Bonjour,
Comment allez-vous aujourd’hui? I hope you are doing very well.
Did you check the first lesson of the second chapter? One thing we learned there was “Est-ce qu’il y a…?, which means “Is there…?” or “Are there…?”. Here is one more exercise to help you reinforce what you have retained from this lesson.
Activity: Say whether you have these objects in your classroom (No longer a student? Just pretend to be one 
)
Note: I strongly encourage you to write down your answers AND say them aloud as well. Using more than several learning skills is a much faster way to learn a foreign language.
Example: Est-ce qu’il y a des fenêtres bleues dans ta (salle de) classe? Are there any blue windows in your classroom?

Hi prof
so I mean bonjoure monsieur, I appreciate to you for these lessons. I try to check this web site regularly and try to learn more. Really really thanks for all.
But in the begin activity now section is there a mistake at the 4th example? I suppose, the sentence and the playback doesn’t match with each other.
Best regards.
Thanks Polatkan, I will make the change very soon and update the site. Things are a little hectic now with the end of the semester here, but I should find some time soon to create a new sound file for this sentence.
