Learn one useful expression to have better conversations in French. 

👋🇨🇵 Bonjour French learners !

Let's study or practice one useful expression for your daily life in a French speaking country. 

✅ Today's expression is: f a i r e   l a   q u e u e 

🇨🇵 Faire la queue = stand in line

Examples:
📌 Je déteste faire la queue. C'est long et ennuyeux.  - I hate standing in line. It's long and boring. 

📌 Je fais souvent la queue à la boulangerie pour acheter du pain.  - I often stand in line in the bakery to buy some bread.

🗣 Your turn!
Et toi, tu as déjà fait la queue pour manger au restaurant ? - Have you already waited/stood in line to eat at the restaurant?

😀 Hope it was useful for you!
🤩 Don't hesitate to answer in French in the comments, I'm here for you. 
🤗 Suggest another expression you want me to teach you.

Vous connaissez peut-être BlablaCar, le service de covoiturage où on partage le trajet avec d'autres personnes. Maintenant il y a Blabla caisse. Qu'est-ce que c'est? C'est une caisse de supermarché où les clients peuvent prendre leur temps et discuter avec la caissière. C'est tout le contraire des caisses rapides où on scanne nous-mêmes nos achats. Le temps qu'il fait, votre nouvelle recette, des nouvelles de vos enfants, des blagues, vous pouvez discuter de tout avec la caissière comme si vous étiez au marché et discutiez avec votre marchand préféré. Ça rend le supermarché plus humain, n'est-ce pas?
