Expatlang - Understand Native French

Welcome to Episode 6 of Expatlang's new French podast - Understand Native French.

In today's episode - BODY IMAGE

Generally speaking, people don't want to be too fat or too skinny, and for this everyone has their own vision of things. Some people spend 2 hours a day doing sport, while other will have a strict control of their food habits. 

We all have a very personal vision of our body image. We may think we're too fat or too thin while actually we aren't. Indeed, our vision is often influenced by the one displayed in magazines and by influencers on social networks. 

In this episode, a sports coach tells me everything about how the French picture their body. If you want to find out more about this, listen to today's episode.

In today's episode - FRENCH IN CAMEROON 

Welcome to Episode 5 of Expatlang's new French podast - Understand Native French. 

In today's episode - FRENCH IN CAMEROON.

French is the language of France but not only. It's also spoken on several continents : America, Oceania and of course, Africa. In each of these countries, the uses of the French language are different and the expressions used in a country are not necessarily understood in others.

Today, you'll hear a conversation I've had with Moïse. He's Cameroonian and he'll tell us everything about the status of the French language in Cameroon. What's on the programme ? Music, education and love relationships.

Moïse has a Cameroonian accent and speaks quite fast, but it shouldn't be too hard to understand him. If you need any help, use the transcript that's available for download on www.expatlang.com.

If you want to listen to the Cameroonian song "Jusqu'à la gare" click on the following links :

Welcome to Episode 4 of Expatlang's new French podast - Understand Native French. In today's episode, Mathilde will tell you everything about everything you need to know about the celebration of Christmas on the Caribbean Island of Martinique. For some of us, Christmas means winter, snow and cosy evenings facing the fire place with a warm cocoa. But in Martinique, a tropical island, you can forget about it. What's on the menu ? Cocktails on the beach, delicious tropical fruit and vegetables and never-ending dance sessions. 

Mathilde has a pretty standard French accent mixed with a tiny bit of Creole and you'll just love what she has to tell you.

Are you learning French ? Are you looking for a good French podcast for learning ? Then I'm very proud to introduce a new French podcast - Expatlang's Understand Native French.   

Spoken French is generally very different from standard French taught in schools and language classes. Native French speakers' grammar and pronunciation is slightly different and is generally pronounced at a faster pace. This can be misleading for French students who believe they don't have the right level to understand films and series. The truth is, we could consider that spoken French is a different language that has to be learnt separately. 

This is the content of today's episode :   

The best way to benefit from French podcasts for learning French is to actively work on the recordings. I've thought about it and I've prepared the transcript and the translation of each episode of the podcast on my website. 

And if you don't know how to start working on the best resources to learn French for free (because this new French podcast is 100% free^^) you can use this video I created. It contains a full guide on how to improve French listening skills. Click here to watch it.  

Expatlang isn't only a podcast. It's also a website, a YouTube channel, a blog, an online school and tons of posts on various social networks (Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram).
