Nyah’s Lesson Dec. 11 #

Vous allez ecrire des notes.

Why do I have to take notes?*

She picked a gender neutral name for a character who was the object of a guy’s affections because she didn’t have enough information about the guy. Interesting and quite modern, quite generation Z.

Il se promene

he walks*

Je ne peux pas me marier avec vous parce que j’ai un copain.

Aaah. Ooooh.

il court chez lui  

ran*

Il veut toujours se marier.

Who? Rex or Alex?*

Deux minutes plus tard Ronald est mort.

Oh, no^

Vous venez ici pour dormir?

well, people learn a language in their sleep*

(this shows her maintenance of a sense of humor throughout the lesson)

moi je vous aime aussi

I love you too (but after a lot of struggle. When we move away from a flow of speech where she clearly understands as evinced by her responses, she bogs down in perfectionism)

Il se promene sur la plage

beach*

As we finished it became apparent that this was not working any better than the previous one. Too many new words, a strange story line, but she tried mightily to hang with it. 

deux minutes lui restent a vivre

of life*

ils se marient

they get married*

et apres

after*

Ronald est mort

R is dead*

It was great and it was all oral, you couldn’t see it.

The next step will be to rewrite this in French.

We talked about another story. and she suggested a Christmas tree and we talked about decorating.

She was leaving on a trip. 

What does this mean? Il veut se marier

He wants to get married*

What level do you think that is?
