Lesson Objectives • To learn the names for the accents and how they change the sound of words. • To learn how to insert accented letters into French texts. • A surprise!
Introduction French use accents and spelling marks that do not exist in English. These marks are part of correct spelling and CANNOT be left out. Here are the letters you will have to use: à â é è ê ë î ï ô ö ù û ç
L’accentaigu (acute accent) • It is only found on the “E”. • It makes the samesound as weigh. • This isalso the case with open syllables (et, er, ez).
L’accent grave (grave accent) • It is used to distinguish between homographs on the “A” and “U”. (ou vs. où, a vs. à) • It isalsofound on the“E”. In this case, it sounds like bed.
L’accentcirconflexe (circumflex) • Found on all vowels, it can also distinguish homographs. (du vs. dû) • With the “E” it sounds like bed.
le tréma (diaresis) • Found only on U, I, and E. • It requires you to pronounce both vowels.
la cédille (cedilla) • Only on the letter “C”. • It changes the hard “k” sound to a soft “s”. • It isn’t needed before E and I, because it “C” says “s” before these vowels always.

Je suis métis, un mélange de couleurs oh ohOh métis, je viens d'ici et d'ailleurs Si parfois je me perds au milieu des deux rivesSi j'ai besoin de repères, mes racines me guidentUn sentiment basique, un élan, une chanceUne si belle mosaïque et dans mon coeur ça danse Je suis la preuve vivante que tous les humains sont les mêmesJe suis l'enfant d'Adam et EveJe suis un rêve comme Ismaël en IsraëlRenie ta haine et fais sourire les angesMétis des Indes et du BrésilOn est métis comme Sade, Bob MarleyTu peux te marrer ou bien te barrerOn peut en parlerMulticolores, anti-connards et tous mes colocatairesCaracolent en tête pour des idéesD'un monde plus métissé Copy this into your Word document.
