There are new objects in my life at the moment. Their presence and the changes in habits they imply make my life slightly different, and that ’slightly’ feels good.  There’s the chest of drawers in our bedroom, a large oak chest of drawers. There’s also the handbag I recently bought from Nat&Nin on boulevard Beaumarchais. A choice that Micaela and Lisa, who were with me that day, the day we went to the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, ’validated’, as they say.  In the notes that come with the transcript, you’ll find the sentence to repeat aloud. It’s a sentence I’ve chosen and I’ll explain why.  There will also be a series of practical phrases for talking about what’s new and old in French.  So, to give your French a new lease of life,receive the text by email each time an episode is released, and enjoy all the positive effects of having the exact text of the episode, you could subscribe to the Cultivate Your French transcript at www.cultivateyoufrench.com.
