20"ON", [ɔ̃]
51. 3:23And most importantly, you do not have to say "ONE" [ɔn]!
52. 3:27We do not hear the letter "N"
53. 3:30since the two letters form a sound, so it's "GOOD" [bɔ̃].
54. 3:37Good job ! Bravo!
55. 3:39Then, the letter "J",
56. 3:43we will see the letters in lesson number 2,
57. 3:45is pronounced a bit like when you say "JAZZ", "THE JAZZ",
58. 3:49but there is no "D" in front,
59. 3:53this part only. So: "HELLO".
60. 3:59Then, very importantly, the two letters "O" and "U"
61. 4:02will also get together to form the sound "OU" [u].
62. 4:08So it's the sound of "BOOTS" in English for example.
63. 4:11This sound is very common but it is not a long duration sound, it is "OR" [u].
64. 4:16And finally, the final letter"R",
65. 4:20we will hear it, but the "R" in French is pronounced here.
66. 4:25A bit like when you make gargles.
67. 4:30Okay ?
68. 4:31And since it is at the end, it is very light.
69. 4:34Let's go ? "HELLO".
70. 4:37Oh, you are very good at this, huh? Bravo!
71. 4:43Bravo!
72. 4:44So there you go, it is very important that you understand that sometimes,
73. 4:49two letters combine to form a single sound in French,
74. 4:54we will speak about it again. So be careful,
75. 4:57"HELLO" is written in one word
76. 4:59We do not write "BON" and "JOUR", no, "BONJOUR".
77. 5:03"BONJOUR" does not take "S" at the end, no!
78. 5:07Warning ! These are very, very common mistakes that I encounter
79. 5:11so I wanted to tell you.
80. 5:15From 5pm, more or less,
81. 5:20we can, even generally,
82. 5:22use the word: "BONSOIR".
83. 5:27So,
84. 5:29So, in the same way, "O" and "N" get together
85. 5:34to form the sound "ON" [ɔ̃].
86. 5:36"BON" [bɔ̃]
87. 5:38and not "BONNE", no, "BON". [bɔn] [bɔ̃]
88. 5:42Okay ?
89. 5:45Here, the letter "S", it's a deaf "S",
90. 5:53so it's pretty closed [S], we'll talk about it again.
91. 5:59And the letters "O" and "I" combine
92. 6:02to form the sound "OI" [wa], okay?
93. 6:07So you see, these letters combine very often
94. 6:10but we'll talk about it later.
95. 6:12And the final "R" [r], "BONSOIR".
96. 6:17Very well !
97. 6:19The tonic accent is always at the end of words in French.
98. 6:23So it's not "BONSOIR", no. "BONSOIR", okay.
99. 6:28"HELLO", very good.
100. 6:31So an important thing, it is the same as for "BONJOUR",
101. 6:36"BONSOIR" is spelled in one word and there is no "S" at the end.
102. 6:40We will take a look at one last very important word,
103. 6:43and after that, we will take a look at some examples.
104. 6:45The word "SALUT" is also a very common word that is used to greet
105. 6:51and it's a more informal word, okay?
106. 6:55So we will use it more with friends.
107. 7:00So look at this word, it is pronounced this way:
108. 7:04"HI"
109. 7:09Very well !
110. 7:10So,
111. 7:15the letter "U" is not pronounced "OU" [u], no.
112. 7:19It is pronounced "U" [y], so ...
113. 7:22you must act as if you were doing "OU" [u]
114. 7:26but at the same time, you try to make an "I" [i].
115. 7:31So: "U" [y].
116. 7:35Very well !
117. 7:37And beware, we do not pronounce the final letter "T".
118. 7:43And that's very characteristic thing in French.
119. 7:48In general, we do not pronounce the final consonants.
120. 7:54and there are many silent letters in French
121. 7:58but we'll talk about it again.
