Are you going to buy anything else?</p><p>B: I'm thinking of getting a Pain au Chocolat, what about you?</p><p>M: An Almond Croissant would be perfect. I wonder if they also have Pains aux raisins.</p><p>B: Good idea! We could also get a sourdough bread for tomorrow morning.</p><p>M: Yes, it's delicious with jam. You know, I read somewhere that a lot of people fall for it and buy industrial bread.</p><p>B: It's true, but here, finding good artisanal bread is a piece of cake.</p><p>M: Absolutely. By the way, do you prefer sliced or whole bread?</p><p>B: I like sliced bread, it's more practical. And you?</p><p>M: The same. Ah, here we are. Hello, I would like an Almond Croissant and a Pain aux raisins, please.</p><p>B: And for me, a Pain au Chocolat and a sourdough bread. Do you prefer sliced bread?</p><p>Vendor: Yes, of course. Anything else?</p><p>B: That's all, thank you.</p><p>M: It smells so good in here, I can't wait to taste all this.</p><p>B: Me neither, let's go home quickly to enjoy our finds.</p><h3>&#10026; <strong>Notes</strong></h3><p><em><strong>une envie folle</strong></em> = a crazy desire. Imagine you're standing outside a patisserie, drooling over the pastries. You'd say, "J'ai une envie folle de tous les acheter!" (<em>I have a crazy desire to buy them all!</em>). The kind of phrase you'd use when your desires are dancing the can-can!</p><p><em><strong>tomber dans le panneau </strong></em>&#10024;&#129513; = <em>to fall for it.</em> Examples are best.</p><p>&#8220;C'est &#233;poustouflant comme les masses tombent dans le panneau&#8221; (It's amazing how the masses fall for it) "J'ai achet&#233; cette montre en solde, mais je suis tomb&#233; dans le panneau, elle ne fonctionne m&#234;me pas!" (<em>I bought this watch on sale, but I fell for it; it doesn&#8217;t even work!</em>). Classic tourist trap scenario! <em><strong>mordre &#224; l'hame&#231;on </strong></em>= to take the bait</p><p><em><strong>c&#8217;est du g&#226;teau </strong></em>&#10024;= c'est facile = <em>it&#8217;s a piece of cake</em>. You're asked to babysit a cat, and it's so easy it practically takes care of itself. You'd brag, "Garder ce chat, c&#8217;est du g&#226;teau!" . Bakery themed lesson to pull this one out! (obviously).&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>tranch&#233;</strong></em> = morceau coup&#233; dans la largeur = <em>sliced. M</em>ostly bread and ham get this treatment.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Et avec ceci ?</strong></em> = Vous d&#233;sirez autre chose ? = <em>Anything else with this? / Is that all?</em><br>This is the classic line you hear at every French bakery. After ordering, they'll ask, "Et avec ceci?&#8221;. It's the polite way of saying, "Are you sure that's all you want from this temple of deliciousness?"</p><p>*&#10024; = especially &#8216;Frenchie&#8217; words/phrases you should try and use more<br>*&#129513; = &#8216;canned&#8217; expressions or phrases that are best learned as a whole, like puzzle-pieces.</p><h3><strong>The French with Am&#233;lie Bread-dex </strong>&#129360;</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif" width="348" height="194.26506024096386" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:278,&quot;width&quot;:498,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:348,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Food Hot Dog GIF&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Food Hot Dog GIF" title="Food Hot Dog GIF" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2QVD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7f426d5d-cc1c-4f54-86ac-1b56da7fe496_498x278.gif 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><em><strong>le pain artisanal</strong></em> - <em>artisan bread</em><br>The good stuff.

