The sequel to French: First Steps, spoken aloud: finir and vendre, faire, prendre and venir, the modals and savoir or connaître, your morning with je me lève, 24-hour times and dates, the weather and Météo-France's warning colors, the passé composé with avoir and with être, the imparfait, le, lui, y and en, both futures, plus cher and meilleur, and avoir mal à with the numbers to call in France: you tap the right train on a departures board, the nice day on a forecast, the cheapest fruit on a market board and the arrival time on a ticket, convert °C to °F, shop, see a doctor and buy a train ticket in three branching conversations, and hear, type and say French with your device's French voice.
