What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love that there are no ads in the podcast, and that they don’t have word-for-word English translations or vocabulary lists, which, in my opinion, are unhelpful. I do wish that you had them in more languages than French and Spanish, because, as a hyperpolyglot-in-training, I find it quite frustrating that there are no ad-free ways to practice Irish, or Finnish, or Russian, or- you get the idea. Regardless, the ones that exist are so fascinating that one can almost forget about the fact that they’re in more than one language (even if they, like me, have only taken, like, six weeks of middle school French).

Beyond learning French, these stories are interesting and heartwarming. There is so much thought put into the production of these episodes. One of my favorite podcasts ever.

tiagomoreno · Jun 2025

For everyone who wants to be fluent in French, you need this. It is awesome with fun stories and interesting facts along with helpful French tips. You will be fluent if you are both doing your Duolingo, speaking French, and listening to this. ✨

I literally started from episode 1 and binge every night. I never want it to end. The stories are so good. It’s not depressing, it’s real life and they usually have a happy ending. And really helps me learn. I’m so grateful I randomly came across this one and noticed they only have French and Spanish. I really hope more is added this year.
