French that speaks to you. Salut, c'est Hugo! I created this podcast in 2017 when I was teaching at the French institute in Warsaw, Poland. My goal was to show my students that they could learn French naturally simply by listening to it. 30 million downloads later, I think we're onto something! Granted, it's not a magic bullet.

I finished Alice Ayel’s Adult Stage, and found the content fairly boring. Plus I felt that I had enough French knowledge that I didn’t need video any more. This podcast is just the right level, and because it’s a podcast I can listen while doing other things. I start my day by reading and re-listening to the podcast from the day before. I look up new words, or ask Gemini to explain confusing constructions. Then later in the day I listen to the previous day’s podcast for the 3rd time, paying attention to the new words, then listen to the next podcast.

Perfect for review

Hugo is a pleasure to listen and learn from. Nice guy with a good sense for the level of learners he aims to attract

Merci beaucoup!

J'adore les podcasts de Hugo. Au début, je les écoutais sans ordre particulier. Récemment, j'ai repris depuis le tout premier, et il m'a été facile de suivre. Les podcasts de Hugo allient des sujets intéressants à une élocution française idéale pour les étudiants de la langue. Encore une fois, j'adore les podcasts de Hugo. Merci beaucoup !