du Jour</h3><p>Malo: Je n'en reviens pas que notre entreprise soit pass&#233;e au t&#233;l&#233;travail complet. Franchement, je trouve &#231;a compl&#232;tement d&#233;mesur&#233; &#10026; comme d&#233;cision. On perd tout l'aspect social du bureau.</p><p>C&#233;lia: Tu exag&#232;res un peu, non ? Pour moi, c'est du g&#226;teau &#10026;! Je gagne deux heures par jour sans les transports, je peux bosser &#10026; en pyjama, et je suis beaucoup plus productive sans les interruptions constantes des coll&#232;gues.</p><p>Malo: Ah bon ? Moi je gal&#232;re &#224; me concentrer chez moi. Entre les travaux chez les voisins et mon chat qui n'arr&#234;te pas de r&#233;clamer de l'attention... Du coup, je me suis gourr&#233; &#10026; plusieurs fois dans mes rapports la semaine derni&#232;re.</p><p>C&#233;lia: Faut savoir s'adapter ! T'as pens&#233; &#224; am&#233;nager un vrai espace de travail ? Moi j'ai transform&#233; ma chambre d'amis en bureau, &#231;a change tout. En plus, je fais des &#233;conomies consid&#233;rables sur les repas et le carburant.</p><p>Malo: Arr&#234;te de chercher midi &#224; quatorze heures &#10026;, le bureau c'est le bureau. Si &#231;a continue comme &#231;a, on va tous devenir des ermites asociaux. Les visioconf&#233;rences ne remplaceront jamais les vraies interactions humaines.</p><p>C&#233;lia: Tu sais, je pense qu'on pourrait trouver un compromis. On pourrait avoir deux jours au bureau pour les r&#233;unions importantes et les projets d'&#233;quipe, et le reste en t&#233;l&#233;travail. &#199;a serait l'id&#233;al, non ?</p><p>Malo: Dans un monde parfait, peut-&#234;tre. Mais si on avait le choix, je pr&#233;f&#233;rerais qu'on revienne tous au bureau. Les pauses caf&#233; me manquent terriblement, et je trouve qu'on serait plus cr&#233;atifs en travaillant ensemble physiquement.</p><p>C&#233;lia: Je comprends ton point de vue, mais le monde du travail &#233;volue. Si on ne s'adapte pas maintenant, on risque de se retrouver compl&#232;tement d&#233;pass&#233;s &#10026; dans quelques ann&#233;es. Et puis, avoue que travailler en pantoufles, c'est quand m&#234;me pas mal !</p><p>&#9825; &#120131;&#120154;&#120156;&#120150; &#120147;&#120150;&#120157;&#120160;&#120168; &#128071;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" width="1456" height="98" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:98,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:28148,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>&#10026; <strong>Notes</strong></h3><p><strong>d&#233;mesur&#233;</strong> = <em>excessif</em> = excessive/over the top.

du Jour</h3><p>Maxime: Tu sais quelle heure ferme le Louvre aujourd'hui ?</p><p>Eva: Il ferme &#224; 18h je crois. On a encore trois heures.</p><p>Maxime: Trois heures, &#231;a devrait suffire &#10026;. Penses-tu qu'on doive revenir demain pour tout voir ?</p><p>Eva: Peut-&#234;tre, mais ce n'est pas la mer &#224; boire &#10026;. On peut acheter un autre billet si n&#233;cessaire.</p><p>Maxime: D'accord, commen&#231;ons par l'aile impressionniste. J'ai entendu dire que c'est magnifique.</p><p>Eva: Oui, et apr&#232;s, on ira voir la section d'art moderne. J'adore comment c'est lumineux et a&#233;r&#233;, m&#234;me si c'est en sous-sol.</p><p>Maxime: Vraiment ? Moi, &#231;a me stresse un peu avec toute cette foule. Il y a tellement de monde !</p><p>Eva: Ah, Maxime, tu es toujours un peu grincheux &#10026; dans les endroits bond&#233;s. Enfin bref &#10026;, regarde ces tableaux ! Chaque &#339;uvre semble raconter une histoire.</p><p>Maxime: C'est vrai. C'est incroyable de voir tant d'histoire et de beaut&#233; en un seul endroit. &#199;a vaut vraiment le coup &#10026;.</p><p>Eva: Absolument, et regarde cette lumi&#232;re dans les peintures impressionnistes. C'est si doux et vibrant.</p><p>Maxime: Oui, ok, malgr&#233; la foule, je commence &#224; appr&#233;cier l'atmosph&#232;re. C'est une exp&#233;rience unique.</p><p>Eva: Exactement ! Et apr&#232;s avoir vu l'art moderne, on pourra se reposer au caf&#233; du mus&#233;e.</p><p>Maxime: Parfait ! Un peu de repos apr&#232;s toute cette marche sera bienvenu.</p><p>&#9825; &#120131;&#120154;&#120156;&#120150; &#120147;&#120150;&#120157;&#120160;&#120168; &#128071;</p><div

