Additional Information


Each word list is geared to teach you one of three different skills, depending on what you'll need to do with the vocabulary:

- LISEZ (READ): for signs in the airport, train station, on the street.

- ÉCOUTEZ (LISTEN): for phrases that French people (a train conductor, a waiter) might say to you. (Wouldn't it be nice to know what they're saying?)

- PARLEZ (SPEAK): for questions you might need to ask (Where is the station? Is this the right train?)

When you have finished with the instruction, you should be able to:

- Read and understand all vocabulary marked with LISEZ;

- Hear and understand all vocabulary marked with ÉCOUTEZ or E;

- Speak all vocabulary marked with PARLEZ or P (make sure you practice saying these words after the speaker).
