| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Coffee Break French. Today we're going to be talking about the family. |
| 0:17.3 | Quite often if you're on holiday you may have to introduce members of your family. So |
| 0:21.8 | we'll be learning vocabulary for various members of the family and also have to see |
| 0:27.0 | how he is called and she is called. I hope you enjoy today's lesson. |
| 0:45.2 | You're on holiday in France and let's say a campsite in the south of France and you're |
| 0:52.0 | there with your family. You want to practice your French and one of the easiest ways to |
| 0:56.6 | practice your French with perhaps the people in the next caravan or next tent would |
| 1:01.2 | be to talk about your family and introduce people to them and that's what we're going |