On s'en sert quand on pense qu'on a assez de quelque chose pour r&#233;ussir. Par exemple, en cuisine: "Deux &#339;ufs, &#231;a devrait suffire pour la recette." A helpful phrase for lots of situations in life!</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://www.lawlessfrench.com/expressions/ce-nest-pas-la-mer-a-boire/">ce n'est pas la mer &#224; boire</a></strong></em> &#10024;&#129513;= <em>ce n'est pas compliqu&#233;, ce n'est pas difficile</em> = It's not that hard.<br>Cette expression est parfaite pour minimiser un d&#233;fi. Comme quand on apprend le fran&#231;ais: "Apprendre l'imparfait? Ce n'est pas la mer &#224; boire!"</p><p><em><strong>un peu grincheux</strong></em> = <em>un peu bougon, l&#233;g&#232;rement irrit&#233;</em> = a bit grumpy/cranky. Pour d&#233;crire quelqu'un qui n'est pas dans son meilleur jour.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Enfin bref</strong></em> &#10024; = <em>de toute fa&#231;on, passons &#224; autre chose</em> = Anyway, moving on<br>On l'utilise pour changer de sujet ou conclure une digression. Lors d'une histoire interminable: "Enfin bref, c'est ainsi que j'ai perdu mes cl&#233;s." We&#8217;ve met it before in the Job Interview dialogue.</p><p><em><strong>&#199;a vaut le coup </strong></em>&#10024;&#129513;= <em>&#231;a en vaut la peine, &#231;a m&#233;rite l'effort</em> = It's worth it<br>Id&#233;al pour motiver quelqu'un (ou soi-m&#234;me) &#224; faire un effort pour un r&#233;sultat d&#233;sirable. Face &#224; une grande montagne &#224; escalader: "Regarde la vue, &#231;a vaut le coup!&#8221;. Used regularly to ask if something is worth it: &#8220;Est-ce que ce film vaut le coup ?&#8221;</p><p>*&#10024; = especially &#8216;Frenchie&#8217; words/phrases you should try and use more<br>*&#129513; = &#8216;canned&#8217; expressions or phrases that are best learned as a whole, like puzzle-pieces.</p><h3>Translation</h3><p>L: Do you know what time the Louvre closes today?</p><p>J: It closes at 6 PM, I think. We still have three hours.</p><p>L: Three hours, that should be enough. Do you think we should come back tomorrow to see everything?</p><p>J: Maybe, but it's not that hard. We can buy another ticket if necessary.</p><p>L: Alright, let's start with the Impressionist wing. I've heard it's beautiful.</p><p>J: Yes, and after that, we'll go see the modern art section. I love how bright and airy it is, even though it's in the basement.</p><p>L: Really? For me, it's a bit stressful with all these people. It's so crowded!</p><p>J: Ah, Maxime, you're always a bit grumpy in crowded places. Anyway, look at these paintings! Each piece seems to tell a story.</p><p>L: It's true. It's incredible to see so much history and beauty in one place. It's really worth it.</p><p>J: Absolutely, and look at the light in the Impressionist paintings.

du Jour</h3><p>Alexandre: Tu ne devineras jamais! Je vais partir sur un nouveau projet &#10026; - j'ai d&#233;cid&#233; de quitter mon poste chez Renault pour lancer ma propre entreprise de consultation.</p><p>&#201;va: S&#233;rieux? Tu ne trouves pas &#231;a risqu&#233; en ce moment? L'&#233;conomie n'est pas vraiment stable.</p><p>Alexandre: C'est vrai que je gal&#232;re un peu avec la d&#233;cision, mais <strong><a href="https://www.frenchwithamelie.com/i/146303578/notes">j'en ai marre</a></strong><a href="https://www.frenchwithamelie.com/i/146303578/notes">&#10169;</a> de travailler pour quelqu'un d'autre. Du coup, j'ai fait mes calculs et je pense que le jeu en vaut la chandelle &#10026;.</p><p>&#201;va: Je comprends ton envie de changement, mais t'as un tr&#232;s bon salaire l&#224;-bas. Tu es s&#251;r de vouloir tout abandonner?</p><p>Alexandre: Franchement, l'argent c'est une chose, mais la libert&#233; de cr&#233;er quelque chose &#224; moi, &#231;a vaut son pesant d'or &#10026;. Et puis, j'ai d&#233;j&#224; quelques clients potentiels qui s'int&#233;ressent &#224; mon projet.</p><p>&#201;va: Ah bon? Dans ce cas, &#231;a change la donne &#10026;. Tu aurais d&#251; commencer par l&#224;! T'as d&#233;j&#224; &#233;tabli un business plan?</p><p>Alexandre: Oui, j'y travaille depuis six mois en secret. Si tout se passe bien, je pourrais m&#234;me embaucher quelqu'un d'ici la fin de l'ann&#233;e.</p><p>&#201;va: Dans ce cas-l&#224;, je dirais que t'as bien r&#233;fl&#233;chi. Mais tu ne crains pas la solitude? Ce serait dommage de perdre l'ambiance d'&#233;quipe.</p><p>Alexandre: J'y ai pens&#233; aussi. Du coup, je compte louer un espace dans un bureau partag&#233;. En plus, &#231;a me permettrait de networker avec d'autres entrepreneurs.</p><p>&#201;va: C'est malin &#231;a! Si j'&#233;tais &#224; ta place, je ferais pareil. Tu sais quoi? Je pourrais m&#234;me t'aider avec la comm' &#10026; si tu veux.</p><p>Alexandre: Ce serait g&#233;nial! Avec ton expertise en marketing, &#231;a m'aiderait &#233;norm&#233;ment.

