Starting Year 7 French can feel like stepping into a new world of sounds, words and laughter. This summer bridging guide introduces you to the essentials of the Cambridge Lower Secondary French curriculum. You will build confidence with pronunciation, master everyday phrases, meet the verbs ‘être’ and ‘avoir’, and explore topics like school, family and colours – all before the first lesson begins. Let’s make French feel familiar, friendly and fun.

进入七年级法语学习,就像踏进一个由声音、词汇和欢笑构成的新世界。这份暑期衔接指南将带你熟悉剑桥初中法语课程的基础。你将建立发音信心,掌握日常用语,认识动词“être”和“avoir”,并探索学校、家庭、颜色等话题——全都赶在第一堂课之前。让法语变得亲切、友好又有趣。

1. Why a Summer French Bridge? | 为什么需要暑期法语衔接?

The jump from primary language tasters to a structured Cambridge French course can be steep. A summer bridge helps you absorb key sounds, basic vocabulary and simple sentence patterns at your own pace. This head start means you walk into class already able to greet your teacher, count to twenty and name the colours on your pencil case.

从小学的语言初体验跳到结构化的剑桥法语课程,这一步可能跨度不小。暑期衔接让你按照自己的节奏吸收关键发音、基础词汇和简单句型。这个先发优势意味着你一走进教室就已经能够问候老师、数到二十并说出铅笔盒上的颜色。

Cambridge Year 7 French is designed to build a solid foundation for IGCSE French. By previewing the topics now, you transform anxiety into excitement and can focus on speaking and listening from day one.

剑桥七年级法语旨在为 IGCSE 法语打下扎实基础。现在预习这些话题,你就能把焦虑变成期待,并从第一天起专注于开口说和认真听。


2. Getting Started: French Pronunciation Essentials | 入门关键:法语发音基础

French uses the same alphabet as English but sounds very different. Start by listening carefully to the vowel sounds: ‘ou’ as in “vous” (you) sounds like ‘oo’ in “food”; ‘u’ as in “tu” (you, informal) requires you to say ‘ee’ with rounded lips – a sound English does not have.

法语和英语使用相同的字母,但听起来很不一样。先仔细听元音:“ou”在“vous”(您/你们)中发音类似英文“food”里的“oo”;“u”在“tu”(你)中需要你用圆唇发出“ee”的音——英语里没有这个音。

Nasal vowels are another key feature. Words like “bon” (good), “vin” (wine) and “un” (one) let air pass through your nose. Try saying “bon” while holding your nose – the sound should change. Silent final consonants are the rule: in “parlent” (they speak), the ‘-ent’ is not pronounced.

鼻化元音是另一个关键特征。像“bon”(好)、“vin”(葡萄酒)和“un”(一)这样的词,发音时气流从鼻子通过。试着捏住鼻子说“bon”——声音应该会变化。尾辅音不发音是常规:在“parlent”(他们说话)中,“-ent”不发音。

Practice with simple words: “salut” (hi) sounds like ‘sa-lu’, “merci” (thank you) like ‘mair-see’, and “oui” (yes) like ‘wee’. Record yourself and compare with native audio clips.

用简单的词练习:“salut”(嗨)听起来像‘sa-lu’,“merci”(谢谢)像‘mair-see’,“oui”(是)像‘wee’。把自己的发音录下来,和母语者的音频对比。


3. Greetings and Basic Introductions | 问候与基本介绍

Your first conversation in French will likely start with “Bonjour” (hello/good day) or the casual “Salut”. To ask someone’s name, use “Comment tu t’appelles?” (informal) or “Comment vous vous appelez?” (formal). Answer with “Je m’appelle …” followed by your name.

你的第一段法语对话很可能从“Bonjour”(你好)或随意的“Salut”开始。询问对方名字时,用“Comment tu t’appelles?”(非正式)或“Comment vous vous appelez?”(正式)。回答用“Je m’appelle …”加上你的名字。

You also need “Ça va?” (How’s it going?) and replies: “Ça va bien, merci” (I’m fine, thanks) or “Comme ci, comme ça” (so-so). “Et toi?” (And you?) keeps the talk flowing. Remember that French speakers often exchange “la bise” (cheek kisses) with friends, but a wave is fine for beginners.

