Depuis la rĂ©volution industrielle, on produit et on consomme de plus en plus. Ce nouveau mode de vie fait que les villes sont polluĂ©es, que la nature se dĂ©grade et que le climat chauffe. Aujourdâhui, on consomme mĂȘme plus que ce que la Terre peut produire. Selon les experts, si on ne change rien dâici Ă 2050, on ne va plus avoir assez de ressources pour vivre sur Terre. Ăa et beaucoup dâautres consĂ©quences graves font partie des prĂ©dictions.
Plusieurs gouvernements ont timidement commencĂ© Ă tirer la sonnette dâalarme et ont commencĂ© Ă changer certaines choses. Mais pour un vrai changement global, il faut que tous les gouvernements, toutes les entreprises et tous les citoyens, participent.
Alors, quâest-ce quâon peut faire, nous, pour sauver lâenvironnement? Il y a beaucoup de petites habitudes qui peuvent changer les choses. Par exemple: se dĂ©placer en vĂ©lo, utiliser moins de plastique, rĂ©utiliser ses habits, acheter de la nourriture naturelle et locale, manger moins de viande, et en gĂ©nĂ©ral consommer moins.
Enfin, il faut que tout le monde prenne au moins conscience du problĂšme. MĂȘme si beaucoup a Ă©tĂ© fait, il y a encore beaucoup Ă faire.
Vocabulary:
consommer = to consume
mĂȘme = even (or same)
assez = enough
grave = serious
prendre conscience = to become aware
encore = still (or again)
nourriture = food
Translation
Since the industrial revolution, we produce and consume more and more. This new way of life results in that cities are polluted, that nature is getting worse and that climate is warming up. Today, we consume even more than what the Earth can produce. According to experts, if we change nothing from now until 2050, we will not have enough resources to live on Earth. This and many other serious consequences are part of the predictions.
Many governments have shyly started to be alarmed and have started to change certain things. But for a truly global change, all the governments, all the companies and all the citizens need to participate.
So, what can we do to save the environment? There are a lot of little habits that can change things. For example: to commute by bike, to use less plastic, to reuse clothes, to buy natural and local food, to eat less meat, and in general consume less.Finally, everybody needs to become aware of the problem. Even if a lot has been done, there is still a lot to do.

transcript :
Le football est sans doute le sport le plus populaire de la planĂšte. Le monde entier le regarde et le joue. Câest probablement parce que câest un sport accessible Ă tous. Pour jouer, il faut seulement un ballon. Les plus grands joueurs de lâhistoire ont commencĂ© Ă jouer dans la rue et leurs familles Ă©taient modestes. GrĂące au foot, ils ont pu bien sĂ»r devenir trĂšs riche.
Chaque quatre ans, la FIFA (fĂ©dĂ©ration international de football association) organise la coupe du monde dans un pays et un continent diffĂ©rent. Chaque quatre ans, des centaines de milliers de personnes vont assister aux matchs de leur Ă©quipe nationale et dâautres millions de personnes les regardent Ă la tĂ©lĂ©vision.
La passion pour la compĂ©tition est immense. Les familles et les amis se rencontrent pour regarder les matchs ensemble et passer un bon moment. Malheureusement, il nây a quâun gagnant, donc beaucoup sont déçus. Mais pour lâĂ©quipe et le pays qui gagne, câest lâeuphorie totale. Tout le monde fait la fĂȘte, tout le monde est content et tout le monde danse et chante.En 2018, pour la deuxiĂšme fois aprĂšs 1998, donc vingt ans aprĂšs, câest la France qui a gagnĂ© la coupe du monde.
Vocabulary:
Sans doute = no doubt
Entier = whole
Accessible = accessible / affordable
Seulement = only

Translation :
Football is no doubt the most popular sport on the planet. The whole world watches and plays it. Itâs probably because it is a sport accessible to everyone. To play, you only need a ball. The best players in history have started to play in the streets and their families were modest. Thanks to football, they have been able to, of course, become very rich.
Every four years, the FIFA (international federation football association) organises the world cup in a different country and continent. Every four years, hundreds of thousands of people go to watch their teamâs games live and other millions of people watch it on television.
Passion for the competition is immense. Families and friends meet to watch games together and have a good time. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner, so many are disappointed. But for the team and the country that wins, itâs absolute euphoria. Everybody parties, everybody is happy and everybody dances and sings.
In 2018, for the second time after 1998, so 20 years later, it is France that has won the world cup.

