Because it’s summer — and to keep things feeling light and fun — this podcast channel aims to stay connected to French pronunciation. The episodes are short and straightforward, each focusing on how to pronounce essential French sounds that are tricky or commonly mispronounced.

Today's episode is about the pronunciation of the "es" at the end of French words.
➡️ Read the transcript while listening, to link the sounds to the spelling and also to do the little pronunciation exercice at the end.

TRANSCRIPTION :
Bonjour ! Tu vas bien ? Moi je vais super bien !

Aujourd’hui on va pratiquer un son qui s’écrit “es” et qui se prononce “euh” ou des fois “é”.

Il se prononce toujours “euh” quand il est à la fin d’un mot comme par exemple : petites. Le “euh” est discret: lavandes, tentes, tables, robes, grandes, petites …
On ne dit pas : petités ou grandés. On dit petites, grandes.

Attention les possessifs et les articles avec “es” se prononcent : les, des, mes, tes, ses.

Donc on va dire : les petites filles / les grandes vacances.

Allez, maintenant le quiz final !
So, you will speak just after I say the number. A blank will give you time to speak. Then listen to my pronunciation. Read number 2 and listen to the pronunciation again. Keep going like that.
Prêt ? C’est parti !
1: Les robes
2: Mes valises
3: Tes grandes lunettes
4: Les petites vacances
5: Des belles plages
6: Les grandes tables
7: Mes belles chemises
8: Tes énormes voitures
9: Des grandes sandales
10: Des bonnes glaces

Et voilà c’est tout pour aujourd’hui. Allez on se revoit au prochain épisode ! A bientôt !

실화 감동 영화 [기적(Miracle)]

Egg prices are rising in America. The average cost of a dozen eggs hit a record $4.95 in January — up 53% from a year earlier. The price was below $2 in early 2022.

While the coronavirus pandemic and inflation have affected prices, experts say the real problem has been bird flu. An outbreak that began in early 2022 has become the largest in US history, affecting more than 100 million egg-laying hens.

To cope with rising egg prices, some Americans have been going straight to the source — and renting hens.

Rent The Chicken in New Hampshire is letting people rent egg-laying hens for six months at a time. For $595, you get two egg-laying hens and a guide on how to take care of them, as well as chicken feed and a coop to keep the birds in.

The birds actually aren't very difficult to take care of, explains Brian Templeton, owner of Rent The Chicken. "You just let them out and walk around and they go in at night on their own," he told CBS News.

"People really enjoy it," he added.

Rent The Chicken says two hens should produce eight to 14 eggs per week.

That comes to about $25 for every dozen eggs — so it's not really a savings.

You can also get four hens for $735, which would reduce your cost to about $15 per dozen eggs.

However, if you'd like to keep your chickens and coop at the end of your rental period, you can — for an extra $350 to $450.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hens will usually live for six to eight years, and produce eggs for three to four of those years.

So that might bring your price down over time.

Your Digital Nomad Journey

The allure of remote work and constant travel beckons. But trading your cubicle for a co-working space in Bali requires planning. Here's how to embark on your digital nomad adventure:

1. Skill Up & Find Your Niche: Can your talents translate to remote work?  Web developers, writers, and virtual assistants are in high demand. Hone your skills and identify a niche market you can serve virtually.

2.  Embrace Remote Work:  Many traditional jobs now offer remote options.  Discuss flexibility with your employer or explore remote work platforms. If freelancing, build a strong portfolio and secure clients before taking the leap.

3.  Financials: Be Ruthless:  Living on the road can be surprisingly affordable, but research your desired destinations.  Factor in visas, co-living, and travel costs.  Build a healthy savings cushion to cover any hiccups.

4.  Tech is Your Lifeline: Invest in reliable equipment - a sturdy laptop, noise-cancelling headphones, and a universal adapter are crucial.  Don't forget secure cloud storage and a VPN for safe internet access on the go.

5.  Master Time Zones:  Working across continents requires discipline.  Schedule calls considering time zone differences and utilize tools like calendar apps to avoid confusion.

6.  Embrace Community:  Combat loneliness by joining online digital nomad communities and co-working spaces in your destinations.  These connections are invaluable for support and advice.

7.  Be Flexible & Adaptable:  Expect unexpected internet outages, cultural differences, and travel mishaps.  Maintain a positive attitude and problem-solving skills are key for a smooth journey.

Remember, the digital nomad life isn't all sunsets and beaches. It requires hard work, discipline, and a willingness to adapt. But for those seeking freedom and adventure, the rewards are endless.
