1. Why Learn French? | 为什么学习法语？
French is spoken by over 300 million people across five continents and is an official language in 29 countries. It is also one of the working languages of the United Nations, UNESCO and the International Olympic Committee. Learning French from Year 7 not only helps you communicate when travelling in France, but also sharpens your thinking skills and makes learning other languages easier later on. You will discover that many English words come from French, so you already know more than you think!
法语在五大洲有超过 3 亿使用者，是 29 个国家的官方语言。它也是联合国、联合国教科文组织和国际奥委会的工作语言之一。从 Year 7 开始学习法语，不仅能让你在法国旅行时进行交流，还能锻炼你的思维能力，并让以后学习其他语言变得更加容易。你会发很多英语单词其实来源于法语，所以你已经比你想象的懂得更多！
2. The French Alphabet and Basic Pronunciation | 法语字母表与基本发音
The French alphabet uses the same 26 letters as English, but the pronunciation of many letters is different. Pay special attention to accents – acute (é), grave (è), circumflex (ê) and cedilla (ç) – because they can change both the sound and the meaning of a word. For example, ‘e’ sounds like the ‘u’ in ‘fur’, while ‘é’ sounds like the ‘ay’ in ‘play’. Nasal sounds such as ‘on’, ‘an’, ‘in’ are made by letting air pass through your nose. Listen carefully to recordings and try to copy the mouth shapes.
法语字母表使用与英语相同的 26 个字母，但许多字母的发音不同。要特别注意各种音符——闭口音符 (é)、开口音符 (è)、长音符 (ê) 和软音符 (ç)——因为它们会改变单词的发音和意思。例如，’e’ 的发音类似于英语 ‘fur’ 中的 ‘u’，而 ‘é’ 则像 ‘play’ 中的 ‘ay’。鼻化元音如 ‘on’、’an’、’in’ 需要通过鼻腔送气来发出。仔细听录音并尝试模仿口型。
3. Greetings and Introductions | 问候与自我介绍
Knowing how to say hello and introduce yourself is the first step in any conversation. In French, the greeting you use depends on the situation and how well you know the person. ‘Bonjour’ means good day and is used in the morning and afternoon; ‘Bonsoir’ is used in the evening. ‘Salut’ is an informal hi you can use with friends. To introduce yourself, start with ‘Je m’appelle…’ (my name is…) and ask ‘Comment tu t’appelles?’ (What is your name?). Remember to use ‘tu’ with peers and ‘vous’ to show respect to adults or strangers.
知道如何打招呼和自我介绍是任何对话的第一步。在法语中，使用的问候语取决于场合以及你与对方的熟悉程度。’Bonjour’ 表示你好，用于上午和下午；’Bonsoir’ 用于晚上。’Salut’ 是朋友间使用的非正式说法。自我介绍时可以说 ‘Je m’appelle…’（我叫……），并问 ‘Comment tu t’appelles?’（你叫什么名字？）。记得对同龄人用 ‘tu’，对长辈或陌生人用 ‘vous’ 表示尊重。
4. Numbers 1–31 | 数字 1 到 31
Numbers are essential for telling the date, your age and telephone numbers. Start by memorising 1–10: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. Then keep going to 20: onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt. After 20, numbers often follow a pattern: vingt et un (21), vingt-deux (22) and so on. French speakers in Belgium and Switzerland use ‘septante’ for 70 and ‘nonante’ for 90, but in France students learn ‘soixante-dix’ (70) and ‘quatre-vingt-dix’ (90). Practice saying your age: ‘J’ai onze ans.’
数字对于说出日期、年龄和电话号码至关重要。先记住 1 到 10：un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix。接着学到 20：onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt。20 之后的数字通常有一定规律：21 是 vingt et un，22 是 vingt-deux，以此类推。比利时和瑞士的法语使用者用 ‘septante’ 表示 70，用 ‘nonante’ 表示 90，但在法国学生学的是 ‘soixante-dix’ (70) 和 ‘quatre-vingt-dix’ (90)。练习说出你的年龄：’J’ai onze ans.’。
5. Colours | 颜色
Colour words in French are adjectives, which means they often change their spelling depending on the noun they describe. The basic colours are: rouge (red), bleu/bleue (blue), vert/verte (green), jaune (yellow), noir/noire (black), blanc/blanche (white), orange (orange), rose (pink), violet/violette (purple), marron (brown). Note that ‘orange’ and ‘marron’ never change their form. When describing an object, the colour usually goes after the noun: ‘un stylo bleu’ (a blue pen).
