Hello everyone,\\xa0

It\'s an episode with Camille, the voice behind French Today, and we\'re talking about the different registers people use when speaking French.\\xa0

A register is a level of formality - you don\'t speak the same way in a job interview and a barbecue with friends, do you?

In English, the register you use is reflected in the vocabulary. But in French, sure, the vocab changes, but it also affects the sentence structure and pronunciation. Camille explains it all in this episode.\\xa0

We also talk about the importance of leaving your comfort zone,\\xa0how to efficiently expand\\xa0your long-term vocabulary, and how\\xa0learning French in France can actually be trickier than learning it abroad.\\xa0

Also, Camille has written in great detail about two of the things we talked about in this episode.\\xa0
