A&I - Dialogue 1: The Tie Guy

The letters A and I present difficulties for native French speakers. So I have invented two characters called "A" and "I". They will use a lot of words with long A and I sounds. Long sounds sound like the names of the letters - A (like EH in French) and I (like AIE in French).

Les lettres A et I présentent des difficultés pour les francophones. J'ai donc inventé deux personnages appelés "A" et "I". Ils utiliseront beaucoup de mots avec de longs sons A et I. Les sons longs ressemblent aux noms des lettres - A (comme EH en français) et I (comme AIE en français).

Here is a short dialog between A&I.
Voici un court dialogue entre A & I.

A - Hi I!

I - Hey A!

A - Why I! I like your new tie!

I - Say A! Thanks for saying so!

A - But I! Why the tie?

I - It was my birthday yesterday, A. 

A - Did someone buy you a tie, I?

I - My cousin Jay, A. He bought it on eBay!

A - No way! I think I need a tie too, I!

I - I agree A. You need a tie too!

A - Where can I buy a tie?

I - Hmmmm. Why, I know! There's a new tie shop in town.

A - What's the name?

I - It's called "The Tie Guy".

A - Why, that rhymes! I like it!

I - I like it too!

A - Oh look! I spy "The Tie Guy".

I - Hey A! High five!

A - I want to buy a tie at "The Tie Guy"!

I - You can try!

A - And look, I. They have free wifi!

I - Great ties and free wifi! Sigh! It's to die for!

*****A goes into shop and buys a tie from The Tie Guy*****

A - Why, I. Do you like my new tie?

I - I like it, A! Say! What did you pay?

A - Only $5.88. [five eighty-eight]

I - That's a good buy for a tie!

A - You don't say! 

I - What a great day, A!
A - Bye, I. Gotta fly!
I - Bye-bye! Enjoy your tie!

A and I

 Introducing our new characters:
 A and I. 

A is from Canada. She's Canadian, eh? (Actually, we don't really say that in Canada, but...)

I is from Ireland.

They are here to teach YOU how to say A and I correctly because native French speakers have trouble with these two letters.







Présentation de nos nouveaux personnages:

  A et I.

"A" vient du Canada. Elle est canadienne, hein? (En fait, nous ne le disons pas vraiment au Canada, mais ...)

"I" viens d'Irlande.

Ils sont là pour vous apprendre à dire A et moi correctement parce que les francophones ont du mal avec ces deux lettres.
