How do you enhance your language learning once you've outgrown textbooks?
One Thing In A French Day bridges the gap between formatted classroom French and real conversational French as spoken in everyday Paris.
As one of the pioneering voices in podcast-based language learning, this show has provided for nearly two decades what's surprisingly hard to find : French that exists nowhere else. Not textbook French, not simplified YouTube French, not literary French, not radio or TV French - but the French you only hear when you're actually there. Unscripted conversations that aren't simplified for learners, yet remain accessible. Each episode draws from genuine daily life in Paris - family moments with three daughters, cultural discoveries, interviews with French professionals met in person.
Every episode delivers vocabulary, sentence structures, and conjugation patterns within natural contexts. Topics span culture, food, literature, sports, and political life - offering the cultural immersion that textbooks can't provide.
Recent interviews include acclaimed novelist Leïla Slimani, renowned pastry chef Claire Heitzler, deputy Philippe Juvin, and four French students sharing what matters to them at 19. The Montmartre series explored the neighborhood's history, the Sacré-Cœur story, and meetings with local poet-artists.

Il était presque dix heures du matin quand nous sommes arrivées à Rueil-Malmaison. Des gens se promenaient ou faisaient du sport. Le paysage était davantage urbain. D’ailleurs, nous étions en partie sur une route. Tout à coup, je vois un panneau qui indique sur la gauche « poney club ».
