Learn French by living Rose’s life with her. The French Ritual is a French-learning podcast that blends immersive audio fiction with language learning. Follow a 24-year-old American who moves to Paris without speaking French and learn alongside her through cinematic sound design, character-driven storytelling, everyday conversations, repetition, sound-alike mnemonics, food and Rose’s nightly diary. As Rose’s French improves, so does yours. It feels more like stepping into a Parisian audio drama than taking French lessons. www.thefrenchritual.com Hosted on Acast.

    Ep 08: How to Describe Anything in French (Story)

    GET THE TRANSCRIPT In this episode, you'll learn three ways to say "I see" in French — je vois, il y a, c'est — plus position words like sur (on), sous (under), and à côté de (next to), so you can describe any scene in full sentences like "le livre est sur la table." You'll also pick up real cafe French for ordering a coffee à emporter, and a memory trick for nearly every new word, so the vocabulary actually sticks. Hosted on Acast.
