Last week was my birthday!  Isn't there a better occasion to talk about how we celebrate birthdays in France? And of course to tell you about Fred - who doesn't celebrate his birthday, and Caroline for whom every event, small or big, is an opportunity to gather friends and family, eat, dance - to celebrate!

This episode is best for A2 level (intermediate) and for all those of you who learned French a few years (decades?) ago and wish to refresh it. Practice your listening skills, enrich your vocabulary, learn about useful daily words and idioms.

The transcription and the translation are available for free on www.frenchcarte.com
