It’s time for another episode of Coffee Break French, and in this episode Mark and Pierre-Benoît discuss the latest email from Monique to her daughter Sylvie. A number of interesting examples of French appear in this episode, including the expressions de mon temps, en faire lourd and further examples of the imperfect tense.

I just finished listening to lesson 4:29 in which the idiomatic phrase “piquer du nez” was discussed. Mark couldn’t think of any English expression that was the equivalent but one did occur to me that might be close (or close as we could get): faceplant. I admit that it generally applies to violent unintentional falling on one’s face but that’s the best one I could come up with.
