In this episode, Gaelle explains the more subtle ways to translate the adverbs “assez” and “bien”. Commonly understood as “enough” and “well”, they in fact have more meanings than that, which can sometimes lead to confusion. Listen to this episode to understand what French people mean when they say “elle a l’air assez sympa” or “il a bien raison”.

Perfect!!
This is brilliant, and exactly what I needed!
I can understand almost everything Gaëlle says, which helps my confidence enormously!
I was struggling to keep up with full-speed French, which slowed my progress and left me feeling discouraged, but listening to this is so easy, and she speaks about really interesting topics, so I never get bored.
Thank you so much, Gaëlle - you are doing a wonderful thing! :D

One of the best intermediate French podcasts
This is one of the best intermediate French podcasts that I have found. I’ve been listening to it for over a year now. The episodes are interesting varied, and the transcription is always super helpful. Gaëlle is a wonderful host, she speaks clearly and translates, keywords from time to time, striking the right balance, and not interrupting the flower French too much. Well done Gaëlle and thank you.
Merci beaucoup et bonne chance
Bonjour Gäelle, je suis heureuse de retrouver votre podcast et je le profite énormément. Je suis impatiente d’attendre l’épisode à venir. Je vous souhaite bonne chance pour l’accouchement du bébé et prenez bien soins de vous. Bisous
