| Hi everyone! I'm Erwan. |
| Bonjour tout le monde, c'est Erwan. |
| Welcome to the French whiteboard lessons. |

| Let's get started. |
| Ok, let's look at the vocabulary. |

| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read |
| I want you to pay attention to the occupation. |
| Find where it is and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| Êtes-vous étudiant? |
| Non, je ne suis pas étudiant. |
| Je suis investisseur. |
| Are you a student? |
| No |
| I am not a student. |
| I am an investor. |
| Now, let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern will be the structure that our dialogue followed. |
| Je suis |
| occupation. |
| Je suis |
| occupation. |
| The verb être, to be, |
| in French, is used to express your occupation. |
| In the present tense, |
| je suis means I am. |
| The negative structure in French is |
| ne, verb, pas. |
| It's used to negate a phrase or a sentence. |
| In the case of |
| je ne suis pas étudiant |
| it means I am not a student. |
