About this episode

Bonjour à tous and welcome back to the podcast!

In today's episode, we continue with a fun theme that started with a very unusual discovery.

Last time, I found a hedgehog in the middle of the city! If you missed that episode, go check it out. It's a great opportunity to learn new vocabulary and discover a touching rescue story.

Today, the adventure continues, but this time, it's not about animals. I stumbled upon something else unusual on the sidewalk that led me on a small mystery.

This episode is perfect for learners who want to speak French more fluently by practicing real-life storytelling.

If you enjoyed my previous story, you'll definitely love this one too. Along the way, you'll learn useful vocabulary and focus on an important grammar point for intermediate learners: adverbs ending in "-ment."

 

In this Episode:

  • Vocabulary Expansion: Learn everyday French words related to daily life, small mysteries, and neighbourhoods.
  • Grammar Mastery: Learn how to use adverbs ending in "-ment" to make your sentences more fluid and expressive as you speak French.
  • Challenge: Take on a mini task at the end of the episode to apply what you've learnt!

 

Whether you're here to improve your storytelling or just looking for a fun way to speak French better, this episode will help you boost your skills while enjoying a surprising urban story.

Don't forget to download the complete guide below (transcript, vocabulary, and grammar focus)
