I like to start my day with a little bit of France and Laetitia. Listening to “One Thing in a French Day,”. It is helping me improve my listening comprehension in French and expand my vocabulary, and also provides a few minutes of refreshing calm to start my day as I follow Laetitia, her family and her friends through out Paris and France. I learn about different areas of the country and get to hear the perspective of ordinary French people about topics such as the French elections. Do yourself a favor, grab a cup of tea or coffee (and a madeleine if you are lucky enough to have one) and spend a few minutes with Laetitia!

I have been listening to Laetitia for more than 6 years now. I fell in love with Paris when I was 20. It was love at first sight but unfortunately I had to leave after spending a week there. Family obligations and other life events intervened and 18 years passed by before I returned to Paris again. It was then that I made up my mind to learn French, largely on my own. It wasn’t easy to start learning a new language in my 40’s when I have been living in San Francisco since but I pushed on for a decade. Listening to Laetitia is a great help. She has a wonderful voice and speaks in a very friendly way. Her topics are interesting. A lot of them give me a taste of ordinary French life. Now I visit Paris more often and I can get by without much of a language barrier. I can assure you that Laetitia is a real nice French lady, not an AI entity😋

I have listened to Laetitia since the beginning of her podcast, since her oldest daughter was a baby. It and it has improved and kept my French refreshed for many years. She is so lively and charming and covers such a broad range of interesting subjects relating to French life. From time to time I have exchanged messages with her and she always replies with a warm personal message. It’s like having a lovely French friend.

Rejoignez-nous et vous vous amuserez beaucoup.

Très utile pour apprendre français à niveau intermédiaire. Merci Laetitia !

I have been using the podcast and the transcript to maintain and improve my French for a few years. Laetitia shares with us the French language and culture with glimpses into her life and the life of her family. She also brings on outside guests which further expands the cultural experience and helps with understanding other French accents, speed of speaking, etc.

J'adore ce podcast. Je l'écoute depuis trois ans et j'apprends beaucoup. J'adore surtout les épisodes qui s'agissent de la musique ou de la littérature ou des événements quotidiens du jour. C'est toujours intéressant! Et souvent malin!

Mon français n’est pas assez bien pour comprendre ce podcast. Je souhaite que vous expliquiez des mots ou expressions, ´ça veut dire…´ comme d’autres podcasts ´inner French’ ou ´French to go’ qui est mon préféré.

C’est mon podcast préféré

Thank you, it’s very helpful for people like me who are beginners in French 🙏🏻😇😊

What an enjoyable way to improve my French. Thank you, Laetitia!

I have really enjoyed these episodes for a couple of years and finally paid for the text. Looking forward to taking the next step in my French language (and cultural) learning. Thanks Laetitia!

Really enjoy this podcast for my french comprehension and listening. Interesting episodes Kavi Colin

I absolutely love listening to Laetitia recount the daily activities and travels of her family. For me, it’s an excellent way to continue working on my French comprehension and vocabulary. The transcripts (through a subscription) are a great reference after I’ve listened several times. Plus, she’s a foodie, like me, so I love those episodes in particular and also the interviews which allow me to hear other French accents and perspectives. I listen for hours in road trips!! 🇫🇷 ❤️ 🇫🇷

Lovely way to learn French and a little French culture.

Once my French improves enough so that I could actually grasp a bit of what Laetitia was saying, I began to really love this podcast. I still try to listen twice without the transcript, then listen while reading the transcript to figure out all the words I’ve never seen/heard before (of which there as so many!), and finally listen again to try to hear and understand it all at normal French conversational speed. SO helpful!

Love catching up on my French

someone pleas help me find the transcripts that are on the website

I feel I know Laetitia and her girls. I gain so much from the ordinary slices of life. The way she is raising her family is commendable and yet she is transparent about her ‘oops’ in her days. I teach French and learn something new, often. I also like the staged role-playing she does with her oldest daughter or best friend. A great addition for when she is on vacation.

I am bilingual and am raising my young children to be as well. We listen to this on our way home from school/work in the car. They get to hear French from someone other than me and listen to real life experiences of French life. It is easy enough spoken French for even young children who are just learning to speak to understand, but also covers interesting subject matter for me to listen to as an adult. Win win! Highly recommend!

The French Day podcast is super cool.The episodes are short and manageable and Laetitia's anecdotes are always colorful and amusing. I find that I end up learning French the way a small child does, by hearing it spoken and intuitively putting together the puzzle of verbs and vocabulary. I highly recommend it!

I have been listening to Laetitia’s podcast for over four years. Her stories are engaging, and a delightful way to study French. But I have also gained better understanding of everyday life of a French family as well as of French culture. I keep a note of cafes and other establishments that she introduces in order to go there myself when I travel to Paris. Thanks to her podcast I have read new books and started following French radio programs. I use her podcasts for shadowing practice as well. They are perfect length for this. I cannot recommend enough this delightful and excellent podcast.

Un podcast parfait pour exercer mon français avant d’aller en France cet été et pour me rappeler pourquoi j’adore la France.

This is such a sweet, calm, fun podcast- and such a great way for me to keep up my French skills. It’s a joy to listen to!

I absolutely love this podcast. It has helped me understand spoken French better. Although this is for intermediate listeners, beginners should listen as well to get used to hearing spoken French. Since you are listening to anecdotes about a day in her life and sometimes short stories, it gives you an insight on how to use French for daily situations and teaches you about culture. This is something that my French courses lacked. I highly recommend it if you are serious about learning French and understanding this beautiful culture. They are little snippets that pack a lot of information. À demain Laetitia !

