This is the podcast we never had and probably the reason why one of us still doesn’t speak German and the other one never really learned French. We’re a German–French duo who spend a lot of time talking about words. Not to teach vocabulary, but to understand what’s actually going on underneath.
This is not a language course.
And definitely not a “how to behave” guide.
It’s about:

Small town girl from Germany here! It’s rare for me to review anything on Apple Podcast but this is an exception. Love everything about it. Used to listen to it to fall asleep and caught myself binge listening the first 5 episodes fully awake😂
Love to learn more about France, the French people and also find it hilarious and interesting what Coline thinks about us Germans and how Alex is talking for all of us🫶🏻
Please keep going- you are onto something here and obviously people love it! Plea... more
I love the podcast it’s so funny! It just makes my day better! I am looking forward to a new Episode the whole week! Makes me happy every evening❣️
Yes! I asked how to comment! Thank you for being engaging and responding! Such an enlightening podcast. Hello from Las Vegas, Nevada!
I’m from the USA (state of Idaho). Lived in Germany for a total of eight years and I’ve learned SO much about the culture from Alex. Traveling to France I now understand the people a little better than I did previously. I look forward to listening every Monday to the latest episode. Thanks and keep it coming.
As a lover of the French & German languages, this podcast brings me so much joy and teaches me something new every time - look forward to each new episode!

A standout aspect is the transparent banter between bilingual co-hosts, as well as occasional guests or guests-like interludes that deepen cross-cultural understanding without becoming a how-to guide. The show likely appeals to people living between cultures, expatriates, and professionals navigating Europe's multilingual environment, with a habit of blending cultural insi... more
