1. Why Learn French? | 为什么学习法语?
French is spoken by more than 300 million people on every continent. It is an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, UNESCO and the International Olympic Committee. Learning French connects you to a global community and opens doors to travel, study and work opportunities.
法语在全球各大洲有超过 3 亿人使用,是联合国、欧盟、教科文组织和国际奥委会的官方语言。学习法语让你与全球社群相连,也为旅行、深造和职业发展打开大门。
Beyond practical reasons, French is the language of literature, cinema, cuisine and fashion. Reading ‘Le Petit Prince’ in its original words, understanding a French film without subtitles or ordering a croissant in a Parisian café becomes possible. It is a skill that enriches your life and broadens your horizons.
除了实用性,法语更是文学、电影、美食与时尚的语言。能原汁原味地阅读《小王子》、无需字幕看懂一部法国电影、在巴黎咖啡馆点一个可颂,都将成为触手可及的体验。这项技能会丰富你的生活,拓宽你的视野。
2. Greetings and Introductions | 问候与介绍
Your first step in French is learning how to greet people and introduce yourself. Start with ‘Bonjour’ (Hello / Good morning) during the day and ‘Bonsoir’ (Good evening) later on. To ask how someone is, say ‘Comment ça va ?’ and reply with ‘Ça va bien, merci’ (I’m fine, thanks) or ‘Ça va mal’ (I’m not doing well).
学习法语的第一步是掌握问候与自我介绍。白天用 ‘Bonjour’(你好/早上好),晚上用 ‘Bonsoir’(晚上好)。询问对方近况时说 ‘Comment ça va ?’,可以回答 ‘Ça va bien, merci’(我很好,谢谢)或 ‘Ça va mal’(不太好)。
| French | English | 中文 |
| Bonjour | Hello / Good morning | 你好 / 早上好 |
| Salut | Hi (informal) | 嗨(非正式) |
| Je m’appelle… | My name is… | 我叫… |
| Et toi ? | And you? (informal) | 你呢?(非正式) |
| Au revoir | Goodbye | 再见 |
Practise asking ‘Comment tu t’appelles ?’ (What’s your name?) and answering ‘Je m’appelle Marie.’ Notice the apostrophe in ‘m’appelle’ – it replaces the ‘e’ of ‘me’ before a vowel, a feature you will see often in French.
练习提问 ‘Comment tu t’appelles ?’(你叫什么名字?),并回答 ‘Je m’appelle Marie.’。注意 ‘m’appelle’ 中的省音撇,它在元音前替代了 ‘me’ 的 ‘e’,这是法语中常见的现象。
3. Numbers, Dates and Ages | 数字、日期与年龄
Numbers are essential for sharing your age, telephone numbers and dates. Learn the numbers from 1 to 20 first: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt. Notice that 17, 18 and 19 are built by combining ten plus seven, eight and nine.
数字对于表达年龄、电话号码和日期至关重要。先掌握 1 到 20:un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt。注意 17、18、19 是由十加七、八、九组合而成。
To say how old you are, use ‘J’ai … ans.’ J’ai onze ans (I am 11 years old). Literally it means ‘I have 11 years’, which is an important difference from English. Asking ‘Quel âge as-tu ?’ will help you find out someone’s age.
表达年龄用 ‘J’ai … ans.’,如 J’ai onze ans(我 11 岁)。字面意思是“我有 11 年”,这与英语很不同。用 ‘Quel âge as-tu ?’ 可以询问对方的年龄。
Months of the year – janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août, septembre, octobre, novembre, décembre – will allow you to talk about your birthday. Combine them with ‘Mon anniversaire est le…’ (My birthday is on the…). For example, ‘Mon anniversaire est le trois juillet.’
月份名称——janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août, septembre, octobre, novembre, décembre——能让你谈论生日。将它们与 ‘Mon anniversaire est le…’(我的生日是……)组合,如 ‘Mon anniversaire est le trois juillet.’(我的生日是 7 月 3 日)。
4. Colours and Adjectives | 颜色与形容词
Colours bring your descriptions to life. Start with rouge (red), bleu (blue), vert (green), jaune (yellow), noir (black), blanc (white), rose (pink) and gris (grey). Remember that colours often change their spelling depending on whether the noun they describe is masculine, feminine or plural – bleu becomes bleue for feminine, vert becomes verte.
