TV or not TV?
This week, we’re watching some good old TV, a great way to improve one’s language mastery 🤓📺
In France, the main public television channels are available on the TNT (Télévision numérique terrestre) platform and belong to the public broadcasting service. They include national networks like France 2 and France 3, alongside specialised networks such as France 4, France 5 and Franceinfo, as well as the European partnership Arte and the parliamentary channel LCP (La Chaîne Parlementaire). Bon visionnage ! 📱😊
Alors, sans plus attendre, make yourselves some snacks, settle nicely into your sofa and turn on the lively French KwizIQ content we’ve selected for you! 🤗🛋️

Finally, it’s your turn to discuss your favourite and least favourite TV programs thanks to this useful 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:
– Qu’est-ce que tu aimes regarder à la télé ?
– Un peu de tout. J’aime me tenir informé, donc je regarde le JT et la météo bien sûr, mais aussi des documentaires et des reportages sur l’actualité et l’histoire en général. Je n’aime pas du tout les émissions de télé-réalité ou les feuilletons américains. Et toi ?
– Moi j’adore les émissions de variétés et de divertissement, les films et les séries policières. Par contre, je déteste la pub !
– Ah oui, moi aussi !
À vous de jouer !
