A day in French - 52 - Seashells

SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

Hey folks, welcome back to a new episode, where I dive into my laid-back morning stroll on the 'plage'—that's 'beach' in French for those diving into the language with me. This episode is all about the simple pleasures of the beach in French culture, from the seashells I found to the unique way I decided to cook them. Plus, I've got the scoop on beach etiquette in France.

So there I was, walking on the beach in French territory, when I came across an array of seashells. It sparked a little culinary idea in me. Why not cook these seashells? Turned out to be a delicious decision. Along the way, I picked up on some do's and don'ts of French beach etiquette that I thought were pretty interesting to share.

 

In this Episode:

  • Seashell Vocabulary: I'll share the French names for the cool seashells I found on the beach.
  • Beach Etiquette: Picked up some tips on how to behave on the beach. There's a certain way to do things here.
  • Grammar Nuggets: We'll tackle how to express obligations and prohibitions in French, super useful for beach-related and other scenarios.

 

Join me for a chill recount of my beach day in France. Whether you're here for the French lessons, curious about my seashell cooking experiment, or just in it for the beach tales, this episode's got a bit of everything.
