The right sense: one word, several senses

A sentence, then the pictures of the senses of the same word. “Je me regarde dans la glace”: the child circles the mirror. “Je mange une glace”: the ice cream. It is the format of the French national tests, and the polysemy worked on orally from age 4. The senses and their pictures come from a Lexikit list reviewed one by one, in French for now.
