Puzzle 2: Getting to Know You

★☆☆☆☆

Find these French words in the grid. Only the dark part of each entry is hidden; words run in any direction. Say each one once before you circle it.

Say-it cues are English-friendly spellings, as in the book: read each one smoothly. ~ marks a nasal vowel (let the air flow through your nose, no n sound); ü is ee said with rounded lips.
