Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! Attending plays at your local French theater is your favorite weekend activity. You often see famous works by French playwrights, many of whom lived and thrived in France well over a century ago. You usually find, however, that the works still have an important role in French society, and you believe their message continues to affect the French people.
In this lesson, you will learn how to use the negative form of the passé compose so that you can speak in French about facts in the past that did not happen.

The Paris metro is the pride of all of France. Travel brochures always point out the metro as something all visitors must try. But you might find yourself disappointed when you turn up at the local station to find out that there has been a strike! In this Audio Blog you will experience a Parisan week during the public transportation strike. Live and learn how to take advantages of the situation and how it can be frustrating for someone living it! 
Silly Simon stretches out on his beach towel, baking under the hot sun. He turns up the volume on his iPod. ‘“Why? Porquoi?” says the voice coming out of his earbuds. “You have to take care on the beach, because in France the tides are fast…” says the other. Yeah, yeah. Thinks Silvain. That Silvain, he’s a joker! Always exaggerating. Suddenly his iPod cuts out. He feels around for it. To his horror, he finds his precious 32G iPod Touch in a cold puddle next to him. Suddenly a wave splashes against his ankles. Then another comes up to his knees. The next comes up to his belly button, then his shoulders, and before Silly Simon can even get up, the North Atlantic current takes him out to sea, and sweeps him north. He eventually staggers ashore in southern Finland, shivering, suffering from hypothermia, and worst of all, his iPod is ruined. Today’s Culture Class is all about French beaches. If you are actually on a French beach as you are listening, we recommend you keep an eye open for the tides. Silvain isn’t kidding when he says that they are fast.
