Welcome to week 2 of our French Spoken Challenge (A1). To learn more about the challenge, please read the challenge introduction here.
How to use the CI Clouds: Obviously, you can read the tutorial here, but if you can’t be asked, here’s how it works:
-
Take a few words;
-
Use positive, negative, interrogative (+,-,?) forms of each sentence;
-
Generate hundreds of sentences easily.'
For example, I + understand + (French / Spanish / English) =
1) I understand French.
2) I understand Spanish.
3) I understand English.
4) I don’t understand French.
5) I don’t understand Spanish.
6) I don’t understand English.
7) Do I understand French?
8) Do I understand Spanish?
9) Do I understand English?
The amount of spoken sentences that can be generated quickly is crazy, for example adding you to the above examples would generate another 9 sentences. This kind of exercise is excellent for improving spoken French without a partner. I’ll include an exercise for each lesson.
