Chapter 1
An introduction to our class, best practices for learning, and our course format.
At the bottom of this view you will find parts 2 & 3, as well as a document with the vocabulary from the lesson.
You will also find an optional exercise to practice vocabulary in the Boudini & Ses Amis episode. We will only be working with the vocabulary section in this class.
***Any other activities in the Boudini & Ses Amis episode is “Lagniappe.” The document is designed for immersion schools. There are many pages to the document but we will only use the vocabulary for this class.
Feel free to use the other exercises or ignore them.

Watch this episode of La Veillee and listen for any familiar vocabulary. Listen for at least one word that repeats itself over and over again as they talk. Try to find it in the Dictionary of Louisiana French. If you can’t find it, post a comment on our Facebook group and we will help.
Troy Landry’s Accent: Assumption Parish.
Will McGrew’s accent: New Orleans, Louisiana.
(Yes, New Orleans does have its own French, and at least 2 different accents. Although one is either dying off or already dead.)
