Bienvenue!
We will explore the French language and culture by following the lives of real students from
the University of Texas who have participated in the UT Summer Program in Lyon, France. In
addition to following the exploits of these UT students, we will also watch interviews of native
French speakers, as well as scenes of day-to-day interactions in France.

 Chapitre prliminaire

Watch the introductory video to Franais Interactif. Where are the UT students?
As you can see from this video, Franais Interactif will help you explore the French
language and culture by following the lives of real UT students who participated in the UT
Summer Program in Lyon, France. The UT students will introduce you to their French
host families, their French university, and their lives in France. Keep in mind as you
watch these students that they were in your position only a year ago--enrolled in begin-
ning French! This program shows you that it IS possible to learn French well enough to
communicate with native speakers.

In addition to following the exploits of these UT students, you will also watch videos of
native French speakers as well as scenes of day-to-day interactions (e.g., vendors in the
market, waiters at a caf, children getting ready to go to school, etc.). A bilingual family in
Austin will bridge the gap between UT and France and French-speaking critters will help
you learn with Texs French Grammar. Bienvenue! We hope you will enjoy studying
French with Franais Interactif.
