You just got the job you have always wanted. Now, they want you to move to their office in France for the first year for training. The boss mentions in passing that you will get all of the benefits the employees at the French office enjoy. You are excited that he has given you this incredible opportunity to work at his company and now to travel to France as well! However, you are also a little saddened at the mention of moving halfway across the world. The thought continues to pop into your head, “what benefits do they have at the French office?” On your first day of work in your new French office, your new boss introduces you in French to everyone and shows you around the beautiful French building. As he goes over everything you need to know to begin working, he mentions your FIVE weeks of vacation time! What? Was he joking? Is this some sort of French initiation?
Learning French with FrenchPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn French! This French Audio Blog lesson is entirely in French. I would be willing to bet that you will still pick-up on the fact that the French average five weeks of vacation time a year though! Find out all about it here in French Audio Blog 11!
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. For more on French, including lessons on the French language, come to FrenchPod101.com!
