You might have noticed that the French word for breakfast literally means “little lunch.” Instead of the pancakes and waffles of the US and the full breakfast of the British Isles, the French prefer a lighter fare for their morning meal.

Anna and Louis decide what to cook for Anna's mother's birthday. They use a lot of slang words in their conversation, such as despi (speedy, quick) and darons (parents, folks).
