Hear the words
Each word is read twice — say it back in the gap. Computer-generated voice; credits on the course page.
La règle · The rule
At C1 you must be able to say where an idea came from without breaking your own sentence. Selon X, comme le note Y, ainsi que le rappelle Z.
Et aussi · And also
Two verbs are worth having exactly: rappeler (to remind, i.e. the point is established) and avancer (to put forward, i.e. it is the author's own claim). Choosing between them is itself an argument.
Attention · Watch out
rappeler (the point is established) and avancer (the author's own claim) are not interchangeable; choose the one that is true of the source. emprunter is to borrow, never to lend.
rappeler — the table
je rappelle · tu rappelles · il/elle rappelle · nous rappelons · vous rappelez · ils/elles rappellent
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the French spelling alone — begin with comme le note.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the French.
Write out rappeler in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The French Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
