Max tells the story of day one from Team Blue's side, in a short French text written for learners. We read it through, talk about the language in it, then read it again, so by the end you'll understand every word.

Max uses "on" rather than "nous" all the way through, which is how most French speakers say "we" in everyday conversation. There are a couple of phrases worth taking on your own travels too, like "avoir hâte de" and "rattraper son retard".
