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
The forum post is the informal twin of the letter, and B1 exams love it. It needs an opinion, a reason and an example — in that order, in about 160 words.
Et aussi · And also
Personnellement, je trouve que... opens it. Par exemple, la semaine dernière... grounds it. Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous? hands it back. Tu or vous depends on the forum, and consistency matters more than the choice.
Attention · Watch out
qu'en pensez-vous ? uses en for 'of it'. The space before ? is French typography, not a typo — it sits before ?, !, : and ; alike.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the French spelling alone — begin with personnellement.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the French.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 28 in Module 7 are the written half of this page.
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.
