Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! You are in France doing some business with your company’s main headquarters and you have attended meetings all afternoon. You are supervising how the staff is performing their job at the France company, and although you are satisfied with how the France company is being handled, you still have to figure out what can be improved within the company. You have spoken with many of the company’s staff and most of the staff seems very pleased with the way they are treated. You asked each one what their jobs entailed. A secretary you spoke with replied in French, “Typing and reading e-mails, making phone calls, answering customers’ question…you know, the usual stuff.” The next person you spoke with answered in French, “I attend meetings all day!” But they all seem happy…and the work is getting done. Wait…who is that? You ask a man sitting at a desk drinking coffee what he does all day. He replies in French, “I drink my coffee.” Astonished, you ask him why he doesn’t do anything else. He replies in French, “Because I am the boss!” Well, at least you were able to work with your French skills for a little bit anyway.

Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! As the man and woman on the screen in the French movie lean toward each other and kiss, you let out an audible sigh. Your friend nudges you and whispers in French, “What was that for?” You respond in French, “Oh, it’s just so romantic!” Your friend replies in French, “You mean it’s so unrealistic. You’re a hopeless romantic. People don’t just fall in love at first sight in real life.” Your friend pauses for a moment to think and then adds in French, “In fact, no one has asked me out in quite some time!” Moments later after the movie ends and you’re walking out of the theater, someone taps you on the arm and says in French, “I couldn’t help but notice how attractive you were when you walked into the theater tonight. Here’s my number. Maybe we can get together for a coffee?” As you smile and tell the person “Yes, of course,” in French, you elbow your friend in the ribs as if to say, “So there! You were wrong to tell me that!” in French!

Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! You are enjoying what was a quiet picnic lunch in a quiet France park, when suddenly, your children come barreling towards you screaming! It seems like it takes ten minutes to calm them and their friends down enough so that you can concentrate on one voice at a time! Your son yells in French, “Mom, mom!!! We were at the pond and we saw something moving in the water!!” His friend, equally excited, continues in French, “Come see, come see!! Pleeeease! What IS it?” Laughing, both out of relief and because they are adorable, you agree to go explore the depths of the pond with them. As you reach the edge of the water, both boys are tugging at you and screaming in French, “See it? There it is!! What is that???” You move a little closer to get a better look, almost stumbling into the water (which you are SURE they would have enjoyed tremendously), when you realize what it is they are talking about. You point to the little swimmer in the water and tell the boys in French, “That is a frog…and that one there, that is a newt.” The boys stare into the water with a newfound fascination; you can almost hear the wheels spinning in their heads, when they turn and look at you and both reply in French, “Can we keep him, can we keep him?
