Hello everyone, and yes, we're back for a new episode of Coffee Break French To Go!
[Music playing.]
My question today is:
Do you prefer summer or winter? (Est-ce que tu préféres l'été, ou l'hiver ?)
Or more formally:
Do you prefer summer or winter? (Est-ce que vous préférez l'été, ou l'hiver ?)
Let's take a look together at how people responded.
[Try to listen to the answers first time through without subtitles.]
Great answers!
Now let's watch it again, but with subtitles.
Ehm, well I don't have a preference because we're going to do activities depending on the season.
Summer, that can be more about surfing and, well, winter's for snowboarding.
Well, I like both. We don't do the same thing in summer and in winter.
In winter... if we're lucky enough to be able to go to places where there's snow, it's pretty magical.
It transforms nature.
And then, in summer, the pace of life isn't the same and people are more relaxed.
There's a nonchalance and a carefreeness in summer which is nice too.
I prefer winter because I prefer being cold
and to put on lots of clothes to warm up, rather than being warm even when in a swimming costume, there you go.
Definitely summer.
Because of the sun. I love the heat.
I love getting a tan, having drinks on a terrace when it's warm, going out.
So, summer or winter, for me it's pretty equal actually.
It' not really the season that counts, it's all about what we do
Winter, there are winter sports, there's skiing, there's snowboarding, and that's cool.
There are also evenings, let's say "chill" evenings, in front of Netflix, that's nice.
And summer's about barbecues, it's... long meals,
long dinners by the Erdre (River), the Erdre which is in Nantes.
And that... that's mainly what counts actually. I don't have a preference.
I prefer winter because it's not as hot and you're more comfortable.
So, I prefer summer because I prefer the heat, the sun.
It... it has an effect on my mood and I'm much happier in summer
and I really like dressing in light clothes to make the most of the sun.
I prefer winter because at least when it's too cold
you can put on layers of clothing to warm up
and the opposite is impossible.
I really like all of those answers.
Personally, I prefer summer, even though it's really hot today.
Now I have a question for you:
Do you prefer summer or winter?
Excellent! Bravo!
Well that's all for today, but we'll see each other very, very soon for a new episode of Coffee Break French To Go.
Bye!