Just remember that you command the waiters like a little dictator and you&#8217;ll remember this verb. &#8220;D&#8217;accord. Commande-le toi-m&#234;me et moi, je le paierai&#8221; (All right. Order it yourself and I'll pay for it)</p><p><em><strong>emporter</strong></em> = to take away This is the phrase to use when you prefer your caf&#233; au lait on the go! "Un sandwich &#224; emporter, s'il vous pla&#238;t," and voil&#224;, you're a Parisian in a hurry.</p><p><em><strong>ce truc l&#224;</strong></em> &#10024; = cette chose-l&#224; = that thing there. Ever forget the word for something in French? Just point and say "ce truc l&#224;"! Pure colloquial French in seconds.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>j'ai tout faire foirer </strong></em>&#10024;&#129513; = j'ai tout g&#226;ch&#233; = I&#8217;ve screwed/messed everything up<br>Oh l&#224; l&#224;, dropped your quiche on the floor? forgot your boarding pass at the airport? forgot to book a hotel? "J'ai tout faire foirer" is your go-to phrase. It's saying "I bungled it," with a side of French flair.</p><p><em><strong>il n'y a pas de mal </strong></em>&#10024; = ce n'est pas grave = no harm done. Spill your caf&#233;? "Il n'y a pas de mal" is the kind-hearted waiter's "Don't worry about it." also &#8220;Il n'y a pas de mal &#224; t&#226;ter le terrain&#8221; (There's no harm in testing the waters)</p><p><em><strong>le pourboire</strong></em> = the tip. Wondering if tipping is a thing in France? Just ask about "le pourboire." The service is often included, but a little extra is always appreciated for exceptional service.</p><p>*&#10024; = especially &#8216;Frenchie&#8217; words/phrases you should try and use more<br>*&#129513; = &#8216;canned&#8217; expressions or phrases that are best learned as a whole, like puzzle-pieces.</p>

Mais je crois que la palme revient &#224; &#10026; ce mec dans un bar qui m&#8217;a sorti: &#8220;T&#8217;es tellement belle que je voudrais &#234;tre une larme pour na&#238;tre dans tes yeux, couler sur ta joue et mourir sur tes l&#232;vres.&#8221; J&#8217;ai failli m&#8217;&#233;touffer avec mon cocktail tellement c&#8217;&#233;tait ringard &#10026;!</p><p>Nathan: Non mais quel boulet &#10026;!

C&#8217;&#233;tait peut-&#234;tre un peu dur, mais bon, faut pas d&#233;conner non plus.</p><p>Nathan: Ah ouais, t&#8217;y es pas all&#233;e de main morte &#10026;! Mais c&#8217;est vrai que c&#8217;est con ce genre d&#8217;approche.

C&#8217;est d&#8217;un go&#251;t... Et t&#8217;as r&#233;pondu quoi?</p><p>Nathan: Ben, j&#8217;ai jou&#233; le jeu. Je lui ai dit que malheureusement, j&#8217;&#233;tais complet pour la nuit, mais que je pouvais lui recommander un parking souterrain pas loin. Elle a pas trop appr&#233;ci&#233;...</p><p>Zo&#233;: J&#8217;imagine! Franchement, je ne comprendrai jamais pourquoi les gens pensent que ce genre de trucs peut marcher.

