It is recommended that learners complete at least Coffee Break French Season 1 and Season 2 before taking this course.Each episode has three sections:
- Study of a text: Susie reads a text on a cultural topic and then together Mark and Pierre-Benoît discuss the language in this text, focusing on interesting points of vocabulary and grammar;
- Listener’s question: Mark answers a question from a listener on an aspect of learning French;
- Closing section: to end the episode, Susie presents an additional piece of interesting vocabulary or an idiomatic expression which will help you sound more like a native speaker.
