All too often language learners forget to have some fun with their endeavors. They commit to the work, practice their pronunciation, and bury their noses in their vocabulary and lessons. But let’s not forget that your brain needs a break! Give it a little breathing room by taking opportunities to ease up when can and have a laugh!
Here’s something that will make you giggle and expose you to bits of the French language that you may not learn in your lessons—especially in regard to context. The best part about this video isn’t the hilarity of the animals and the superbly done comedic voice-overs, but the easily accessible mots quotidiens (every day words) presented in easily understood scenarios.
Take the time to watch it, then go back through—holding your giggles—and really listen to the words while peeking at the subtitles. Seriously, if you’re nearing intermediate French, you’ll get a lot out of this. . . including a few laughs.
