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

Après 9 ans d'existence, c'est la fin du podcast innerFrench.
Hugo et Ingrid vous expliquent les raisons de cette décision, avant de se remémorer leurs meilleurs moments derrière le micro.
Un grand merci à vous, chers auditeurs et auditrices, pour ... 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.
Grâce à ses nombreux voyages, Ingrid a ... more
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
L'amour, le couple et la famille ont toujours été considérés comme plus essentiels que l'amitié. On la considère souvent comme un plaisir de jeunesse qui doit passer au second plan à l'âge adulte pour se focaliser sur sa carrière et sa famille.

Merci pour tous vos travaux pendant les années. J'était un auditeur fidel depuis le début. Ça a été triste d'avoir entendu que d'autres auditeurs se plaignaient du contenu ou du niveau de difficultés. J'ai bien recommendé votre podcast à tous mes amis francophiles. Vous allez nous manquer!
Encore, merci beaucoup!
I learned French many years ago in high school and I am relearning the language. I am currently at the B1 level and have primarily been using Duolingo and occasionally talking with a friend who is fluent. There really is no substitute for listening consistently to a language, though, and that’s when my search for a podcast began. Inner French is great for intermediate speakers, and it’s also interesting and fun. It’s been the missing piece that I needed for my aural comprehension. Thank you so ... more
I started listening to this podcast to improve my French but I quickly became genuinely interested in the topics being discussed. I’m sad to see it ending, but luckily there are still plenty of older episodes for me to enjoy. Thank you for all the great content!
This is my go to source for listening/learning. Hugo creates interesting articles and his French is clear, distinct, and at just the right speed for an intermediate learner.
Bonjour Hugo et Ingrid,
Merci Mille fois pour tous.
Vous me me manquerez.
Bonne continuation, Robert
Je vous suis depuis longtemps et j’ai vraiment adoré votre podcast. C’était tellement agréable à écouter, et pour moi, c’était vraiment l’un des meilleurs podcasts en français. C’est dommage que vous ayez arrêté, mais je comprends tout à fait.
