À la française – Mini Podcast Edition

Idiomatic Expression

This week, we introduce our new fun format to learn French expressions. For each new expression, you’ll have its meaning, some useful in-context examples and… a short-podcast version to fully learn it!

And to celebrate Music Day, our first expression is all about those moves!

Music Instruments Vocabulary – A1-B1 Level

It’s time to join the musical festivities and talk about les instruments de musique in French 🎶
Come and explore our vocabulary list and its interactive word game!

Another great way to remember new vocabulary is to write sentences using it in context. Here’s an example for you to get inspired:

“Jérôme et ses amis font partie d’un groupe de musique et ils jouent tous d’un instrument. Olivier joue de la batterie, Lucie joue de la basse et Jérôme chante et il est à la guitare. Sur certains morceaux, ils ont aussi la participation de l’accordéon de Lyse et du piano de Lucas.”

À vous de jouer !
