| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Coffee Break French. It's lesson 75 and once again we're continuing the conversation |
| 0:17.6 | between David, Christina, Sophie and Jean-Jacques. We'll find out what they do for the living this time |
| 0:23.7 | and we'll also see a few examples of different tendencies that we've come across and also a couple |
| 0:29.5 | that we've not yet covered in Coffee Break French. We hope that you enjoy this lesson of our course. |
| 0:46.9 | So as usual we'll start by listening to the whole of this week's conversation. Of course this is |
| 0:51.9 | part of a longer conversation. So if you're just joining us in this lesson, not having heard previous |
| 0:57.2 | lessons, we'd suggest you go back and start at the very least with lesson 71 where our conversation |
| 1:03.0 | begins. In the part of the conversation we're listening to today, David and Christina get to know |
| 1:08.5 | Sophie and Jean-Jacques a little more and they order some food. Have a listen to this conversation. |
| 1:27.2 | Hello, what's up? Hello, how's it going? Hello, how's it going? Sorry, sorry. |
| 1:33.2 | Don't worry, Christina, and above all don't worry about it. |
| 1:37.6 | What are you doing as Sophie's work? So I'm working as a partner as an English teacher in a private language school |
| 1:45.6 | and the rest of the time I'm cutting our children. It's good to say that it's a lot of work. |
| 1:52.8 | How many children do you have? We have two girls and one boy. And they are the same age, |
| 1:59.2 | who was in Whitton, Lucy in 5th grade. And the little star is 18 months old. You're right, |
| 2:06.1 | Dieluster, a good teacher. Yes, I don't know if he will be very happy when he will be |
| 2:13.0 | older to have a child. But Jean-Jacques, we have a lot to talk about. I know, I'm happy. |
| 2:22.8 | And you, David and Christina, you have children? No, we don't have yet. But we have two girls. |
| 2:30.9 | Ah, I love girls. Me too. But David doesn't like them too much. It's me who wants the girls in fact. |
| 2:39.2 | Yes, it's the little baby of Christina. We have two girls, Camille. It's girls who come from the middle of the morning. |
| 2:47.6 | I don't know if you heard of Max Katz's talks. No, we never heard of them. |
| 2:53.7 | It's girls who don't have anything. They have nothing to do with it. So yes, they don't have anything to do with it. |
