When it comes to language learning listening to authentic content from native speakers can't be overemphasised enough! It's extremely important to get some content in through listening and this could be particularly difficult for beginners but what if there was finally a 'magic formula'? In this episode, I talked about to build the habit of active listening as a beginner and how powerful it could be in the long run! This episode was inspired by Olly Richard's podcast the I Will Teach You A Language Podcast, Link below:

This allowed me to learn a lot personally and it's an episode I really enjoyed making, you could probably tell from my voice!!!

In any case, I hope you love it too and I hope you learn something new about the French language and culture!

Today, I talked to popular French teacher and coach Alex (frenchinplainsight on Instagram), and we discussed expressions which you can use in your daily life to sound more French!

Alex is an English expat living in the beautiful city of Montepellier in the south of France.  As an expat, he has lived there for 5 years now and he moved there to 'continue his journey of learning a foreign language as an adult'

Are you also an expat living in France or any other Francophone country? Then this episode is perfect for you to use French expressions that are very natural and common. Maybe you don't live in France but you're thinking of or you're already watching TV in French or listening to French music, this would also be PERFECT for you!
