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 les vacances depuis vendredi soir, mais Felicia continue les séances chez l’orthoptiste. J’y suis allée aussi pendant trois mois. Maintenant, c’est au tour de ma fille pour quelques séances. Depuis qu’elle y va, elle a fait des progrès en écriture et en lecture. Elle est moins fatiguée le soir après l’école et se met plus volontiers à ses devoirs. Elle prend plaisir à déchiffrer les mots qu’elle voit sur les emballages, à la télé et dans les livres qu’elle a empruntés à la bibliothèque. Micaela sait lire et écrire, Felicia est sur la bonne voie. Lisa s’y met aussi. Elle sait écrire son prénom, mais surtout elle a décidé qu’elle savait écrire comme nous tous.
