Ollendorff - Lesson Seven A

(3862 downloads)

Download this episode (10 min)

_____________________________________

Each Ollendorff lesson is delivered in three parts:

1. Formal grammar and vocabulary with the learning templates for the lesson is introduced in Part A

2. Part B contains practical sentences, in question-answer format, given in French only, firstly read slowly, with time for repetition, then more quickly.

3. Part C is in French only - this lesson is made up of questions for you to make up imaginary answers to. You should answer the questions in French, of course.



The lessons on the Fancy French Podcast are based on a textbook that can be downloaded for free from Google Books - Ollendorff's- "New Method of learning to Read, Write and Speak the French Language". This textbook takes the approach of treating French as a series of templates to be coded. Language is treated as an operating system. You simply code the templates, repeat out loud, and hey presto, you'll start to learn French in no time. The method works very well, and Ollendorff met with great success.

Why have I chosen a French textbook that uses the Ollendorff method? Simply because the structure of the text is ideally suited to learning by listening, and learning with an MP3 player. The goal of this method is to give you a high level of fluency, so that you can speak, read and write French with ease.

The exercises repeat the material learned with many slight variations - so you will be learning in a musical way, using the linguistic equivalent of musical scales.

1. Formal grammar and vocabulary with the learning templates for the lesson is introduced in Part A

2. Part B contains practical sentences, in question-answer format, given in French only, firstly read slowly, with time for repetition, then more quickly.

3. Part C is in French only - this lesson is made up of questions for you to make up imaginary answers to. You should answer the questions in French, of course.



The lessons on the Fancy French Podcast are based on a textbook that can be downloaded for free from Google Books - Ollendorff's- "New Method of learning to Read, Write and Speak the French Language". This textbook takes the approach of treating French as a series of templates to be coded. Language is treated as an operating system. You simply code the templates, repeat out loud, and hey presto, you'll start to learn French in no time. The method works very well, and Ollendorff met with great success.

Why have I chosen a French textbook that uses the Ollendorff method? Simply because the structure of the text is ideally suited to learning by listening, and learning with an MP3 player. The goal of this method is to give you a high level of fluency, so that you can speak, read and write French with ease.

The exercises repeat the material learned with many slight variations - so you will be learning in a musical way, using the linguistic equivalent of musical scales.

Manesca - Lesson One

(4431 downloads)

Download this episode (12 min)   

This Lesson is taken from Jean Manesca's "An Oral System for Teaching Living Language, Illustrated by A Practical Course of Lessons in the French".
This rather good book is available online via Google Books, free of charge.

These lessons, you will find, complement the Ollendorff quite well.

The Manesca lessons require your active participation, as they are comprised almost entirely of questions, which you have to answer. If for some reason you cannot answer a particular question, repeat it aloud.
