Today, I'm excited to discuss the beloved French dish, aligot. This cheesy, creamy comfort food is perfect for cold winter nights.
Our grammar focus today is on logical conjunctions, or "les connecteurs logiques" in French, which help us connect and organize ideas in a sentence. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced learner, we'll explore some essential conjunctions.
The level is A2 so beginner +
So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of aligot and French grammar!

Raise your hand if you think we're going to talk about breakfast.
Sorry guys, this isn't the kind of eggs we're going to talk about today I'm afraid.
We're gonna have a conversation about MY EGGS. Something I had never imagined I would say on the internet for the whole world to hear, but here we are.
The vocabulary in this episode is obviously very medically-oriented with a lot of specific words related to this field. It will be very useful if you want to share your last experience at the hospital in French.

Today, we're going to continue talking about my life and the activities that I have finally resumed.
I feel overjoyed and it's not even an exaggeration frankly.
Being able to clear my mind during the week and taking a break from the daily life…it's really refreshing.
This episode is a bit more difficult than usual so it's aimed at intermediate levels, B1 and B2.
We will study words and phrases that are related to the world of dancing. As for the grammar focus, we will review phrases about feelings and how to use the verb "to miss" as in "i miss dancing" for example.

Last week, my partner watched a rugby match on tv and he got really impressed by the incredible amount of "voilà" one can fit in a few sentences. He, then, asked me if it was common for French people to use this word so much. I mean, the rugby player felt the need to put at least one "voilà" per sentence. That is some dedication!
Of course, as you can imagine, I answered him that no, we're not supposed to use "voilà" as a punctuation mark.
Today you're going to learn how to use "voilà" properly.
Last year, thanks to the Eurovision, this little word got famous again all over the world. It was the title of the song France won her second place with so it was time for "voilà" to have its own episode.
