Welcome to the French Today Blog

A lot of people want to enjoy a trip to France, with the idea of having a nice vacation AND practicing their French. Unfortunately, they often come back saying "as soon as I started to speak, the French would answer to me in English". Here is my advice on how to pick the right place to practice your French.

Le Cinquième Jour – Voyage du Châble à la Cabane du Mont Fort

La nuit est passée lentement.  Ma chambre était trop chaude, mais quand j’ouvrais la fenêtre, je n’arrivais pas à dormir à cause du bruit du bar.

This neighborhood is not about Chanel or the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower. This is where Parisians actually live their lives.

De and à are both used when talking about food. Which one to pick actually follows a rule.

Le Quatrième Jour – Voyage de Champex au Châble

Notre chambre à l’Hôtel Splendide était au premier étage avec un petit balcon qui donnait sur une vallée.  Nous avions laissé la porte du balcon ouverte pendant la nuit.

A hilarious moment from Catherine Tate's BBC comedy sketch show about a French class. Hilarious British humor... and who better to make fun of the French than the English :-)
