The first minute of Faire sa valise, from 🥖 Vivre en France. Éva swears everything will fit in one suitcase. Maxime is not so sure.
- MaximeÉva, t'es sûre que tout va rentrer dans cette valise ? Ça m'a l'air un peu juste.Eva, are you sure everything will fit in this suitcase? It looks a bit tight to me.
- ÉvaT'inquiète pas, j'ai tout prévu. J'ai fait une liste détaillée et j'ai tout étalé sur le lit avant de commencer. Fais-moi confiance, je suis une pro de l'emballage !Don't worry, I've planned everything. I made a detailed list and laid everything out on the bed before starting. Trust me, I'm a packing pro!
- MaximeD'accord, mais fais gaffe quand même. Je ne voudrais pas que tu oublies quelque chose d'important. Tu as pensé aux médicaments ?Okay, but be careful anyway. I wouldn't want you to forget something important. Did you think about medications?
- ÉvaBien sûr ! Ils sont dans la trousse de toilette, avec le dentifrice et le shampoing. J'ai aussi prévu assez de sous-vêtements pour deux semaines, au cas où.Of course! They're in the toiletry bag, with the toothpaste and shampoo. I've also packed enough underwear for two weeks, just in case.
- MaximeDeux semaines ? On part que pour cinq jours ! Tu exagères un peu, non ?Two weeks? We're only going for five days! You're exaggerating a bit, aren't you?
- ÉvaMieux vaut trop que pas assez. Et puis, regarde comme je range tout ça. Les chaussettes dans les chaussures, les t-shirts roulés sur le côté, et les pantalons pliés au fond.Better too much than not enough. And look how I'm organizing everything. Socks in the shoes, T-shirts rolled on the side, and pants folded at the bottom.
- MaximeImpressionnant. Mais ça va quand même être serré. Tu es sûre que la fermeture éclair va tenir ?Impressive. But it's still going to be tight. Are you sure the zipper will hold?
- ÉvaSi jamais ça coince, je m'assiérai dessus pour la fermer. C'est une technique infaillible !If it gets stuck, I'll sit on it to close it. It's a foolproof technique!

What readers say
The dialogues are great, the lessons are fun, and I enjoy the everyday phrases which are more useful than formal language.
It gives me a chance to renew my college French and to learn new expressions and idioms that I didn't know before.
This is a great way to practice your reading comprehension and then check yourself with the English translation. I've learned a lot.
