J’aime😍

I love this podcast. As a young Duo learner, I love the language I am learning and always long for more ways to learn. This helps me with French so much as I work my way to being fluent. It is just what you need, to any other learners reading this. So get it NOW!

Well-put together

As an intermediate French learner, it is nice to actually be able to follow along to this podcast. They speak at a slower pace so you can process the words, unlike watching an authentically French movie. Interesting and light-hearted topics. Good production quality, the narrator is pleasant to listen to as well.
