    Document PDF : Song from Grégoire "Toi plus moi"

    Here is the first song from Grégoire "toi plus moi".

    We can use this song to practice recognizing and differentiating the nasal sounds of French.

    So watch the video clip once, just to discover the song.

    Then, let's do a phonetic exercise. In the lyrics, you have words with 2 points (example : m••de), and parenthesis at the end of the line. This means there is a nasal sound where the points are.

    Try to figure out which nasal sound is in the word and write in the parenthesis which one you think it is. You can put a number between 1 to 3 or write the phonetic sign.

    The 3 options here are :

    - EN/AN (1) [ɑ̃]

    - ON (2) [ɔ]

    - IN/UN (3) [ɛ]
