Conversations on Cooking and Food in a French Childhood

Learn French? We all know that being monolingual is a handicap in one way or another. I am talking to you, English speakers of the world who want more--- without spending more time on a screen.

Language that is used for the purpose of communicating something real is language that will be repeated day after day, and the repetition creates fluency. If you know you will not take the plunge alone, but this lifestyle of the two of you, hanging out and speaking together in French is what you desire, let us make it easy, fun and immediate for you with our French at Home: a Conversation or French at Home: a Debut offerings. Start now, today, and fill your day with the French you've always dreamed you would speak again...or for the first time.

A cultural conversation around cooking and family traditions in France (and even La Réunion). Thierry talks about cooking with his grandmother and more.

French from today:

une pastèque/mystery melon un cake/pound cake sort of aigre/sour épicé/spicy piquant/spicy

sucré/sweet salé/savory (all adjectives used with a feminine noun will have an extra "e" at the end, except for "aigre")

bon appetit/enjoy your meal à bientôt/see you soon

Check out our lessons for couples at home or French with kids, to learn, prepare for your dream trip and simply bring the joy of French into your life. Don't wait one day more!

French at Home: a Conversation (be ready for your next trip, practice now, together, never with a screen.):
