Joanna just moved into a new apartment, which is slightly bigger than her old one, and she invited us inside to show us around. She uses some essential household-related vocabulary in her tour, so keep your eyes open for any words you don't already know!

Joanna will show you around a lovely little boutique called La Torréfaction du Faubourg (Faubourg Coffee Roasting House). The owner is proud to say that she roasts her own coffee—to perfection, no doubt. You'll have to use your imagination to experience the boutique's lovely aromas!

Joanna is proud to show us her neighborhood. Follow her around her new apartment, her favorite bar, the pretty little garden where children love to play, and learn some useful everyday vocabulary.

After going for a run, it's always good to do some stretching to make sure you don't become sore. In this video, Laurent shows Joanna some basic stretches for relieving muscle pain. Try them after your next run so you don't pull any muscles!

You'll learn some very useful information about running in this video—from what to wear to how to plan a run according to your own physical abilities. It's all about maintaining a "cardiopulmonary balance" and gradually working up to faster speeds and longer distances without over-exerting yourself. Take a break from your French studies and go for a nice jog!
