      Yeah, he speaks slowly and clearly. More importantly, he isn't speaking to you like a child or as if you're a native speaker. He has that nice middle ground.

      There is no reason to speak at a faster pace, unless you have a time constraint, or have a need to interject, or want to show off how fast you can speak. When you speak slower, not super slow, you will sound more confident, wiser and more intelligent! Sometimes the speed is actually covering up a weakness....

    This is so helpful. For me, I noticed it's easier when I stop trying to translate in my head and just listen closely. I don't get lost as easily this way. Maybe I don't get every word but of course I can tell when I'm understanding and when I'm not. My point is, don't try too hard and you will be suprised that it helps.

    I've started to acquire French just 2 weeks ago, from SCRATCH, and today on the 1st day of my third week i'm able to understand like 80-90% of what you said on this video. I've tryharded so much during this quarentine, I studied for at least 8hs a day - every single day - and i'm still doing it. Most of the time, like 70% or more, I was headed to listening (Krashen's method). It's working reaaally great! I'm now in a mix of proudness and happiness right after this video.

    I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Hugo, for making this excellent podcast! I must say, as listening materials for beginners and intermediate learners, these episodes are just impeccable. The length of each episode is appropriate - not too short in a way that contains too little information. The words are uttered in a moderate speed and a clear fashion. And the intermittent jingles - they are just perfect indicators of the change of ideas/topics and jazz up the listening experience. Keep up the good work! My learning of French counts on you! :D

    When you said that if you have hope about learning a language, it's easy to learn is so true.

I am learning French again ,years later, and I still can't pronounce a lot of words, but I am still learning and praticing more because I know that I will get it.

    I am thrilled to have found this site. when i listened to lesson 1, i understood many of the words but could not easily string it together to understand the entire context easily, the second time, i listened as i read it and was overwhelmed with how i could understand about 85% of the context. I have always been frustrated going from beginner french to all other intermediate french podcasts as the jump was too big. This podcast is the perfect next step for me. I am very good at memorizing words and grammar rules so that i read and speak far better than I can comprehend. Now finally i have something that allows my brain to listen and understand so that my listening comprehension can improve.
    I am simply thrilled.

    (Je suis brésilien) Sou brasileiro, estou bem no início do estudo em francês. Adoro (J'adore) seus podcasts! Eu compreendo bastante o que você fala (tu parles) , embora ainda desconheça muito (beaucoup) sua língua. Porém, resolvi criar um método: ao te ouvir, eu pauso o vídeo - para anotar e ver o significado de cada palavra (mot) que não sei (je ne sais pas) em francês. Isso me ajudou muito! Pois estou ampliando meu vocabulário (vocabulaire). Obrigado (Merci!).

      En français, le point d'interrgation (!) ne se colle pas au mot qu'il précède ; ex. : «... se trouve sur TH-cam ! ». C'est la même chose pour les (?), (;), (:) et les (« »).

    Great learner-oriented pace, not as found in real, daily life or creative French short films. I should consider this also as a dictation and write it all down to see how I go. Literacy in the language is my aim. Easy enough with stop, start and review on the keyboard. Listen to lots of these podcasts and eventually up the speed by 25% in the options. A great way into French. Very useful, thank you!

      Roseangelie Figueroa I’m sorry for my late reply I didn’t get a notification when you replied! Find a series called french in action and watch that. There are 52 episodes and that’s what I used to get a good start. Even if you don’t understand it at first, keep watching and try to listen for words you know. When I started watching, it took me about 10 to 15 episodes to really feel like I was understanding, but once you finish it just watch it again and again until you feel like you can move on. These podcasts are good for people who have some kind start in french already. Good luck!! Don’t give up!

    Hello
    I got very fustrated with french learning, I can't learn grammer and I was looking everywhere on youtube for intressting french content, who's not very complicated. But never found anything. And two months after youtube recommended a video from you and now I can start learn freench like I learned english. With intressting content, who makes me want to understand the other person and with that starts also my intresst in the other language.. It's a miracle for me, why school don't understand this.. make a language for daily use and it gets intressting..
    You are a great person! and thanks so much for the effort. I will definitly enjoy your content!(:
