Dictionnaire

Zadig. Hero of a 1748 tale by Voltaire, who suffers disaster and renewed fortune, and raises the question of the inscrutable ways of Providence.

zèle "zeal." fait pas de zèle "don't overdo it."

Our final advice to viewers is precisely the above. Don't do things merely to do them. Don't show off your knowledge of all the irregular verbs in French. Learn what you have to, and then go on to something else. Your time is too valuable to waste on expertise.
