Twenty episodes, five minutes a day, with Louis and Claire. In episode one you learn the verb être (I am, he is, she is), the word le président, the official news formula for saying someone's age — and the first great French quirk: the silent letters French writes but refuses to say. By the end you'll understand and say a real French news sentence: Le nouveau président est âgé de soixante-deux ans. Your lesson sheet (full verb table, all pronouns, numbers 0–20) and the ten-minute interactive homework are at LinguaWire.com/DayOne — link below.","author_name":"LinguaWire"}
