Key learning points
- Use me and te when 'me' or 'you' is indirectly receiving the action of the verb: elle me donne un cadeau (gives to me).
- Me and te are used frequently in dialogue between two people.
- [gn] is pronounced like 'ligne', [th] like 'thé', j like [jour] and [r] like 'rue'.
- When transcribing, use your knowledge of French sounds to carefully write down what you hear. Check spelling carefully.
Common misconception
In France, the famous painting is called Mona Lisa, just like in English.
The French have their own name for the Mona Lisa, 'la Joconde', taken from the name of the lady in the painting - la Gioconda in Italian.
