Talk about the photos on your phone or in an album. In this set, you meet everyday words to point out where people are in the frame, say what they are doing and wearing, and share simple memories.
- Notice how French uses sur la photo (on the photo) rather than 'in'.
- Learn position words in pairs like à gauche and à droite, or devant and derrière.
- Practice by opening your own camera roll and describing two or three pictures out loud.
Voca-kort
1.
la photo
photo, picture
J'ai beaucoup de photos sur mon téléphone.

2.
regarder
to look, to look at
Regarde, c'est notre voyage en Italie.
Look, this is our trip to Italy.
Unlike in English, you do not put a preposition like 'at' after 'regarder'.

Mon ami prend toujours de très bonnes photos.
My friend always takes really good photos.

Add 'de' to say 'in the middle of' something, like 'au milieu de la place'.

Everyone is standing near the table.
An adverb, so its spelling never changes for feminine or plural.
