  • Frédéric,

    J’aime bien toutes vos listes! Elles sont super pratiques! Vous devriez créer une liste de vocabulaire qui pourrait être utile pour un rendez-vous chez le coiffeur. Quand j’habitais en France j’avais toujours peur d’aller faire couper mes cheveux parce que je ne savais pas quoi dire exactement en français. Pendant dix mois, je n’y est jamais allée. J’ai attendu la rentrée aux States. mdr.

    Je vous remercie!
