Episode 9 is a special edition completely in French. It’s for people studying French, Francophiles, Francophones, and anyone else with a general interest in languages, learning, or travel. Although I studied French language and literature in college and have visited France multiple times, I’ve never mastered spoken French. This summer is as close as I’ve come to my goal of becoming fluent with the help of my guest. I loved the challenge of interviewing him and recording this episode. Don’t know anything except “croissant” or the chorus of “Lady Marmalade?” Listen anyway! Head to my website augustoandres.com where I’ve posted a transcript of the show in English on the “Stories” page. (Apologies in advance to any native French speakers for my accent and any mistakes I make on this episode.) Thanks for listening! ⁣ My guest is Frédéric de Lavenne de Choulot. He’s a French teacher, online language coach, and translator of novels. In this episode, Fred recounts how he discovered a passion for travel and for language, and he shares his experiences, thoughts, and some tips for learning a foreign language.
