Hi guys! Salut à tous! Welcome back to the French Made Easy Podcast! This is episode number 44, numéro 44. And in this episode, we're learning some kitchen vocabulary! Le vocabulaire de la cuisine! There'll also be a quiz at the end of the episode. As you can see, we're a bit on a roll; last week, we learned things related to the bathroom, this week the kitchen, and in the next few weeks, we'll do other rooms in the house.
As usual, it's easier if you have the lesson cheat sheet in front of you, so go and download it first. It's free. After the lesson, head over to the French Made Easy library to download your lesson's exercises. It's also free.
