French A1: Saying Who You Are

Module 10 of 10

Putting it together

Everything above, said as one person introducing themselves.

Eight sentences, and every one of them comes from a module above: être, a nationality with the right ending, a number, a job with no article, a possessive that agrees with the thing, a negative that wraps the verb, and a question handed back. That is the artifact — not eight separate answers but one introduction that runs from Bonjour to Et vous ? without a gap you have to fill in English.

Write yours out first and read it aloud until you are no longer reading it. Then record it once, in a single take, including whatever you fumble; a reviewer is marking whether it works as an introduction and whether the endings are the ones that belong to you, not whether you sound French. The written profile and the recording should be the same person: if the transcript says étudiante and the recording says étudiant, that is the mistake this course exists to stop.

Hear it

Played by your device’s own French voice. It is a synthetic voice, not a recording of a teacher — close enough to learn the shape of a word, not close enough to copy exactly.

  • Bonjour, je m'appelle PriyaHello, my name is Priya
  • Je suis indienne, je viens de PuneI am Indian, I come from Pune
  • J'ai vingt-et-un ansI am twenty-one
  • Je suis étudiante, j'étudie la biologieI am a student, I study biology
  • J'ai une sœur et un frèreI have one sister and one brother
  • Ma sœur est médecinMy sister is a doctor
  • Je ne parle pas encore bien, mais j'apprendsI do not speak well yet, but I am learning
  • Et vous ?And you?
Takeaway

One continuous introduction, not eight answers. The transcript and the recording have to be the same person.

That is the last module. What you hand in is Who you are, in French — a written profile and one recording — the rubric it is marked against is on the course page.
