Le manteau bleu (Les ep du 90) Shopping for the Perfect Blue

Dans ce troisième épisode de la série de l’été, direction 2013 pour une séance chez l’orthoptiste, une vitrine qui retient mon regard, et un manteau bleu que je porte encore aujourd’hui. A weekly eye exercise, a detour through a shop window, and a coat that turns out to be exactly the colour I’d been looking for. This episode is a small slice of everyday French life in 2013 – the kind of ordinary moment that, in French, comes with its own little vocabulary: window shopping, trying something on, giving in to curiosity. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, three natural expressions to practice out loud, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve listened all the way through. A different way to make progress in French.