你还需要“Ça va?”(过得怎么样?)以及回答:“Ça va bien, merci”(我很好,谢谢)或“Comme ci, comme ça”(马马虎虎)。“Et toi?”(你呢?)能让对话继续。记住法语母语者常和朋友行贴面礼,但对初学者来说挥挥手就可以。


4. Numbers, Days and Months | 数字、星期与月份

Numbers 1–20 are the building blocks for telling time, giving your age and counting. Learn the sequence: un (1), deux (2), trois (3), quatre (4), cinq (5), six (6), sept (7), huit (8), neuf (9), dix (10). Notice the tricky spellings of 11–16: onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize. Then comes 17–19 with a dash: dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf. Twenty is “vingt”.

数字1到20是说时间、报年龄和数数的基石。熟悉这个序列:un(1), deux(2), trois(3), quatre(4), cinq(5), six(6), sept(7), huit(8), neuf(9), dix(10)。留意11–16的拼写:onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize。接着17–19用连字符:dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf。二十是“vingt”。

Days of the week are not capitalised in French: lundi (Monday), mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche. Months are similar to English: janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août, septembre, octobre, novembre, décembre. Practice saying your birthday: “Mon anniversaire est le 3 mai” (My birthday is on the 3rd of May).

星期几在法语中不大写:lundi(星期一)、mardi、mercredi、jeudi、vendredi、samedi、dimanche。月份和英语相似:janvier、février、mars、avril、mai、juin、juillet、août、septembre、octobre、novembre、décembre。练习说自己的生日:“Mon anniversaire est le 3 mai”(我的生日是5月3日)。


5. Colours and Common Adjectives | 颜色与常用形容词

Colours are a perfect way to start describing the world. Most colour adjectives follow the noun in French and agree in gender: a red pen is “un stylo rouge” (masculine), a red car is “une voiture rouge” (feminine – same form here), but some change. Violet (purple) becomes violette in feminine; blanc (white) becomes blanche; vert (green) becomes verte.

颜色是开始描述世界的绝佳切入点。多数颜色形容词在法语中放在名词后面,并与名词的性配合:一支红笔是“un stylo rouge”(阳性),一辆红车是“une voiture rouge”(阴性,此处形式相同),但有些会变。violet(紫色)在阴性时变成violette;blanc(白色)变成blanche;vert(绿色)变成verte。

Build a mini vocabulary bank:

English French (m./f.) 中文
red rouge 红色
blue bleu / bleue 蓝色
yellow jaune 黄色
green vert / verte 绿色
black noir / noire 黑色
white blanc / blanche 白色

Other useful adjectives include grand(e) (big/tall), petit(e) (small), beau/belle (beautiful) and sympathique (nice). Try pairing them with objects: “un petit chat” (a small cat), “une belle maison” (a beautiful house).

其他实用的形容词包括grand(e)(大的/高的)、petit(e)(小的)、beau/belle(美丽的)和sympathique(友好的)。试着把它们和物品搭配:“un petit chat”(一只小猫)、“une belle maison”(一栋漂亮的房子)。


6. The Verbs ‘être’ and ‘avoir’ | 动词“是”与“有”

‘Être’ (to be) and ‘avoir’ (to have) are the most important verbs in French. You cannot build a sentence about yourself or your possessions without them. Start by learning the present tense of être: je suis (I am), tu es (you are), il/elle/on est (he/she/one is), nous sommes (we are), vous êtes (you are, formal/plural), ils/elles sont (they are).

“Être”(是)和“avoir”(有)是法语最重要的动词。没有它们,你无法说出关于自己或自己拥有之物的句子。先学 être 的现在时:je suis(我是)、tu es(你是)、il/elle/on est(他/她/人们是)、nous sommes(我们是)、vous êtes(您/你们是)、ils/elles sont(他们/她们是)。

‘Avoir’ is just as essential: j’ai (I have), tu as (you have), il/elle/on a (he/she/one has), nous avons (we have), vous avez (you have), ils/elles ont (they have). Notice the liaison in “nous avons” (noo-zah-von) and “vous avez” (voo-zah-vay).

“Avoir”同样不可或缺:j’ai(我有)、tu as(你有)、il/elle/on a(他/她/人们有)、nous avons(我们有)、vous avez(您/你们有)、ils/elles ont(他们/她们有)。留意“nous avons”中的联诵(读作 noo-zah-von)和“vous avez”(voo-zah-vay)。

Use these to form simple phrases: “Je suis anglais” (I am English), “J’ai un frère” (I have a brother), “Elle est sympa” (She is nice), “Nous avons un chien” (We have a dog). Practise by describing your family and your belongings.

