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.
