French that speaks to you.

Salut, c'est Hugo! I created this podcast in 2017 when I was teaching at the French institute in Warsaw, Poland. My goal was to show my students that they could learn French naturally simply by listening to it. 30 million downloads later, I think we're onto something!

  • Best podcast for learning French

    I started at episode 1 and am going forward from there. Every episode is interesting and I’m understanding more and more. News podcasts are so depressing and others are too childlike, but every one of Hugo’s is interesting and engaging. Absolutely love it!

  • J’ai presque tout compris

    Vous parlez assez rapidement, mais je suis ravie de voir que je peux suivre tous que vous dites. En plus, je trouve le contenu intéressant, merci.En ce moment j’écoute vos bilans de l’année dernière où Hugo parle de Scooby Doo. Je vous laisse avec cette phrase importante: Et j'aurais réussi à m'en tirer si vous, les petits fouineurs, n'étiez pas là.

  • Thank you very much!

    Not sure the last time I rated my experience with anyone or provided feedback, but Inner French is absolutely amazing. I have spent a lot of time listening to or watching programs to help my French, and Inner French has been the best, in my opinion. Hugo’s awareness of our skill level, things we struggles with and support are unbelievable. I have been recommending the Podcast to everyone working to improve their French. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • InnerFrench is fantastic

    InnerFrench is a key missing piece for me in learning French. News, movies, shows were too fast for me to understand and I was not progressing. InnerFrench built up my listening comprehension and broke the logjam. I recommend it highly.