法语的颜色词是形容词，这意味着它们的拼写经常会根据所描述的名词发生变化。基本颜色有：rouge（红色）、bleu/bleue（蓝色）、vert/verte（绿色）、jaune（黄色）、noir/noire（黑色）、blanc/blanche（白色）、orange（橙色）、rose（粉色）、violet/violette（紫色）、marron（棕色）。注意 ‘orange’ 和 ‘marron’ 从不改变形式。在描述物品时，颜色通常放在名词之后：’un stylo bleu’（一支蓝色的笔）。
6. Family Members | 家庭成员
Talking about your family is a personal and engaging topic in Year 7 French. Key words include: ma mère (my mother), mon père (my father), mon frère (my brother), ma sœur (my sister), ma grand-mère (my grandmother), mon grand-père (my grandfather). Notice that ‘mon’ is used before masculine nouns or before feminine nouns that begin with a vowel, while ‘ma’ is used before most feminine nouns. You can also add ‘petit(e)’ to describe younger siblings: ‘mon petit frère’ (my little brother).
在 Year 7 法语中，谈论家庭是既个人化又引人入胜的话题。关键词汇包括：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/外祖母）、mon grand-père（我的祖父/外祖父）。注意 ‘mon’ 用于阳性名词或以元音开头的阴性名词前，而 ‘ma’ 用于大多数阴性名词前。你还可以加上 ‘petit(e)’ 来描述年幼的兄弟姐妹：’mon petit frère’（我的小弟弟）。
7. Everyday Objects and Classroom Items | 日常物品与教室用语
Being able to name things around you helps you follow instructions and participate in class. Start with items in your school bag: un cahier (exercise book), un stylo (pen), un crayon (pencil), une gomme (rubber), une règle (ruler), des ciseaux (scissors). The words ‘un’ and ‘une’ mean ‘a’ for masculine and feminine nouns. To ask for something politely, use ‘Je voudrais…’ (I would like…). Classroom commands you might hear include ‘Écoutez’ (Listen), ‘Répétez’ (Repeat) and ‘Ouvrez vos cahiers’ (Open your exercise books).
能够说出身边物品的名字有助于你理解课堂指令并积极参与课堂。先从书包里的物品开始：un cahier（练习册）、un stylo（钢笔）、un crayon（铅笔）、une gomme（橡皮）、une règle（直尺）、des ciseaux（剪刀）。’un’ 和 ‘une’ 分别表示阳性名词和阴性名词的“一个”。要礼貌地索要某物，可以使用 ‘Je voudrais…’（我想要……）。你可能会听到的课堂指令包括 ‘Écoutez’（听）、’Répétez’（跟读）和 ‘Ouvrez vos cahiers’（打开练习册）。
8. Essential Verbs: avoir and être | 基本动词：avoir 与 être
Avoir (to have) and être (to be) are the two most important verbs in French. They are used in countless everyday phrases and to form past tenses later. Learn their present-tense forms: j’ai, tu as, il/elle a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont for avoir; je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont for être. Use être to describe yourself: ‘Je suis grand/grande’ (I am tall). Use avoir with age: ‘Tu as douze ans’ (You are twelve). Be careful with the silent final consonants: ‘ils ont’ sounds like ‘il zon’.
Avoir（有）和 être（是）是法语中最重要的两个动词。它们在无数日常表达中都会用到，日后还会用来构成过去时态。先学习它们的现在时变位：avoir 的变位是 j’ai, tu as, il/elle a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont；être 的变位是 je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont。用 être 描述自己：’Je suis grand/grande’（我个子高）。用 avoir 表示年龄：’Tu as douze ans’（你十二岁）。注意词尾不发音的辅音：’ils ont’ 听起来像 ‘il zon’。
9. Simple Adjectives and Agreement | 简单形容词与配合规则
In French, most adjectives need to agree with the noun they describe in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). The basic rule is to add an -e for the feminine and an -s for the plural. For example, ‘un garçon intelligent’ (an intelligent boy) becomes ‘une fille intelligente’ (an intelligent girl) and ‘des garçons intelligents’ (intelligent boys). Some adjectives are irregular, such as ‘beau/belle’ (beautiful) and ‘vieux/vieille’ (old). Adjective position usually follows the noun, but some common adjectives like ‘petit’, ‘grand’, ‘bon’ and ‘jeune’ come before the noun.
