Les matins en coloc (Mornings in a flatshare)

Level A1 (beginner)

It’s your first evening in a shared flat in Montpellier, and your new flatmate has one thing on her mind: how to share the bathroom in the morning. One bathroom, two busy schedules, and a whole routine to agree on before tomorrow. To find a plan that works for both of you, you’ll need French reflexive verbs in the present tense, the everyday verbs of any morning. Will you sort out the mornings, or end up waiting outside the bathroom door?

Talk with real French people

No fill-in-the-blanks here. Each interactive scene drops you into a real moment of everyday life in France, as if you were there: a French person speaks to you, in their own voice and at their own pace, and you decide what to say back.

Every answer counts. Find the right words and the conversation moves on. Get them wrong and they react, just like a real person would. Then you find out why, and you can try again.

Live a real French situation. Each scene puts you in an everyday moment, just as it would happen in France. Listen, then choose what to say.
