(Coming soon!)
Great to see you back on Frenchpod101.com. Happy Patty has just enough food and just enough chairs and just enough wine for everyone at her party. She hates it when someone brings an uninvited guest, or when someone cancels without letting her know, so in today’s dialogue she is confirming with Bruno that he is coming.
Today, we ‘re learning how to describe trips between 2 points and about the very French word “chez”. Try to find out why by trying out the French Review in the Learning Center, where you’ll find test comprehension, vocabulary.

How do you tell the person you are talking to that he is not making any sense?

you can say:
- tu dis n’importe quoi !
- C’est n’importe quoi
- Ca n’a aucun sens

I like to say, “Alors là, je n’ai rien compris!”
“Pendaison de cremaillere” is a totally new expression for me. I guess I never had friends that had housewarming parties here 
(You don’t have to literally be hanging a pot rack in your new home to use that expression, right? 
)

Hello
Jacqueline
Thank you again to let me know about this issue. 
The Audio file is now complete and ready to be listened to! Enjoy!
It seems my computer has some strange behaviors and is quite picky in the way I treat it!
We would say in French “Il est a prendre avec des pincettes”. Litterally it translates to “He is to be taken with twizers” meaning someone who demands to be treated in a special way and is very difficult to please. (as my computer)

In the podcast, you said “demenager” means to move to a new house. How do you say “move” to another country in an informal way? “Immigrate” and “emigrate” sound so formal. How do you say: “We moved here 2 years ago (meaning we came to this country 2 years ago)?

you would say : Nous sommes arrivés il y a deux ans. (we arrived 2 years ago)
and yes we don’t use the verb immigrer.
ciao !