用这些动词造简单句:“Je suis anglais”(我是英国人)、“J’ai un frère”(我有一个兄弟)、“Elle est sympa”(她很友善)、“Nous avons un chien”(我们有一条狗)。通过描述你的家人和物品来练习。


7. School Life Vocabulary | 校园生活词汇

Year 7 French lessons are full of school-related talk. Build a core set of classroom items: un cahier (exercise book), un stylo (pen), un crayon (pencil), une trousse (pencil case), un sac (bag), une règle (ruler), des ciseaux (scissors), un livre (book). Note that all nouns have a gender – ‘un’ for masculine, ‘une’ for feminine.

七年级法语课到处是校园话题。掌握一组核心课堂物品:un cahier(练习本)、un stylo(笔)、un crayon(铅笔)、une trousse(笔袋)、un sac(书包)、une règle(尺)、des ciseaux(剪刀)、un livre(书)。注意所有名词都有性——阳性用“un”,阴性用“une”。

School subjects are also useful: les maths (maths), l’anglais (English), les sciences (science), l’histoire-géographie (history-geography), le dessin (art), la musique (music). To say you like a subject, say “J’aime le français” (I like French) or “J’adore le sport” (I love sport). To express dislike, use “Je n’aime pas les devoirs” (I don’t like homework).

学科词汇也很实用:les maths(数学)、l’anglais(英语)、les sciences(科学)、l’histoire-géographie(史地)、le dessin(美术)、la musique(音乐)。表达喜欢某个学科时,说“J’aime le français”(我喜欢法语)或“J’adore le sport”(我热爱体育)。表达不喜欢时,说“Je n’aime pas les devoirs”(我不喜欢作业)。


8. Talking About Family | 谈论家庭

Family is a topic that appears early in Cambridge French. Key members include ma mère (my mother), mon père (my father), ma sœur (my sister), mon frère (my brother), ma grand-mère (my grandmother), mon grand-père (my grandfather). Notice the possessive adjectives ‘mon’ (my, masculine) and ‘ma’ (my, feminine) must match the noun’s gender, not the speaker’s.

家庭是剑桥法语课程早期出现的话题。关键成员包括 ma mère(我的母亲)、mon père(我的父亲)、ma sœur(我的姐妹)、mon frère(我的兄弟)、ma grand-mère(我的祖母)、mon grand-père(我的祖父)。注意物主形容词“mon”(我的,阳性)和“ma”(我的,阴性)要与名词的性配合,而不是与说话者的性别配合。

To talk about siblings, you can say “J’ai un frère et une sœur” (I have a brother and a sister) or “Je suis enfant unique” (I am an only child). Describe people with “Il est gentil” (He is kind), “Elle est amusante” (She is funny). Pets count as family too: “J’ai un chat noir” (I have a black cat).

谈论兄弟姐妹时,可以说“J’ai un frère et une sœur”(我有一个兄弟和一个姐妹)或者“Je suis enfant unique”(我是独生子女)。描述他人时用“Il est gentil”(他很和善)、“Elle est amusante”(她很有趣)。宠物也是家庭一员:“J’ai un chat noir”(我有一只黑猫)。


9. Building Simple Sentences | 构建简单句子

French word order is often subject‑verb‑object, just like English. Once you have a few nouns, verbs and adjectives, you can create real messages. Start with “Je mange une pomme” (I am eating an apple), “Elle regarde la télé” (She is watching TV), “Nous jouons au football” (We play football).

法语的词序通常是主-动-宾,和英语一样。一旦有了几个名词、动词和形容词,你就能创造出真正有意义的信息。从“Je mange une pomme”(我在吃苹果)、“Elle regarde la télé”(她在看电视)、“Nous jouons au football”(我们踢足球)开始。

Negation is formed with ‘ne … pas’ wrapped around the verb: “Je ne mange pas de viande” (I do not eat meat), “Il n’aime pas chanter” (He does not like singing). In spoken French, the ‘ne’ is often dropped, but in writing it is essential to use both parts.

否定式用“ne … pas”把动词围住来构成:“Je ne mange pas de viande”(我不吃肉)、“Il n’aime pas chanter”(他不喜欢唱歌)。口语中常省略“ne”,但书写时两部分都不可缺少。

To ask questions, raise your tone at the end: “Tu aimes le chocolat?” (Do you like chocolate?) or add “Est-ce que” at the start: “Est-ce que tu as un animal?” (Do you have a pet?).

