Lesson Roleplay
Imagine you're on a hill, observing the landscape. You spot movement in the distance and alert your companion. At first, it seems like it could be a threat, but your companion isn't convinced and suggests it might just be innocent. You both try to discern what you're seeing and speculate on the intentions of the group moving towards a nearby stream.
Regarde! En haut de la colline, à gauche!
Look! At the top of the hill, to the left!
Ah oui, je vois. C'est quoi ça, une vache?
Oh yes, I see. What is that, a cow?
Non, c'est clairement un ennemi. Il a un très gros fusil!
No, it's clearly an enemy. He has a very big gun!
Ou peut-être c'est juste un gros bâton. On ne sait jamais ici!
Or maybe it's just a big stick. You never know around here!
Concentre-toi! Ils bougent vers le ruisseau maintenant.
Focus! They're moving towards the stream now.

Hill
💬 Final [e] is not pronounced, so [colline] sounds like (ko-leen), not (ko-lee-nuh). Double [ll] here is just an [l] sound.
