Intro: Welcome to the French Made Easy podcast, where I give you all the basics you need to speak French clearly and confidently. I'm your host, Mathilde, and I'm a French teacher, mumpreneur, and bread and cheese lover. Join me as I dive into all things French for beginners, and deliver to you bite-sized and easy-to-follow lessons every Tuesday. Let's get started, "on commence"!

Bonjour à tous! 🧡

Welcome back to the French Made Easy Podcast. This is episode number 86, numéro 86!

So today. I think you're going to love this episode. You're going to learn the 50 Most Beautiful French Words, according to the French Made Easy community.

Every Tuesday, every week, I send an email with the link to the new French Made Easy podcast episode to all my subscribers, and about 3 weeks ago, I asked everyone in the P.S section if they had a favorite word in French.

And I got so many answers, so many cute French words. So thank you to everyone who actually replied to my email. There were a few words that were repeated often, such as "parapluie" ☂️ which means "umbrella" which was I think the most preferred word. It came up a lot. Closely followed by "bisous" which means "kiss." 💋 There are a few words that I’ve added myself too.

And if you want you can also let me know in the comments, which one is your favorite French word!

So anyway, that was quite fun for me to create this episode and I hope that's going to be fun for you to listen!

Alright, so I've managed to bring them all down to 50 words. We're going to learn 25 words today, and 25 next week for part II.

If you're new here, make sure you have your lesson's cheat sheet in front of you so you can see the words while listening to the lesson. The download link is in the episode notes, on the podcast platform you're listening to. Also, I’ll give you a bit of rest this week, no exercises for this lesson. :)
