When learning a new language, finding entertainment that\u2019s similar to what you like in your native language can be a big motivation booster. I am a big fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, so when I found Le Petit Journal<\/em>, I was happy to have found what is more or less une version fran\u00e7aise d\u2019une des mes \u00e9missions pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es<\/strong> (a French version of one of my favourite shows).<\/p>\n

Les deux \u00e9missions partagent souvent des convictions politiques et le sens de l\u2019humour<\/strong> (the two shows often share poltical views and sense of humor), making l’\u00e9mission fran\u00e7aise<\/strong> (the French show) a fun way to stay up to date on what\u2019s happening in France. The host, Yann Barth\u00e8s, keeps things going with his commentaires dr\u00f4les<\/strong> (witty commentary) filling the show with jokes and a light hearted playfulness, but also leaving room to get serious for tough issues and interesting interviews.<\/p>\n

En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral<\/strong>, if you\u2019re a fan of The Daily Show, you\u2019ll enjoy Le Petit Journal<\/em>. After watching just a few episodes you\u2019ll surprise your French friends with your knowledge of French politics and French pop culture. The humor of Le Petit Journal<\/em> is not for everyone. It is often enfantin et immature<\/strong> (childish and immature) and can borderline on antagonistic mocking. Cependant<\/strong> (however), it’s all in good fun and everyone laughs.<\/p>\n

Test your French and see if you like the show yourself! Jettez un coup d\u2019oeil \u00e0<\/strong> (take a look at) a fun segment on Beyonce\u2019s album that came out in 2013:<\/p>\n
