进入中学是令人兴奋的一步,而在七年级开始学习法语为你打开了一扇通往新世界的大门。本指南旨在帮助你顺利开启 WJEC 法语课程,从第一堂课就建立自信。我们将一起探索关键词汇、基础语法、实用短语以及文化背景知识,为未来几年的学习打下坚实的基础。
1. Welcome to French at Year 7 | 欢迎来到七年级法语课堂
The WJEC French course for beginners focuses on practical communication. You will learn to talk about yourself, your family, your school and your hobbies. The lessons are built around topics that matter to you, and you will practise listening, speaking, reading and writing from day one.
WJEC 法语初级课程注重实际交流能力。你将学习介绍自己、谈论家庭、学校和爱好。课程围绕与你息息相关的主题展开,你从第一天起就会进行听、说、读、写的全面练习。
In Year 7, you are not expected to be perfect. Mistakes are a natural part of learning a new language. Your teacher will encourage you to have a go, use new words and gradually build longer sentences.
在七年级,你不需要做到完美。犯错是学习新语言的自然组成部分。老师会鼓励你大胆尝试,使用新学的词汇,并逐渐构建更长的句子。
2. The Sounds of French | 法语的发音
French sounds may seem unusual at first, but with a little practice you will soon recognise them. Pay attention to nasal vowels like ‘on’ in bonjour, ‘an’ in maman and ‘in’ in matin. The French ‘r’ is made at the back of the throat, unlike the English ‘r’.
法语的发音起初可能听起来有些陌生,但只要稍加练习,你很快就能分辨出来。注意鼻化元音,比如 bonjour 中的 ‘on’、maman 中的 ‘an’ 和 matin 中的 ‘in’。法语的小舌音 ‘r’ 是在喉咙后部发出的,和英语的 ‘r’ 很不一样。
Silent letters are very common in French. The final ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘d’ and ‘e’ are often not pronounced, as in vous, petit and parle. Learning a few simple rules will make reading aloud much easier.
法语中不发音的字母很常见。末尾的 ‘s’、’t’、’d’ 和 ‘e’ 通常不发音,比如 vous、petit 和 parle。掌握几条简单的规则会让朗读变得容易得多。
3. Greetings and Basic Phrases | 问候语和基本表达
Your first conversations in French will revolve around greetings. You will learn to say Bonjour (hello/good morning), Salut (hi), Bonsoir (good evening) and Au revoir (goodbye). A polite ‘how are you?’ is Ça va ? and the most common answer is Ça va bien, merci.
你的第一节法语课将围绕问候用语展开。你会学到 Bonjour(你好/早上好)、Salut(嗨)、Bonsoir(晚上好)和 Au revoir(再见)。礼貌地询问“你好吗?”是 Ça va ?,最常见的回答是 Ça va bien, merci.
Here is a quick reference table of everyday phrases you will use again and again:
下面是一个日常用语速查表,你会反复用到这些表达:
| French | English | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| Bonjour | Hello / Good morning | 你好 / 早上好 |
| Salut | Hi | 嗨 |
| Merci | Thank you | 谢谢 |
| S’il vous plaît / S’il te plaît | Please | 请 |
| Pardon | Sorry / Excuse me | 对不起 / 打扰一下 |
| Oui / Non | Yes / No | 是 / 不是 |
Using these phrases from the start helps you feel like a real French speaker, even with just a few words.
从一开始就使用这些短语,哪怕只有几个词,也能让你感觉自己像个真正的法语使用者。
4. Numbers, Days and Dates | 数字、星期和日期
Numbers are essential for giving your age, telling the time and understanding prices. In Year 7 you will master numbers from 1 to 31 at least: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt, vingt et un… up to trente et un.
数字在表达年龄、时间和理解价格时必不可少。七年级至少会掌握从 1 到 31 的数字:un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt, vingt et un… 一直到 trente et un。
Days of the week and months are straightforward. Remember that French days are not capitalised: lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche. To say the date, use le + number + month, for example le deux septembre for the 2nd of September.
星期和月份也很容易掌握。记住法语的星期不用大写:lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche。表达日期时用 le + 数字 + 月份,例如 9 月 2 日是 le deux septembre。
5. Introducing Yourself | 自我介绍
One of the first real tasks in WJEC French is giving a short introduction. You will learn to say your name using Je m’appelle… and your age with J’ai … ans. For example: Je m’appelle Sophie. J’ai douze ans.
WJEC 法语课程最早的真实任务之一就是做一个简短的自我介绍。你会学到用 Je m’appelle… 说自己的名字,用 J’ai … ans 表达年龄。例如:Je m’appelle Sophie. J’ai douze ans.
You can extend your description with where you live: J’habite à… followed by a town or city. Nationality and languages spoken are also useful: Je suis anglais(e). Je parle anglais et un peu français.
你可以用居住地来扩展介绍:J’habite à… 后面加上城镇或城市名称。国籍和使用的语言也很有用:Je suis anglais(e). Je parle anglais et un peu français.
- Je m’appelle … – My name is … / 我叫……
- J’ai … ans – I am … years old / 我……岁
- J’habite à … – I live in … / 我住在……
- Je suis … – I am … (nationality) / 我是……(国籍)
6. Talking About Family | 谈论家庭
Family vocabulary helps you describe the people around you. Key words include ma mère (my mum), mon père (my dad), mon frère (my brother), ma sœur (my sister). Possessive adjectives ‘mon’, ‘ma’ and ‘mes’ agree with the noun in gender and number.
