This podcast is about sharing small talks in French. Each podcast invites a different guest who shares my life in one way or another. It includes my family members, my friends and my students. The aim is to show that no matter what the accents and levels are, there is always a way to make ourselves be understood. Respect and open-mindedness are just the foundations. So let's get started!

In this episode, I speak about the crucial question that most of my students ask me at the end of their training which is: how do I maintain my skills? My answer is always the same: invest time and be kind and patient to yourself. But, of course, I also recommend a few applications which I find very useful.

In this episode, I talk about our trip to Punta Cana with the kids. It was for our family moon and what can I say? It was absolutely wonderful: from the beach, the weather to the excursion and the hotel. And most importantly, our kids. Spending time was just a delight and we realized how precious those times are. We already knew it but it was even more special this time around.
In this episode, I talk about the new addition to our already chaotic family but what an addition! Snoopy is our new puppy and we are so grateful for him. He became part of our family thanks to one of my students, Caroline, who entered a competition with a breeder of Aussidoodle to win a puppy for her daughter. When speaking to me about it, I realized that it would be great to make that plunge and get a dog for our four children and for me too. Snoopy is adorable despite chewing on everything around him. We lost a few pair of shoes and cushions but it,s worth it!
In this episode, I talk about our wedding day. I explain why it was a long process to get everything ready (sourcing caterer, venue, wasters, decor, dresses, suits, wedding cake).

I also thank Cassy and Lee for providing a wonderful Italian meal along with a special thanks to the team of waiters who were just so attentive. For the music, we had a great DJ, Daniel and my student, Kent and his girlfriend Emily, who played some acoustic music. It was just our idea of perfect! Finally, what was amazing and touching is to see how everybody was happy for us. We couldn't have wished for a better day! Can we do it again?

They prepared a traditional Polish Easter lunch: a soup to start with, sausages and boiled eggs and many desserts including a cheesecake, a chocolate tart and a Panetonne.

Today is also my son's birthday so I wish him a great 12th birthday!
