Practice your French by listening to this episode about gifts and even receive one! This special episode is all about giving, kindness, thinking about friends and family members and wanting to make them feel happy - yes, by giving them a present.  And the first gift I’m talking about is the gift I will be sending to one of you, dear listeners. Yes, on Monday, December 19th, 2021, I will hold a lottery. You will find all the instructions to enter the lottery in the beginning of this episode. So even if you don’t have an intermediate level yet, listen and follow the instructions in French and English. 

The story behind this episode: many birthdays in December and Christmas around the corner It all made me think about why we offer gifts, and how each of us chooses them. Listen to my opinion about giving gift cards and money. Reflect with me on the hidden sense of giving a present. All this in French of course!

And as usual, this episode is a great opportunity for you to practice your French, improve your listening skills but also learn vocabulary, expressions and create patterns in order to speak better.