颜色为描述注入生命力。从 rouge(红色)、bleu(蓝色)、vert(绿色)、jaune(黄色)、noir(黑色)、blanc(白色)、rose(粉色)和 gris(灰色)开始。要记住,颜色常因所修饰名词的性、数而改变拼写——bleu 的阴性形式为 bleue,vert 变为 verte。
Adjectives in French usually come after the noun, unlike in English. ‘Une voiture rouge’ means ‘a red car’, literally ‘a car red’. Practice describing classroom objects: ‘un stylo bleu’ (a blue pen), ‘une trousse jaune’ (a yellow pencil case).
法语形容词通常置于名词之后,这与英语不同。’Une voiture rouge’ 意为“一辆红色的汽车”,字面顺序为“一辆汽车红色的”。试着描述文具:’un stylo bleu’(一支蓝色钢笔),’une trousse jaune’(一个黄色笔袋)。
5. Family and Pets | 家庭与宠物
Talking about your family is a great way to connect with others. Learn the core members: ma mère (my mother), mon père (my father), mon frère (my brother), ma sœur (my sister), ma grand-mère (my grandmother) and mon grand-père (my grandfather). Notice that ‘my’ changes to ma before feminine words and mon before masculine ones.
谈论家庭是与人建立联系的好方式。学习核心成员:ma mère(我的母亲)、mon père(我的父亲)、mon frère(我的兄弟)、ma sœur(我的姐妹)、ma grand-mère(我的祖母)和 mon grand-père(我的祖父)。注意“我的”在阴性词前用 ma,在阳性词前用 mon。
Pets are often part of the family too. Un chien (a dog), un chat (a cat), un poisson (a fish), un lapin (a rabbit) and un oiseau (a bird) are useful words. You can say ‘J’ai un chat’ (I have a cat) or ‘Je n’ai pas d’animal’ (I don’t have a pet).
宠物也常是家庭的一员。Un chien(狗)、un chat(猫)、un poisson(鱼)、un lapin(兔子)和 un oiseau(鸟)都是有用的词汇。可以说 ‘J’ai un chat’(我有一只猫)或 ‘Je n’ai pas d’animal’(我没有宠物)。
To describe family members, combine adjectives: ‘Mon frère est grand et amusant’ (My brother is tall and funny). Remember the adjective placement after the noun.
描述家人时,可以组合形容词:’Mon frère est grand et amusant’(我的兄弟又高又风趣)。记住形容词放在名词之后。
6. School Subjects and Routines | 学校科目与日常
Your Year 7 timetable will include many subjects. In French, le français (French), les mathématiques or les maths (maths), l’anglais (English), les sciences (science), l’histoire (history), la géographie (geography), la musique (music), l’EPS (PE) and l’art (art) are the basics. Le and la mean ‘the’.
你的七年级课程表会包含许多科目。法语科目有:le français(法语)、les mathématiques 或 les maths(数学)、l’anglais(英语)、les sciences(科学)、l’histoire(历史)、la géographie(地理)、la musique(音乐)、l’EPS(体育)和 l’art(美术)。Le 和 la 表示“这个/那个”。
Talking about your school day, learn ‘Le lundi’ (on Monday), ‘J’ai maths le mardi’ (I have maths on Tuesdays). Use ‘J’aime’ (I like) and ‘Je n’aime pas’ (I don’t like) to express opinions: ‘J’aime l’art parce que c’est créatif.’
谈论学校日常时,学习 ‘Le lundi’(在星期一),’J’ai maths le mardi’(星期二我有数学课)。用 ‘J’aime’(我喜欢)和 ‘Je n’aime pas’(我不喜欢)表达观点:’J’aime l’art parce que c’est créatif.’(我喜欢美术,因为它富有创造力)。
Your classroom instructions will include ‘Écoutez’ (Listen), ‘Répétez’ (Repeat), ‘Levez la main’ (Raise your hand) and ‘Ouvrez vos cahiers’ (Open your exercise books). Recognising these will help you settle in quickly.
课堂指令将包括 ‘Écoutez’(听)、’Répétez’(重复)、’Levez la main’(举手)和 ‘Ouvrez vos cahiers’(打开练习本)。熟悉这些指令能帮你快速适应。
7. Understanding Gender and Articles | 理解性与冠词
All French nouns are either masculine or feminine. This affects the words for ‘the’ and ‘a’. For masculine nouns, use le (the) and un (a/an). For feminine nouns, use la and une. If a word starts with a vowel or a silent h, l’ is used instead of le or la. Plural nouns use les (the) and des (some).
