Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! Your girlfriend has made all sorts of ridiculous demands and complaints in French, and you’ve almost reached the end of your rope. She tells you in French, “Six months ago, I asked you to start making changes, but so far, nothing has changed. You respond in French, “What are you talking about?” She reminds you in French, “I asked you to start doing more things around the house…remember? You are supposed to be in charge of some chores each week. And you’re also supposed to start doing nice things for me from time to time.” You reply in French, “But I am doing more things. I take out the trash and do whatever it is that you tell me to do.” She responds in French, “I shouldn’t have to tell you do to anything. You’re a grown adult. The only thing I asked of you in addition to helping me with chores is that you start to enjoy some of the same things I enjoy…like certain kinds of dancing and music. Until you can do that, perhaps it’s best if we don’t see each other.” You tell her in French, “It’s one thing to help out with chores, and I don’t mind doing that, but it’s another to expect me to like everything you like! I draw the line at disco music!” She yells back in French, “I’ve had enough, and I’m leaving!”

I would like you to tell me now! NOW!” You tell her in French, “I’d like to tell you, but you’ll just have to be patient.” You continue in French, “Now, here’s a question for you!

Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! You grab your friend, pack your bags, and head to France for a little rest and relaxation. After the tumultuous events of the last few weeks - getting passed over for a promotion at work and ending your relationship with your significant other - you decide a little French vacation is exactly what the doctor ordered. Of course, your phone is ringing off the hook (don’t they know you have to pay French roaming fees if you answer?). Exasperated, you complain to your friend in French, “I never get any time to myself, and the one time I do take off, I can’t get away!” As soon as you utter that French statement, the phone vibrates and rings again. You check the caller id and notice your boss is calling despite knowing that you’re in France. You answer the phone and say in French, “I took a vacation two years ago and haven’t taken one since, and now I’ve arrived in France to relax and get away from the office. But is there something you want?” For a moment you wonder whether you’ve gone too far, and you’re about to stammer an apology in French. But he says in English, “I don’t understand French. But I get your point…I’ll ask you one last question and then I’ll lay off the rest of your vacation.” Whew!
