French Blabla

Bonjour à tous, Welcome to the eleventh episode of the French Blabla podcast where we will cover tips to increase your fluency while boosting your way of learning. This episode is once again inspired by one of my advanced student who told me a story of an embarrassing situation she experienced in a shop in Paris. She was shocked that nobody told her about that. Today we’re going to study together the real French manners when you go to shops so that you don’t have to experience what my student did. Stay tuned! In this Episode A common French attitude Learn the real French etiquette Stop saying “je voudrais” Some listening practice Share your anecdotes in the comment section Have something like that ever happened to you? Have you ever found yourself in a situation you didn’t understand? How did you react? If you have some embarrassing or funny stories to share, I’ll be delighted to read them. I’ll be waiting for you in the comment section. Music by bensound.com

Coucou à tous, Did you like the first part of the Fairytale series? If you've missed it, click here and let's do the first part together. I hope it was helpful to you and that le passé composé is crystal-clear. Today we will focus on a new fairytale, less famous than le Petit Chaperon Rouge. With it, we will study our second past tense: l'imparfait. How we use it is very different than with our other past tense and the study guide that I made will help you practice. Share your memories in the comment section In the study guide, there’s a new creative exercise for you to do. If you’d like me to have a look at it, please share it in the comment section. This time you won't have to make a story, you'll be invited to share some childhood memories. I'm really looking forward to sharing with you on the blog. Stay tuned for the final part of the Fairy Tale series where we’ll cover how to use the passé composé and l'imparfait together. A très vite,