du Jour</h3><p>Robin : Chlo&#233;, viens vite ! Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe, mais la douche ne fonctionne plus du tout &#10026;. L'eau ne coule m&#234;me pas une goutte. Je devais &#234;tre au bureau dans une demi-heure, et maintenant je suis coinc&#233;<a href="https://www.frenchwithamelie.com/i/136153757/notes">&#10169;</a> ici, tout transpirant apr&#232;s mon jogging.</p><p>Chlo&#233; : Calme-toi, ce n'est peut-&#234;tre pas si grave. T'as v&#233;rifi&#233; le robinet principal ? Il y a des travaux dans le quartier, ils auraient pu couper l'eau sans nous pr&#233;venir.</p><p>Robin : Non, ce n'est pas &#231;a. Le robinet de la cuisine fonctionne parfaitement. J'ai m&#234;me remarqu&#233; que le pommeau de douche &#10026; fait un bruit bizarre, comme un sifflement, quand j'essaie de l'utiliser.</p><p>Chlo&#233; : Ah, dans ce cas, &#231;a pourrait &#234;tre du calcaire &#10026; qui bloque les petits trous. &#199;a arrive souvent dans les vieilles installations. Si tu voulais, tu pourrais le faire tremper dans du vinaigre blanc pendant la nuit.</p><p>Robin : Tu crois ? Je ne savais m&#234;me pas que c'&#233;tait possible. Mais l&#224;, &#231;a ne m'aide pas pour ce matin. Je vais devoir me d&#233;brouiller &#10026; avec le lavabo comme un &#233;tudiant en colocation.</p><p>Chlo&#233; : Ne sois pas si dramatique ! J'ai une id&#233;e. Tu peux utiliser ma salle de bain &#224; l'&#233;tage. Par contre, fais attention, le thermostat est super sensible &#10026;. La derni&#232;re fois, j'ai failli me br&#251;ler en touchant simplement le robinet.</p><p>Robin : Tu me sauves la vie ! Mais attends... est-ce que c'est pour &#231;a que tu prenais toujours des douches glac&#233;es le mois dernier ? Tu aurais d&#251; me le dire plus t&#244;t, j'aurais pu t'aider &#224; le r&#233;parer.</p><p>Chlo&#233; : Exactement ! Mais maintenant je suis devenue une experte en r&#233;glages de temp&#233;rature &#10026;. Je pourrais m&#234;me &#233;crire un guide : "Comment survivre &#224; une douche capricieuse en dix le&#231;ons".</p><p>&#9825; &#120131;&#120154;&#120156;&#120150; &#120147;&#120150;&#120157;&#120160;&#120168; &#128071;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" width="1456" height="98" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:98,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:28148,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>&#10026; <strong>Notes</strong></h3><p><strong>plus du tout </strong>= </p>

A childlike but (ironically) fun way to say &#8220;I&#8217;m first&#8221;. Like the English &#8216;shotgun&#8221; or &#8220;I call dibs&#8221;.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Enfin, bref </strong></em>&#10024;&#10024;&#129513;<em><strong> </strong></em>= Long story short / Anyhoo / Well, anyway&#8230; I trust you get the picture here! The French are stacking up concluding words here &#8220;Enfin&#8221; + &#8220;Bref&#8221; = the &#8220;Enfin, bref&#8221; supercharged French summary phrase! This is almost too much colloquial power for any student to handle.. use it wisely. &#128591;&#127995;</p><p><em><strong>C'est comme &#231;a</strong></em>&#10024; = <em>C'est la vie</em> = <em>That's how it is</em>. Another French colloquial titan, you can (and the French do!) say <em>&#8220;C'est comme &#231;a&#8221; </em>about anything and everything. Throw it at the end of nearly any sentence to sound more French.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Enfin, bref, c'est comme &#231;a </strong></em>&#10024;&#10024;&#10024;<em><strong> </strong></em>= You might have guessed it but when you stack this much Frenchness together you get a colloquial supernova. One use of this and a French person will be inviting you round to their balcony for an apero and a cigarette.&nbsp;</p><p><em><strong>Rien que d'en parler</strong></em> = Just talking about it. <em>rien que d'y penser </em>= just thinking about it</p><p>Rien que d'en parler, j'ai l'eau &#224; la bouche (Just talking about it makes my mouth water). J'ai d&#233;j&#224; mal au dos, rien que d'y penser. (J'ai d&#233;j&#224; mal au dos, rien que d'y penser.)</p><p><em><strong>Un point pour toi</strong></em> = <em>Bravo &#224; toi</em> = <em>A point for you. </em>A great conversation get-out-of-jail free card. If someone disagrees with you or points out you&#8217;re wrong, pull out this one and they&#8217;ll be suitably impressed and your humility AND your fluency</p><p>Tu as devin&#233; la fin du film ? Un point pour toi, Sherlock ! (You guessed the end of the movie? A point for you, Sherlock!)</p><p>*&#10024; = especially &#8216;Frenchie&#8217; words/phrases you should try and use more<br>*&#129513; = &#8216;canned&#8217; expressions or phrases that are best learned as a whole, like puzzle-pieces.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif" width="224" height="186.2" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:532,&quot;width&quot;:640,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:224,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Funny Interview GIF - Funny Interview GIFs&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Funny Interview GIF - Funny Interview GIFs" title="Funny Interview GIF - Funny Interview GIFs" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_aIg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_lossy/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52118373-3eb3-450e-9230-17fe16ab140b_640x532.gif 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><strong>Key Phrases </strong>&#128477;&#65039;</h3><p><em><strong>Parlez-moi de vous.</strong></em> - <em>Tell me about yourself.<br></em>C'est une question typique au d&#233;but des entretiens d'embauche.