在法语中，大多数形容词需要在性（阳性或阴性）和数（单数或复数）上与所描述的名词保持一致。基本规则是阴性加 -e，复数加 -s。例如，’un garçon intelligent’（一个聪明的男孩）变成 ‘une fille intelligente’（一个聪明的女孩），’des garçons intelligents’（聪明的男孩们）。有些形容词是不规则的，比如 ‘beau/belle’（美丽的）和 ‘vieux/vieille’（年老的）。形容词通常放在名词之后，但一些常用形容词如 ‘petit’（小的）、’grand’（大的）、’bon’（好的）和 ‘jeune’（年轻的）放在名词前面。
10. Cultural Snapshot: France and the French-Speaking World | 文化掠影：法国与法语世界
Language learning becomes alive when you connect it with real places and people. France is known for its art, food, fashion and festivals like Bastille Day on 14 July. However, French is not only spoken in France: you will hear it in Canada (Quebec), Belgium, Switzerland, many African countries such as Senegal and Morocco, and islands like Haiti and Mauritius. Each region has its own accent and special expressions. For example, breakfast in France is often a tartine (bread with butter and jam), while in Quebec it might include maple syrup treats. Exploring these cultures helps you understand why French is so widely loved.
当你将语言学习与真实的地方和人们联系起来时，语言就会变得生动起来。法国以其艺术、美食、时尚以及国庆日（7 月 14 日的巴士底日）等节庆闻名。然而，法语的使用不仅限于法国：你可以在加拿大（魁北克）、比利时、瑞士、许多非洲国家（如塞内加尔和摩洛哥）以及海地和毛里求斯等岛国听到法语。每个地区都有自己独特的口音和特色表达。例如，法国的早餐常是 tartine（涂了黄油和果酱的面包片），而在魁北克可能包含枫糖浆点心。探索这些文化能帮你理解为什么法语如此受到广泛喜爱。
11. Developing Listening and Speaking Confidence | 培养听力与说话的自信心
Speaking and listening can feel intimidating at first, but small daily habits make a huge difference. Sing along to French songs, repeat lines from cartoons, or use language apps designed for beginners. Try shadowing: listen to a short sentence and repeat it immediately, mimicking the rhythm and intonation. Record yourself reading aloud and compare your pronunciation to a native speaker model. Remember, making mistakes is a normal part of learning. French people generally appreciate any effort to speak their language, so don’t be afraid to say ‘bonjour’ or ‘merci’ out loud.
起初，说和听可能会让人感到紧张，但每天养成一些小习惯会带来巨大的改变。跟着法语歌曲哼唱，复述卡通片里的台词，或者使用为初学者设计的语言应用。尝试跟读法：听一个短句并立即复述，模仿其节奏和语调。录下自己的朗读，并与母语人士的范读进行对比。记住，犯错是学习过程中很正常的一部分。法国人通常会欣赏你努力说他们语言的态度，所以要敢于大声说出 ‘bonjour’ 或 ‘merci’。
12. Getting Ready for Your First French Lesson | 为第一节法语课做好准备
Walk into your first Year 7 French lesson with a positive mindset and a few practical tools. Organise a dedicated notebook and a list of the phrases you have practised. Know how to ask ‘Comment dit-on … en français ?’ (How do you say … in French?) and ‘Pouvez-vous répéter, s’il vous plaît ?’ (Can you repeat, please?). Be ready to share a short presentation about yourself entirely in French: ‘Bonjour, je m’appelle …, j’ai … ans, j’habite à … .’ Finally, remember that consistency is key – just 10 minutes of daily review can cement what you have learned over the summer and set you up for a confident start.
带着积极的心态和一些实用的工具走进你的第一节 Year 7 法语课。准备好一本专门的笔记本和一个包含你已练习过的短语清单。要学会如何提问：’Comment dit-on … en français ?’（……用法语怎么说？）和 ‘Pouvez-vous répéter, s’il vous plaît ?’（请再说一遍好吗？）。准备好用全法语做一个简短的自我介绍：’Bonjour, je m’appelle …, j’ai … ans, j’habite à … .’。最后，记住持之以恒是关键——每天只需 10 分钟的复习就能巩固你在暑假学到的内容，让你自信地开启新学期。
