Learn French with FrenchPod101! Paris, 1785. A stocky French student says that, now that he has graduated from school, he will set out to conquer all of Europe. He will unite all of Europe, and will make himself Emperor. His classmates look at him blankly. They don’t understand a word he has said. You see, in those days they didn’t have the benefits of free mp3s from FrenchPod101.com, and his classmates hadn’t yet learned how to use the future tense in the French language.

In today’s lesson Tiny Rémy shares with his mum his dream job and how it will be. He and mom both use future time indicators to show that they are talking about something that is happening later. To find out which occupation he is speaking about be sure to pick up the PDF at Frenchpod101.com.

You know, I felt like I really looked good today when I left my apartment…but I had no idea the impact my new French jeans would have! I decided to go shopping today in Paris…take advantage of the couple of weeks I have left before school starts. Maybe the Parisian people mistook me for Angelina Jolie. I mean…it could happen. The minute I stepped onto the Paris streets, there were French paparazzi everywhere! I couldn’t escape the cameras anywhere in Paris! The French people were screaming things at me too…it must have been some sort of new French slang though because it sounded like another language to me. They almost seemed angry…I guess because I was trying so hard to escape them. What’s that? Oh yeah…I knew they were tourists…I was just joking. As if they really wanted me standing in front of the Eiffel Tower! But I did look good in those French jeans you know!
