In this episode, Gaelle explains the more subtle ways to translate the adverbs “assez” and “bien”.

Listen to this episode to understand what French people mean when they say “elle a l’air assez sympa” or “il a bien raison”.

In this episode, Gaelle explains how to pronounce the little word “plus” - which annoyingly can be pronounced 3 different ways: [plu], [pluS] or [pluZ]. You probably won’t be able to say it correctly straight away, but at least you will know the rules behind it.

Customer Reviews
Incroyable
These episodes are excellent and have helped my learning French so much. Gaelle is the best tutor with a clear voice and presenting a great range of interesting topics. Listen and learn mes amis.
Excellent
This is the perfect podcast for elevating intermediate French. Gaelle has such a clear voice and engaging manner, and drops in just enough English prompts to keep it moving. The normal-paced recaps are a great touch and the subjects are a good insight into French life. Listening to these was an epiphany - the first time I could listen to French and understand almost everything. Thank you!
Brilliant!
Just discovered this podcast. It’s very clear and a helpful slower speed to boost one’s confidence, then to listen again and follow with the moving transcript for checking areas which were uncertain. Great idea! And it’s nice to hear everyday conversation, without too many rules to bombard you concerning grammar and distract you, I’m looking forward to hearing more of them. I am upper intermediate but i think this is really going to boost my fluency hugely…. !
