Hello and welcome to a new episode of Coffee Break French To Go!
[Music playing.]
Today there are lots of things that are annoying me.
We're in the city centre and there are lorries going past,
there are cars going past,
and, in fact, that's my question for today:
What annoys you most? (Qu'est-ce qui t'embête le plus ?)
Or, more formally:
What annoys you most? (Qu'est-ce qui vous embête le plus ?)
Let's take a look together at how people answered.
[Try to listen to the answers first time through without subtitles.]
Great answers! And the people weren't even grumpy.
It's crazy!
We're going to watch one more time, but with subtitles this time.
Constraints. Constraints that aren't enjoyable.
Not being able to work when I want to work, or when I feel the most productive, for example.
That annoys me.
Getting bills in the post!
What annoys me most in life?
I think I'd say when people are late.
Eating salad!
A little bit; monotony a little bit but I still manage to keep myself busy.
I would say when there are things I want that I can't have straight away.
Oh, well, close-minded people...
who are, ehm... who only think of themselves, who... I dunno.
Personally I don't like bigoted, close-minded people,
who always have to judge and criticise what you do even though you're just living your life,
you're chilled, you don't bother anyone.
What annoys me often, well, when I'm annoyed often it's at the wheel
because there's a great lack of courtesy when driving, so that's what annoys me the most.
Well, the same. We aren't friends for nothing! She's saying exactly what I was thinking, so there you go,
and I don't like the fact that, I don't like lots of things but I can't change anything,
but for example, wage inequalities etc., male/female inequalities etc., I can't get over it.
Or even the fact that, in other countries, women have absolutely no access
- like we do - to education or schooling etc. There you go.
There are lots of things that annoy us!
I don't know, I come from the Paris region... traffic jams, people,
pubic transport, but definitely lots of other things too.
So, those answers... did you like them?
Now it's my turn to annoy you with my question!
What annoys you most?
Well done!
Thank you. And that's us finished for today so we'll see you very, very soon for another episode of Coffee Break French To Go!
Bye!
