Rooms of the house
L'OBJECTIF: TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE ROOMS OF THE HOUSE
TASK 1: REGARDEZ 
Watch the video and repeat the names of the rooms!
TASK 2: ÉCOUTEZ et RÉPÉTEZ
Learn to say the rooms
LISTEN 
...when you hear a CLAP 
...REPEAT OUT LOUD 
what you have heard!
(Don’t be put off by anyone listening, and do the clap too, if it helps!)
Le salon
The living room
La cuisine
The kitchen
La salle de bains
The bathroom
Le bureau
The study
La salle à manger
The dining room
La chambre
The bedroom
- Listen and repeat these several times to develop your pronunciation.
- Mimic the sounds as closely as your can, and look at the words as you say them.
- Don't be afraid of sounding silly - by careful listening and repetition you are training your brain and developing your mouth muscle-memory!
TASK 3: TRADUISEZ
MA CHAMBRE = MY BEDROOM (like the English word 'chamber'!)
Whose bedrooms are these?
- La chambre de ma mère = my mother's room (it literally means 'the room of my mother')
- La chambre de mon père = my _______'_ room
- La chambre de mon frère = _________________
- La chambre de ma soeur = _________________
- La chambre de mes parents = _________________
- La chambre de Fred = _________________
TASK 4: TRADUISEZ
Go to the online dictionary https://www.wordreference.com/ and find the English for these rooms:
1) le grenier
2) la cave
3) le jardin
Look up any others you can think of, e.g. playroom, utility room... don’t forget to check if they are le (masculine) or la (feminine).
TASK 5: ÉCRIVEZ!
OPTION 1:
Make labels to stick on the doors in your home, saying the French name for each room.
Please ask your parents or carers first before you stick them up!
It is best to use blu-tack or similar - sticky tape can take off paint...
OPTION 2:
Draw a birds-eye plan of your own home (or an imaginary one!) and label all the rooms in French.
Use the word list below to make your labels.
Look up any others you need on https://www.wordreference.com/
No need to upload work this lesson, but if you would like to send me some photos of your signs or your plans I would love to see them!
