Great podcast
It is a good podcast
Great additional resource for the app
I’ve been using the Duolingo app now for a few months to learn French (as of writing), and this has been a great podcast to help improve my French listening, as well as a podcast for some really interesting stories.
The format is great as English supports the intermediate French spoken and it’s easy to dip into any season.
Great podcast
Excellent for learning but also some fascinating and moving stories from round the world. Thank you!
