I’ve listened (often multiple times) to nearly all the episodes. And I love them ! When I go back to the early episodes I realize just how much progress I have made in my listening comprehension and I’m so much more confident in my speaking.

J’ai commencer à écouter le podcast InnerFrench il y a deux mois et je l’adore!
Toutes les épisodes ont été interessantes et j’ai appris beaucoup. Comme ils suggèrent, on peut comprendre plus qu’on avait imaginé.
J’apprécie les sujets variés et également les voix différentes, qui sont très utile pour augmenter mon niveau.
Merci Hugo et Ingrid, bonne année et j’ai hâte d’écouter des nouvelles épisodes bientôt.
