Podcast Series Coffee Break French

We have reached the final episode of the Coffee Break French Magazine Season 2 and we're going out with a bang as we're discussing one of the most widely celebrated holidays in France - Bastille Day! As we discover how le quatorze juillet is celebrated in Paris, we learn some interesting expressions like grasse matinée, avoir la chance de faire qqch and finir la journée en beauté. Listen out for some reflexive verbs along the way, some examples of direct object pronouns and the use of the perfect tense, the future tense and the imperative.

On Track Companion Podcast, Episode 1 (français) | Venise

This is the companion podcast to On Track Episode 1: the first day of the race, starting in Venice. The episode itself is on the Coffee Break Languages YouTube channel, and it's best to watch that first. We talk about how the day went, so be aware there will be spoilers! Watch On Track Episode 1: https://youtu.be/_-_lH0rYCVg Max tells the story of day one from Team Blue's side, in a short French text written for learners. We read it through, talk about the language in it, then read it again, so by the end you'll understand every word. Max uses "on" rather than "nous" all the way through, which is how most French speakers say "we" in everyday conversation. There are a couple of phrases worth taking on your own travels too, like "avoir hâte de" and "rattraper son retard". Can't wait a week?
