1 - Welcome to Drinks
Have you ever been to a French café and wondered what to order? Today we're learning the French names for all your favourite drinks! From 'le café' to refreshing 'l'eau', you'll know exactly what to ask for.
In France, people love going to cafés to chat with friends over coffee or hot chocolate. Now you'll be able to join in!
By the end of this lesson, you will:
- Name 8 popular drinks in French
- Listen to someone ordering drinks and understand
- Spot drinks in pictures and games
2 - Meet the Drinks
Here are today's new French drink words. Click each one to hear the perfect French pronunciation, then say it yourself! Notice how most drinks use 'le' because they're masculine - except for 'la limonade' which is feminine.
Some words like 'le jus' and 'le soda' sound very similar to English - these are called cognates and make learning easier!
3 - Listen to Café Orders
