Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:00:220:00:25

et je vous presente Ma France,

0:00:250:00:27

a series of short programmes to help you with spoken French.

0:00:270:00:30

In this programme...

0:00:300:00:32

an introduction to the people and places

0:00:320:00:35

you'll be seeing during the series

0:00:350:00:37

-with a flavour of the language you'll be hearing.

-Merci, monsieur.

0:00:370:00:40

..a trip to the Iles du Frioul, near Marseille...

0:00:400:00:44

-..and a surprise challenge for the people we film.

-Oh!

0:00:450:00:49

Ma France is a new course for people who've done a bit of French already,

0:00:490:00:54

and it covers a very wide range of French subjects,

0:00:540:00:57

from adventure sports and talking about football, to buying a house!

0:00:570:01:03

It's the TV version of the broadband website at -

0:01:030:01:06

This first film will give you an idea of the level of French

0:01:090:01:13

you're going to hear and the different situations you'll come across in the series

0:01:130:01:17

like finding your way around.

0:01:170:01:20

Now, have another look at some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:02:070:02:11

Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the Cite Internationale, please?

0:02:190:02:24

Go straight on.

0:02:270:02:28

Turn left at the traffic lights.

0:02:330:02:35

What time does the next boat leave?

0:03:050:03:07

I'll take two return tickets, please.

0:03:120:03:15

Where are you from?

0:03:550:03:56

I come from...

0:03:580:04:00

May I introduce...?

0:04:030:04:04

I need...

0:04:450:04:46

Do you have this pair in size 44, please?

0:04:510:04:55

On the Iles du Frioul, shops are few and far between.

0:05:030:05:07

Listen out for the food items people have brought with them.

0:05:070:05:11

Qu'est-ce que vous avez emporte?

0:05:110:05:13

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames. Pas trop difficile, j'espere?

0:06:510:06:55

We asked what food items people had brought with them.

0:06:580:07:02

Crisps.

0:07:060:07:07

Lebanese bread.

0:07:090:07:11

Peanuts.

0:07:130:07:15

Cereals.

0:07:210:07:22

Oranges.

0:07:240:07:26

Pears.

0:07:280:07:29

Tomatoes.

0:07:310:07:32

Et finalement, messieurs 'dames,

0:08:000:08:02

it's time for our surprise challenge for the people we filmed.

0:08:020:08:06

It always amazes me to see how people love to play along if you give them a challenge.

0:08:060:08:10

And you can too. Enjoy it. A bientot!

0:08:100:08:13

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:09:370:09:40

et je vous presente Ma France,

0:09:400:09:42

a series of short programmes to help you with spoken French.

0:09:420:09:45

In this programme...

0:09:450:09:47

meet the film crew for this series

0:09:470:09:50

who are asking for directions as they travel through France,

0:09:500:09:54

Stop - Go at The traffic information centre in the Rhone-Alpes region,

0:09:540:09:59

finding your way around the traffic jams.

0:09:590:10:03

And a special challenge for the crew -

0:10:030:10:05

pronouncing place names in France.

0:10:050:10:09

Le...Grand Bornand?

0:10:090:10:11

But first, here are the key words and expressions you'll hear in this programme.

0:10:110:10:17

A sign.

0:10:210:10:23

A traffic light.

0:10:250:10:26

A roundabout.

0:10:300:10:31

Can you tell me the way to...?

0:10:360:10:38

Can you tell me the way to your hotel, please?

0:10:420:10:45

You follow...

0:10:480:10:50

You take...

0:10:510:10:53

You cross...

0:10:550:10:56

You may also hear the infinitive -

0:10:570:11:00

Follow.

0:11:020:11:03

Take.

0:11:050:11:06

Cross.

0:11:080:11:09

Here's a recap of some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:14:190:14:23

Go straight on.

0:14:260:14:28

Turn left at the traffic lights.

0:14:320:14:35

Follow the signs for Cite Internationale.

0:14:400:14:43

Watch out for the difference between -

0:14:440:14:47

..to the right...

0:14:480:14:49

..straight on. They can sound very similar.

0:14:510:14:54

Also...

0:14:550:14:56

The hotel is just opposite.

0:14:580:15:01

In this next film, Gerard Devinaz tells us about traffic

0:15:090:15:13

in the Rhone-Alpes region.

