FYW 119 : “Là-dessus”, “juste dessus” - a podcast by Jessica: Native French teacher, founder of French Your Way

Ann would like me to explain how to use adverbs such as "là-dessus", "là-devant", etc. She also asked me about expressions like "juste devant". This is a great opportunity for me to clarify the difference between prepositions and adverbs when we refer to a location and to help you with the structure of your sentence and translation.
