I don’t know how but this guy makes me believe I speak French!

I feel like a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ being able to breathe underwater because this guy speaks so clearly 👀🧠🗣

The Académie Française should give this guy a medal. He's far and away the best creator of content for those studying French.

Hugo is one of the unsung heroes of KZfaq. If you've reached the intermediate plateau with your French, able to communicate at a decent level but unable to make further progress, still struggling to watch films without subtitles for example, this is the resource you've been looking for. Thank you Hugo for making all this fantastic content available for free!

guess my french is better than i thought because i was able to understand almost everything like 80%-90%

I can't believe it. I listened French just for 28 minutes and I understood

You’re the best French teacher ever. Merci.

This guy speaks a little slower than normal French, and for that reason, my comprehension jumps from 10% to nearly 100%. lol

This is so helpful. For me, I noticed it's easier when I stop trying to translate in my head and just listen closely. I don't get lost as easily this way. Maybe I don't get every word but of course I can tell when I'm understanding and when I'm not. My point is, don't try too hard and you will be suprised that it helps.

C'etait parfait pour moi! :) Votre voix est très claire et vos phrases sont très logiques. Merci pour vos paraphrases des 5 hypothèses.

I've started to acquire French just 2 weeks ago, from SCRATCH, and today on the 1st day of my third week i'm able to understand like 80-90% of what you said on this video. I've tryharded so much during this quarentine, I studied for at least 8hs a day - every single day - and i'm still doing it. Most of the time, like 70% or more, I was headed to listening (Krashen's method). It's working reaaally great! I'm now in a mix of proudness and happiness right after this video. Thank you for the content! And guys, the comprehensible input is TRUE! Merci!

J'ai défini mon niveau de la connaissance de la langue française en vous écoutant . Mon niveau est avancé. Je n'ai pas eu d' aucune difficulté de comprendre votre émission- votre transmission de l' information d'acquisition de la langue. Je suis russe. J'ai commencé à apprendre la langue française à l'âge 47 ans - aujourd'hui j'ai 60 ans. Je lis en français des grands livres sur le sujet philosophique et psychologique. Merci.

Merci! Je suis une débutante de la langue francaise et j'ai compris la majorité du podcasts! Cette format de vidéo est vraiment utile pour pratiquer la compréhension oral. Merci beaucoup, prof Hugo! J'aime tes vidéos

This guy speaks so clearly, I can hear every single word even if i don't know what it means!

This podcast is surprisingly comprehensible to majority of novice French speakers. For the people who hasn't found this yet, good luck on finding this masterpiece. I am shocked that I can understand it without translating it in my head or thinking twice. It's a big help.

C'est incroyable - j'écoutais hier à beaucoup de vos podcasts et maintenant je peux beaucoup mieux comprendre le radio français (avant cette semaine, j'ai compris presque rien... mais c'est aussi parce que je suis canadien et tous les québécois parlent comme ils sont fou) J'veux faire un jour un cours de traduction entre le français et l'anglais donc voilà!! Ces podcasts sont simplement trop utiles 😭👍🏻 Merci Merci

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Hugo, for making this excellent podcast! I must say, as listening materials for beginners and intermediate learners, these episodes are just impeccable. The length of each episode is appropriate - not too short in a way that contains too little information. The words are uttered in a moderate speed and a clear fashion. And the intermittent jingles - they are just perfect indicators of the change of ideas/topics and jazz up the listening experience. Keep up the good work! My learning of French counts on you! :D

I understand about 2% of what you're saying but I still feel like I'm learning a lot from this!

Bonjour, je suis un nouvel apprenant de français, je tiens à remercier, j'ai beaucoup appris sur Stephen Krashen. Merci!

For the first time, I did in fact, understand EVERY word..in.french 😁😁 je suis sur la lune. Thank you for a wonderful job! God bless!

Bonjour, je suis un homme cubain, qui habite au Etats Unis depuis 1983, j'ai appris le francais lorsque j'etais un jeune homme et je devenue traducteur et interprete pendant 4 ans. Maintenant j'ai 72 ans. Ma vie a beaucoup changé, à travers des ans, et je n'ai pas pratiqué la langue francais pour long temp, depuis que j'ai quitté Cuba, raison pour la quelle je perdue beaucoup le francais. J'ai trouvé ce podcast en francais et je crois il est magnifique pour pratiquer la langue. Je vous remercie pour votre video. Excusez moi toutes les fautes, et le manque d'accents. Je m'appelle Arturo.

