"Orientation" is the first episode of French in Action, used as an introduction to the creation, components and functioning of the series.
Tropes in this episode:
- Maurice Chevalier Accent: Ironically averted with Pierre Capretz (in his only English-language appearance in French in Action); it could be considered more a literal take on a mid-Atlantic accent when he spoke English.
- Standalone Episode / Welcome Episode: This is the only episode to be presented in English, purely as an introduction to how the episodes of French in Action function.
