Un super week-end de compétition (les ep du 90) What a Judge Really Told Me

Où trouver les meilleurs débardeurs blancs ? (Les ep du 90) Shopping Debate on a Bus Ride

Dans ce neuvième épisode de la série de l’été, je vous embarque dans le bus 21 un samedi après-midi, où trois jeunes femmes discutent shopping juste derrière moi. Débardeurs blancs, marques, prix… et le 90 se cache dans un détail que vous ne verrez peut-être pas venir ! A slice of real, overheard French – three young women chatting on a Paris bus about clothes, brands, and where to find the perfect white tank top. This episode is pure eavesdropping gold: casual, fast, opinionated French exactly as it’s spoken between friends, packed with brand names, slang, and the kind of price-and-quality debate every shopper recognizes. There’s also an unexpected literary echo tucked into the story – a classic short story that suddenly comes to mind while listening in. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with every episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, casual expressions worth noticing on a close relisten, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve heard the whole story. A different way to make progress in French.

Un super week-end de compétition (les ep du 90) What a Judge Really Told Me

Dans ce huitième épisode de la série de l’été, retour de compétition avec Micaela : mains nues, épée, deux médailles d’argent, et un juge qui décortique chaque faute au degré près. Le 90 est ici bien réel : c’est l’angle exact que doit former l’épée avec le poignet — et c’est aussi le nom de l’enchaînement qui a donné son titre à toute cette série ! A real weekend of kung-fu competition, told right after crossing the finish line – medals, mixed feelings about a mistake at the end, and a genuinely fascinating moment: sitting down with a judge who explains, move by move, exactly what she scored and why. It’s a rare, precise glimpse into competitive martial arts vocabulary, wrapped in a very human, very tired post-competition voice. There’s also a nice full-circle moment here: the routine at the center of this episode is the same ‘90’ sequence that inspired this entire summer series. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, a technical passage worth practicing out loud for its rhythm, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve heard the whole story.

Conte de printemps (Les ep. du 90) Arguing About Cinema, French-Style

Dans ce septième épisode de la série de l’été, direction 2023 pour une soirée pizza-ciné en famille — cette fois avec un film d’Éric Rohmer, Conte de printemps. Le 90 se cache quelque part dans cet épisode — saurez-vous le débusquer ? A Saturday night pizza tradition, a family film club, and a lively debate between a mother and her teenage daughters over an Éric Rohmer classic. This episode captures something wonderfully real: how a French family actually talks about a movie together – the reactions, the disagreements, the running commentary. Along the way, there’s a glimpse into an older, slower version of France – landline phones, a very different school grading culture, and a snapshot of everyday Parisian life that feels both familiar and gently out of time. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, natural turns of phrase to notice on a close relisten, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve heard the whole story.

A real, unscripted visit to the house where Balzac once lived in hiding from his creditors – a hidden garden tucked into the 16th arrondissement, with an unexpected view of the Eiffel Tower. Pauline and I wander through, talking about the writer, his sprawling body of work, and what it felt like to spend a morning somewhere that feels like the countryside in the middle of Paris.

David Foenkinos, Numéro deux (ep du 90) Interview With a French Bestselling Author

Dans ce cinquième épisode de la série de l’été, je vous emmène à la librairie Mots en marge pour une interview avec l’écrivain David Foenkinos, à propos de son roman Numéro deux (Editions Gallimard). Le 90 se cache dans notre échange — tendez bien l’oreille ! A real conversation with David Foenkinos, one of France’s most popular contemporary novelists, recorded at a Paris bookshop. We talk about his novel Numéro deux, tthe strange true story that inspired it, and a trip back to a very different Paris. Because Foenkinos is a writer, he expresses himself with unusual clarity – this is spontaneous, unscripted French, but easier to follow than most everyday conversation, making it a great entry point into real interviews. This summer, no pen, no notebook – just listening and speaking. Subscribers receive a podcast letter with this episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, a line from the interview worth repeating out loud for its rhythm alone, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve listened all the way through.
