Lesson Introduction
When a globe-trotting relation gives us a call, the first question we usually want to ask is, where are you? If it's a child we haven't spoken to in awhile, it is, unfortunately, probably because they need something and we'll have to ask them that, too. Maybe saying it in French could make them feel more ashamed for calling the folks with ulterior motives. In today's podcast, we have a lesson on how to talk about needs in French and also learn how to ask someone where they are.

Aaaah, une leçon très utile. Tout le monde a besoin d'argent, non? Evidemment, j'en ai... toutes les temps.
Quand les enfants donnent un coup de fil d'un endroit étrangère, c'est toujours parce qu'ils ont besoin d'argent. Si non, c'est sur qu'ils soient dans l'ennui. Qu'est-ce que vous prefereriez?

L´amour et l´argent sont les deux choses qui font bouger le monde (et l`histoire) ! :-)

Bonne chance, Eruworld. Si tu as besoin d'argent, then I hope that you get some real fast!
Yes, pinkjeans, I suppose that both scenarios are unpleasant but I guess it would be better for a child to call because il ou elle a besoin d'argent then because they are in trouble!
So true, Monica, l'amour and l'argent...what makes the world (and history, as you said) go round...
