La course rose à Bordeaux (The pink run in Bordeaux)

Level A2 (elementary)

October in Bordeaux, and the whole city has turned pink for breast cancer awareness. By the river, near the Miroir d’eau, a volunteer is signing people up for this year’s charity run. You’d love to take part, but first you need to know when, where and how much. You’ll practise asking questions the way French people really do, and give a few details about yourself to sign up. Will you leave the stand with your pink T-shirt?

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.

  • Real voices, recorded by a native French teacher
  • Natural spoken French, the way people really talk
  • Several endings: can you find them all?
