4. Canva Design Rules
Your presentation should be visual, not a page full of text.
On each slide:
Use:
- 1 clear title
- 2–5 short French sentences
- pictures/icons/photos
- simple vocabulary
- large readable text
Avoid:
- long paragraphs;
- copying the complete speaking script onto every slide;
- very small text;
- too many animations;
- too many colours;
- difficult French that you cannot pronounce.
5. Canva Design Theme
Suggested style:
French Classroom / Modern Paris
Use:
- French-inspired colours;
- clean backgrounds;
- simple illustrations;
- photographs;
- speech bubbles;
- maps;
- French vocabulary labels.
Suggested fonts:
Title: Poppins / Montserrat
Body: Open Sans / Lato
Keep the same fonts throughout the presentation.
6. Speaking Rules
During your presentation:
1. Speak clearly
Don’t speak too quickly.
2. Look at your audience
Don’t read every word directly from the screen.
3. Use your slides as prompts
Your Canva presentation should help you remember what to say.
4. Pronounce carefully
Especially:
Je m’appelle
J’ai
Je suis
J’habite
Je parle
J’aime
5. Be confident
You don’t need perfect French.
Your goal is to communicate your identity clearly in French.
