Hello! Welcome to this new episode of the Authentic French podcast. I am very happy to be able to teach you a new idiomatic expression today, an expression used by French speakers on a daily basis and that is interesting to know. Once again, as often, on Sundays, I explain expressions to you. You don't really have to use them. If you do, that's good, but the number 1 goal is really to understand all these expressions so as not to be lost when you hear them on television, if you read them in a book or something else. Today's expression is about "taking the train on the move". We're going to see exactly what it's about.
You have two super important links at the bottom, in the description of this episode. The first link takes you to the description of the Authentic French Academy . So, I'm not going to give you the whole description since I've talked about it a lot. But basically, the Academy allows you to speak French, allows you to express yourself in French with confidence. It's a resource that is based on my natural learning method in two pillars. You have a pillar that allows you to learn through content independently, you listen to lots of things, and another pillar which is practice. We put you in the best conditions so that you can speak with the French tutors of the Academy.
Registration closes on Tuesday. So on indonesia whatsapp number data Tuesday, April 12th, registration closes. It's now or never, because they're closed 90% of the year. That's the first link in the description, with all the explanations. That'll let you know exactly how it works.
And of course, the second link is the PDF file of the episode in which you will find the explanation of the words, the meaning of the expression, examples etc. So, it's a PDF. You click and you can download it directly.
Let's move on to our expression "to take the train on the move". The verb "to take" is very widespread in the French language and it has different meanings. I think you've already had the opportunity to come across it. It can mean to catch something. To take can also mean to become of a certain consistency, to take a form. So these are meanings of "to take".
Here, the verb "to take", it is actually included in a little expression "to take the train", which means to get on the train. If you hear "to take the bus", well you get on the bus and you use the bus as a means of transportation. Taking the plane is the same. If I say: "I'm going to take the plane to go to the United States", well I get on the plane and I use the plane as a means of transportation. So "to take", here, it is used in that way.
