Un dîner entre filles avec Pauline et Marilyne et très vite la conversation glisse vers le blocus du lycée de Lisa.

If you want listening practice (compréhension orale) with real, spoken French, this episode is for you.

Level: B1–B2. Everyday words (cadeau, dîner, gousses d'ail, gingembre) sit next to the vocabulary of current events (blocus, manifestation, moyens), so you can follow the story with the first and stretch your ear with the second. Listen once for the story, then again for the way we react to each other.

Pour les abonnés, la lettre de cet épisode contient des questions avant l'écoute, des repères pour comprendre le contexte, un petit exercice d'écriture avec corrigé et un point de langue à rendre automatique.
