A. Avant de lire. As you start to read in French, you will certainly not understand
every word. However, do not let this discourage you. One important sfra0egy is to
pay attention to the kind of reading you are doing and make use of what you
already know. For example, this reading asks you to look at envelopes and
postcards addressed to various places in the Franeophone world. Before looking at
them, make a list of the information you expect to find on an addressed envelope.
How does this compare with what you see on the envelopes and postcards?

B. En lisant. As you look more closely at the envelopes and postcards at the top
: of p. 11, you will find that you understand a number of words because their form
and meaning are so similar in French and English. These words are called cognates
(mots apparent6s). Examples in the addresses include avenue and R6publique.
Make a list of all the cognates that you find in the addresses and provide the
English equivalent for each.

C. En regardarlt de plus prEs.

1. Given the context and its similarity to English, what do yori think the phrase
Boite Postale means?
z. Given the context, what do you think the word rue means?
g. Provide the full forms in French for the following abbreviations:
M. Mlle Mme B.P.
+. Although you do not see the word code postal in the above addresses, most
lr of them have one. What do you think a code postal is? What is the code
postal for Abidjan, for Tours, for Vieux-Qu6bec? What is different about
the code postal for this last city?
5. Some of the envelopes include the words destinataire and exp6diteur.
What do you think those terms mean?

Merci
In English, if someone says Thank you we freqtently reply with You're
welcome.In French it is much less common to reply to Merci. Sometimes,
however, in formal contexts you may hear the reply Je vous en prie. In (-
less formal contexts, a French speaker might say De rien or II n'y a pas de
quoi. In Canadian French the response to Merci is Bienvenue.

The Sons et leitres section,

filllllililliltflllii...
including the practice activities, is
Les modes articulatoires du le rr.,thme
recorded on the Student audio CD.
French speech is organized in terms ofrhythmic groups, short phrases usually
two to six syllables long. In English, some syllables within words are stronger
than others. Compare (the strongest syllable appears in boldface):
rcpeet listen Chicago Minneopolis
In French, all of the syllables have the same strength, that is, they receive the
same degree of stress. The last syllable tends to be longer but is not much
stronger than the others. Listen as your teacher pronounces corresponding
English and French words. In English, the syllables that are not stressed are
usually short, and their vowel is the blurry, short vowel found, for example, in
the last syllable of words llke bogus, furnace, sofa. When you pronounce the
French word, you will find it useful to count out the rhythm or tap it out with
your finger.

 Predicting the gender of nouns
Since the gender of a noun is not always predictable, it is a good idea to
tthr . ,i

memorize the gender of each new word that you learn. For example, learn
une affiche rather than affiche or l'affiche. The following guidelines will rHliluul$|lL,[^

help you identify the gender of many nouns.

-
Nouns designating females are usually feminine and nouns designating -
males are usually masculine:
ri

l'6tudiante the (female) student / l'6tudiant the (male) student il

ll
la dame the lady / le monsieur the man
I

The names of languages are masculine:

-le frangais French le cr6ole Creole I
E
\E
Words recently borrowed from other languages are generally masculine:
-le marketins le yoga le rap le tennis

Some endings are good predictors of the gender of nouns:

MASCULTNE ENDINGS: -eau, -o, -isme

le tableau, le stylo, le socialisme
FEMININE ENDINGs: -ion, -t6
la nation, la t6l6vision, la libert6, la quantit6

Although you may have heard that nouns ending in -e are feminine. this is not
W
the case. About half the nouns ending in -e are feminine and the other half are
masculine!

Iialphabet et les accents

Here are the letters of the alphabet together with thefu pronunciation in
French.

a (a) h (ach) o (o) u (u)

b (b6) i (i) p (p6) v (v6)
c (s6) i CIi) q (ku) w (double v6)
d (d6) k (ka) r (Er) x (iks)
e (eu) l (br) s (ds) y (i grec)
f (b0 m (dm) t (t6) z (zdd)
c (6) n (bn)

Accents and other diacritics are an integral part ofFrench spelling.

. Llaccent aigu is used with e to represent the vowel /e/ off6vrier:

Andr6 Val6rie une 6tudiante r6p6tez fril{i
. L'accent grave is used with e to represent the vowel /e/ of la rbgle:
la rbgle H6lEne
It is also used with a and u to differentiate words:
la the vs. ld there ov or vs. oit where
. L'accent circonflexe can be used with all five vowel letters. It often
marks the loss of the sound /s/ at an earlier stage of French. The s is still
present in English words borrowed from French before that loss occurred:
lapite paste labilte beast le maitre master
lacdte coast cotter to cost l'h6pital hospital
. Le tr6ma indicates that vowel letters in a group are pronounced
individually:
toi vs. Loic /lo-ik/ s'il vous plait vs. Hditi la-i-tl
. La c6dille indicates that c is to be pronounced as /s/ rather than /k/ before
the vowel letters a, o, or u:
qa frangais Frangoise

 Plurals of articles
The plural form of the definite article is always les, which is pronounced
le livre the book les livres the books
la chaise the chair les chaises the chairs

The plural form of the indefinite article is always des, which is pronounced -e
un cahier a notebook des cahiers notebooks. some notel, ,

une affiche q poster des affiches posters, sotne poster,

In English, plural nouns often appear without any article; in French, an ar -

almost always accompanies the noun:

Il y a des livres ici. There are books here.
J'aime les affiches. I like posters.
Before a vowel sound, the -s of les and des is pronotnced as lzl:
les chaises vs. les images des bureaux vs. des ordinateurs
lzl lz'l

 The answer is False; give yourself two points if you answerecl
corectly. In a Francophone country, not necessarily everyone
speaks French. In some countries, French is hoth an oflicial
language (used in government and education) and a vernacular
language (used in everyday communication). Belgium is an
example of a country in which French is both an otficial and a
vernacular language. In Haiti, on the other hand, French serves as
one of two official languages, but is spoken by only about 157o
of the population. The vernacular language of the majority of
Haitians is Haitian Creole.

Numb.er,3

The answer is True; two points if you answered correctly. Since
1968, French and English have been declared official languages
in Louisiana. Somewhere between a quarter million and a half
million Cajun speakers live in the bayou region of southwest
Louisiana. llllllh

Itil

le S6n6gal Number 4
Two points if you answered True. Philosophers such
as Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Rousseau, had a
profound effect on the politics of the era. Both
Benjamin Franklin and Thomas JefTerson spoke
French and lived for a time in Paris, meeting many of
the great French thinkers of the day. The int-luence of
French philosophers is seen in our own United States
$ Constitution: the notion of separation of executive,
legislative, andjudicial powers is an idea developed
by Montesquieu in his work L'Esprit des lois (The
Spirit of laws).

for either, four points if you answered both! In 1970

several African nations joined to form an economic
entity that would promote technology and culture
across French-speaking countries. The current
Agency for Francophony was founded after a series
of developments: France disentangled itself from its
last colony and became a champion of the Third
la Polyn6sie World in the West; reactions grew to the
predominance of American entertainment on the world's airwaves; Canada struggled with
how to accommodate Quebec's reaffirmation of its French cultural roots without tearing the
country apart. The first meeting of the organization took place in 1986, and recent meetings
have seen more than fifty delegations present.
