NOTE Culturelle

Les jeunes et la nourriture

In general, French teenagers eat their main meals at home with their families. On weekends or after school, however, when they are with friends, they often stop at a fast-food restaurant or a café for something to eat. At fast-food restaurants, French teenagers order pretty much the same types of foods as Americans: hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. At a café, teenagers may order a croissant, a sandwich, or a dish of ice cream. Some favorite sandwiches are ham (un sandwich au jambon), Swiss cheese (un sandwich au fromage), or salami (un sandwich au saucisson). And, of course, they are made with French bread, which has a crunchy crust. Another traditional quick café meal is a small steak with French fries (un steak-frites).

 

PETIT COMMENTAIRE

In France, sandwiches are traditionally very simple: a piece of French bread with a slice of ham or cheese. However, nowadays one can buy fancier sandwiches made with different breads, such as “panini,” and a variety of ingredients

 

un sandwich, une pizza

You may have noted that the names of some foods are masculine and others are feminine. In French, ALL NOUNS, whether they designate people or things, are either MASCULINE or FEMININE.

MASCULINE NOUNS                      FEMININE NOUNS

      un sandwich         le sandwich                une pizza              la pizza
      un croissant         le croissant                une salade             la salade

Prononciation

When you speak, your voice rises and falls. This is called INTONATION. In French, as in English, your voice goes down at the end of a statement. However, in French, your voice rises after eachg roup of words in the middle of a sentence. (This is the opposite of English, where your voice drops a little when you pause in the middle of a sentence.)

Répétez:

Je voudrais une pizza.

Je voudrais une pizza et un sandwich.

Je voudrais une pizza, un sandwich et un hamburger.

Voici un steak.

Voici un steak et une salade.

Voici un steak, une salade et une glace.