I’ve just started listening to your podcasts and KZfaq. I realised I can understand French more than I thought I could. My first language is Portuguese. You have an excellent method of teaching! Merci.

I find myself coming back to this podcast from time to time, it almost feels like my French practice home. It's easy and makes me feel confident when I listen to it and I find that it also helps me track how much progress I've made based on how easy it is to listen too

Excellent podcast! Thank you to you, Hugo! Listening to inner french podcasts will be a part of my daily routine!

I am thrilled to have found this site. when i listened to lesson 1, i understood many of the words but could not easily string it together to understand the entire context easily, the second time, i listened as i read it and was overwhelmed with how i could understand about 85% of the context. I have always been frustrated going from beginner french to all other intermediate french podcasts as the jump was too big. This podcast is the perfect next step for me. I am very good at memorizing words and grammar rules so that i read and speak far better than I can comprehend. Now finally i have something that allows my brain to listen and understand so that my listening comprehension can improve. I am simply thrilled.

Je suis une étudiante de français en Pologne et tes podcasts sont très utiles pour moi. Merci ^^

Two/three month ago i could't understand anything from this podcast!. Today my eyes are almost wet with tears because i understood almost everything. Thank you so much Hugo!!!!

what a useful an important person you are for this world with supplying people knowledge freely, thank you very much!

Inner french podcasts are abolutely amazing! Congratulations Hugo on the great job you've been doing. I've been trying to learn french for a long time now but have never felt this motivated before! I highly recommend listening to Hugo's podcasts to all french lovers. You'll be amazed at how fast you'll progross and before you know it, listening to inner french podcasts will be a part of your daily routine! Thanks Hugo for doing such a wonderful job!

I love your podcasts, you are very clear. I’ve listened to this one 3x so far and the third time I understood 99% . Thank you so much for the work you do and the time you put in to making the podcast. You are truly enabling me and many many others to learn French! Merci beaucoup!

After a year of learning french I can understand this incredible podcast. Thank you very much for you precious time, Hugo ✨

Thank you so much Hugo, your content, style and pace is perfect for an intermediate learner like myself. My French has been stuck at intermediate level for many years and I already feel like I’ve progressed. You are an excellent tutor and I’m looking forward to improving my French to an advanced level (meaning understanding long conversations and participating!) with your excellent content and encouragement.

I'm still a beginner, but understood 40%-50% of the podcast. Merci beaucoup pour votre travail, C'est très utile!. J'aimerais apprendre le français comme troisième langue.

Des conseils excellents. Merci Hugo!! En tant que professeur d'anglais je suis d'accord avec ce que tu dis. Ta chaîne m'aide déjà.

Thank you sonmuch for this channel. I grew up speaking French with my family but I have been away from it for many years. This is exactly what I was looking for to refresh my 1st language and not lose it.

I am a retiree trying to refresh my intermediate French learned so years ago and find your podcasts and videos most helpful. Merci beaucoup.

Bro you are legend. I am halfway through A1 and following your podcasts gives me knowledge and confidence. Tres bien et merci beaucoup.

When you said that if you have hope about learning a language, it's easy to learn is so true. I'd tried learning French my first year of college and I didn't take French 2 because I'd thought that I wouldn't be able to speak it and I'd wished that I would've never gave up. I am learning French again ,years later, and I still can't pronounce a lot of words, but I am still learning and praticing more because I know that I will get it.

You're straight genius, keep going on doing that great matter for us , Thanks so much for bailing us out , I sometimes listen podcast but I'm damn sure this the best podcast ever done

I'm grateful to have found Hugo. What a motivation to listen when he is such a lovely chap!

I love these podcasts, keep up the good work!

(Je suis brésilien) Sou brasileiro, estou bem no início do estudo em francês. Adoro (J'adore) seus podcasts! Eu compreendo bastante o que você fala (tu parles) , embora ainda desconheça muito (beaucoup) sua língua. Porém, resolvi criar um método: ao te ouvir, eu pauso o vídeo - para anotar e ver o significado de cada palavra (mot) que não sei (je ne sais pas) em francês. Isso me ajudou muito! Pois estou ampliando meu vocabulário (vocabulaire). Obrigado (Merci!).

It's been a long time since I tried to find a real good podcast to learn French, finally I got it. I appreciate it. 👍🏾

I have a Distinction in A2 DELF, but was struggling with listening and speaking. These podcasts are boosting my confidence back. He is slow and clear. Merci beaucoup.

