User talk:Serge/French

That sounds good - I'm a bit iffy about leaving out the pure grammar lessons entirely, though - I don't think it's possible to have adequate grammar if grammar lessons are disposed of entirely - but I am all for having grammar more integrated into the topic of the lesson. Maybe occasionally have a 'Grammar Lesson'?

Perhaps expand Petit(e)s Ami(e)s into just "relationships" - so can talk about relationships with families, friends, etc.

Maybe have a revision lesson (+quizlet) every three lessons or so?

Here are some lesson suggestions - if I seem to be duplicating, it might be because I think there should be more in that topic than you are currently suggesting:

Beginners

 * Ca va? (perhaps have some material from la corps here, but it should be fairly early in the lessons)
 * Quelle heure est-il? - What's the time? (inc. 24 hour time)
 * Months and Days - Birthdays, Saints' days, seasons. (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
 * Decris-toi! - Describe yourself (personality and looks, also be able to describe others)
 * Je suis perdu! - I'm lost! (Asking where places are, directions)

Intermediate/Advanced
Can I please suggest some lesson subjects? (pinched from the Board of Studies, NSW, Australia).. ;) see for more info/ideas. Thanks! - 220.237.30.150 23:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
 * "Relationships" - do you get on with your family/friends, what kind of a friend are you, talk about your relationship with your petit(e) ami(e).
 * "School Life and Aspirations" - what kind of career do you want in the future, what are your favourite subjects and why, do you learn well from your profs, etc.
 * "Young Person's World" - pop culture, mass media, politics, what they think of fashion, if they have a part-time job.
 * "Leisure and Interests" - hobbies, leisure, past hobbies, technology, mobile/cell phones
 * "Daily Life/Lifestyles" - self explicatory, really.
 * "Controversial Issues" - again, fairly self explicatory.
 * "Quand j'etais petit(e)" - talk about yourself as a child. (learn the past tense for stuff that's dead and gone)

French overhaul
Hey there. I am a Wikipedian new to Wikibooks but I found the French book and I must say, it is indeed in need of a dire overhaul. Once you return from your vacance, please contact me at my talk page on WP. I would be more than happy to partner up with you for such an endeavor.
