In this special bilingual episode of Nos Parcours, we explore one of the most extraordinary medical discoveries in history — the discovery of insulin, made right here in Canada. 🇨🇦💉
More than a hundred years ago, diabetes was a fatal disease. There was no treatment, and most people who suffered from it died very young. But in 1921, a young Canadian doctor, Frederick Banting, and his assistant, Charles Best, working in a small laboratory at the University of Toronto, made a discovery that would change the world forever.
After months of experiments, they found a hormone capable of controlling blood sugar — insulin. In 1922, they tested it for the first time on a young boy named Leonard Thompson, who was very sick. The result was a miracle: the boy recovered and lived.
This discovery saved millions of lives and transformed diabetes from a deadly illness into a manageable condition. Dr. Banting became the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in medicine, and his discovery remains one of the greatest scientific achievements of all time. 🌍✨
In this short story, told in both English and French, you’ll not only learn new vocabulary and expressions but also train your ears to understand French naturally. Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word — just listen, repeat, and enjoy the story. Little by little, your French will improve.
🎧 Listen several times — while walking, cooking, or relaxing — and let your ears fall in love with the rhythm of French.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re doing well.
Today’s episode is a little special — I actually have a lot of work to do, but I really wanted to stay consistent and share something with you anyway. Consistency is the key to progress, right?
As you may know, I studied veterinary medicine in Iran, and now I’m living in Toronto, Canada. To get my professional license recognized here, I need to pass several exams — and one of them is the IELTS Academic test, which I must upload to the National Examining Board (NEB). Guess what? My exam is tomorrow, and I haven’t studied anything yet! 😅 I don’t even know the full format of the test — but I’m staying positive and hoping to reach the required score anyway. I’ll tell you in the next episode whether I passed or not!
Now, let’s move to something more fun: today, we’re going to learn 50 simple and natural French sentences that you can use with friends and family in everyday life. These are expressions that make conversations sound warm, real, and authentic — just like native speakers use them.
👉 Here’s how to make the most of this episode:
Listen carefully and repeat after me.
Imagine yourself using these phrases in your real life — while talking to your friends, sending a message, or chatting over dinner.
Don’t rush! Repetition is the secret to fluency.
Some examples you’ll hear today:
🌞 Good morning! → Bonjour
☕ I need a coffee. → J’ai besoin d’un café.
🎬 Let’s watch a movie tonight. → Regardons un film ce soir.
❤️ I missed you! → Tu m’as manqué !
These sentences are perfect for anyone preparing for TEF Canada or TCF Canada, or simply for learners who want to sound more natural when speaking French.
💬 I’ve also created a Facebook page where you can join our community of French learners! You can share your opinions, learning strategies, and motivation with others who are on the same journey. Search for “Nos Parcours – Learn French Together” and join us!

Welcome to a new episode of “Repeat After Me” by Nos Parcours, where learning French becomes simple, fun, and truly practical! 🌿✨
In today’s episode, we’ll explore 50 essential French sentences you can use in any restaurant — whether you’re sitting in a cozy café in Montréal, a sunny terrace in Nice, or a small bistro in Paris.
Eating out is one of the best parts of travelling or living in a French-speaking country, but it can also feel intimidating when you don’t know how to order, ask for a table, or tell the waiter what you’d like. This episode is here to change that.
🗣️ How it works:
Each sentence is spoken first in English, then in French, and repeated twice so that you can listen carefully, repeat confidently, and improve your pronunciation and rhythm. These sentences are clear, natural, and exactly what native speakers use every day in real situations.
From saying “Une table pour deux, s’il vous plaît” to “L’addition, s’il vous plaît”, you’ll master how to:
Ask for a table or make a reservation
Order food and drinks naturally
Describe your preferences and allergies
Ask questions politely
Compliment the meal or service
Handle common moments like asking for the bill or ordering dessert
You’ll also learn the subtle phrases that make you sound polite, friendly, and confident — like “Est-ce qu’on peut s’asseoir à côté de la fenêtre ?” (Can we sit by the window?) or “C’était délicieux !” (It was delicious!).
🎯 Who is this episode for?
This lesson is perfect for:
Beginners who want to start speaking French right away
Travellers preparing for a trip to France or Canada
French learners who want to feel comfortable in everyday conversations
Anyone who wants to sound more natural when speaking
💡 Tip: Listen to this episode at least three times — once to understand, once to repeat, and once to reinforce your memory. Repetition is the key to progress!
As you repeat out loud, your pronunciation will become smoother, your confidence will grow, and these sentences will start coming to you automatically — like second nature.
✨ Examples you’ll hear today:
Is there a table available? → Vous avez une table de libre ?
Can I have it without onions, please? → Puis-je l’avoir sans oignons, s’il vous plaît ?
Still or sparkling water? → Plate ou gazeuse ?
The food was delicious! → La nourriture était délicieuse !