I just loved ❤️ . I’m so glad that I’m still able to understand that level of french .

Salut Hugo, j’ai commencé à écouter tes podcasts récemment et, voilà, j’ai décidé de commencer depuis le numéro 1. Tu as une voix très claire et tes sujets son intéressants à moi. Merci. Ah... je suis brésilienne.

This is great! I have a hard time understanding spoken French because of the speed and the vocabulary, but find the way you speak to be paced well and very well articulated. Thank you. And thank you for the shout out to Stephen Krashen, Professor Emeritus at USC, my Alma Mater!

I studied Stephen Krashen and I'm glad someone used his ideas not just in books but as a real way to learn. Thank you for your podcast.

Best way of learning french I found on the internet... After looking for a long time, I finally got it. Thank you!!

Bonjour Monsieur! Vous avez absolument raison! Y a pas bcp de vidéo français pour intermédiate à avancer mon niveau donc je suis très contente que je vous trouve sur KZfaq! Merci de continuer de nous faire de bonne vidéo comme çà pour que j’écoute tous les jours!! Bonne journée bise

Hugo, muito obrigado ! Foi seu podcast que tive minha principal experiência em compreender do começo ao fim uma história em Francês. Eu estou muito feliz. Sou morador do Rio de Janeiro e me coloco a disposição para o que você precisar aqui da minha cidade. Obrigado , obrigado e obrigado !

It seems so easy when you listen to a person who understands the difficulty that a learner have and does it in a clear way!! Je vous Remercie pour cette vidéo 🙏🏻

merci de parler lentement! très facile à comprendre 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Thank you for this! I am currently studying GCSE French and listening is probably the hardest part for me, and listening to these is helping me translate quickly. I am currently using them to revise!

just discovered this channel...i m trying to learn by immersing myself in french....this channel is gold..the speaks slow and pretty easy to comphrehend

Wow. What a pleasure! I’m maybe an inter mediate student optimistically, but I understood enough to think I understood his clear speech, his slowed down and clear pronunciation. Looking forward to listening again and again in his beautiful flow of French which attracted me to

I legit started studying French a week ago, 2 weeks ago the only things I knew were Bonjour and croissant, and I actually understood like 70-85ish % of this video! It's ridiculous how much it helps knowing English and Spanish beforehand, I know this is very far from native but it feels great to understand so much

Really great! It's the perfect tempo and I enjoy the topics. Thank you!

THANK YOU so much for making this podcast. I was a French student from Indonesia, yet i did not used French that much. This helps me a lot to re-learn French. merci beaucoup

Thit is exactly how a language should be taught, the way you explain slowly and you make it much easier for a better understanding is really appreciated . Thanks 😊

Merci beaucoup pour ron podcast, Hugo ! Je peux comprendre meilleure qu'avant. J'étudie le français à l'univérsité et je sais que je dois plus que les règles du grammaire. Alors, merci pour ta chaîne et ton site ! 😊👏

Merci! I got probably a good 70% of it. I'll look for the transcript. Looking forward for the next podcast. 🍃☄️🍃☄️🍃

I have been listening to your podcasts for a month now Your style is very good and effective. I just wish to speak as slow and effective as you. Thanks for all.

Thank you for this channel!! I had studied in switzerland in an american school but i knew intermediate french. Yet i always had troubles speaking it to the fullest or comprehending and thought im incompetent at french. This video proved me wrong. MERCI 🙏🏼

Merci beaucoup! Je me sens très bien en écoutant votre excellent podcast. C'est un défi pour moi apprendre le français seul, par moi même, mais quand je écoute vos explications sur les theories de Prof Stephen Krashen et vos commentaires, je commence a me convaincre que il faut perseverer dans mon chemin d'apprentissage par une façon naturelle, en prennant du plaisir. dans un modo presque automatique. Je vous rémercie du fond du coeur por vos efforts!

Thank you for doing these. Very helpful!

Hacía mucho que estaba buscando podcasts de charlas en francés y por fín los encontré. ¡Están super buenos! Me suscribo y espero que sigas haciendo los podcast. Me los estoy descargando a todos.

I'm a Spanish student, currently learning French and this podcast is so helpful!! Thank you!!

