Welcome to the thirty-first episode of the French Blabla podcast where we will cover tips to increase your fluency while boosting your way of learning. Today we’re going to talk about the very first verb you learnt, the verb être, to be. We will learn how to use it in a totally incorrect way but so frequently used in France. We will also learn how to talk about our localization and our whereabouts in a more natural way. This new way to use the verb “être” will make your French teacher scream. Stay tuned!
