Small talks - French with Anne

Episode 9: Small talks about spring


Listen Later

In this episode, I share some thoughts about the cultural differences I noticed when it comes to talking about the weather. I also talk about my experience as a French person living in Quebec where winters are known to be very cold and what to expect if someone wants to immigrate in this part of the world. I also explain why spring has become my favorite season. In terms of grammar, you will notice  in this podcast how I use a variety of verb tenses (past, present, future) but I rarely talk using the conditional tense as this is not an hypothetical situation. Here is a vocabulary list to enrich your vocabulary regarding springtime.