家庭相关的词汇能帮助你描述身边的人。核心词汇包括 ma mère(我的妈妈)、mon père(我的爸爸)、mon frère(我的兄弟)和 ma sœur(我的姐妹)。所有格形容词 ‘mon’、’ma’ 和 ‘mes’ 需要与名词的性和数保持一致。
You can also talk about other family members: grand-père (grandfather), grand-mère (grandmother), oncle (uncle), tante (aunt). Use structures like Il y a … personnes dans ma famille (There are … people in my family).
你还可以谈论其他家庭成员:grand-père(祖父)、grand-mère(祖母)、oncle(叔叔)、tante(阿姨)。使用 Il y a … personnes dans ma famille 这样的句型来说明家中有几口人。
7. School Life and Subjects | 学校生活与科目
Talking about school is a big part of Year 7 French. You will learn school subjects such as le français (French), les maths (maths), l’histoire-géo (history-geography), les sciences (science), l’EPS (PE), la musique (music) and l’anglais (English).
谈论学校是七年级法语的重要内容。你会学到学校科目,比如 le français(法语)、les maths(数学)、l’histoire-géo(历史地理)、les sciences(科学)、l’EPS(体育)、la musique(音乐)和 l’anglais(英语)。
Useful opinion phrases begin with J’aime (I like) and Je n’aime pas (I don’t like). You can give a reason with parce que c’est (because it is) + adjective: intéressant (interesting), ennuyeux (boring), facile (easy) or difficile (difficult).
表达看法的常用短语以 J’aime(我喜欢)和 Je n’aime pas(我不喜欢)开头。你可以用 parce que c’est(因为它是)加上形容词说明理由:intéressant(有趣的)、ennuyeux(无聊的)、facile(容易的)或 difficile(困难的)。
8. Likes and Dislikes | 表达喜好与厌恶
Expanding on opinions, you can talk about hobbies and free time. Use J’adore (I love), J’aime, Je n’aime pas and Je déteste (I hate) with activities such as jouer au foot (play football), regarder la télé (watch TV), écouter de la musique (listen to music) and lire (read).
在表达看法的基础上,你可以谈论爱好和闲暇时间。使用 J’adore(我非常喜欢)、J’aime、Je n’aime pas 和 Je déteste(我讨厌)搭配活动,如 jouer au foot(踢足球)、regarder la télé(看电视)、écouter de la musique(听音乐)和 lire(阅读)。
You can also connect ideas using et (and), mais (but) and aussi (also). For instance, J’aime le sport, mais je déteste le rugby. This adds fluency and makes your sentences more natural.
你还可以用 et(和)、mais(但是)以及 aussi(也)来连接想法。例如,J’aime le sport, mais je déteste le rugby. 这能增加流畅度,让你的句子更自然。
9. Cultural Snapshots: France and Beyond | 文化剪影:法国及其他法语地区
WJEC French introduces cultural elements alongside language. You will discover French-speaking countries such as Canada, Belgium, Switzerland and many African nations. Learning about festivals like Bastille Day on 14 July or the importance of food in daily life brings the language alive.
WJEC 法语课程将文化元素与语言学习相结合。你将了解加拿大、比利时、瑞士以及许多非洲国家等法语地区。了解 7 月 14 日的巴士底日等节日,或者食物在日常生活中的重要性,能让这门语言变得生动起来。
French customs, like greeting with a kiss on the cheek (la bise) or eating a long lunch, may be very different from your own experiences. These small insights make you a more open-minded global citizen.
法国的习俗,比如贴面礼(la bise)或享用一顿悠长的午餐,可能与你的个人经历大不相同。这些小小的文化洞见会让你成为更有开放心态的世界公民。
10. Tips for Success in WJEC French | WJEC 法语学习成功秘诀
Success in French comes from little and often practice. Aim to review vocabulary for five to ten minutes every day rather than cramming before a test. Use flashcards, labelling objects at home with French sticky notes, or listening to French songs to keep the language in your ears.
学好法语的秘诀在于少量多次的练习。争取每天复习词汇五到十分钟,而不是考试前临时抱佛脚。使用抽认卡、在家用便利贴标注物品的法语名称,或者听法语歌曲,让语言时常回响在你耳边。
Don’t be afraid to speak aloud. Even reading a sentence to yourself helps your pronunciation and memory. Your teacher will give you lots of speaking activities, so take every chance to practise with a partner.
别怕大声说出来。哪怕只是给自己读一个句子,都有助于发音和记忆。老师会安排很多口语活动,所以抓住每一个与搭档练习的机会。
- Repeat new words out loud – 大声重复新单词
- Write short sentences every day – 每天写几个简短的句子
- Watch a simple French cartoon with subtitles – 观看带字幕的简单法语动画片
- Ask your teacher for help when you are unsure – 有疑问时向老师求助
Remember, every French learner takes the same journey. Be patient, stay curious, and enjoy discovering a new language through the WJEC course.
请记住,每一位法语学习者都会经历同样的旅程。保持耐心,保持好奇心,通过 WJEC 课程尽情享受探索一门新语言的乐趣。
