    FYW 129 : Indirect speech (Part 3): changes you must make with time indicators Jul 26, 2017

    In the third episode of this series about the indirect speech (or reported speech), we’ll have a look at changes other than verb forms that happen when the introductory verb is in the past tense.

    To catch up on the previous episodes about the indirect speech:

    Episode 117: “Indirect speech (Part 1): put the right words…in the right order”

    Episode 125: ” Indirect speech (Part 2): The (simple) logic to changing the tenses of the verbs”

    FYW 126 : Questions in French (Part 4) – rising or falling intonation? Jul 05, 2017
    Show notes

    This episode is the fourth and last part of a series about asking questions in French. If you ever travel to France and engage in any interaction with a native French speaker, you’ll definitely need to ask them questions in French! In order to give you the confidence to do so, this episode will focus on the intonation. You may have learnt that the intonation falls in statements and rises in questions but this is actually inaccurate. I’m going to give you the whole rule – that should make sense to you! Don’t hesitate to give me your feedback in the comment section for the episode: frenchyourway.com.au/podcast126

    Show notes

    In this second episode about the indirect speech, I’ll explain what’s called the “concordance des temps” (or “sequence of tenses”). The name may scare you but it’s all actually logical and working the same as in English. So, let’s take a look at some examples and you’ll see what I mean!

    FYW 122 : Why Learn French? Jun 07, 2017
    Show notes

    This episode is to help boost your motivation and give yourself a sense of purpose about learning French! Some time ago, I received an email from Max who is learning French because he dreams of living in Canada some day. Max told me that apart from this very specific reason, he can’t think about any other way to use his knowledge of French. Why learn French? Max asked me to share a few benefits of learning French in the modern world.

    FYW 121 : Tout droit vs à droite: what’s the connection between these two expressions? May 31, 2017
    Show notes

    David from Sydney asked me :”If gauche is left, and droite is right, what is the connection between droite and tout droit for straight ahead ?” These can be confusing indeed because the two expressions look and sound very much alike. What particularly interested me in David’s question is, not surprisingly, whether there was a connection between tout droit et à droite, as in whether they had the same origin (because clearly, they don’t indicate the same direction!!)

    Vocabulary and Spelling of the French Words mentioned in this episode

    A gauche = left / to the left
    A droite = right / to the right
    Tout droit = straight ahead
    Droit (adj) = right (opposite of left); straight; upright/erect (vertical)
    Droit (nm): law (course of study); right (what you have the right to do)
    Droite (nf) = a straight line (geometry), the right side (eg of the road), right-wing (politics); a right (boxing)
