Oh là là, on a raté l’éclipse ! Oh là là, We Missed the Eclipse !

Dieppe, jour de marché (Back to Our Favorite Market) - Lundi 24 août 2026

Samedi, 8 heures du matin : direction Dieppe, avec Felicia, Lisa et Pietro. Le grand marché du samedi, les commerçants qu'on retrouve avec plaisir, une librairie pleine de souvenirs... Cet épisode, c'est le début d’une journée entière passée à Dieppe, "comme avant". This episode drops you into a real Saturday morning at one of Normandy's largest outdoor markets : vendors calling regular customers by name, a bookshop conversation. It's designed for learners who want to hear French exactly as it's spoken in daily life. The vocabulary itself sits comfortably in the B1–B2 range — market produce, everyday shopping exchanges, simple past-tense storytelling. But the real value for more advanced listeners (B2–C1) is in the natural rhythm of spontaneous speech: overlapping remarks, a stranger's aside about being hungry, a bookseller's offhand comment about unusually large summer crowds — the kind of implicit, unscripted texture that only comes from real conversation.

Oh là là, on a raté l’éclipse ! Oh là là, We Missed the Eclipse !

La reprise ! Après l'Italie, retour à Paris. Je pensais avoir eu une bonne idée pour voir l'éclipse. Mais parfois, on a des surprises.   Back from summer vacation with a plan that seemed perfect: catch the August 12 solar eclipse from an unusual spot in Paris, avoid the crowds, get free glasses. It didn't go as planned. This episode is a real, unscripted family story. Along the way: a dinner in the Italian countryside the week before, a very opinionated pigeon, and a live TV report that somehow makes the whole thing even better. This season, subscribers get more than a transcript — a podcast letter with every episode: a question to think about before pressing play, cultural markers to go deeper into the episode, natural turns of phrase to notice and copy, and a comprehension question for after you've listened. A relaxed, natural way to keep improving your French. D'autres épisodes à écouter aujourd'hui : 1451 — Bonne année !

Le clafoutis aux abricots (les ep du 90) How Much Sugar, Exactly?

Pour clore cette série de l’été, retour en 2020 pour un clafoutis aux abricots en famille — un épisode aussi doux et sucré que celui qui a lancé « les épisodes du 90″. Le 90 se cache dans une mesure, aujourd’hui — tendez bien l’oreille une dernière fois ! The perfect way to close this summer series: baking an apricot clafoutis with my daughters, multiplying a recipe, borrowing a pitter from a neighbor, and slowly getting ready for summer vacation. It’s a warm, everyday moment – kitchen vocabulary, family bickering over fruit in the batter, and one particularly tricky little question to say out loud with just the right intonation. This final episode brings the ‘épisodes du 90’ series full circle, echoing the very first rebroadcast that started it all. 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 tricky little phrase worth practicing for its intonation alone, 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.