0:15:130:15:15

How does he cope with parking in the busy city centre?

0:15:150:15:18

Pour se garer au centre de Lyon, c'est difficile?

0:15:180:15:22

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames. Pas trop difficile, j'espere?

0:17:040:17:08

We asked -

0:17:080:17:10

How does he cope with parking in the busy city centre?

0:17:130:17:17

I go there by public transport.

0:17:200:17:23

If you're asking the way, you need to be able to pronounce the names

0:17:340:17:37

of the places you're going to go to so people can understand you.

0:17:370:17:42

Sounds obvious, but it's not always so easy in practice.

0:17:420:17:45

And now it's time for our surprise challenge. You could try it too!

0:17:470:17:52

A bientot!

0:17:520:17:53

Have you tried Ma France online yet?

0:19:080:19:11

It's full of entertaining, interactive exercises

0:19:110:19:14

and you can see the films again with subtitles in English or French.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:19:480:19:51

et je vous presente Ma France,

0:19:510:19:53

a series of short programmes to help you make the most of your French.

0:19:530:19:57

In this programme...

0:19:570:19:59

a bilingual family playing language games at home...

0:19:590:20:04

saying what languages you speak, and how well you speak them.

0:20:040:20:08

And a surprise challenge for the family.

0:20:080:20:11

What do the letters stand for?

0:20:110:20:14

But first the key words and expressions for this programme.

0:20:140:20:18

To speak.

0:20:220:20:23

To understand.

0:20:260:20:27

To write or spell.

0:20:290:20:31

How's that spelt?

0:20:350:20:37

I speak English fluently.

0:20:420:20:44

I speak Italian very well.

0:20:480:20:50

I speak a little bit of Spanish.

0:20:540:20:57

Here's a recap of some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:24:060:24:10

French is my mother tongue.

0:24:150:24:17

How many languages do you speak?

0:24:200:24:23

Consonant or vowel?

0:24:270:24:30

All four members of the Berrow family are bilingual,

0:24:380:24:43

but does Sylvie talk to her husband in English or French?

0:24:430:24:46

Qui parle quoi avec qui?

0:24:460:24:49

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames.

0:27:060:27:08

We asked -

0:27:100:27:11

Who speaks what language with whom?

0:27:130:27:17

Generally I speak English to Lloyd.

0:27:240:27:27

The pronunciation is very difficult sometimes.

0:27:380:27:42

It's not too difficult a language to learn.

0:27:460:27:49

And here's a really useful question -

0:27:510:27:54

What does that mean?

0:27:560:27:58

And now it's time for our surprise challenge. You could try it too!

0:28:040:28:09

A bientot!

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:29:580:30:00

a series of short programmes to help you with spoken French.

0:30:020:30:06

In this programme...

0:30:060:30:09

the Jourde family shop at their local market,

0:30:090:30:12

Hakim M'Barek heads for the supermarket,

0:30:120:30:16

and another surprise challenge - guessing the prices!

0:30:160:30:21

But first here are the key words and expressions

0:30:210:30:24

you'll hear in this programme.

0:30:240:30:26

A can.

0:30:320:30:33

A bottle.

0:30:350:30:37

A bunch.

0:30:380:30:40

I'd like...

0:30:420:30:44

I'd like a kilo of apples.

0:30:460:30:48

You can also say -

0:30:490:30:51

I'll have...

0:30:530:30:54

I'll have some salami sausage.

0:30:570:30:59

Now, here's a recap of some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:34:380:34:42

To ask if something's in stock say -

0:34:430:34:46

Have you got...?

0:34:480:34:49

Do you have this pair in size 44?

0:34:530:34:57

How will you pay?

0:35:010:35:02

In cash?

0:35:050:35:06

By credit card.

0:35:080:35:10

Other key shopping phrases are -

0:35:110:35:14

Is that all?

0:35:150:35:17

Anything else?

0:35:210:35:23

It's market versus supermarket,

0:35:300:35:34

but what else do shoppers buy, apart from food?

0:35:340:35:38

A part la nourriture, qu'est-ce que vous achetez?

0:35:380:35:41

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames. Pas trop difficile, j'espere?

0:37:100:37:14

We asked -

0:37:150:37:16

Apart from food, what do you buy?

0:37:190:37:22

Flowers.

0:37:250:37:26

A full tank of petrol.

