Hello, dear friends! Thank you for joining me for this new episode of the Authentic French podcast. Today, we are going to study together an expression that is certainly not an expression that you will encounter every day, it is not an expression of everyday language, but you can really encounter it in a television news program, in a book, in a magazine, really in French content, French-speaking content. This expression is "le chant du cygne". It is a beautiful expression, I think, le chant du cygne. I will explain it to you or explain its meaning to you in a moment.
Before that, I want to remind you that you only have a few days left to join the Authentic French Academy . You often hear me talk about it even though it is closed 90% of the year, this academy, or at least registrations are closed 90% of the year. We do this because we want to have only a few registration phases and then we take the members by the hand to make them go through an integration process, to make sure that each member who joins us is a special member, or a member for whom we have time to show how the academy works. We really want to support each member.
And we wouldn't be able to do that if registrations were open all the time. That's why we serve our members all the time, from January 1st to December 31st at all hours of the day and night in all time zones. But on the other hand, as for registrations, it's only three, four times a year. Registrations are currently open until the 11th, so you have a few days left and they won't reopen this year.
So if you really want to take your French to vietnam whatsapp number datavietnam whatsapp number data the next level, have access to lots of exclusive content and also be able to practice every day as if you were in France, with the other members, with me, with the Authentic French team, with our French tutors, go right now, right now, take a look at the link in the description . Thank you for your trust. I really look forward to meeting you in person.
So what does this expression “swan song” mean?
A "song" is a succession of musical sounds emitted by the voice, it is a musical composition that we created to be sung, it is not a song that we wrote to be played on the guitar or the piano, it is really something that we created to be sung by the voice.
A "swan" is a large aquatic bird that is almost always, even if there are a few exceptions, almost always white. It is an animal that has a long, slightly flexible neck that is found in ponds, lakes, etc., sometimes on the banks of rivers. They are really large birds that are very, very pretty. We call them "swans".
