Your French company is having a huge party to celebrate their twentieth anniversary of going global! At first, you hated the idea, but you have really been working hard and you could really use a little break. Besides, it will give you a chance to get to know that cute redhead in accounting. Suddenly your French boss storms through the door of your office and awakens you from your daydream about the French redhead. He tells you in French that he wants you to be his right-hand man. Great, that sounds promising! Oh, he wants you to buy the food for the party…not quite the promotion you were hoping for. He says to make sure you get plenty of what…Choucroute garnie? How do you buy something when you don’t even know what it is? Something else you need to think about is how much is plenty, or too much, or enough…and how do you say that in French? It’s not going to impress your hottie from accounting if you cannot say common amounts in French! At this rate, you won’t amount to much at all either!

Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! In this French Lower Intermediate lesson, you will learn how to express quantities in French in a variety of different ways! You will also learn what Choucroute garnie is!

How could you let this happen? You got everything ready last night so this wouldn’t happen! It’s your first day at your new job in Paris and you are already late! This is not a good way to start. You set your alarm clock last night, but you should have asked someone what time it is in France. Only, you don’t know how to say, “what time is it?” in French! It would have at least been helpful to know what time zone France is in! I suppose it is a little too late to ask now!

Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! This French Beginner lesson will teach you how to ask what time it is in French, and teach you how to discuss different scenarios regarding time in French. You will also learn a little history about the Greenwich Mean Time, what time zone France is in (so you don’t have an excuse to be late again), and the French Speaking Clock!

Learn French with Frenchpod101.com! We all like to be mistaken for French people when we speak French. But sometimes small things give us away as having learnt French as adults, instead of having spoken it since infancy. The other day, when I met a French friend of Alex’s, she picked me immediately as a foreigner. I just had to ask her. “What gave me away? Was that my ‘r’s weren’t guttoral enough? Did I kiss you on the wrong cheek? Did I not moan about the quality of the food enough?” “Liaison” was her simple answer. “Liaison?” I asked. “What’s that?” It was then that Alex chimed in. “Don’t worry,” he said. “There’s a lesson on liaison coming up at FrenchPod101.com. Lower Intermediate #17. Listen to it.”

In today’s lesson we are learning about pronunciation, accent and linked sound. Listen, follow and read aloud the script of a humurous flight attendant, right after landing in an European airport! Guess where they are before picking up the PDF at Frenchpod101.com!
