One Thing In A French Day | Stories from Paris in French

Programme de l’été : les épisodes du 90 (Why French Says 80 + 10)


Listen Later

Le 90 fait sa star sur le podcast cet été ! Un nombre dont les multiples aspects sont présents sur le podcast. Je vous raconte comment un simple « Pomme F » sur mon Mac a fait surgir cette série de l’été.

Ninety. In French, there’s no single word for it – you have to say ‘quatre-vingt-dix,’ literally ‘eighty-ten.’ It’s one of those quirks that makes French famous among learners. In this launch episode, I explain how a simple search on my computer turned ‘ninety’ into the theme of this summer’s rebroadcast series: nine archive episodes, from 2013 to 2025, all connected by the many faces of this number.

This episode kicks off ‘Les épisodes du 90,’ a special summer collection open to both One Thing In A French Day and Cultivate Your French listeners. Expect real, both crafted and unscripted storytelling – the kind of French you’ll actually hear in Paris, not in a textbook.

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, three natural expressions to practice out loud, and a comprehension question to answer once you’ve listened all the way through. A different way to make progress in French.
