Speaking

Using one of the platforms for finding a tutor or language exchange partner, practice the speaking activities below.

Partner Speaking Exercise:

Ask your French-speaking partner to drill you on direct and indirect object pronouns. We will learn to manage double object pronouns in a subsequent lesson, so use only one object pronoun per sentence, for now.

For example, you can pretend you’re answering the phone in a business.

You: A qui souhaitez vous parler ?

Your partner: Je voudrais parler à ____________, s’il vous plaît.

You: Ah, vous souhaitez ______(ind. obj.) parler. Très bien, je vous _____ (direct obj.) passe.

Repeat this exercise at least five times, so you can practice with different pronouns.

Independent Speaking Exercise:

Focus on what you can see and hear. Write down ten of the things you can see or hear – check an online dictionary if necessary. Then, make sentences using direct object pronouns.

Example of objects/sounds: des voitures, un chien, une table, un ordinateur.

Example of sentences: Je vois une table. Je la vois.