Vocabulary:
mondialisation = globalisation
moins cher = cheaper
sâinstaller = to settle
Ă lâĂ©tranger = abroad
les gens = people
chose = thing
inconvénients = disadvantages
Transcript:
Avec la mondialisation et le dĂ©placement en avion devenu de plus en plus facile et de moins en moins cher, beaucoup plus de gens dĂ©cident de quitter leur pays et de sâinstaller Ă lâĂ©tranger. Ces gens sont gĂ©nĂ©ralement des professionnels qui cherchent de meilleures opportunitĂ©s, une meilleure qualitĂ© de vie et une sĂ©curitĂ© pour leurs enfants.
Souvent, prendre la dĂ©cision de partir est difficile parce quâon est trĂšs attachĂ© Ă notre pays natal. On aime notre famille, notre culture, notre langue, notre nourriture, et câest difficile de sâen sĂ©parer. Donc, en gĂ©nĂ©ral, ces immigrĂ©s forment des communautĂ©s dans leur nouveau pays pour se rencontrer et vivre comme chez eux. En consĂ©quence, la culture du nouveau pays se diversifie et sâenrichit.
Malheureusement, ces gens sont aussi souvent victimes de racisme et sâintĂ©grer dans la nouvelle sociĂ©tĂ© est difficile. Ăa nâaide pas que les gouvernements dans le monde tendent de plus en plus vers l'extrĂȘme droite et rejettent lâimmigration. Les Etats-Unis avec Trump, le Royaume-Uni avec le Brexit ou le BrĂ©sil avec Bolsonaro sont des exemples.Donc finalement, partir ou rester? Une chose est sĂ»re, il nây a pas de rĂ©ponse parfaite. Pour chaque dĂ©cision, il y a des avantages et des inconvĂ©nients.
Translation :
With globalisation et movement by plane becoming easier and easier and cheaper and cheaper, a lot more people decide to leave their country and settle abroad. These people are generally professionals that are looking for better opportunities, a better quality of life and safety for their kids.
Often, make the decision to leave is hard because we are very attached to our native country. We love our family, our culture, our language, our food, and itâs hard to separate from it. So, in general, these immigrants form communities in their new country to meet and live like at home. In consequence, the culture of the new country is diversified and enriched.
Unfortunately, these people are also often victims of racism and to integrate in the new society is hard. It doesnât help that governments in the world are tending more and more to the far right and reject immigration. The united states with Trump, the united kingdom with Brexit or Brazil with Bolsonaro are some examples.
So finally, to leave or to stay? One thing is certain, there is no perfect answer. For each decision, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Pour le premier podcast, j'ai choisi le sujet de créer sa propre entreprise.
Donc en fait pour avoir son propre projet, il faut avoir beaucoup de courage il faut ĂȘtre certain que c'est quelque chose qui va vous plaire. il faut savoir aussi qu'ĂȘtre entrepreneur, c'est difficile. Il faut ĂȘtre son propre manager, il faut travailler trĂšs dur et il faut avoir beaucoup de patience. Mais en mĂȘme temps, l'entrepreneuriat a beaucoup d'avantages, on peut dĂ©cider quand on travaille on peut dĂ©cider ce qu'on fait on peut prendre des vacances quand on le veut et bien sur, on est maitres de nous-mĂȘmes, ça veut dire que c'est nous qui dĂ©cidons.
L'autre avantage, c'est la flexibilitĂ©. Donc la raison pour laquelle j'aimerais dĂ©velopper mon projet en ligne, c'est pour ĂȘtre plus flexible, pour avoir des horaires qui me permettent de passer plus de temps avec ma famille.
Alors enfin l'entrepreneuriat, ce n'est pas pour tout le monde, mais j'ai envie de commencer et d'essayer. Peut-ĂȘtre que je vais trouver ma voie. Qui sait?
Here is the translation :
For my first podcast, I have chosen the topic of creating one's own company.
So actually, to have your own project, you have to have a lot of courage and you have to be certain that it is something that you will like. You have to know that to be an entrepreneur, it's difficile. You have to be your own manager, you have to work very hard and you have to have a lot of patience. But at the same time, entrepreneurship has a lot of advantages: We can decide when we work, we can decide what we do, we can take holidays when we want to, and of course, we are masters of ourselves, that means that it is we that decide.
The other advantage, it's flexibility. So the reason for which I would like to develop my online project, it is to be more flexible, to have a schedule that will allow me to spend more time with my family.
So finally, entrepreneurship, it's not for everybody, but I want to start and to try. Maybe I will find my path. Who knows?

Pourquoi on apprend des langues? A quoi ça sert? Quelques personnes disent que câest inutile dâapprendre une langue Ă©trangĂšre parce que tout le monde parle anglais. Ils disent aussi quâavec lâintelligence artificielle et la technologie avancĂ©e de traduction simplifiĂ©e, tout le monde pourra communiquer avec tout le monde sans problĂšme.
Moi, je pense quâapprendre une langue, câest bien plus quâune histoire de communication. La langue, câest la culture, câest lâidentitĂ© et câest la façon de penser. Apprendre une nouvelle langue, câest entrer dans un nouvel univers oĂč on a beaucoup Ă dĂ©couvrir et beaucoup Ă apprendre. On dit que parler une deuxiĂšme langue, câest avoir une vision diffĂ©rente de la vie.
En plus, parler une autre langue peut aider Ă trouver du travail plus facilement. Ca peut ouvrir des perspectives professionnelles Ă lâinternational. Par exemple, quand jâai cherchĂ© un travail en Allemagne il y a quatre ans, parler le français mâa donnĂ© un avantage sur les autres candidats.
La langue aide aussi Ă mieux voyager. Quand on connaĂźt la langue locale, notre expĂ©rience est plus intĂ©ressante parce quâon peut dĂ©couvrir plus de choses et rencontrer beaucoup de personnes intĂ©ressantes.Chacun a sa raison et sa motivation pour apprendre le français. Et toi, quelle est ta raison et quelle est ta motivation?
Translation :
Why do we learn languages? Whatâs the point? Some people say that itâs useless to learn a foreign language because everybody speaks English. They also say that with artificial intelligence and advanced simplified translation technology, everybody will be able to communicate with everybody without any problem.
Personally, I think that to learn a language, it is much more than for communication. Language is culture, identity and a way of thinking. To learn a new language is to enter in a new universe where you have a lot to discover and a lot to learn. We say that to speak a second language, itâs to have a different vision of life. Moreover, to speak another language can help to find work more easily. It can open international professional perspectives. For example, when I looked for a job in Germany four years ago, speak French gave me an advantage over the other candidates.
Language can also help to travel better. When we know the local language, our experience is much more interesting because we can discover more things and meet a lot of interesting people.
Each one has his/her reason and his/her motivation to learn French. And you, what is your reason and your motivation? -