提问时,在句尾上扬语调:“Tu aimes le chocolat?”(你喜欢巧克力吗?)或者在句首加“Est-ce que”:“Est-ce que tu as un animal?”(你有宠物吗?)。


10. Useful Classroom Phrases | 实用课堂用语

When you enter the French classroom, understanding and using set phrases will immediately boost your confidence. Memorise these requests: “Je ne comprends pas” (I don’t understand), “Pouvez-vous répéter, s’il vous plaît?” (Can you repeat, please?), “Comment dit-on … en français?” (How do you say … in French?), “J’ai une question” (I have a question).

走进法语教室时,听懂并使用固定表达能立刻提升你的自信心。记住这些请求:“Je ne comprends pas”(我不明白)、“Pouvez-vous répéter, s’il vous plaît?”(请您再说一遍好吗?)、“Comment dit-on … en français?”(xx用法语怎么说?)、“J’ai une question”(我有一个问题)。

Also learn the teacher’s instructions: “Écoutez” (Listen), “Répétez après moi” (Repeat after me), “Ouvrez vos cahiers” (Open your exercise books), “Fermez la porte” (Shut the door), “Levez la main” (Raise your hand). Pair these with politeness words: “s’il vous plaît” (please) and “merci” (thank you).

也要学会老师的指令:“Écoutez”(听)、“Répétez après moi”(跟我读)、“Ouvrez vos cahiers”(打开练习本)、“Fermez la porte”(关上门)、“Levez la main”(举手)。别忘了加上礼貌用语:“s’il vous plaît”(请)和“merci”(谢谢)。


11. Summer Learning Activities | 暑期学习活动

Fun, low-pressure activities make the summer bridging course stick. Set your phone’s language to French for a day and notice how many words you know. Label objects around your house with sticky notes: “la fenêtre” (window), “la porte” (door), “le frigo” (fridge). Watch familiar cartoons in French with subtitles – you will absorb rhythm and intonation naturally.

有趣、无压力的活动能让暑期衔接内容记得更牢。把手机语言调到法语一天,看看你认得多少词。用便利贴给家里的物品贴上标签:“la fenêtre”(窗)、“la porte”(门)、“le frigo”(冰箱)。看带字幕的法语熟悉动画片——你会自然地吸收节奏和语调。

Keep a summer ‘French journal’ where you write three short sentences each day, e.g., “Aujourd’hui, il fait beau. Je mange une glace. Je regarde un film.” (Today it is sunny. I am eating an ice cream. I am watching a film.) Use a free app or audio course to practise listening for 10 minutes daily. Even singing along to a simple French song on YouTube builds pronunciation skills.

写一本暑期“法语日记”,每天写三个短句,比如“Aujourd’hui, il fait beau. Je mange une glace. Je regarde un film.”(今天天气好。我在吃冰淇淋。我在看电影。)每天使用免费应用或音频课程练习听力10分钟。哪怕跟着YouTube上的简单法语歌曲哼唱,也能锻炼发音能力。


12. Summary and Next Steps | 总结与下一步

You have now previewed the core pillars of Year 7 Cambridge French: the sounds of the language, greetings, numbers and dates, colours, the two superstar verbs ‘être’ and ‘avoir’, and vital words for school, family and simple chat. This foundation means your ears and tongue are already tuned to French before the term begins.

你已经预习了七年级剑桥法语的核心支柱:法语的发音、问候语、数字和日期、颜色、两大明星动词“être”和“avoir”,以及关于学校、家庭和简单对话的关键词汇。这个基础意味着你的耳朵和舌头已经在新学期开始前和法语磨合好了。

In the first weeks, your teacher will build on exactly these themes. Keep your summer notes handy and continue listening to French audio for a few minutes each day. The most powerful step is to stay curious: ask yourself how you would say something in French, then look it up or try it aloud. Bonne chance – you are ready for a fantastic Year 7 French journey!

在开学后的最初几周,你的老师会在这些主题上展开教学。保存好你的暑期笔记,每天坚持听几分钟法语。最有力的一步是保持好奇心:问问自己,某句话用法语该怎么说,然后去查一查或者大胆说出来。Bonne chance——你已经为精彩的七年级法语之旅做好了准备!
