a Video from Madagascar

Madagascar is a french-speaking country that also speaks the local language of Malagasy. This song is entitled "Comment ça va?" and is sung in both languages. It has a catchy tune and shows the people dancing in their traditional way. Enjoy!

Il/Elle (he/she)

Last class, we learned the subject pronouns: je (I), tu (you), il (he), elle (she).  Listen and read along with the examples below.  Compare what you hear with what you already know (Je m'appelle.... J'habite à...J'ai # ans.)

Il s'appelle Batman.  Il habite à Gotham.  Il a 30 ans.



Elle s'appelle Madeline.  Elle habite à Paris.  Elle a 9 ans.
