  • Biographie - George Sand

    Biographie - George Sand
    Apr 23 2025

    In this episode, Gaelle talks about a famous French writer from the 19th century: George Sand. And don’t be fooled by the masculine name, as it was a decoy for this female writer to get her place in the very misogynist society of the time. Come and meet this incredible woman who didn’t believe in gender norms and thought she could be as good as any man.

I'm finding these podcasts an interesting and enjoyable way to improve my French. The difficulty level is well set so it's not hard to comprehend while learning new vocab

Fantastic learning resource

Good speed for me, and nice clear voice. Really helpful and varied talks about French life, ideas etc. Informative , varied and personal enough to keep it interesting. Slightly annoying, repetitive AI adverts are easy to fast forward through. You can change the speed of the recording to suit, but I found it's the right level for me.

Genuinely interesting talks.

Gaelle has a lovely speaking voice, she doesn’t speak too slow so that the liaisons disappear but not too fast that it’s hard to follow. The topics are interesting too which means i learn more about francophone culture and current affairs as well as historical topics.

Interesting and nice to listen to

Brilliant & really helpful podcast. Her slow talking means I’m able to understand so much more throughout the episode. By the time she gets to the summary in normal paced French, I can follow much better what is being said. Really great & helpful concept.
