Here’s a song to welcome you back to French learning. Click here.
Now we’re going to recap the names of some fruits with this song.Click here.
Here are the fruit words (pronunciation in brackets):
une pomme (oon pom) – an apple; Une banane (oon banan) – a banana; un orange ( un oronj) – an orange; une poire (oon pwar) – a pear; une fraise (oon frez) – a strawberry; un ananas (un anana) – a pineapple.
Here’s a game to practise the fruit words. Collect some pieces of fruit or draw some on bits of paper.
One of you puts a hat on and the other balances a piece of fruit or a picture on the hat without the hat wearer seeing what it is. The one wearing the hat has to guess what kind of fruit it is – in French of course!
See if you can ask for your fruit in French this week. Une pomme, s’il te plait. (oon pom seel tuh play).
Merci beaucoup. A bientot. See you soon!
