How many times have you seen girls (and sometimes guys) screaming and crying on the front row at a concert? Yes, there is something sexy about a man playing a guitar…if he isn’t wearing spandex and over fifty-years-old, I guess. Wouldn’t it be something if we all received that sort of treatment? Imagine it! You are on your way to work at a little French coffee shop. You open the front door to your modest little apartment in Paris, when suddenly flashes erupt from everywhere! How did the French paparazzi find you again? You rush out the door, swarmed by a nest of hungry vultures, dying just to catch a glimpse of you to spread across the gossip pages! They beat down the doors of the French coffee shop all day, screaming and chanting your name in French, “Your Name, Your Name, Your Name!” On second thought, I enjoy being the vulture! By the way…purely out of curiosity, what is it that you do? Free lance investment banker? Lingerie model? Podcaster? (We wish!)
Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! In this French Beginner lesson, Sweety Aurélie is admiring Pimpel Daniel’s brother and asking about his job. Daniel blows off some steam at her, as she starts to get quite annoying! You will learn how to ask about someone’s occupation in French, taking care to use the right article. We will then look at some traditional French professions.

What was the strangest question someone asked you about a family member?
Friday at 3:57 am
How do you say in French “I like your older brother”?
J’aime ton frère aîné. (Is that correct?)
Pimple Daniel must be disappointed that Aurilie likes older guys. How does he ask her “Dans quoi es-tu, les mecs plus agés?” (Is that correct?)
Thursday at 5:57 pm
Oui j’aime ton frère aîné, c’est correct. Tu peux aussi dire : “J’aime ton grand frère”.
but if Daniel wants to ask Aurélie, it would be :
” Tu préfères les mecs plus âgés ?” (use this only with friends
)

Qqn m’a demandé si ma soeur plus âgée était ma mère. Elle était vingt ans où j’étais né.

Bonjour Shyralei
Si j ai bien compris ta soeur a vingt ans de plus que toi ?
C’est bien ça ?
Tu dirais : Elle avait vingt ans quand je suis née

La question plus bizarre a été si ma mère était ma grand-mère. Elle est encore furieuse avec la fille, une vendeuse dans un magasin, qui a posée ça question…
Wednesday at 9:26 am
Evidemment elle a ete furieuse ! Moi mon mari a déjà été pris pour mon père. Il faut dire que nous avons 16 ans de différence !
Je crois la question la plus bizarre quon m a poséé est “Pourquoi les français puent dans le métro ?
Je leur ai répondu car il fait chaud et les ventillations dans certaines veilles stations ne sont pas adaptées pour le flux de passagers en heures de pointes.
