Bonjour, everyone! I'm very excited to learn with you. Take a look at our topic: 'Getting Around at Home' – we're going to learn how to talk about objects in your home and where they are. Today we will learn some new French words. First, French vocabulary for common household objects – things like a table (une table), a chair (une chaise), a bed (un lit), and a door (une porte). Then we'll learn position words – on, under, next to, behind, in front of, and between. In French: sur, sous, à côté de, derrière, devant, entre. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to describe where things are in French!
Bonjour, class! I'm your teacher, and today we will learn words for objects in the house. At this title: 'Les Objets dans la Maison' — Objects in the House. First, 'la maison' means the house. Next, 'la table' is the table. 'la chaise' is the chair. Repeat after me: la maison, la table, la chaise. Let's learn three more. 'La porte' is the door, 'la fenêtre' is the window, and 'le livre' is the book. Repeat after me: la porte, la fenêtre, le livre. Excellent work today, everyone! You now know six French words. Practice them at home. See you next time!
In French, we call them 'les mots de position' — position words. These will help you describe exactly where something is, like 'on the table' or 'under the bed.' Ready to begin? Our first word is 'sur.' It means 'on.' Look at this picture — the book is sur la table, on the table. Can you say 'sur' with me? Sur. Repeat after me: sur la table. Next is 'sous,' which means 'under.' In the picture, the shoes are sous le lit — under the bed. Say it with me: sous. Together: sous le lit. Think of your slippers at home, maybe they're sous the sofa! Our third phrase is 'à côté de.' This means 'next to.' See the chair? The bag is à côté de la chaise — next to the chair. Repeat after me: à côté de. Try the full phrase: à côté de la chaise. In your classroom, who is sitting à côté de you? Here's 'derrière,' which means 'behind.' In this picture, the tree is derrière la maison — behind the house. Let's say it: derrière. As a group: derrière la maison. What's derrière your house at home? Maybe a mango tree or a bicycle? Next is 'devant,' meaning 'in front of.' Look — the cat is devant la chaise, in front of the chair. Say it: devant. All together: devant la chaise. Our last word for today is 'entre,' which means 'between.' See the boxes? The ball is entre les boîtes — between the boxes. Repeat: entre. Try it: entre les boîtes. Imagine a pencil on your desk — is it entre your books? Wonderful job today, everyone! We've learned six French position words: sur, sous, à côté de, derrière, devant, and entre. Try practicing at home by describing where things are in your house using these words. In our next lesson, we'll use them in short sentences. À bientôt!
Wow, great job everyone! First, we learned the names of everyday objects. We have 'maison' which means house, 'table' for table, and 'chaise' for chair. Can you point to a chair near you and say 'chaise'? We also learned 'porte' for door, 'livre' for book, 'ballon' for ball, and 'chat' for cat. These are things you see around your home every day — just say them in French! Next, we learned position words — words that tell us where something is. 'Sur' means on, 'sous' means under, and 'à côté de' means next to. Le chat is sur la table? Or sous la table? We also learned 'derrière' for behind, 'devant' for in front of, and 'entre' for between. Imagine your book is between the cup and the plate — you would say le livre est entre la tasse et l'assiette. You can describe where things are in French! That's amazing. Practice at home — point to objects and say their French names, and tell your family where things are using sur, sous, derrière, and the others. Thank you for your hard work today, everyone. You should be very proud of yourselves. À bientôt — see you next time!
