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 I'm doing my best to make these episodes as engaging as possible. I want you to get sucked into the topics so deep you forget that you're "learning French". You'll quickly realize that you're capable of understanding a lot more French than you think. The episodes get progressively more challenging, so I'd recommend starting from the oldest ones and working your way up. From episode 92, I'm joined by Ingrid, a French journalist and teacher, for more conversational style episodes.

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 much for making this podcast!
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
