THE FRENCH TRANSCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Hi everyone,

Welcome to “Learn French, Become Français” with Ruben! Welcome, almost-French . Before we begin, I want to thank all my listeners. Thank you!

The transcript for this episode is in the description.

In this episode, we're going to talk about CARPOOLING.

First of all, what is carpooling? I'll try to explain it to you, and then I'll give you the English translation.

Carpooling is a means of transportation, like biking, trains, planes, and subways.

Do you know any words in carpooling?

Yes! That's right! Car!

Maybe carpooling is a special French car? No, haha!

I'll explain:

Gerald has a car and wants to go to Paris, but he doesn't want to pay for gas (fuel), so he decides to carpool with other people.

Other people will get in his car to go to Paris. These people, these new passengers, will pay for the gas. Gerald will drive and go to Paris for free, and the passengers will only pay for the gas to get to Paris.

In English, carpooling is called “carpooling.”

Today I'm going to talk to you about carpooling.

Ready? Let's go!

I'll tell you all about it slowly the first time.

Then I'll explain the sentences one by one.

I think I've carpooled three or four times already. When I travel in France, I really like taking the train. It's fast and comfortable, even if it is a little expensive.

But sometimes there are no trains to my destination, or they're too expensive.
