In Lesson 42 we continue to look at ER verbs in the present tense by talking about our daily routines.

In Lesson 41 we move on from looking at particular words and phrases to constructing the language so you can say exactly what you want to say. We start by taking a look at how to conjugate regular ER verbs in the present tense.

An update for our subscribers: There are two things I’d like to tell you about today., The first of these is some good news about CBF. We’re back on track and Anna is feeling much better. We’ve been recording some content for you and the ‘new term’ will begin on Saturday 17th January when you’ll be able to download lesson 41 and start to get back into your French. The new season will really help you build your confidence in the language as we’re going to be looking at grammar in more depth. So, next Saturday, 17th January, season 5 of CBF begins. Make sure you stay subscribed to this feed and you’ll receive the next lessons automatically. For those of you who have been premium subscribers, we’ll be providing information as to how to continue to receive the bonus materials for CBF. We’ll put some detailed information in the premium podcast feed during the next week with a step by step guide as to how to get the new materials. The other piece of news I’d like to tell you about today is that we’ve been working on a new French project over the past year and we’re absolutely delighted to announce that it’s now ready to see the light of day! Walk, Talk and Learn French is a video podcast which introduces elements of French grammar and vocabulary in a very innovative way. You may remember PB who has featured in a number of episodes of CBF. Well, he brings his inimitable style to WTL as he wanders around the streets of Paris, talking about the language he sees on signs, posters and adverts. If you are lucky enough to be able to travel to the country where the language you are learning is spoken then you can experience this type of immersion as you look around you. However, it’s not always possible to travel to the country and experience it for yourself. So, we’re bringing these examples of French in use to you, with this new video podcast. WTL can be accessed through the website at walktalkandlearn.com and, as usual, you can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or by using the links on the website. The weekly video episodes will be delivered directly to your computer or your iPod or iPhone. They’re also available to play directly from the website, and there are lesson notes and exercises available too. I’ve put a couple of promo videos in the CBF feed so hopefully you’ll be able to get a feel for what we’re trying to bring you with WTL.
