232 — Le jeu des péniches — mercredi 9 octobre 2024
Description
When Micaela was a baby, one of my favourite walks was to the Pont de Levallois. If I saw a barge, I thought I'd won the barge game. If I didn't see one, I'd lost. Sometimes I'd see two or even three barges. It was a real party.
Since then, playing the game of barges has become a sort of reflex whenever a member of the family passes over the bridge or on a train over the Seine.
In this episode, I tell you about a new version of the game that my father and I are developing.
In the notes that accompany the transcript, we'll look at three natural French expressions that come from the text and we'll focus on the phrase in the text that contains the locution ‘en train de’, which means « in the process of », and we'll see how it's very important when we're talking about something.
So, if you're ‘in the process of’ cultivating your French, the slow way, at the right pace, I invite you to subscribe to the transcript.
