A few weeks ago, I introduced you to a wonderful French TV series that has been trending on Netflix called “L’agence” - or “The Parisian Agency” on English-speaking Netflix. (You can watch that episode here: • How French Netflix’s T... )
Not only does this Netflix series give a real, authentic view into French culture and the lives of real French families, but it’s also perfect for learning modern and colloquial French vocabulary. In today’s episode, we’ll explore a scene from ‘L’agence’ and I’ll point out some useful vocabulary words and phrases. This way, you can improve your comprehension AND learn vocabulary that will help you sound more authentically French in your own conversations.
Did you learn any new words or phrases? Let me know in the comments.
Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
Géraldine

  • Oh my, I'm wondering if I will ever understand spoken colloquial French. I'm already struggling with the standard register...

  • S'il vous plaît parlez en français! Les anglophones entendent l'anglais tout le temps. C'est le français qu'on veut entendre. Nous pouvons activer les sous-titres si nécessaire.

  • I subscribe with pleasure. My question is whether you adjust your speaking knowing how Americans know the rules, but have trouble without them. If I speak to a foreigner here in DC, I can use language they will know, and avoid slang. I remember one trip to France when I asked "Avez- vous une plume pour ecriver." they mocked me, and I later realized, ( I think) they knew full well there was a time "stylo" was not used. In any case, my love affair with your country and language have sustained me throughout our Pandemic, and I look forward to visiting France, again, armed with your lessons on current spoken French.

  • I find it so obnoxious how English speakers act outraged because they can't understand spoken French, and have trouble with the slang and change in word order. As if a language should somehow contain itself in deference for it's English speaking learners and consumers. Language is organic and changing to reflect the needs, wants, tendancies of their communities!
