You have barely been in France a day when you make plans for an entire day of shopping in Paris! You have bought all the French magazines that show the styles for the following seasons, and you have practiced bargaining in French so you can get some good deals. You think you have all the bases covered…until you arrive at the first store. The French store is closed, and so is the second, and the third…in fact, they are all closed! There are signs on the doors with the store hours in French, but you cannot read the days they are open because they are in French! There are also other signs hanging in some of the windows, but they are also in French. Did you read the part of the magazine that mentioned the stores might close on July 14th? Maybe you should start your “shopping for days” with FrenchPod101.com’s Beginner Lesson 18!

Podcast Erratum: In the podcast, you hear the translation for jeudi with the English word Tuesday. This is an editing mistake. You should hear jeudi  Thursday.

Hmmm jeudi because it’s the happy hour day! Which day is your lucky day?

Bonjour jacqueline

It’s been a while! Maybe you have a specific lucky number, color, stone, or plant?
My grand-mother used to say the number 6 was one. It followed her all her life (house number, important dates in her life etc)

how about you do you have anything lucky? Are you superstitious?

Munia says:

I’m not superstitious at all. I don’t have a lucky number or day, and I don’t believe that breaking mirrors or black cats bring you bad luck. Superstitions are interesting to me, but only from a cultural point of view.

Bonjour Munia

I’m not superstitious or only when it suits me! ;)
I will definitely not arrange my life around superstitions! What a draaag….!!!! By the way, I have a black cat, so I guess that tells you something!

Do you live according to superstitions?

Celine says:

Je ne pense pas être superstitieuse mais parfois je me dis “bon on ne sait jamais…” alors quand je renverse du sel sur la table, je jete du sel par dessus mon épaule pour conjurer le mauvais sort ou parce que tout le monde le fait chez moi !

Comme disait Baudelaire : “La superstition est le réservoir de toutes les vérités.”

MF says:

i think you made a mistake in the vocabulary part of the podcast and said that ‘jeudi’ is tuesday rather than thursday

Angele says:

Bonjour MF

Oh oh tu as raison. Je pense que cést une erreur de l’éditeur qui ne parle pas français ! Je vais rajouter une note dans le PDF.

Merci.

lundi parce que c’est le jour que je ne travail pas.

je ne suis pas superstitieuse, mais quelque fois, moi aussi, je pense “on ne sait jamais”…

mais je ne croix absolument que les chats noires portent malchance!

Angele says:

C’est vrai dans le doute, pourquoi ne pas tenter !
J ai un chat noir et heureusement il ne me porte pas mal chance!
Mais il miaule beaucoup… même le matin. C est pratique, c’est comme un réveil!

Et toi tu te réveilles aussi sur les bruits d’un animal de compagnie ? un chien qui aboit peut-être ?
