To prepare, the following list of vocabulary words should be practiced. This list will likely be updated as each of you translate your 3 favorite yoga poses. (For those that have not yet completed your profile info with favorites, please email those to me.) After you translate your poses, please share them with us in a comment (by Monday the 19th so we have plenty of time to practice them) and I will add them to the vocab list. If you think a word or phrase should be added to the list or you spot an error in translation, please leave it in the comments as well.
Lesson 1:
1. Translate your 3 favorite yoga poses and submit them in a comment to this post. They should be in the following format: French word = English translation. Example: arbre = tree
2. Practice saying the vocabulary words. Tool: Google has a translation tool you might like. https://translate.google.com/?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&client=tw-ob#auto/fr/ The best part, it has a "listen" button.