C&#8217;est du lourd &#10026;. Les prix montent en fl&#232;che &#10026; et je commence vraiment &#224; m&#8217;inqui&#233;ter pour l&#8217;avenir.</p><p>Julie: Je comprends ton anxi&#233;t&#233;. Du coup, moi aussi je suis dans le rouge &#10026;! Mon salaire ne suit pas du tout l&#8217;augmentation du co&#251;t de la vie. J&#8217;ai d&#251; arr&#234;ter mes sorties au resto.</p><p>Lucas: C&#8217;est la d&#232;che &#10026;! Mais tu ne penses pas que c&#8217;est peut-&#234;tre le moment de repenser notre syst&#232;me &#233;conomique? Le capitalisme dans sa forme actuelle ne semble plus tenir la route &#10026;.</p><p>Julie: Ah bon? Je ne suis pas d&#8217;accord. Le probl&#232;me n&#8217;est pas le capitalisme en soi, mais plut&#244;t sa r&#233;gulation. Si on encadrait mieux les march&#233;s financiers, on pourrait &#233;viter ces crises cycliques.</p><p>Lucas: Du coup, tu crois vraiment qu&#8217;une simple r&#233;gulation suffirait? Regarde les in&#233;galit&#233;s qui ne cessent de se creuser. Si &#231;a continue comme &#231;a, on finirait par avoir une soci&#233;t&#233; &#224; deux vitesses.</p><p>Julie: Je vois ce que tu veux dire, mais un changement radical serait encore plus dangereux. Les alternatives qu&#8217;on a vues dans l&#8217;histoire n&#8217;ont pas vraiment brill&#233; par leur succ&#232;s.</p><p>Lucas: Peut-&#234;tre qu&#8217;il faudrait un syst&#232;me hybride? On pourrait garder les aspects positifs du march&#233; libre tout en renfor&#231;ant le r&#244;le social de l&#8217;&#201;tat.</p><p>Julie: &#199;a pourrait marcher, mais qui paierait pour &#231;a? Les imp&#244;ts sont d&#233;j&#224; tellement &#233;lev&#233;s. Je ne voudrais pas qu&#8217;on se retrouve encore plus &#233;trangl&#233;s financi&#232;rement.</p><p>Lucas: Il y aurait des solutions, comme taxer davantage les transactions financi&#232;res ou les grandes fortunes. Le probl&#232;me, c&#8217;est la volont&#233; politique qui manque.</p><p>Julie: En attendant, on fait comment pour joindre les deux bouts &#10026;? J&#8217;ai l&#8217;impression qu&#8217;on va devoir se serrer la ceinture encore un moment.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

