Bonjour à tous and welcome back to the podcast! In the last episode, I talked about my click and collect habits. You can listen to it here if you've missed it.

Today, we’re leaving the shops behind and heading outdoors.

While driving toward a small village, I came across something unexpected that made me stop the car and take a closer look. It reminded me of salt in French and led to a little side trip that I can’t wait to tell you about.

This episode is perfect for A2 learners who want to practice listening and storytelling in French.

You’ll learn how to express obligation using il faut and on doit, two very common and useful expressions.

We’ll also explore vocabulary linked to nature, landscapes, and travel discoveries, perfect for describing what you see when you’re out exploring.

In this episode:

Vocabulary Expansion: Learn practical French words about salt in French, the salt flats, and the natural world.
Grammar Focus: Practice il faut and on doit to talk about rules, advice, and everyday obligations.
Challenge: A short writing task at the end to help you use today’s grammar and vocabulary in your own story.

If you enjoy learning French through simple, real-life experiences, this episode will be a great opportunity to improve your skills while discovering one of the most fascinating landscapes in France, the pink salins, where salt in French meets sunlight and sea breeze.

Don’t forget to download the complete guide below, with the transcript, vocabulary, and grammar explanation.
