Ep55 - Don't always say "au revoir", say...

SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

Coucou à tous, je suis heureuse de vous retrouver pour un nouvel épisode. 

Today’s topic is a request from one of my students, Leah. We’ve been working together for some time now in my Let’s Talk conversation class. I was surprised when she asked me to cover this. I’m always very glad to receive suggestions because even though I try my best to cover everything you need to speak like a native, I cannot possibly come up with every idea in the world. Leah’s French is good and as such, her request really took me by surprise. She asked me to cover the different ways to say goodbye. You know, this is typical of certain topics we, as French teachers, take for granted, we don’t think twice about them. Something like goodbye, as simple as it seems, deserves an episode because there are numerous ways to express this idea. And you might be surprised, so stay tuned because I have one goodbye you probably don’t know and a bonus hello I’m sure you don’t use at all even though you should.

 

In this Episode

  • The truth behind the word "adieu"
  • This special way to use "à bientôt"
  • A bonus hello that you probably don't know