所有法语名词都有阳性或阴性之分,这会影响冠词的形式。阳性名词用 le(定冠词)和 un(一个);阴性名词用 la 和 une。如果单词以元音或不发音的 h 开头,用 l’ 代替 le 或 la。复数名词使用 les(定冠词)和 des(一些)。
| Type | Masculine | Feminine | Before vowel | Plural |
| the | le livre (book) | la porte (door) | l’ami (friend) | les livres |
| a/an | un stylo (pen) | une gomme (eraser) | un ami | des stylos |
There is no simple rule for knowing every noun’s gender, so it is best to learn each new word with its article. Say ‘un cahier’, not just ‘cahier’. This habit will make French grammar much easier later.
没有简单的规则能判断所有名词的性,因此最好每次学习新词时一同记住其冠词。说 ‘un cahier’,而不仅仅是 ‘cahier’。这个习惯会让以后的语法学习轻松得多。
8. Essential Verbs: ‘être’ and ‘avoir’ | 基础动词:‘être’ 和 ‘avoir’
The two most important verbs in French are être (to be) and avoir (to have). They are irregular but used constantly. Learn the present tense forms: je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont for être; j’ai, tu as, il/elle a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont for avoir.
法语中最重要的两个动词是 être(是)和 avoir(有)。它们是不规则动词,但使用频率极高。熟记现在时变位:être – je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont;avoir – j’ai, tu as, il/elle a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont。
Use être to describe people and things: ‘Je suis anglais(e).’ (I am English), ‘La maison est grande.’ (The house is big). Avoir helps with age, possessions and some feelings: ‘J’ai faim.’ (I am hungry, literally I have hunger), ‘Nous avons un chien.’ (We have a dog).
用 être 描述人和事物:’Je suis anglais(e).’(我是英国人),’La maison est grande.’(房子很大)。Avoir 用于表达年龄、拥有和某些感受:’J’ai faim.’(我饿了,字面意思是“我有饥饿”),’Nous avons un chien.’(我们有一条狗)。
Writing these out as a chart will help. Try making flashcards with the pronoun on one side and the correct form on the other. Even a few minutes a day of verb practice builds a solid foundation.
将这些变位制成表格很有帮助。尝试制作一面是人称代词、另一面是正确变位的闪卡。每天几分钟的动词练习就能打下扎实的基础。
9. Pronunciation and Accents | 发音与重音符号
French pronunciation can seem tricky at first, but a few key rules will unlock it. Final consonants are often silent: in ‘chat’, the ‘t’ is not pronounced; ‘Paris’ sounds like ‘Pah-ree’. The letter ‘h’ is always silent. Nasal sounds like in ‘pain’ (bread) and ‘bon’ (good) are made by letting air pass through your nose.
法语发音一开始可能颇具挑战,但掌握几个关键规则就能迎刃而解。词尾辅音通常不发音:’chat’ 中的 ‘t’ 不发音;’Paris’ 读作“巴-黑”。字母 ‘h’ 总是不发音。鼻音如 ‘pain’(面包)和 ‘bon’(好)需要让气流从鼻腔通过。
Accents change the sound or meaning of a letter. The acute accent (é) gives an ‘ay’ sound as in ‘café’. The grave accent (è) sounds like ‘eh’ as in ‘très’. The circumflex (ê) often marks a missing ‘s’ from old French, as in ‘forêt’ (forest). The cedilla (ç) softens the ‘c’ before ‘a’, ‘o’, ‘u’ – ‘ça’ sounds like ‘sa’.
重音符号会改变字母的发音或意义。闭口音符(é)发出类似“诶”的音,如 ‘café’;开口音符(è)发“哎”音,如 ‘très’;长音符(ê)常标示古法语中丢失的 ‘s’,如 ‘forêt’(森林);软音符(ç)在 ‘a’, ‘o’, ‘u’ 前软化 ‘c’ 的发音——’ça’ 读作“萨”。
Practise the difference between ‘ou’ (or/where) and ‘où’ (where) – the accent changes meaning. Listening to simple French songs or cartoons will train your ear naturally.