Have a nice evening! → Passez une bonne soirée !
These short, simple dialogues are the building blocks of real communication. Each phrase helps you sound more fluent and confident — not just memorizing words, but living the language.
🌸 Why this matters:
Learning French isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. When you can order your food, smile, and say a few words naturally, you’re not just learning a language; you’re opening doors to experiences, cultures, and people.
🎧 So, get comfortable, take a deep breath, and repeat after me!
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to handle any restaurant situation with ease and charm — from ordering your favourite dish to asking for dessert with confidence.
And don’t forget to subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you’re listening — so you won’t miss the next episode of Repeat After Me.
Because every word you learn brings you closer to speaking French naturally. Repeat After Me 🇨🇦

Bienvenue sur “Nos Parcours”, le podcast où je partage, sans filtre, mon chemin, mes défis et mes petites et grandes victoires dans l’apprentissage des langues et la vie à l’étranger. Préparez votre café, installez-vous confortablement… on commence tout de suite ! ☕️
Salut, salut, salut ! Moi, c’est Elnaz. Dans ce podcast, je raconte comment j’ai appris le français en un an — oui, de zéro à un niveau C1 — tout en reconstruisant ma vie au Canada. Mon histoire commence il y a deux ans, lorsque mon mari et moi sommes arrivés à Toronto. On venait de Turquie (mon mari est turc) et, avant cela, j’habitais en Iran. À mon arrivée, je parlais déjà trois langues : le turc, le persan et l’anglais. On est tombés amoureux de Toronto, et on a décidé d’y rester. Très vite, j’ai découvert Entrée Express : pour devenir résidente permanente, il faut des points… et en 2023, je n’en avais pas assez. Le levier le plus puissant pour moi ? Le français. Objectif : TEF Canada avec un B2 avancé (au minimum) dans les quatre compétences.
Sauf que je n’avais ni budget pour de longues formations, ni beaucoup de temps. Alors j’ai bricolé ma propre “école” : cours en ligne à 5 h du matin, podcasts dans les oreilles dès le petit-déjeuner, lectures numériques sur Kindle parce que c’était plus abordable. InnerFrench m’a accompagnée au quotidien, tout comme Radio-Canada (YouTube) et RFI. Côté livres, Le Petit Nicolas a été mon premier ami, suivi du Petit Prince. Passionnée par le développement personnel, j’ai lu Le Pouvoir du moment présent et L’Effet cumulé — parfaits selon moi à partir du niveau B2.
Après cinq mois, j’ai commencé à me sentir plus à l’aise pour parler et écrire. J’ai tenté le TEF Canada : CLB 8 en compréhension écrite et expression orale… mais seulement CLB 6 en expression écrite et compréhension orale. J’étais déçue et fière à la fois. Ces résultats m’ont montré que c’était possible. Alors j’ai redoublé d’efforts, surtout à l’écrit : plus de 200 lettres rédigées (oui, vraiment !), au moins quatre par jour. J’ai lu des articles sur Radio-Canada, Le Devoir, Le Figaro, Le Monde, TV5MONDE… Et un jour, c’est tombé : NCLC 9 en expression écrite. La preuve que la constance bat le talent quand le talent ne se montre pas.
Mais ma route n’a pas été linéaire. J’ai passé deux fois le TCF Canada et cinq fois le TEF Canada. Souvent, il ne me manquait qu’un seul point pour franchir la barre. Chaque session m’a coûté de l’énergie, du temps et de l’argent, mais surtout, chacune m’a appris à mieux me préparer : comprendre le format, choisir les bonnes ressources, s’entraîner intelligemment et accepter que l’expérience se construit en marchant.
Dans “Nos Parcours”, je vous donne tout ce que j’aurais aimé recevoir au début : des stratégies concrètes (écouter, lire, écrire, parler), des routines simples à répéter, des retours d’expérience honnêtes sur les examens (TEF/TCF), des idées d’outils accessibles, et surtout une bonne dose de motivation. On parlera du Canada, de la vie à Toronto, de l’immigration et de la façon de rester persévérant quand la montagne paraît trop haute. Parce que oui, j’ai eu des moments de doute, parfois des larmes, et l’impression d’avancer trop lentement… mais j’ai appris que la seule compétence indispensable, c’est la persévérance, même après les échecs.
Si vous préparez le TEF ou le TCF, si vous apprenez le français en autonomie, ou si vous rêvez d’une vie ailleurs, ce podcast est pour vous. Je souhaite que mon histoire devienne un raccourci pour la vôtre : moins d’essais ratés, plus de méthodes qui marchent, et un moral qui tient la route.
Envie d’un épisode sur une ressource précise, une routine type, ou un plan d’étude sur 30 jours ? Écrivez-moi : nosparcoursensemble@gmail.com. Merci de votre écoute, de vos messages et de votre confiance.
