Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.
Each word is read twice — say it back in the gap. Computer-generated voice; credits on the course page.
The exit page of the unit: your whole day with times, reflexives and ordinary verbs together. Je me réveille à sept heures. Je m'habille et je mange. Je vais à l'école. Je me couche à huit heures et demie.
Say it, then write it — six sentences, true of a real school day or work day.
tous les jours means every day; toute la journée means all day long. Both live near 'all day', and they are not the same phrase.
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.
Turn this lesson’s words into flashcards, then space your reviews — the two habits the research behind our study guides backs hardest.
