Description
On Saturdays, we usually make pizzas and watch a movie, the 5 of us.  Last Saturday, we chose to watch a film by Eric Rohmer a famous French director part of the French New Wave. T his movie is Conte de Printemps. It was timed in 1990, a time where there was no mobile phone, though the phone is often used in this movie.  This episode tells you about the story of the movie and what was Micaela and Lisa’s reaction to this type of movie.  It will also be the occasion to imagine what could have said some of the characters, based on what I tell you in the text using the indirect speech.  Of course, I will also highlight for you 3 expressions that you could use in your own French conversations and show you how to use them.  So to cultivate your French, you could subscribe to the transcript at www.cultivateyourfrench.com.  The subscription cost 4 euros a month.  Ah, before we start, for the next 2 weeks, the podcast will be on pause, but if you are a subscriber you will receive episodes as usual.  www.cultivateyourfrench.com
