It's almost Easter, aka a four-day weekend in the UK. Woo! We start the episode with a story about the UK's cost of living crisis, and then dive into the different ways Easter is celebrated across the UK, US, and Japan. This week's Frenglish term is 'promenade' -- you may be surprised by what other word it is related to.

I'm starting French lessons this week, ahhh! Wish me bon chance. 😬 Our Slice of London Life story is about the opening of the tube's brand-new Elizabeth Line, as well as the 4-day work week trial happening across the UK. We then jump into the main topic, common mistakes made by French people-- even fluent English speakers, like Joseph. Plus, who will win the newlywed game this week...?!

We're in a bit of a cycle of wake up, work, sleep right now so we're excited to take a break from that and catch up with you all on the pod!

We also discuss the background of 'emoji' as a Japanese word, rant about Netflix's 'Bad Vegan,' and dive into a Reddit thread on 'what makes living in London worth it.' Our Frenglish term of the week is 'touche.'
