Money, money, money
This week, we’re counting our euros and cents while learning to talk about money in French 💶
You probably know that France’s official currency is the euro (€), but did you know that on euro coins, though one side is common to all EU countries, the other side features country-specific designs? Thus, on French coins, you can spot several symbols of the French Republic, such as the image of Marianne, the motto “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”, and a hexagon, referring to France’s geographical shape! 😊
Alors, sans plus attendre, let’s cash in on the priceless French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🤑
Quote me on this!
French film director Claude Chabrol (1930-2010)
Let’s start with an interesting quote about wealth by French film director Claude Chabrol. Do you agree?
“On ne doit pas avoir plus d’argent que son imagination ne permet d’en dépenser.”
(We must not have more money than our imagination allows us to spend.)
