|  Today we relax in a Parisian cafe, thanks to Camille Brodard. | | | Bonjour Embark on a delightful journey as we explore French language and culture together! This week, we'll share a hilarious joke ('Une maman citron dit à ses enfants: Pour vivre longtemps, il ne faut jamais être pressé!') and introduce new words like étape, résolutions, session, chambre, and sujet. |

étape The word 'étape' in French refers to a 'step' in English. It is typically used in similar contexts as English, referring to a stage or segment in a process or sequence. For example, 'Chaque étape du voyage était excitante' would translate to 'Every step of the journey was exciting' in English. Here's how to use it: Nous avons atteint une étape importante dans notre investigation. C'est une étape requise pour obtenir votre diplôme. Nous sommes dans la dernière étape de la conception du produit.

résolutions The French word 'résolutions' can be used in a similar context to the English word 'resolutions'. It refers to decisions or determinations; firm decisions to do or not to do something. It is commonly used when talking about New Year's resolutions, which are 'les résolutions du Nouvel An' in French. Here's how to use it: Il est difficile de tenir ses résolutions. Je ne suis pas bon à garder des résolutions. Il a fait plusieurs résolutions pour améliorer sa santé.

session The word 'session' is translated as 'séance' in French. This can be used in various contexts such as 'session of Parliament' (Séance du Parlement), 'therapy session' (séance de thérapie), etc. In French, it is used to denote a meeting, a session or a period devoted to a particular activity. Here's how to use it: Je vais à la session de yoga ce soir. La session de formation a été reportée. Le prix des billets varie de session en session.

chambre The French word for 'room' is 'chambre'. It is often used in the same context as in English. It refers to a part of the structure in a building which is enclosed and usually has a door, such as a bedroom (chambre à coucher), living room (salle de séjour) or dining room (salle à manger). Note that 'chambre' is feminine, so it would be 'la chambre' in definite form. Here's how to use it: Je dois nettoyer ma chambre. Elle a peint sa chambre en bleu. J'aime la décoration de votre chambre.

sujet The French equivalent for the English word 'subject' is 'sujet'. This word is used in similar contexts as in English, for example in grammar to denote the topic of a sentence, or to refer to a area of study or interest. Additionally, 'sujet' can also be used to refer to a person in certain contexts, specifically when discussing subjects of a ruler or nation. Here's how to use it: Mon sujet préféré à l'école est la biologie. Le documentaire soulève des questions complexes sur le sujet de la pauvreté. Nous devons changer de sujet pour éviter les conflits.