122. 8:01Well, let's say the three words again:
123. 8:04"BONJOUR",(HELLO in english)
124. 8:08"BONSOIR" (GOOD EVENING in english)
125. 8:12"SALUT".(HI in english)
126. 8:14Fantastic !
127. 8:16It's very important to start well.
128. 8:19I do not insist that you pronounce perfectly,
129. 8:22but I insist that you understand some basic principles
130. 8:28and if you understand them well at first,
131. 8:30everything will be easier after.
132. 8:34At first, we get the impression that French is a very difficul language
133. 8:38because there are weird things about it,
134. 8:40but in fact, it's not true!
135. 8:42These are just a few things,
136. 8:45and if you understand them, you will understand that French is not difficult at all
137. 8:50Let's continue, and now we'll see some examples.
138. 8:55So I will not detail everything in the examples,
139. 8:58pronunciation etc.
140. 9:00And since you have the subtitles in your language,
141. 9:04you will automatically have the translations
142. 9:07so I will not translate all that.
143. 9:11The first example is a formal example
144. 9:15because we see that we use "YOU",
145. 9:19"Hello, how are you ?"
146. 9:22and the "VOUS" is a pronoun that is used to speak
147. 9:26to people we do not know, in a formal way.
148. 9:31Come on, I'll let you hear this example.
149. 9:35"Hello, how are you ?" "Hello, very good, what about you?"
150. 9:40"Very well thank you."
151. 9:42Okay ? So you did recognize Noemi,
152. 9:46we did the recording together.
153. 9:48So second example,
154. 9:50this time, we will use "TU", "Are you okay?"
155. 9:54So this time, it's informal, with friends. I will let you listen to this dialogue.
156. 10:00"Good evening Michel, how are you?" "Yes, I am fine.
157. 10:04And you, how are you? "" Very good! "
158. 10:08Okay, so you have the translations normally coming out,
159. 10:11in the subtitles in your language.
160. 10:14Another small informal dialogue.
161. 10:18"Hi, how are you ?" "I am okay.
162. 10:20And you, how are you? "I am okay !"
163. 10:23Okay ? So we use a lot "I am okay"
164. 10:26we can use "it's okay" also to say , "Are you okay?"
165. 10:29and also to answer:
166. 10:31"I'm fine". So, "How are you?"
167. 10:35It's very normal in French. A last dialogue which is little bit longer
168. 10:39which is formal since we will use:
169. 10:41"YOU", "MR", "MRS" etc.
170. 10:44I let you listen to the dialogue.
171. 10:47"Hello Mr. Holland, how are you?" "Hello Mrs. Duprès, very good, thank you.
172. 10:54How are you? "" I'm fine, thank you. Have a good day !"
173. 10:59"Thanks, good day to you too, goodbye!"
174. 11:03"Goodbye !"
175. 11:04Here. So this was sort of a longer dialogue,
176. 11:07so I know you may not understand everything
177. 11:10but do not worry !
178. 11:12As the course is in French, it's a great thing for you!
179. 11:15You get used to French music, to the pronunciation,
180. 11:19to recognize a little bit of words
181. 11:22and even if you do not understand everything, it does not matter!
182. 11:25I preferred to do a practical lesson to get started
183. 11:29where you see things directly and you can put them into practice
184. 11:33for it to be motivating and pleasant!
185. 11:38In Lesson 2 and Lesson
186. 11:41we will see a little bit of theory.
187. 11:43Bravo! This is a very, very good beginning!
188. 11:45Now do not forget to do the exercises on your PDF file
189. 11:51and listen again to all these dialogues
190. 11:56and the ideal is to repeat them.
191. 12:00You listen to it and repeat it, okay?
192. 12:03And, if you could learn it, it would be perfect!
193. 12:08But before, listen to it many times
194. 12:10and try to repeat it, well it's already
195. 12:13very very good ! 196 00:12:15,360 --> 00:00:00,000 Well, goodbye and we will meet again in lesson number 2.****
