French Conversations with Nathalie Nathalie Danon

Talking all things "health" with Sophie, a French expat who lives on the outskirts of Oxford with her family.

Is the NHS better? It's totally free. Is the French health system better structured? Do the French receive better healthcare generally?

I ended up talking to Sophie for 40 minutes! So much to say.

I actually spent a fair bit of time asking Sophie about her move to the UK, her work etc... Before we moved on to the health system.

Another great, natural, animated conversation. 

Bonne écoute ! 

Today, I am speaking to Lola and Eloïse, two French students in their early twenties who've decided to study Communication and Business Management in France.

As part of their degrees and masters, they've chosen the UK to complete their internship and receive some valued work experience.

They share their experience with us, their views of a multi-cultural world and give us a very positive outlook on their cross-cultural experience! 

Enjoy. 

Join Sophie, Valérie and myself, this time discussing all things family and romantic relationships between the French and the Brits! 

What's different? Are there any clashes due to our differences in... language and communication - Our cultural past is not the same. Is that an issue?

Was moving to the UK a sacrifice for our loved one or an opportunity? 

Is it okay to sit together for lunch and have cheese on toast?! 

Join me, Marina and Sandrine, three expats exposing our views on the differences between the workplace in France and in the UK. 

Productivity, working hours, benefits, employees' well-being... 

Is there a country where we'd rather be working?! 

Please join Laure, Jana and I for a very interesting conversation comparing both education systems! 

This podcast lasts a little longer than usual as we had SO much to say! 

Laure studied and qualified as an English teacher in France. She then moved to the UK where she now teaches French as a Foreign Languages and both her daughters aged 3 and 5 are going through the English education system.

Jana became an expat when she decided to move to London from Marseille to study for a business degree.

What are their views on both education systems? 

Join Anne-Claire and Cécile, two French expats who've lived in different parts of the UK for the last 3 and 30 years. 

What were the reasons that made them move to the UK?

What is the main benefit of their life in the UK?

Do they miss France?! 

Their experience, thoughts, feelings... All wrapped up into a 20-min podcast!