区别练习 ‘ou’(或者)和 ‘où’(哪里)——重音改变词义。听简单的法语歌曲或动画片能自然而然地训练你的听力。
10. Classroom Language | 课堂用语
Being able to express basic needs in French will boost your confidence. Memorise phrases like ‘Excusez-moi’ (Excuse me), ‘Je ne comprends pas’ (I don’t understand), ‘Répétez, s’il vous plaît’ (Repeat, please) and ‘Puis-je aller aux toilettes ?’ (May I go to the toilet?).
能用法语表达基本需求会增强你的自信。熟记以下短语:’Excusez-moi’(对不起/打扰一下),’Je ne comprends pas’(我不明白),’Répétez, s’il vous plaît’(请重复一遍)和 ‘Puis-je aller aux toilettes ?’(我可以去洗手间吗?)。
Your teacher will often say ‘Taisez-vous’ (Be quiet), ‘Regardez le tableau’ (Look at the board) and ‘Écrivez la date’ (Write the date). Knowing these prevents confusion and helps you follow lessons smoothly.
老师会常说 ‘Taisez-vous’(安静),’Regardez le tableau’(看黑板)和 ‘Écrivez la date’(写下日期)。掌握这些指令可以避免困惑,让你顺利跟上课堂。
Keep a list of these phrases in your notebook. Using them from day one shows your effort and willingness to communicate, even if you make small mistakes.
把这些短语清单记在笔记本里。从第一天起就尝试使用,哪怕有小错误,也体现出你的努力和交流意愿。
11. Cultural Discovery: La Francophonie | 文化发现:法语国家与地区
French is not confined to France. It is an official language in 29 countries, from Switzerland and Belgium to Canada, Senegal, Haiti and Vietnam. This worldwide community is called La Francophonie. The AQA course often celebrates this diversity through festivals, food and traditions.
法语并不仅限于法国。它是 29 个国家的官方语言,从瑞士、比利时到加拿大、塞内加尔、海地和越南。这个全球性社群被称为“法语国家与地区”(La Francophonie)。AQA 课程常常通过节日、美食和传统来展现这种多样性。
Exploring where French is spoken gives you a taste of different cultures. In Quebec, you might enjoy poutine; in Senegal, thieboudienne; in Morocco, tagine. Listening to music from different Francophone artists broadens your cultural awareness and motivates your learning.
探索法语的分布能让你领略不同文化。在魁北克,你可以品尝普丁;在塞内加尔,品尝鱼饭;在摩洛哥,品尝塔吉锅。听不同法语国家艺术家的音乐能拓宽文化意识,并激发学习动力。
During summer, research a Francophone country that interests you. Find its flag, capital, a traditional dish and a famous person. This kind of personal project makes the language feel real.
暑假里,研究一个你感兴趣的法语国家。找到其国旗、首都、一道传统菜肴和一位名人。这种个人项目会让这门语言变得更真实。
12. Your Summer Study Plan and Bridging Tips | 暑期学习计划与衔接建议
Summer is the perfect time to build gentle habits. Aim for 10–15 minutes a day. Use free apps, YouTube videos or a simple phrasebook. Label items around your house with sticky notes: ‘la fenêtre’ on the window, ‘la porte’ on the door. This passive exposure works wonders.
暑期是培养温和学习习惯的最佳时机。每天花 10 到 15 分钟。使用免费应用、YouTube 视频或简单的短语手册。用便利贴在家具上标注法语:窗户上贴 ‘la fenêtre’,门上贴 ‘la porte’。这种被动接触会产生奇效。
Make a mini notebook for new words. Divide it into topics: greetings, numbers, colours, family, school. Write each new word with its article and a simple sentence. Listen to a French song and try to pick out words you recognise. Start with ‘Bonjour, ça va ?’ from a children’s song.
准备一本迷你生词本,按主题划分:问候、数字、颜色、家庭、学校。每个新词连同冠词和一个简单句子一起写下。听一首法语歌,试着找出你认识的单词。可以从儿歌 ‘Bonjour, ça va ?’ 开始。
The most important bridging tip is to stay curious, not perfect. Mistakes are part of learning. Celebrate every new word and every attempt at speaking. Before you know it, you will be ready to say ‘Bonjour, je m’appelle … et j’adore le français!’
最重要的衔接建议是保持好奇心,而非追求完美。错误是学习的一部分。庆祝每一个新词和每一次开口尝试。不知不觉中,你就会准备好说出 ‘Bonjour, je m’appelle … et j’adore le français!’(你好,我叫……我热爱法语!)。
