“Je ne fumerai plus” becomes “I don’t smoke anymore,” while “je bois plus de vin” means more wine.

1. Learn Basic French Podcast focuses on “Les résolutions de la nouvelle année 2026” as a French A2 lesson. 2. The teacher leads Bachak, Robine, Émilie, and Ilse, and their answers matter because they supply the holiday stories and resolution examples. 3. The episode exists to practice how to say what you will do in 2026 and how to describe resolutions in French. 4. Bachak says he spent two days with family, ate together, and celebrated during the holidays. 5. Robine says she went to the mountains in Caroline du Nôtre, found it “très magnifique,” and noted there was no snow. 6. Émilie says she decorated the tree, put the gifts under it, and ate chicken, vegetables, and “grandes degrés.” 7. Ilse says she worked all holidays because her work is in restaurants and accidents, and she says she was busy “24-7.” 8. The teacher introduces “resolution” as the word for “something we are going to do this year” and links it to 2026. 9. The class reads the lesson title “Les résolutions de la nouvelle année” and the instruction “Réviser la liste des résolutions.” 10. Students practice expressions such as “Moi aussi, je vais…” and “Cette résolution me correspond,” along with “Cette résolution ne me correspond pas.” 11. The teacher uses “Moi aussi, je veux faire plus de sport” as a model for speaking about personal goals. 12. The lesson separates “plus” with the S from “plus” without the S, using the contrast between “je bois plus de vin” and “je ne bois plus de vin.” 13. The teacher repeats that the S matters because one form means “more” and the other means “not anymore.” 14. The class practices “je vais faire du ménage,” “je vais me maquiller,” “je vais me coucher plus tôt,” and “je vais me réveiller à 8 heures.” 15. Students also practice “je ne ferai plus de temps,” “je ne fumerai plus,” and “je n’irai pas à la montagne cet hiver.” 16. The teacher asks students to change one or two words in a sentence to make a new resolution, like “je vais faire du sport” or “je vais prendre le temps de voyager.” 17. The tone is instructional and repetitive, with frequent correction and immediate reformulation of student answers. 18. The format mixes whole-group drill, pair practice, and brief English explanations for grammar points. 19. Listeners who want A2 French practice with resolutions and grammar drills will benefit. 20. Listeners wanting fast entertainment without language instruction may skip it.
