SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

Happy to be back after my holiday break. It went really too fast. I guess it's always like that when you have a break from work. It's never long enough. That being said, let's not forget that it's 2022 now, so bonne année à tous, je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès avec votre français et surtout la santé. C'est important en ce moment. 

As you know, I'm not big on watching sports on tv but my partner is. It's always a source of surprise and learning. He's been really into rugby these past months, mainly because the NHL matches are unwatchable with their commercial breaks every 5 minutes. He noticed a big difference between the way north american commentators talk about matches and the way French commentators do. If you've been following the podcast for some time, you may get where I'm heading with this.
