Bonjour les amis,
One thing that comes almost immediately to mind when we talk about the country of France is her wine. France has the world’s largest wine production with a production of about 7–8 billion bottles every year according to OIV (International Organization of Vine and Wine). (Hehe, that’s more than enough to get us all quite drunk for a while
).
The reason I am talking about wine today is because I have just completed the Drinks and Beverages section of the Talking Dictionary in French. There, you will learn how to correctly pronounce many of the most common drinks and beverages in the French language.
One important verb to learn when talking about drinks is, of course, the verb boire (to drink). I hope the audio clips below will help you with the pronunciation. Don’t forget to return to the Beverage section to learn more words and expressions with cool images and sounds. A bientôt!
