I thought it was serendipitous that another German learner had followed me, but then I saw how many people you have followed 😂 That's one way to find us! Kommen Sie aus Belgien?
Want to be confused and also cry?! While the Duolingo owl is extraordinarily passive aggressive and I've deleted my app out of annoyance/shame, the podcast features first-person stories in French that are so amazing -- and they're buffered by English narration for those of us who only understand, like, 6% of the French part. I like to believe I'm learning by just listening, but either way, the stories themselves are very touching and well worth the time.
Anytime I want to listen to something and actually feel like I've gained some knowledge (*cough* when I'm not in the mood for true crime *cough*) I always go back to "[IN] pertinente" by Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. What they do is basically a normal and very acessible conversation between 1 expert on a subject (Economy, Politics, Society and Science) and a "regular" person (a communicator from portuguese media). My favorite are the science episodes, but when it comes to Politics they have been touching on some really important matters (iykyk). If you speak portuguese, I would recommend you give it a try :)
