# Édito A1, Unit 3: Lunch at a deli

**Language:** French  
**CEFR Level:** A1  

> Master ordering food by listening to Malik and Sandrine's conversation at a little deli in Nantes, which pairs with the themes of unit 3 of Édito A1. It may feel challenging at first, but by the end of this course you will be able to fully understand and participate.

**Setting:** A small deli in Nantes on a weekday lunchtime, with a cheese counter at the front and three tables at the back. Sandrine owns it and cooks one dish a day. Malik works in an office round the corner and comes in for the first time. They use vous with each other throughout, as shopkeepers and customers do.
