French Club

Bienvenue au club français

Here you can find words, songs, phrases, weblinks and more to help you progress with French in between our weekly sessions. There is a section that is relevant to both clubs and then a section that is for KS1 club and KS2 club but of course you can look at it all! Amusez vous.

Both clubs

Key stage 1

Key stage 2

Both clubs

Here are some phrases we regularly use in both groups. You can practice them at home with a member of your family:

Ça va?	How are you?
Oui ça va bien merci.	I’m fine thank you.
Bonjour	Hello
Bon après-midi	Good afternoon
Au revoir	Good bye
A la semaine prochaine.	See you next week.
Merci	Thank you
S’il vous plaît	Please (formal version when talking to an adult)
S’il te plaît	Please (informal version when talking to a friend who is your age)
Comment on dit…?	How do you say …?
Je voudrais...	I would like...
J'aime...	I like/love
Je n'aime pas...	I don't like/I don't love

LE/LA

In French, you always have to put the word ' le' or ' la' in front of a noun. In English we only say 'the' so it's harder in French to remember which word to use! There is no rule, you just have to remember it. Here is a useful video from the BBC website which helps to explain this:

TOPIC OF THE TERM

This term we are learning about being in a restaurant and ordering our food. You can practice saying " Je voudrais des frites s'il vous plaît" (I'd like some chips please") and you can then replace the word with any of the other food we have learnt. How many can you remember?

Here are a few to help you along:

un gâteau/ une glace/ des pâtes/ du sel et du poivre/ une pizza/ des saucisses/ une salade.

We've also learnt to ask how much something costs? Ça coûte combien? Remember that in France, the currency is Euros.