I'm a seasoned Francophile, have a BA in French and have used a lot of different resources online for improving and keeping up my French. This is by far my favorite-- there's a personal connection with Laetitia that keeps you coming back to hear the next episode. Her news letter is wonderful and affordable. I have two small children of my own. How does she do all this?

I've only heard one and I'm hooked. It's pleasant and enjoyable listening to her talk about daily life. Great teaching tool for intermediate French listeners. Would probably be great animated!

This is a wonderful podcast for the intermediate French speaker. Being able to read along with the charming Laticia is an added bonus.

In this podcast, Laetitia recounts a small portion of her day, entirely in French, and under five minutes. Included with this podcast is a transcript of what Laetitia says during the podcast, which is helpful when you want to be able to look up words in the text. This podcast will help the listener improve their listening skills and their vocabulary while listening to a speaker who speaks clearly and at a normal pace. The audio is of excellent quality. This is a wonderful podcast! I love that the transcripts are available for me to look up the words if I don't know their meaning, to have the words correctly spelled, and have the opportunity to also improve my reading skills. Laetitia is very easy to listen to, and I like that the podcasts are short. I also really like the variety of topics Laetitia covers in the podcasts. I always look forward to listening to the next episode to hear what I can understand this time.

I have been listening to this podcast for four years. When I began listening, I didn't understand very much though I enjoyed hearing the french. I had to read the podcast in order to understand it. Four years later, I find that I understand most of the podcasts the first time I hear it. I still listen to each a second time, however, while following along with the text. Although the podcast is not a french lesson, it's a great way to keep or develop one's ear for listening to french spoken by native speakers. It's also short--somedays I am challenged to listen to even this 3 minute podcast, I would not have the time to follow any "lesson" that were longer. Lastly, it's interesting to hear what Laetitia is up to--after four years of listening, I feel as though she's a friend. Being short and interesting is what keeps me listening--and is helping my french.

There is no other French language blog/podcast of this quality. Spoken in excellent French at a normal pace, with an accompanying transcript in French, sets this blog apart from all others. Guillaume

I really enjoy listening to these little stories. I am at a French 3 level, and they are definitely too advanced for me, but the challenge of piecing the sentences together just makes it more fun. What I love about this is actually that it does not provide real lessons in French; it just supplements whatever French you already know, in a very natural, fun way. Many of the other Podcasts which provide lessons on grammar and simple vocabulary would be too boring and repetitive for someone who has already learned the basics. I hope this podcast continues. Merci beaucoup!

Laetitia has a lovely voice. Her narration flows, and her pronunciation is clear. The podcast is entirely in French. If you are a beginner, it might be difficult to follow. However, this podcast is wonderful if you want to hear French spoken by a native. If you click on the (i) by the description, you will get the text. It's helpful to listen to it once, follow along a second time with the text, and then read the text aloud for your own ear. I really enjoy listening to this series. I went back to the beginning and started with the first one.

Laetitia's gentle voice shares a bit of her daily life. Charming, interesting, and well worth the time spent. A transcript of each episode is on her website.

Laetitia superbly marries her real life into a language learning tool. In this short podcast I learn many new vocabulary words, exercise my grammar and enjoy a glimpse into a Parisian day.

I could not imagine how hard would be for me to keep learning french if I did not have this podcast to listen to. It helps me so much in my listening skils... Merci :}

I consider myself to be 75% fluent and I am very familiar with all the grammar. I have been looking for a French podcast with a native speaker speaking at a normal pace about interesting topics. This is the only podcast that I have found where there is no translation into English and that doens't dumb down the language. She speaks at a fast pace, but still very clearly. My only complaint is that it is so short! :( I wish it lasted longer!

This is a great podcast for those of us who already speak French and can't practice more on a day to day basis. Laetitia is a lovely girl who shares a little bit of her life in a simple, yet charming way. Don't hesitate to suscribe!

The opportunity to hear what a french person would say rather than what you might translate is invaluable. Especially pleasing is the dailiness of the text/

Ça fait toujours plaisir d'écouter Laetitia, une narratrice aussi charmante qu’intéressante. C’est vraiment quelque chose de passionnant. Merci beaucoup.

Merci enormement, Laetitia! I first started listening to "One thing" simply to practice my French, but now I just want to hear the wonderful stories Laetitia tells. I'm addicted and I certainly miss this podcast on the weekends! Keep up the great work, Laetitia!!

A great way to get French in you daily routine. Merci beaucoup Latetia!

I am a native French speaker and a language teacher in Philadelphia, Pa, and I think that this blog is far superior to many others. It is very professionally produced and the podcasts really set this blog apart. It’s a perfect tool to discover French culture and learn French (though reserved for intermediate to advance students), and I also greatly appreciate the fact that the style, syntax and vocabulary are of a very high linguistic quality; it is almost literary without being too formal. Great job!

I love your podcast.

This podcast is great. It's really helped me to build my vocabulary and it has taught me a lot about French vernacular and sentence structure. Plus Latietia's stories are interesting. Merci, pour tout.

J'aime cette podcast! Je comprends tout, merci Laetitia! Parfaitement fait.

Excellent!

This short, fun podcast is such a pleasure to listen to, and Laetitia has the sweetest voice. It's a daily refresher course so I don't forget my high school french, and it's so easy to follow along (Just click on the 'I' in the far left column of the episode row for a transcript). Plus, she often describes the delicious meals she gets to enjoy, and life in one of the best culinary capitals of the world!

This is a perfect little "bit" of French to help me brush up on my college French. Interesting. Not time consuming. Thank you Laetitia!

Great podcast.
