In France, there are a lot of beaches. You probably already heard of Saint-Tropez, Biarritz or Saint-Malo. If you go there especially in summer, it will be useful for you to have some vocabulary and have a knowledge of basic sentences. Here is a podcast taking place at the beach with a discussion between two people. To get more information on how to remember vocabulary efficiently and easily, here is my article “How to easily memorize French vocabulary“, you can take a look at it!
