This is the companion podcast to On Track Episode 1: the first day of the race, starting in Venice. The episode itself is on the Coffee Break Languages YouTube channel, and it’s best to watch that first. We talk about how the day went, so be aware there will be spoilers!
Max tells the story of day one from Team Blue’s side, in a short French text written for learners. We read it through, talk about the language in it, then read it again, so by the end you’ll understand every word.
Max uses on rather than nous all the way through, which is how most French speakers say we in everyday conversation. There are a couple of phrases worth taking on your own travels too, like avoir hâte de and rattraper son retard.
