Boucle d’Or et les trois ours Il était une fois trois ours qui habitaient une petite maison dans une petite forêt. Il y avait papa ours, maman ours et bébé ours. Un jour, maman ours a fait une bonne soupe. La soupe était trop chaude donc les trois ours sont allés faire une promenade dans la forêt. Pendant qu’ils faisaient la promenade, une petite fille s’est approchée de la maison. La petite fille s’appelait Boucle d’Or. Elle s’est arrêtée. Elle a regardé. Puis elle est entrée dedans.

Les liaisons • A liaison is a link between two words: the first word ends in a consonant which is usually silent (other than C, R, F, L) and the second word starts with a vowel or a ‘h’. • Examples: troisours (the ‘s’ becomes pronounced because of the ‘o’ following it) • unhôpital (the ‘n’ becomes pronounced because of the ‘h’ following it)
[h] • Find as many words starting with a ‘h’ as you can • How do you pronounce them? • ‘h’ is a silent letter in French
[ ch ] • How do you pronounce these words? • chocolat / chaud • ‘ch’ in French sounds like the English ‘sh’ • Do you know any other words with the ‘ch’ sound?
[ ill ] • How do you pronounce these words? • ‘fille’ / ‘gentille’ / ‘taille’ • [ ill ] in French sounds like the English [ y ] as in ‘you’ / ‘yes’ in the middle of a word (not at the beginning → illimité / illégal) • Exceptions: mille / ville / village / tranquille • Can you find some other words with the combination «ill »?
5 mins [ qu ] • How do you pronounce these words? • quatre / qui • [ qu ] in French sounds like the English [ k ] – never pronounce the ‘u’ after a ‘q’ • Can you find any other words using the sound [ qu ] ?
