0:00.0	On today's join us in France tour the southwest with Annie and Elise. the The This is join us in France episode 147. Bonjou, I'm Annie, and today I bring you a conversation with Elise about some of the places
0:47.8	that we are going to visit on our upcoming tour of the southwest of France. My thanks to the listeners who signed up to support
0:55.9	the show on Patreon this week, Nancy Colliard and Alexander Schraff. Thank you so much Nancy and Alexander for becoming patrons of the show.
1:08.5	You can support the show on Patreon for as little as $5 per month or the price of, you know, a coffee I guess if you go to
1:17.5	Starbucks it might not even buy you a whole big coffee. It depends. But anyway, it's pretty inexpensive and it really helps out.
1:25.0	There is also exclusive content for patrons.
1:29.0	Last week I released a new installment of Lunch Break French,
1:33.5	the monthly French Language Comprehension Challenge
1:36.7	for Patreon supporters.
1:39.0	This is fairly advanced spoken French.
1:42.4	I enunciate clearly. You can follow along in French as well as read the

1:56.4	There are plenty of other great resources to get you started in French. The very easiest one is called dual lingo. It's an app that you can install on your phone. It's free.

2:16.8	that all of these things are fairly... They're for beginners. The other place that I recommend you go to is Laura K Lawless. I think it's called Lawless French. And it's very good. It's very very good because she's good at explaining French grammar.
2:34.6	She's a, she's an American, American born, but has lived in France for a long time and she's very good at
2:41.5	explaining grammar. So, so so anyway so that's ready for you and also the first
2:47.0	extended show notes that I promised last week they're written and they're ready to go but I'm stuck on how to distribute this so give me a couple more days it'll be out soon these extended show notes are kind of an addendum to the to the show because I obviously I create a
3:06.8	post that goes along with every episode and if you want to see the one for this
3:11.8	episode you need to go to join us in France.com
3:14.6	forward slash 147, the number 147.
