A day in French - 25 - Croque-Monsieur

SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

Last time, we talked about ice cream and today we will talk about croque monsieur. If there's one dish you can make at home that is super easy and really French, it's the croque-monsieur. With a side of salad, you've got yourself a perfect lunch. I encourage you to try. If you do, please let me know. Coincidentally, Marcel Proust will make an appearance again in this episode.

Today, the grammar focus is for B students as we will review the two conditionals, present and past. As usual, with this episode comes a study guide that contains the transcription, the vocabulary and the grammar focus. You might want to check it out. Don't forget to download it. Stay tuned!

 

In this Episode

  • How the croque-monsieur was invented
  • Review the conditionals present and past
  • A challenge for you to shine
