I have been listening to Mathilde for quite some time now. I can’t tell that I am fluent but the podcast is very entertaining and easy to follow. The fact that each episode is short helps to memorize easier and not feel overwhelmed. Thanks Mathilde for such a nice work!

TheSodukoBoss · Jul 2026

Had six years of French in high school and college… now decades later… and this podcast is a very fun refresher course.

J. O.M. · Apr 2026

I love this podcast. I’m very new to learning French and Mathilde’s lessons have been a god send. She perfectly explains many different concepts in easy to understand ways that are really helpful. I am also using Duolingo and YouTube but I’d be lost without this podcast. Thank you Mathilde!

Jessie Pods · Jun 2025

This is a great way to learn French. I especially appreciate how she works on pronunciation and slows down complicated phrases for English-speaking ears!
