    Episode 2 — The prime minister has two children and lives in the capital

    24/07/2026 | 6 mins.
    Episode two of Day One French, with Louis and Claire. Today you learn the verb avoir (to have), the apostrophe that welds j'ai into a single sound, the family words, and yesterday's promised secret: French people don't say how old they are, they say how many years they have. J'ai trente ans, I have thirty years. Today's real news sentence: La Première ministre a deux enfants et habite dans la capitale.▶ Practice this episode free, lesson sheet + 10-minute homework:https://linguawire.com/dayone/french/2🇫🇷 More free French lessons and daily A1 news:https://linguawire.com/frenchLearn French for beginners · A1 French podcast · real French news made simple.#LearnFrench #FrenchForBeginners #A1French #FrenchPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

    24/07/2026 | 6 mins.

You'll meet le, la and les, plus l', the apostrophe French uses to smash words together, complete the verb être, learn the word aujourd'hui, and discover why the moustache is feminine.

    Episode 4 — More than ten thousand people are at the demonstration

    24/07/2026 | 5 mins.
    Episode four of Day One French, with Louis and Claire. News is obsessed with counting, today you unlock the big numbers: cent, mille, dix mille. And you meet the most gloriously mad thing in the French language: there is no word for eighty. The French say quatre-vingts, four twenties, and seventy is soixante-dix, sixty-ten. Plus the two words for people and the crowd vocabulary of every protest story. Today's sentence: Plus de dix mille personnes sont à la manifestation dans la capitale.▶ Practice this episode free, lesson sheet + 10-minute homework:https://linguawire.com/dayone/french/4🇫🇷 More free French lessons and daily A1 news:https://linguawire.com/frenchLearn French for beginners · A1 French podcast · real French news made simple.#LearnFrench #FrenchForBeginners #A1French #FrenchPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.
