We continued with our travel unit today!
- We reviewed some vocabulary that we learned from the Canada videos (see Quizlet)
- We learned when to use the prepositions en/au/aux/à (meaning "to")
En
- feminine (la)
- masculine but starts with a vowel
Au
- masculine (le)
À
- cities
- islands
Aux
- plural (les)
e.g.
If you want to say "I want to travel to _______ "
Le Canada = Au Canada
La Nouvelle-Écosse = En Nouvelle Écosse
Victoria = À Victoria
Les Territoires-du-Nord-Ouest = Aux Territoires-du-Nord-Ouest
* Replace the le/la/les with the preposition!
Just like in the last unit: Jouer au volleyball NOT
Je veux voyager au Canada
Je veux voyager en Nouvelle-Écosse
Je veux voyager à Victoria
Je veux voyager aux Territoires-du-Nord-Ouest
- We reviewed how to add the negative (like headphones around verb1)
e.g. Je ne veux pas voyager au Nunavut
(*Tip! To sound more 'French' we don't pronounce the "e" on "ne." Sounds like: Je n'veux pah)
- We did a mini-speaking activity and listening activity with your maps of Canada.
Don't forget to pronounce places à la française, putting emphasis on the end of the word.
e.g.
instead of VANcouver -> we say VancouVER
instead of EDmonton -> we say EdmonTON
instead of OTTawa -> we say OttaWA
We finished class with a Kahoot to practice!
Don't forget to do your daily homework of Duolingo!
