If you need a respite from the hustle and bustle of Paris, follow Lionel and Lea's recommendation and go to the Parc de Bercy in the twelfth arrondissement. There, you can enjoy a little wildlife (including insect hotels!), a "romantic garden," and much more.

Lea and Lionel take a trip to the thirteenth arrondissement of Paris to visit the new National Library of France, also called the François Mitterrand Library. The library is comprised of four book-shaped towers: the Tower of Time, the Tower of Laws, the Tower of Letters, and the Tower of Numbers.

The François Mitterrand Library, part of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (National Library of France), is comprised of four large towers in the shape of open books. Lea notes that most of the library's visitors are specialists in art, science, and architecture rather than students.

Take a class with Lionel as he teaches you colors in French. You'll even learn how to say all the different shades of blue!

Lionel is a true Renaissance man: not only is he a tour guide and a stand-up comedian, but he's also a teacher. In this video, he'll show you how to conjugate the verb avoir (to have) in the present indicative.

Do you know when to say bonsoir and when to say bonne nuit? Do you know when le matin ends and l'après-midi begins? If not, Lionel will tell you all you need to know about greeting people in French according to the time of day. Keep in mind that France uses the 24 hour clock.

Lionel gives a simple, step-by-step lesson on feelings that will enable you to express a range of emotions in French. We hope that you will be happy—heureux (masculine) or heureuse (feminine)—and not too fatigué(e) (tired) by the end of class!

Lionel demonstrates some basic guitar techniques to help you familiarize yourself with the instrument. He also gives an overview of various percussion instruments. You may not get to play like Lionel overnight, but you are sure to learn some interesting music vocabulary.

In lesson two of this series on playing guitar, Lionel will talk to you about several playing techniques to create a rhythm that he will demonstrate on his guitar.

In guitar lesson number three of this series, it's time to learn a song now that you know how to play rhythms. The song is called "Les Mots" [The Words] by La Rue Ketanou. So pick up your guitar (if you have one) and play along while you learn a little French!

Leïa is twelve and lives on Réunion Island. There, she goes to a collège (middle school), where she is in cinquième, equivalent to seventh grade in the US. (In France, the grade number goes down as you progress.)

Leïa will teach you some very useful vocabulary related to kitchen utensils—beyond just forks, knives, and spoons!

Leïa talks about the port, the boats, and the feral cats that lurk about the shore. She also explains a trick for remembering the words for "port" and "starboard" in French.

Leïa lives in the town of Saint-Pierre in Réunion. She will show you around and tell you about all the fun activities that are available.

Leïa explains that she is very fortunate to have a lot of family around her. She is close to her aunties and grandparents and spends a lot of time with them.
