Oui, c'est jeudi !
Welcome to our Daily Dose of Positivity!
As bars and terrasses are reopening little by little all across France, what wouldn't we give for a nice drink outside with our friends? So today, let's enjoy un verre entre amis :)
- Let's start with an elegantly cynical quote from French playwright Sacha Guitry:
Je devine le passé d'une femme à la façon dont elle tient ses cigarettes, et l'avenir d'un homme à la façon dont il tient la boisson.
(Sacha Guitry) I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes, and a man's future from the way he holds his drink/liquor.

- And now let's review our knowledge of French drinks and ordering at the bar with this vocabulary list:
- And finally, avis aux amateurs de bière ! These monks from Normandy were left with 3,000 unsold beers produced at the Abbaye de Saint-Wadrille, and now need to sell them before they go bad! Watch their Youtube video here:
Challenge yourself to hear the following sentences in the above video:
La situation actuelle du confinement nous a obligés d'interrompre le brassage pendant quasiment deux mois.
The current lockdown situation forced us to stop brewing for almost two months.
Aujourd'hui, l'activité reprend doucement mais, évidemment, c'est loin de ce que ça aurait dû être.
Today, business is slowly resuming but, of course, it's far from what it should have been.
Et nous serons heureux de vous faire découvrir cette bière si vous ne la connaissez pas.
And we'll be happy to introduce you to this beer if you don't know it (yet).
Have a refreshing Thursday!
Prenez soin de vous et à demain !
Aurélie