du Jour</h3><p>Nathan: Alors Zo&#233;, c'est quoi la pire phrase de <a href="https://www.frenchwithamelie.com/i/139332577/key-vocab">drague&#10169;</a> que t'aies jamais entendue?</p><p>Zo&#233;: Oh l&#224; l&#224;, j'en ai tellement! Mais je crois que la palme revient &#224; &#10026; ce mec dans un bar qui m'a sorti: "T'es tellement belle que je voudrais &#234;tre une larme pour na&#238;tre dans tes yeux, couler sur ta joue et mourir sur tes l&#232;vres." J'ai failli m'&#233;touffer avec mon cocktail tellement c'&#233;tait ringard &#10026;!</p><p>Nathan: Non mais quel boulet &#10026;! Il s'est pris un r&#226;teau &#10026;, j'esp&#232;re?</p><p>Zo&#233;: Et comment! Je lui ai dit que s'il voulait vraiment mourir sur mes l&#232;vres, il ferait mieux d'aller l&#233;cher une barre de m&#233;tro. C'&#233;tait peut-&#234;tre un peu dur, mais bon, faut pas d&#233;conner non plus.</p><p>Nathan: Ah ouais, t'y es pas all&#233;e de main morte &#10026;! Mais c'est vrai que c'est con ce genre d'approche. Moi, j'ai eu droit &#224; une nana qui m'a demand&#233; si j'&#233;tais un parking, parce qu'elle voulait se garer sur moi toute la nuit.</p><p>Zo&#233;: Non mais je r&#234;ve! C'est d'un go&#251;t... Et t'as r&#233;pondu quoi?</p><p>Nathan: Ben, j'ai jou&#233; le jeu. Je lui ai dit que malheureusement, j'&#233;tais complet pour la nuit, mais que je pouvais lui recommander un parking souterrain pas loin. Elle a pas trop appr&#233;ci&#233;...</p><p>Zo&#233;: J'imagine! Franchement, je ne comprendrai jamais pourquoi les gens pensent que ce genre de trucs peut marcher. C'est comme si leur cerveau se mettait en mode "cr&#233;tin" d&#232;s qu'ils essaient de draguer.</p><p>Nathan: Totalement d'accord. Si seulement ils pouvaient comprendre qu'un simple "Salut, &#231;a te dirait qu'on discute autour d'un verre?" fait largement l'affaire.</p><p>&#9825; &#120131;&#120154;&#120156;&#120150; &#120147;&#120150;&#120157;&#120160;&#120168; &#128071;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" width="1456" height="98" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:98,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:28148,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>&#10026; <strong>Notes</strong></h3><p><strong>la palme revient &#224;</strong> = <em>le prix est d&#233;cern&#233; &#224;</em> = the prize goes to.

du Jour</h3><p>Lucas: T'as vu les derniers chiffres de l'inflation ? C'est du lourd &#10026;. Les prix montent en fl&#232;che &#10026; et je commence vraiment &#224; m'inqui&#233;ter pour l'avenir.</p><p>Julie: Je comprends ton anxi&#233;t&#233;. Du coup, moi aussi je suis dans le rouge &#10026;! Mon salaire ne suit pas du tout l'augmentation du co&#251;t de la vie. J'ai d&#251; arr&#234;ter mes sorties au resto.</p><p>Lucas: C'est la d&#232;che &#10026;! Mais tu ne penses pas que c'est peut-&#234;tre le moment de repenser notre syst&#232;me &#233;conomique? Le capitalisme dans sa forme actuelle ne semble plus tenir la route &#10026;.</p><p>Julie: Ah bon? Je ne suis pas d'accord. Le probl&#232;me n'est pas le capitalisme en soi, mais plut&#244;t sa r&#233;gulation. Si on encadrait mieux les march&#233;s financiers, on pourrait &#233;viter ces crises cycliques.</p><p>Lucas: Du coup, tu crois vraiment qu'une simple r&#233;gulation suffirait? Regarde les in&#233;galit&#233;s qui ne cessent de se creuser. Si &#231;a continue comme &#231;a, on finirait par avoir une soci&#233;t&#233; &#224; deux vitesses.</p><p>Julie: Je vois ce que tu veux dire, mais un changement radical serait encore plus dangereux. Les alternatives qu'on a vues dans l'histoire n'ont pas vraiment brill&#233; par leur succ&#232;s.</p><p>Lucas: Peut-&#234;tre qu'il faudrait un syst&#232;me hybride? On pourrait garder les aspects positifs du march&#233; libre tout en renfor&#231;ant le r&#244;le social de l'&#201;tat.</p><p>Julie: &#199;a pourrait marcher, mais qui paierait pour &#231;a? Les imp&#244;ts sont d&#233;j&#224; tellement &#233;lev&#233;s. Je ne voudrais pas qu'on se retrouve encore plus &#233;trangl&#233;s financi&#232;rement.</p><p>Lucas: Il y aurait des solutions, comme taxer davantage les transactions financi&#232;res ou les grandes fortunes. Le probl&#232;me, c'est la volont&#233; politique qui manque.</p><p>Julie: En attendant, on fait comment pour joindre les deux bouts &#10026;? J'ai l'impression qu'on va devoir se serrer la ceinture encore un moment.</p><p>&#9825; &#120131;&#120154;&#120156;&#120150; &#120147;&#120150;&#120157;&#120160;&#120168; &#128071;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png" width="1456" height="98" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:98,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:28148,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tKKz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F52abbea6-5c6b-4699-846e-bf01e514654a_1456x98.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>&#10026; <strong>Notes</strong></h3><p><strong>c'est du lourd</strong> &#10024;= </p>

