Salut (Greetings); Context
Travel families. This week was an enjoyable seminar about the French language.
This seminar was an important seminar, because if I get the chance to go to
Paris, I will have to speak French to interact with Paris’ citizens And I think I have a head start by going to this seminar. During the
seminar, we learned how to speak French by numbers, greetings, colors, and by
telling time. The French language and the America language are similar in so
many ways. To show the common French words in the English language, I made a
chart that explain the two similarities.

As you can see there are French words that we use everyday and you probably
didn't know that it came from the French language. These are only a limited amount
of words that is spelled the same in French and English language. Theirs also
words like genre meaning type of
movie or book, encore meaning another
performance, and hors d’oeuvres
which means appetizers. If you want to remember French easier, just
remember this step.
The only step you have to
remember when speaking French is that the “t” is always silent at the end of
the word. For example, the word ballet will be pronounced as /bælˈeɪ/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmPXbEdZQJY. As you was able to hear the pronouncing of the word, the “t” was silent and
had no effect on the word.
French is no doubt a hard language to master and it can get confusing. However,
if you remember the step that I gave you, then you will be closer to mastering
the French language.
I had fun learning a new language and being able to teach what I learned
to my family and friends. Merci (Thank You) to Ms.Bowie for the lesson on
French language and culture and also thank you to Ms. Everett and Context
Travel for the opportunity to do these seminars, I am learning new information every
time I go to the seminars. Adieu! (Farewell!) bloggers, I learned a lot about
the French language and I hoped that you did too. “Au revoir!” (Goodbye!)
