Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to furnish a simple description of a recent vacation in French?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Fanny, and this is Three Step French by FrenchPod101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to describe a recent trip or holiday using le passé composé, the French tense for completed actions in the past.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
Christophe, raconte tes vacances en Bretagne.
C'était incroyable ! On a passé une semaine près de la mer.
Vous logiez dans un hôtel ou un gîte ?
Dans un petit gîte cosy, juste à côté de la plage.
Tu as visité des villes connues ?
Oui, on a découvert Saint‑Malo et mangé des crêpes chaque jour.
Let's hear it with the English translation.

Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