0:37:300:37:31

Et finalement, messieurs 'dames,

0:37:540:37:56

it's time for our surprise challenge for the people we filmed.

0:37:560:37:59

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:39:340:39:37

et je vous presente Ma France,

0:39:370:39:39

a series of short programmes to help you with spoken French.

0:39:390:39:43

In this programme...

0:39:430:39:44

what better place to work than the French Alps in winter?

0:39:440:39:49

Talking about what you do for a living, and your daily routine

0:39:490:39:53

and the life of a musher and his 12 dogs.

0:39:530:39:57

But first the key words and expressions for this programme.

0:39:570:40:01

I'm a ski instructress.

0:40:070:40:09

I'm a secretary.

0:40:120:40:14

Some verbs have an extra 'me' -

0:40:150:40:18

I get up.

0:40:200:40:21

I get dressed.

0:40:230:40:24

I look after...

0:40:260:40:28

It's called the reflexive form.

0:40:280:40:31

Have you been working here long?

0:40:360:40:38

See how the French use the present tense with 'depuis'

0:40:390:40:43

rather than the past because it's something that is still carrying on.

0:40:430:40:48

I've been working here seven years, seven seasons.

0:40:520:40:56

Now, here's a recap of some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:44:170:44:20

Job or work.

0:44:260:44:27

What's your work like?

0:44:310:44:32

It's exciting.

0:44:350:44:37

It's very varied.

0:44:390:44:41

I work at the swimming pool.

0:44:450:44:47

I start my day at 8.30.

0:44:510:44:54

Rene Duc has a job with an unusual name.

0:45:000:45:05

How long has he been a musher?

0:45:050:45:07

Il est musher depuis combien de temps?

0:45:070:45:10

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames.

0:47:080:47:11

We asked -

0:47:110:47:12

How long has Rene been a musher?

0:47:150:47:18

I've been doing this job for three years now.

0:47:230:47:27

And now, it's time for our surprise challenge. You could try it too!

0:47:370:47:42

A bientot!

0:47:420:47:43

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stephane Cornicard

0:49:410:49:44

et je vous presente Ma France,

0:49:440:49:46

a series of short programmes to help you with spoken French.

0:49:460:49:49

In this programme...

0:49:490:49:51

a day at work with a very busy person, Hakim M'Barek,

0:49:510:49:56

talking about working routines and times

0:49:560:50:00

and trying out some French tongue-twisters,

0:50:000:50:03

-a surprise challenge for Hakim.

-Pruneau cru, pruneau cuit...

0:50:030:50:07

But first the key words and expressions for this programme.

0:50:070:50:11

Meeting.

0:50:160:50:17

Office.

0:50:190:50:20

Answer-phone.

0:50:230:50:24

When talking about your plans, you might say -

0:50:250:50:29

Today, I can't.

0:50:320:50:33

I have a meeting.

0:50:360:50:37

Are you free tomorrow?

0:50:400:50:42

Yes, I can tomorrow.

0:50:450:50:47

Peux is from the verb 'pouvoir', to be able to,

0:50:480:50:53

and is usually followed by another verb in the infinitive.

0:50:530:50:57

Now, have another look at some of the expressions you've just heard.

0:54:090:54:13

I must or I have to...

0:54:150:54:18

I have to go actually.

0:54:210:54:23

I still have to go and pick up my daughter.

0:54:270:54:30

'Dois' is from the verb 'devoir'.

0:54:310:54:34

..means both 'he works' and 'He's working'.

0:54:380:54:42

Today he's working at home.

0:54:460:54:49

But...

0:54:490:54:50

He works in communications.

0:54:530:54:56

Hakim has such a busy life, he must surely forget things.

0:55:030:55:08

Listen to what he says when asked, "Vous n'oubliez jamais rien?"

0:55:080:55:12

Do you never forget anything?

0:55:120:55:14

Tres bien, messieurs 'dames. Pas trop difficile, j'espere?

0:57:060:57:10

We asked -

0:57:110:57:12

Do you never forget anything?

0:57:140:57:17

Yes, of course I do, every day.

0:57:200:57:23

'Si' is used for yes, when you're correcting a wrong assumption.

0:57:240:57:30

And now, it's time for our surprise challenge. You could try it too.

0:57:370:57:42

A bientot!
