This free document is an exercise using the traditional Louisiana song "Je m'endors" to practice the verb être, expressions with avoir, and a few prepositions in Louisiana French. Part of a series by La Relève Louisiane pairing popular songs with grammar explanations, the 3-page document has explanations in English and a few fill-in-the-blank exercises, before putting what you’ve reviewed in context using the song.

You can check your answers to the fill-in-the-blank questions using the answer key at the bottom of the page, and by the end of the exercise you will have learned a new song in Louisiana French. If you're feeling timid about speaking out loud, music is a good baby step. You can sing along with the song and practice pronunciation!
