Chapitre 39 - Tout ça c'est grâce à vous...

COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

In this dialogue chapter we finally get to hear the voice of a familiar character and, at long last, Yvette meets her father properly. We also witness Max and James’ reunion as they discuss the recent events. Throughout this dialogue chapter we hear many examples of informal, spoken French. Some interesting words and expressions to listen out for include: voir venir quelqu’un, épauler and c’est … tout craché.


There's also an online course version of La Vérité éclate toujours which provides access to a range of additional materials including the text of each chapter, annotated notes, language study podcasts, vocabulary lists, video versions of each episode and our atelier linguistique which helps you to take the language you've covered in each chapter further. This course is available on the Coffee Break Academy.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
