I'm Sam, and in this podcast, I'll be your guide on your francophone journeys. Join me on a virtual tour of the French-speaking world! We'll travel from the Atlantic Coast to Corsica, and from the Alps to Africa. In each episode, you'll discover a fascinating new place, and find someone waiting to tell you a real-life story - in French, of course! I'll jump in here and there during each episode to explain important words or to give you some context and background to the story. We'll not only get familiar with the French language, but we'll also dive into the culture and traditions of this incredibly diverse world - no plane ticket required.
