BB&CC. ,

Merci beaucoup Gaëlle!!

La semaine dernière, j’ai découvert que j’avais réussi mon examen B1 DELF, principalement grâce à ce podcast! Je prends des cours de français depuis un an et demi, en février, dès que j’ai commencé mes cours de B1, j’ai découvert ce podcast et j’en suis un auditeur depuis. Cela m’a vraiment aidé à relier mes cours A1 et A2.

Super interesting

Je vous remercie beaucoup pour ce podcast et cet épisode sur de Beauvoir. Depuis beaucoup d'années je n'en avais pensé de cette époque et ses idées. Merci!

Aussi votre épisode qui s'agit du cannabis. C'est super intéressant.

Interesting topics, well produced, easy to understand

This is an excellent podcast for lower intermediate French learners. Gaëlle speaks very clearly and does a great job of pointing out relevant vocabulary, repeating certain key phrases or words and inserting funny asides from time to time. I especially like when she does a quick summary of the podcast at ‘regular speed’ French. I’m not sure who picks the topics but they are almost always interesting and often give the listener a little insight into French culture.
