Stage 5 · Lesson 1/4 20 min

After the 14-day path: A day: where I am and what I am doing

Say where you are, what you are doing, what you plan to do today or this weekend, and mention one interest.

Today’s real taskSend a voice message telling a friend where you are now and what you are doing.

Minimum speaking outputI am at the office. / I am working. / And you, where are you?

Only notice this today: être à = to be at/in; travailler = to work; où est-ce que…? = where…?

Keep the same loop

Build the frame with today’s three lines, then replace the place, time, or activity with your own information.

Teacher’s note for first-time learners

Say where you are, then what you are doing

Listen · copy · use

“
Keep Je suis au bureau and Je travaille separate for clarity. Short sentences are controllable, not childish.

Pronunciation focus

Pronunciation focus: keep Je suis au… flowing; do not isolate au as a translated word.

One trap to avoid

Common trap: giving only the place. Add Je travaille to complete the update.

End-of-lesson check: Self-check: can I say where I am and what I am doing?

Beginner mode

Follow this order: listen → understand → speak

You do not need to finish every block in one sitting. For today, aim for 15–25 minutes and three clear sentences.

Today's goal: 3 sentences

1ListenListen once before looking at the answer.2UnderstandRead the translation and keep one useful pattern.3ShadowShadow each line twice; copy the rhythm before chasing perfection.4PracticeDo one small set; read the explanation and retry mistakes.5ReviewCome back on D+1, D+3, D+7, and D+14 after today.

Stop here when today’s minimum is doneSay three core expressions, complete one substitution set, and leave one short recording.

Everything below is extra practice.

Stuck? Use one of these four fixes

I cannot hear itSlow the voice down, listen once, then look at the translation.I cannot say itPlay one line and copy it three times; stop after one usable line.I cannot remember itReplace one name or detail with your own instead of memorizing a list.I do not want to recordWhisper or record one sentence first. A short imperfect recording still counts.

Use être à to say where someone is

To say where you are, follow Je suis with à, au, or à la. Learn Je suis au bureau and Je suis à la maison as ready-to-use chunks.

PatternJe suis à/au/à la + place

Je suis au bureau et je travaille.I am at the office and I am working.

Small tip: Learn the place phrase as a whole; do not expand every à and de contraction today.

Open the full lesson: Prepositions of place

Quick understanding check

Check what you understood, not what you memorized

Choose an answer for each item. This is not a grade; replay the phrase and try again when you miss one.

0/3

Where is the speaker in Je suis au bureau?

What does Je travaille mean?

What does Où est-ce que vous êtes? ask?
