    DANS L'EPISODE D'AUJOURD'HUI - LE FREEGANISME - PART 2 Bonjour à tous les amis. Je suis heureux de vous retrouver pour ce deuxième épisode dédié au sujet du freeganisme.  Le freeganisme, comme nous l’avons découvert la semaine dernière, est une pratique qui consiste à récupérer, dans les poubelles des magasins, des produits qui pourraient encore être consommés. Mais au fait, savez-vous si le freeganisme est légal ? Que fait la police lorsqu’elle surprend des personnes en train de fouiller dans les poubelles ? Dans l’épisode d’aujourd’hui, Léa va nous parler de ce que nous avons le droit ou pas de faire lorsque nous fouillons dans les poubelles. Elle nous racontera aussi ses plus intéressantes anecdotes de sa vie de freeganiste.  Pour en savoir plus, écoutez l’épisode d’aujourd’hui. IN TODAY'S EPISODE: FREEGANISM - PART 1 Hello, hello my dear friends! I'm so happy to see you again for this second episode dedicated to the topic of freeganism. Freeganism, as we saw last week, consists in salvaging edible food from the bins. But do you know if doing so is legal in France ? What do the police do when they find someone going through the bins on the streets ? In today's episode, Léa will tell us the dos and don'ts when going through the bins. She'll also tell us some of her best anecdotes of her freegan life. If you want to find out more about it, listen to today's episode.  Listen to today's episode to find out more about it.

    EPISODE 25 - LE FREEGANISME

    DANS L'ÉPISODE D'AUJOURD'HUI : LE FREEGANISME - PARTIE 1 Bonjour à tous les amis. Aujourd'hui, nous allons parler d'un sujet qui va certainement en surprendre plus d'un(e) parmi vous : le freeganisme. Connaissez-vous ce concept ? Le freeganisme est une pratique qui consiste à récupérer, dans les poubelles des magasins, des produits qui pourraient encore être consommés. En effet, en France, ce sont chaque année, près de 10 000 tonnes de produits alimentaires qui sont jetés à la poubelle. Et parmi ces produits, une grande partie pourrait parfaitement être consommée par la population. L'objectif est ainsi de limiter le gaspillage alimentaire. Pour mieux comprendre la situation, j'ai demandé à mon amie Léa de nous parler du freeganisme. Elle le pratique depuis près de dix ans et est très sensible à la question du gaspi alimentaire. Pour en savoir plus, écoutez l'épisode d'aujourd'hui. IN TODAY'S EPISODE: FREEGANISM - PART 1 Hello, hello my dear friends! Today, we're going to talk about a topic that'll probably sound surprising to a lot of you - freeganism! Are you familiar with this concept? Freeganism is an activity that consists in going through the bins to salvage any product that's been thrown away but can still be consumed. Indeed, in France, close to 10,000 tons of food are thrown away every year, among which a wide part is still edible. The goal of freeganism is to fight food waste. In order to have a better understanding of the situation, I've asked my friend Lea to give us her insight. She's been a freeganist for about 10 years and she's quite aware of the problems related to food wastes. Listen to today's episode to find out more about it. Do you want to book a lesson with me ?

    EPISODE 21 - LA BELLE HISTOIRE D'AMOUR

    DANS L'EPISODE D'AUJOURD'HUI : LA BELLE HISTOIRE D'AMOUR  Je suis absolument persuadé que vous avez tous d’excellentes raisons d’apprendre le français. Mais j’ai une petite question. Est-ce qu’il y en a parmi vous qui apprenez le français par amour ? Le problème, c’est que, lorsqu’on vient de deux pays différents, il n’est pas facile de se retrouver pour vivre ensemble. Face à cela, certains couples prennent une décision totalement différente. Ils décident de vivre leur relation à distance. C’est-à-dire qu’aucun des deux ne choisit de quitter sa vie. Chacun reste chez soi et les amoureux ne se retrouvent que pour des périodes limitées, tous les weekends pour les plus chanceux, ou seulement pendant les vacances pour ceux qui sont trop éloignés. Aujourd’hui, nous allons retrouver Marie-Christine qui justement est en relation à distance. Dans une très longue conversation, elle a très gentiment accepté de nous raconter son histoire et comment elle vit cette situation au quotidien. Cet épisode est le premier d'une série de deux. On se retrouve dans le prochain pour entendre la suite.  IN TODAY'S EPISODE: A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY I'm convinced that you all have excellent reasons to be learning French. But I'm curious. Are some of you learning French because of love?  The problem is that when we come from two different countries, it's not always easy to live in the same country. Facing this, some couples make a totally different decision. They decide to start a distance relationship. This means that none of them leaves their life behind to follow the other. Each of them stays home and they only meet for limited periods of time, every weekend for the lucky ones, or only during the holiday for those who live to far apart from each other.  Today, we'll be listening to Marie-Christine who's in a distance relationship. In today's conversation, she's kindly accepted to tell us her story and how she lives this situation daily.  This is the first part of two. Meet me in the following episode to listen to the end of the conversation.  Listen to the episode to find out more about it. Do you want to book a lesson with me ?

    EPISODE 20 - LA DANSEUSE DE POLE

    DANS L'EPISODE D'AUJOURD'HUI : LA DANSEUSE DE POLE Je ne sais pas comment se passent les choses dans votre pays, mais en France, il y a certaines activités qui gagnent en popularité sans qu’on sache véritablement pourquoi. Dans les années 90, le squash était un sport incontournable. Puis ça a été le jogging et la participation à des marathons qui a pris le devant de la scène dans les années 2000. Et maintenant, depuis la fin des années 2010, c’est un sport assez improbable qui est en train de conquérir les Françaises et certains Français. Il s’agit de la pole-dance. Dans cet épisode, une prof de pole-dance nous dit tout sur ce sport très tendance. Ecoutez l'épisode pour en savoir plus. IN TODAY'S EPISODE : THE POLE DANCER I don't know how things are in your country, but here in France, certain hobbies get very popular and there's no way to know why. In the 90's, squash clubs were the place to be. Then jogging and marathons came along and kept French people busy. And finally, now, since the end of 2010's, a very uncommon sport is gaining popularity among French women and some men as well : pole dancing.  In today's episode, a pole dance teacher tells us everything about this very trendy sport.  Listen to the episode to find out more about it.  Do you want to book a lesson with me ?
