Introduction to French

If you’re just starting to learn French, you might find it interesting to learn some basics about French linguistics and grammar.

They say French the language of love, so it would seem to make sense that it’s a Romance language. In fact, that has nothing to do with it: the linguistic terms “Romance” and “romantic” are from the word Roman and mean nothing more exciting than “from Latin.”

French’s complete language classification is  Indo-European  »  Italic  »  Latino-Faliscan  »  Romance

• Course Outline:

  Basic French Linguistics: Alphabet
  French has the same 26-letter alphabet as English, although the importance of each letter varies. French also has 5 different accents:

  acute aigu é
  grave grave à, è, ù
  circumflex circonflexe â, ê, î, ô, û
  dieresis tréma ë, ï
  cedilla cédille ç
  Gender
  French has two genders: all nouns are either masculine or feminine.

  Subject Pronouns
  Many of the Romance languages, including Spanish and Italian, are “pro-drop,” meaning that the subject pronoun can be dropped because the verb conjugation is different for each grammatical person. In other words, if a Spanish speaker says “Voy al mercado,” everyone knows that s/he means “I am going to the store." In contrast, French is not a pro-drop language: subject pronouns are always required for all verb forms except the imperative.

  Verbs
  French verbs are categorized by their endings: -er, -ir, and -re. Each of these categories can be further broken down in various ways:

  • regular  vs  irregular
  • personal  vs  impersonal

  pronominal  vs  non-pronominal
  There are 11 main verb forms,* shown here for aller (to go):

  • Simple verb forms
  • Present je vais
  • Imperfect j’allais
  • Future j’irai
  • Conditional j’irais
  • Subjunctive que j’aille
  • Imperative
  •   va !

  Compound verb forms

  • Passé composé je suis allé
  • Pluperfect j’étais allé
  • Future perfect je serai allé
  • Conditional perfect je serais allé
  • Past subjunctive que je sois allé
  • Compound verb forms are conjugated with one of two helping verbs. Most verbs take avoir. The ones that take être are pronominal verbs and a handful of intransitive verbs of movement.
  • Comparison French and English
  • French is a Romance language with Germanic influence, while English is a German language with Latin and French influence. Thus French and English have a lot in common, notably large numbers of cognates and borrowed expressions – see French in English. On the other hand, since they are different languages, there are a number of differences between French and English.
• Recomended Audience:

  These Hobbies classes and Extracurricular activities are suitable for students whose age is more than or equal to 5 years old. As your child continues to grow, you will notice new and exciting abilities that your child develops. A child’s  brain grows the most during the first five years of life. By age 5, the brain has reached approximately 90 percent of its adult size. This means that much of the brain  structure and function has been established. Hence our best recommended audience for these hobbies classes are all students who are minimum 5 years old and more. Even a grownup student upto 16 years old can also go ahead for these Hobbies & Extra Curricular classes with their learning.

• Pre-Requisite Requirement:

  For attending Hobbies and Extra curricular activities classes, Basic prerequisite requirement is having interest in learning of that class. Without having natural interest on particular topic/class, it's not meaningful to proceed with it along with Instructor . So it's advisable to have these as a part of the learning phase of your life  if you are really inclined and motivated to learn that hobby or activity. You should have all the items and required things with you at your home which are needed in that class. If not then you must buy from the market after taking suggestions from Instructors as per provided standard.
