How do you enhance your language learning once you've outgrown textbooks?
With curiosity, culture and new obsessions !
One Thing In A French Day bridges the gap between formatted classroom French and real life French as spoken in Paris. This podcast invites you into my Parisian daily life. Authentic stories from real encounters, with French that's carefully chosen but never artificial. Bienvenue.
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.

J’ai installé les filles devant un DVD et je suis allée dans la cuisine. La veille, j’avais fait cuire une courge butternut dans l’intention de préparer une quiche.
