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 unit's exit: your future, in the futur simple, with opinions. Quand je serai grand, je serai vétérinaire parce que j'adore les animaux. J'aurai un grand chien. J'habiterai près de la mer.
Le rêve — the dream. Write three of yours; the future tense exists for them.
A job after être takes no article: je serai vétérinaire, never je serai un vétérinaire. The habit starts here and holds for every job in French.
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.
