In this somewhat different episode you’ll get to hear a real French lesson that I recorded with Lothar, a student from Germany! As you will hear, Lothar has very good comprehension and speaking skills, so listening to our conversation will be a great exercise for you! Lothar wanted to tell me about his trips to French island Corsica (la Corse, where Napoléon was from); the session was a spontaneous conversation. I interrupted Lothar here and there to correct or point out a few grammatical points and give him relevant vocabulary. The notes I took down for him during the session are available in the shownotes of the episode for you to see.

A few months ago, I introduced a new concept to give you the opportunity to have a casual French session on Skype with me, since I can’t commit to recurring lessons anymore. This is a great opportunity to get my personal feedback on your French and ask me anything that you need help with.

Students taking the lesson agree to be recorded (I make sure any personal detail is then edited out) and the result may become a podcast episode…like today! This way, my feedback is both personal and still helping as many of you as possible.

When you participate, you get your own copy of the notes AND the mp3 recording of the lesson.

In the shownotes you’ll find the notes I took for Lothar. You may like to use it to follow our conversation.

If you’ve enjoyed learning from a real French lesson situation, I encourage you to participate because there cannot be any more episodes without students!
