InnerFrench
innerFrenchFrench 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!
Granted, it's not a magic bullet. This method still requires hundreds of hours of practice. That's why... more

Apprendre une langue derrière un écran, c'est pratique. Mais il manque souvent un ingrédient essentiel : la rencontre en chair et en os, ces moments où l’on pratique la langue en vivant quelque chose ensemble.

Cet été, la France a connu des incendies dévastateurs et des canicules à répétition. Le changement climatique n'a jamais semblé aussi concret, aussi proche. Et pourtant, malgré l'ampleur de la catastrophe en cours, la plupart d'entre nous continue de... more

- Fantastic for beginners to intermediate
Brilliant voice, brilliant topics, perfect talking speed for beginners and intermediate French learners, some digressions where he explains the most difficult words he use, just a very well made podcast! I love listening to an episode once while trying to understand the most I can? And then listening to it again following the transcript to understand the bits that I didn’t grasp.

United Kingdom14 days ago - 天下没有不散的筵席
As a Chinese English teacher learning French, I’ve found innerFrench to be an invaluable companion on my language-learning journey. I particularly love Hugo’s clear pronunciation and phrasing, his engaging and thought-provoking topics, and the way he uses authentic French that is still accessible to learners around the B2 level. As a fellow language teacher, I can genuinely appreciate how much care, effort, and passion he has poured into this podcast. I’m sad to see it come to an end, but as we ... more

I studied abroad and lived in Paris for a couple of years 25 years ago and this podcast was the perfect re-entry point for me to brush up on my French comprehension without getting bored. The topics were interesting on their own and I listened as if it were any other podcast, but it just happened to be in French. Thank you so much!

This podcast is perfect for those of us who are not beginners but not at an advanced level.
Your podcast allows me to practice active listening while reading the transcript in French. I feel I’m making progress in ways that encourage me to practice everyday.
Merci!
Apple Podcasts3Zany in TXUnited Statesa month ago - Incredible Podcast
I’ve been studying French for four years now, and this podcast provides the bridge between weekly classes and daily French study. The topics are interesting, and the podcast is the perfect length to listen to several times. I’m sad that Hugo has decided to end the podcast after 200 episodes, but there’s so much to learn from with what he’s produced. As he advised, I started from the first episode and am very glad I did. Thank you, Hugo!
