Bonjour chers amis,
Thank you for visiting FrenchtasticPeople.com. This is another section of the Talking Dictionary. Today, we are still going to learn a little bit more about things and objects found in our homes. Last week, we studied various french nouns associated with the kitchen area and today, we continue our tour of the house and we will focus on the living-room. Most of us spend a great amount of time in the living-room, therefore it makes sense to study the most common names one can find in this area of the house. As usual, I am also including colorful images for quick memorization and some very useful audio tracks so you can work on your French pronunciation. Make sure to take a look at the other sections of this dictionary:

the sound doesn’t work.What can I do??
Simoziko, I’m sorry to hear this. There could be a million reasons why the sound wouldn’t work on your computer, and this seems to be a problem that only you have experienced so far. Please contact me at by email at prof_moderator [{at}] frenchtasticpeople.com
One thing I can tell you is that you need to have Adobe FlashPlayer installed in order to play the sound on this page. Please make sure you have it by visiting http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/download…
But again, you will have to contact me directly so we can work things out. Merci!
I would like to know when do we use un/une instead of de / de la..?
thanks in advance
Le son est parfait maintenant.
J’aime cette leçon.
J’attends la prochaine leçon
Ne soyez pas en retard s’il vous plaît.
