On fait un tour en ville, on goûte les pâtisseries

Let's explore the city, and treat ourselves to French pastries

From locating places in the city and reading maps to asking for directions, taking public transport, and shopping in stores, you'll learn to get around confidently in a French-speaking city. Then, from browsing markets and bakeries to ordering in restaurants, you'll build vocabulary for fruits, vegetables, bread, and food, express your preferences and eating habits, and finish by introducing your own neighborhood — and writing a short review of your favorite restaurant.

Ages 12–18, French learners who already know basic pronunciation, self-introductions, and numbers
