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.

C’est l’été, par un chaud samedi après-midi, je suis dans le bus 21 qui, je le crois, me ramène vers Saint-Lazare. Trois jeunes femmes discutent derrière moi et, un peu malgré moi, bercée par le bus, je suis leur conversation. Après avoir parlé de leurs plans pour la fin août, elles parlent maintenant des débardeurs blancs.
Nous sommes dans un bus à Paris. Les trois jeunes femmes sont étudiantes.
Il est question de shopping, de prix, de qualité des vêtements et d'une nouvelle d'Italo Calvino.
