Le Journal - Les relations franco-gabonaises

Difficulty: difficulty - Intermediate Intermediate

Two students from Gabon were expelled from a French University and deported back to their home country for having low grades in school.

Arles - Le petit déjeuner

Difficulty: difficulty - Beginner Beginner

France

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. But that doesn’t mean they won’t chow down later in the day….

Yabla à Nancy - Le masculin et le féminin

Difficulty: difficulty - Beginner Beginner

France

English speakers may find this strange, but most European languages (including French) assign a gender to every noun. So how are you supposed to know that the word for “apple” (la pomme) is feminine, but the word for “grape” (le raisin) is masculine? Practice, practice, practice!

Jean-Marc - Études et travail

Difficulty: difficulty - Intermediate Intermediate

France

Just how did Jean-Marc get the money for that beautiful car and those fancy ski trips? The answer involves a roundabout trek to the open outcry auction market of the French stock exchange (“la Bourse”). So could we say that Wall Street too resembles a “playground for grownups”?

Normandie TV - Indochine au Zénith de Caen

Difficulty: difficulty - Adv-Intermediate Adv-Intermediate

France

Nicola Sirkis, head of Indochine, the new wave French rock band that’s been popular since the 1980s, has a few things to say about some of his fellow artists. (Could he mean megastar Johnny Hallyday?) Nicola’s strong voice (in many senses) is clearly one of the reasons Indochine has so much staying power.

Le Journal - La vie dans les tranchées

Difficulty: difficulty - Beginner Beginner

France

What was life like for the poilus, the French soldiers of World War I? In sum, much, much harder than our lives. Subjected to bullets, bombs, death, and all the atrocities of war, these soldiers fought bitterly to protect their homeland, and one another.
