Cet épisode est le récit d’un déjeuner à la maison, cette semaine, avec mes trois filles qui suivent de près l’actualité des manifestations lycéennes.

La consigne d’écriture qui accompagne cet épisode (offre d’automne sur www.onethinginafrenchday.com) permet de s’entraîner à écrire des phrases dont on pourrait perdre le contrôle à l’oral parce qu’elles sont longues et contiennent des négations. Là, nous nous posons cinq minutes pour écrire.

This episode is the story of a lunch at home this week with my three daughters, who are closely following the news about the high school student protests.

The writing prompt that goes with this episode (part of the autumn offer on www.onethinginafrenchday.com) lets you practise writing the kind of sentences you might lose control of when speaking, because they're long and full of negations. Here, we take five minutes to sit down and write.

About this episode: a true story of French daily life, told in authentic spoken French. Over a family lunch near Paris, my teenage daughters decode French Gen Z slang and the “refs” of the French high school protests, a school principal answers with an aura battle and a poem, and Descartes gets a teenage remix. A good fit for learners who want to learn French and discover real French youth culture and life in Paris.