I'm new subscriber to your channel even I was thinking that my level in French is A1 but after I listened to much to you I guess my level close to B1 maybe because of my English I think listening to much is the key for any language I speak Arabic and Hebrew and English And now I'm learning French inshallah next it will Spanish or German Thank you so much

I will be learning this podcast by heart :). These phrases are what my brain craves to know and not how to ask directions to find Louvre... I will learn directions later...

This is incredible. Transcripts, Krashen's method, slow speech. You did impeccable, merci.

Excellent podcast. I would say "THE BEST". I was going through the messages written and I was in agreement with them that your voice is clear and speed is perfecr and topics are wonderful. You should be very proud for makeing the learners life better. I can really understand almost all of your words whereas I struggle with other podcasts or language lessions. Thanks a lot!!

Merci beaucoup!! I love it! I'll be listening to you everyday now. 😊

This is great. Took 2 years in college 25 years ago. Finally found one talking not too fast. I can hear all the words even if i don't understand them all. watching movies i'll hear much much less

I've been listening to your podcast for quite a while, but I had no idea it was you. Thanks very much, it helps a lot!

C'est vraiment formidable de trouver des podcasts gratuits et en même temps très intéressants. Je vous remercie tellement monsieur pour vos efforts. C'est ma première séance avec vous et juste le fait de vous écouter m'a donné l'envie de parler en français, surtout que pour moi le français est la langue de l'école, des bureaux, et de tout ce qui est professionnel en général ... maintenant c'est un peu plus amusant de l'apprendre.

Merci beaucoup pour ces podcasts💙 j'espère bien que vous allez faire d'autres podcasts pour les jeunes🙏🙌

Excellent podcast! J'adore comme tu parles. Félicitations.

I never thought I understood better French until I listened to this guy! I even find it easy to repeat most of what he was saying! Great job, sir! Thank you!

For real I have a French degree & sometimes is hard to understand some French accents but this guy is so easy to connect in French!!

Excelente podcast. Obrigado

Just. Perfect. Easy and understandable even for beginners like myself. Thanks a lot!

I agree with you Frédéric, Jez, 1307 and Luna, same happens to me everytime I hear this man, I started listening him almost a month ago but today I am able to understand him almost 100%, besides I understand his point since I have already viewed the Stephen Kraschen video on acquiring a language, I watch this video three times and took notes and it's almost one hour long but it's worth every second, Bonjour!

Recently, you've become my favourite youtuber. Especially when I heard that you are a teacher who live in Poland. Great news! :D

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo! C'est très utile et une niveau parfait.

Merci Hugo pour le podcast vraiment intéressant, les théories d'acquerir une langue étrangère me fascine, et tout ce que vous avez dit, fondé sur vos expériences en tant que prof, et sur vos réflexions là-dessus, a du bon sens.

I feel instantly at home with Hugo. Great job! You have met your objective of making me understand what you are saying. Merci beaucoup!!!!!

That was helpful. Merci :)

I am surprised how much French I can understand with only 3 months of actually studying it 😮

I just can't believe I could understand like 90% of this video. You just gave more motivation to keep learning, you've earned a sub!

Man, I recently got my A2 Certificate and I always struggle in listening but I literally understood almost everything you said. Thank you so much for this

J'etudie le francais pour seulment 5 mois, mais j'ai compris tout ce que t'a dit. Pardon pour mon francais ))

Merci beaucoup mec, j'ai compris presque tout! Salutations d'Allemagne!

It's Ana absolutely amazing podcast! Exactly on the level I am right now and even though I know that French people never speak so clear and slow, at least I did not lost my hope that I forgot all of my French in last years 😅 Thank you for this! I will surely come back for more 👍🏻

Esto es lo que estaba buscando!!! Un podcast sobre algo que me interese y lo suficientemente claro para poder practicar sin frustrarme. Danke Schön!

Petiton to bring back Hugo's beard!

this is already going so badly are there any tips for me to better understand french through listening???

Two months ago I couldn't make out a single word you were saying...now, I am able to recognize more words and better separate the different words in your sentences. Thank you, this helps me not want to give up

Ce podcast est GÉNIAL! Je ne comprends encore pas très bien les médias francophones, donc j'ai cherché des podcasts faciles à écouter. Et ton podcast est fantastique, il est très intéressant! Merci beaucoup, Hugo, j'ai hâte d'écouter le prochain épisode.

Coucou je suis algérien je m'en intéressé d'aprendrele français j'ai un nouveau intermédiaire je veux améliorer mon français et semergie bcp aidé moi stp j'ai besoin de cette langue pour mon voyage
