French: Anthony Kavanagh - Funny Video (Intermediate & Advanced)

Hi everyone, Aurore here. This is a very funny and interesting video about the differences between movies from America, France and the West Indies. The humorist presents a scene of a detective movie from each country. The cultural differences presented there are really vivid and can lead to an interesting discussion about what is stressed/overlooked in each culture compared with others. You can also ask what type of movies the students especially liked, and which impression they preferred. Enjoy!

French: Song Lyrics - Paroles Saez Jeune Et Con

Hi everyone, Aurore here. Here is a video that worked well in my class. At first your students can watch it and describe what they see; you can also ask them about the words they manage to understand. Then you give them the lyrics, and they have to complete the blanks. The vocabulary is easy, the singer is well known, and you can ask the students to listen to some other songs. That's spreading culture... Enjoy!




Paroles Saez Jeune Et Con

Et je sors _________ de mes rĆŖves je rentre dans la ________
Comme toujours il est ___________ du soir j'ai dormi tout le jour
Je me suis encore couchƩ trop ________ je me suis rendu sourd encore
