What are the days of the week in French?

lundi (Monday), mardi (Tuesday), mercredi (Wednesday), jeudi (Thursday), vendredi (Friday), samedi (Saturday) and dimanche (Sunday). The week starts on Monday and the names take no capital letter.

What are the months in French?

janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août, septembre, octobre, novembre, décembre. Like the days, they’re written in lower case, and you say en mars or au mois de mars for “in March”.

How do you say the date in French?

le + the number + the month: le treize mars, written le 13 mars. The 1st is the exception, le premier mai (1er mai). With the day, it’s le jeudi 13 mars.

What does “jeudi prochain” mean in French?

The next Thursday to come. In practice it usually means next week’s Thursday; for the one this week, people say ce jeudi or just jeudi. jeudi dernier is the most recent Thursday before today.

How do you tell the time in French?

With heures: dix-huit heures quinze is 18 h 15 (6:15 p.m.). Timetables use the 24-hour clock; in everyday speech you also hear six heures et quart du soir. midi is noon and minuit midnight.

Is Drone delivery free to play?

Yes. The first 6 levels are free with no sign-up, and levels 7 to 12 are free with an account, which also saves your stars on every device. Levels 13 to 30 come with Premium, together with every 3D game’s later levels and all the mock tests.

Days of the week and months in French: hear it, deliver it

La livraison par drone

A listening game for the days of the week, the months, dates and times in French. A customer tells you when they want their parcel (samedi, le vingt et un mars, dix-huit heures quinze) and you drop it from your drone onto the right square of a giant calendar. Thirty levels in five worlds take you from lundi and mardi to jeudi prochain, dans quinze jours and appointments that move, the way people really say them.

How to play

1Listen to the customer: replay it, or slow it down, as often as you like.
2When the voice stops, the clock runs: tap the square they mean and the drone drops the parcel.
3Wrong door? See the right square, the sentence word for word and why.

What it trains

Hearing calendar French at natural speed: the days of the week (mardi or mercredi?), the twelve months and four seasons, dates with le premier and look-alikes like treize and trois, the 24-hour clock and everyday times (moins le quart, du soir), and the words that shift a day: hier, demain, prochain, dernier, dans huit jours, la veille.

Why it matters for TCF and TEF Canada

Dates and times carry the answer in many TCF Canada and TEF Canada listening questions: when a shop opens, when a meeting moves, when a train leaves. The TEF Canada listening test includes public announcements and answering-machine messages, and in both tests each recording is played only once. Catching the day and the time on the first try helps you reach the listening level you need, whether that’s NCLC 7 for Express Entry or NCLC 4 for citizenship.

Rules and tips to remember

Monday comes first
The French week starts on lundi and ends on dimanche, and day names take no capital: lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche.
Le premier, then plain numbers
The 1st is le premier; every other date uses the plain number: le deux mars, le vingt et un juin. No “the” and “of”: the number comes straight before the month.
Huit jours is one week
dans huit jours means in one week and dans quinze jours in two, because French counts today too. Aujourd’hui en huit is the same weekday next week.
Wait for the end of the sentence
In the last world, plans change: reporté au, pardon, je me suis trompé, jusqu’au 30 inclus. The date that counts is often the second one, so keep listening.