It's perfect for toning down a statement. Like when someone asks if you're tired and you're halfway there but don't want to sound too whiny. &#8221;Tu es en col&#232;re contre lui?" &#8211; "Pas tant, juste un peu d&#233;&#231;u(e)." (Are you angry at him? &#8211; Not really, just a bit disappointed.)</p><p><em><strong>l&#226;ch&#233; prise </strong></em>&#10024; = <em>se d&#233;tendre, se relaxer</em> = let go, relax. Something we probably all need to do. Like telling the universe, "You know what? You handle it!" A great phrase to use when you're on vacation and decide to forget about work emails. "J'ai compl&#232;tement l&#226;ch&#233; prise ce week-end, pas de m&#233;nage, pas de travail!" (I totally let go this weekend, no cleaning, no work!)</p><p><em><strong>&#231;a te dit d&#8217;aller&#8230; </strong></em>&#10024;&#129513; = the way do ask <em>&#8220;</em>do you want to go, would you like to go&#8230;&#8221;. A casual and friendly way to suggest plans. Great for dates or when you're trying to sound nonchalant about that concert you're dying to go to. "&#199;a te dit d'aller voir un film ce soir ?" (Do you feel like going to see a movie tonight?)</p><p><em><strong>boire un coup </strong></em>&#10024; = <em>prendre un verre </em>= have a drink. Another go-to phrase, this time for casual socializing in France. It's perfect for when you want to hang out but don't want to make it sound like a big deal. The French equivalent of "grabbing a coffee". Example: "On se retrouve apr&#232;s le boulot pour boire un coup?" (Shall we meet after work for a drink?)</p><p>*&#10024; = especially &#8216;Frenchie&#8217; words/phrases you should try and use more<br>*&#129513; = &#8216;canned&#8217; expressions or phrases that are best learned as a whole, like puzzle-pieces.</p><h3><strong>Les Petits Noms D&#8217;Amour </strong>&#128105;&#8205;&#10084;&#65039;&#8205;&#128139;&#8205;&#128104;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></h3>

Du coup, sans eux, l&#8217;Europe serait comme un trou perdu &#10026; &#233;conomiquement. Leur industrie automobile et leur stabilit&#233; financi&#232;re tirent toute l&#8217;Europe vers le haut &#10026;.</p><p>Mat&#233;o: Je ne suis pas tout &#224; fait d&#8217;accord. L&#8217;Allemagne est devenue la t&#234;te de turc &#10026; de tous les pays du Sud. Ils imposent leur vision de l&#8217;aust&#233;rit&#233; sans tenir compte des r&#233;alit&#233;s sociales des autres pays.</p><p>Lisa: Tu exag&#232;res un peu l&#224;. Regarde les investissements allemands dans les pays moins d&#233;velopp&#233;s de l&#8217;UE. Du coup, ils cr&#233;ent des emplois et stimulent la croissance locale.</p><p>Mat&#233;o: Peut-&#234;tre, mais &#224; quel prix? Si j&#8217;&#233;tais aux commandes, je privil&#233;gierais une approche plus &#233;quilibr&#233;e. Les allemands devraient investir davantage dans l&#8217;innovation verte au lieu de s&#8217;accrocher &#10026; &#224; leur industrie traditionnelle.</p><p>Lisa: C&#8217;est vrai qu&#8217;ils pourraient faire plus pour l&#8217;environnement, mais leur mod&#232;le &#233;conomique a quand m&#234;me fait ses preuves &#10026;. Du coup, ils maintiennent une stabilit&#233; qui profite &#224; toute l&#8217;Europe.</p><p>Mat&#233;o: Tu parles de stabilit&#233;, mais qu&#8217;en est-il de la fracture sociale grandissante? Les in&#233;galit&#233;s augmentent partout en Europe, m&#234;me en Allemagne.</p><p>Lisa: Je comprends ton point de vue, mais sans la rigueur allemande, on risquerait une nouvelle crise de la dette. Du coup, il faut trouver un &#233;quilibre entre prosp&#233;rit&#233; &#233;conomique et justice sociale.</p><p>Mat&#233;o: On pourrait au moins esp&#233;rer qu&#8217;ils assouplissent leur position sur les d&#233;penses publiques. La relance &#233;conomique ne peut pas se faire uniquement par l&#8217;aust&#233;rit&#233;.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"
