What you will learn in section 3
"Salut! Ça va?" Zélie greets visitors at her home in Villeneuve d'Ascq	You see the French teacher ask children how they are as they come into the class...
The class sing the Title Song, "Salut! Ça va?" (words and music in the Teacher's Manual)	Animated cartoon: asking a "Giant" how he is. Find out more about the "Giants" of northern France in section 1....
In the video - or on the CD-ROM - you will see lots of people - children, adults and giants - meet up and ask "How are you?" You will hear how you can reply, depending on whether you are feeling really great, OK, sort-of-OK-ish, or not-OK-at-all.....

Make a puppet, or buy one....

If you make a puppet, you will always have someone to talk with in French!

Here's how to make a puppet that can only speak and understand French.

You can make a simple finger puppet with paper or felt; glove puppets can be made starting with a large old sock, a glove, or an old cuddly toy with the stuffing removed.

If you want to buy a ready-made puppet, Early Start can supply inexpensive finger puppets and really good hand puppets with expressive working mouths - see Puppets page for more....
