Intermediate French with Carlito

In this episode, I join Thomas from Apprendre le French as the very first guest on his new podcast format, French Talks. We have a real, natural conversation in French about one of the biggest frustrations learners face: understanding the language… but struggling to speak it. We talk about my journey from HEC to teaching French, why I chose to work with intermediate learners, and the importance of building confidence through real communication. You'll also discover two different approaches to learning French: one based on structure and repetition, and the other based on culture, immersion, and meaningful context. ⭐ Enjoyed the episode?
