Through work on 6 activities written in 7 romance languages: Portughese, Occitan, French, Italian, Spanish, Rumanian and Catalan, the learner gets to present numeric data in tables and graphs, as well as to understand the proportionality (population and surface area of different countries, exchange rates of Euro and English Pound). In the section “Allons plus loin” (Let’s go further) the learner makes calculations about different postage rates in his/her head and this leads him/her to situate different destinations. A section dedicated to explicit linguistic discovery invites the learner to reflect about culinary specialities reserved for festive occasions (Christmas, birthdays …) in the different countries observed. Linguistic content: identification of connectors and conjunctions related to cause and consequence, opposition, and situation in space as well as interrogative pronouns. Examination and comparison of these parts of speech.

Approach: Intercomprehension

Type of material: Iconic documents; sound
