What happened with the French guy you met in the park? Oh, he is very pretty to look at, but this is the most boring date you have ever been on in your life! It has dragged on for what seems like hours now! Do you know what my French fantasy actually does for a living? He counts pencils in a French pencil factory after big machines put them into boxes so they can ship them to stores. Yes, I have heard all about it! He asks me a question in French, I answer it in French, and then I ask him the same question in French again because I don’t want to waste precious brain cells creating my own questions. You know, in English we would just say, “and you?” I wish I knew how to say, “and you” in French! This freakish French misfortune might have ended hours ago if I did!

Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! In this French Beginner lesson, Sweety Aurélie just won’t let it go; she is letting Pimpel Daniel know exactly how much she likes his brother! She’s in for a nasty surprise, as Daniel lets her in on something important about his brother that might make her think twice about asking him for a date. You will continue to study the use of French verbs to express your degree of preference from the strongest like to the strongest dislike, as well as learn to negate these French verbs. Then we will discuss French stressed pronouns such as et toi (and you) and the rules for their use..
