These podcasts are so well done. I took French from 4th-12th grade and a year in college but that was 40 years ago. I listened to all the seasons and that has really helped me to brush up on my French, which was helpful when we vacationed in France and Quebec. I loved the stories and format. The magazine series was interesting and the more recent series have been very helpful as well. I love how clearly everything is explained in all the seasons. 10/10
I use this podcast before all my travels to learn the basics. Far better than Duolingo. The French lessons were invaluable and gave me more confidence when traveling Paris.
I like the podcast but I wanted to have the verb fix addition as well and now it’s mixed I with the coffee break French podcast with no way to separate the two. So now you are listening and then the next episode is verb fix. This is not useful. They should be two separate shows. Needs fixing.
This podcast has helped me so much with my pronunciation and memorization. It’s perfect to listen to on my way to work and has saved me from a lot of silly mistakes (like avoir vs être). Merci beaucoup!!
