🗼 A2 Dialogue — Two Americans living in Paris
Focus: daily life abroad, routines, feelings, and future plans.
Hey, Jake. How was your day in Paris?
Busy, but good. I had French class in the morning, then I went to work.
Are you still working at that small design studio?
Yes. The team is nice, but meetings are hard. They speak fast, and I miss some words.
Same. At my café, customers talk quickly, and they use slang. Sometimes I just smile.
At least your French is improving. Mine is slow.
It’s getting better. I practice every day. I write new words in my phone.
Do you feel more at home now?
A little. At first, I felt lonely. I missed my family and my friends. But now I have a routine.
Me too. I like walking by the river after work. It helps me relax.
I love that. Paris is beautiful, but it can be stressful. The metro is always crowded.
Yeah, and the rent is expensive. Our apartment is small, but the location is great.
True. And I really enjoy the food here. The bread and cheese are amazing.
Also, weekends are fun. Museums, parks, little markets… It feels like a movie sometimes.
Do you think you will stay another year?
Maybe. If my job goes well, I’d like to stay. What about you?
I want to stay too, but I need a better job. I’m looking for something in tourism.
You’ll find it. Your French is strong, and you’re good with people.
Thanks. Let’s keep trying. Paris is hard, but it’s worth it.
