A day in French - 46 - Christmas

SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

Joyeux Noël ! Mes meilleurs voeux à tous. Je vous souhaite de passer de merveilleuses fêtes. Voilà. Alors, bienvenue pour ce nouvel épisode. Today, because it's Christmas, I'm going to share a story that I saw in a newspaper.

It's aimed at A2 learners, so beginner +. The whole episode uses the present tense.

We also have a sprinkle of passive voice so if you'd like to review this, stay tuned. There are also some colourful phrases you can learn to enrich your vocabulary.

If you'd like to grab all the goodies I've just talked about, head over to frenchblabla.org or simply click the link below to download the study guide where you'll find the transcription, the vocabulary, the grammar focus and of course the writing challenge. You know the drill.
