Cool and off beat
It's a great way to learn the varations of a word and how they can be used.
C'est la vie word of the week
I truly enjoy this segment. Even though I only have highschool french, I like adding to my vocabulary. I found the discussion on the use of the rolled "r" very intriguing. Since I can't roll my "r's", I'm glad to hear that it is going out of fashion.
Virer en brosse!
I love hearing all thé regional expressions .
