- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn French with Fexingo. I was just thinking about how the weather is changing. Leaves are falling everywhere. Luna: Oh, totally. It's that crisp time of year. I love it. Lucas: So today, let's talk about autumn activities in French. Perfect for this season. Luna: Ooh, I'm ready. What's the first phrase? Lucas: Let's start with something simple: Je ramasse les feuilles. It means I pick up leaves. Luna: Je ramasse les feuilles. Lucas: Perfect. Je ramasse les feuilles. Try it once more, Luna. Luna: Je ramasse les feuilles. Lucas: Great. So if you're raking your yard or just collecting colorful leaves on a walk, that's your phrase. Luna: I can picture a big pile of leaves. So satisfying. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's add another: Je fais une balade en forêt. I take a walk in the forest. Luna: Je fais une balade en forêt. That sounds nice. Lucas: Je fais une balade en forêt. Lots of trees, crunching sounds. Luna: Je fais une balade en forêt. I love that. Lucas: Now, after a walk, you need something warm. How about Je bois du chocolat chaud. I drink hot chocolate. Luna: Je bois du chocolat chaud. That's the best part. Lucas: Je bois du chocolat chaud. Say it with me, slowly: Je bois du chocolat chaud. Luna: Je bois du chocolat chaud. Yeah, I can almost taste it. Lucas: Let's also do something cozy: Je lis un livre sous une couverture. I read a book under a blanket. Luna: Je lis un livre sous une couverture. That's exactly what I do on rainy days. Lucas: Je lis un livre sous une couverture. Perfect for autumn. Luna: Je lis un livre sous une couverture. Got it. Lucas: Now, let's put it all together with a final phrase: L'automne est ma saison préférée. Autumn is my favorite season. Luna: L'automne est ma saison préférée. That one's a bit longer, but I'll try. Lucas: L'automne est ma saison préférée. Take your time. Luna: L'automne est ma saison préférée. I think I got it. Lucas: You did. So let's review all five quickly: Je ramasse les feuilles, Je fais une balade en forêt, Je bois du chocolat chaud, Je lis un livre sous une couverture, L'automne est ma saison préférée. Luna: Oh, that's such a nice set. I can already imagine a little story: je ramasse les feuilles, je fais une balade en forêt, je bois du chocolat chaud, je lis un livre sous une couverture. Lucas: And then you say L'automne est ma saison préférée. Perfect. Luna: This is so much fun. I feel like I'm actually in an autumn scene.
