New concept

Before you read

In this lesson Luana tells you about her day. You already have most of what you need — pronominal verbs and the time. A few new words first:

French English
se doucher to have a shower
une tartine a slice of bread with butter or jam
prendre le métro to take the metro
aller au travail — je vais au travail to go to work — I go to work
déjeuner to have lunch
rentrer (à la maison) to go back home
se reposer to rest
lire — je lis to read — I read
dîner to have dinner
tout de suite straight away

Se doucher and se reposer work exactly like se lever: je me douche, je me repose. And déjeuner and dîner are also nouns: le déjeuner (lunch), le dîner (dinner).
