About Laetitia

IMG_5442.jpg

My name is Laetitia Perraut and I have been running the podcast One Thing In A French Day since November 2006.

I’m French, I live in Bois-Colombes and I have always lived close to Paris. I’m married to Pietro, from Lyon and of Italian origins, and we have three daughters, known as « Les trois chipies » : Micaela born in 2005, Felicia born in 2007 and Lisa born in 2009.

Besides the podcast, I work as a self-employed entrepreneur in the publishing industry. I write phrase books for professionnals that I publish at Editions Café Anglais, my own publishing entity.

Your questions answered

I'm an A1 beginner: is this podcast for me? — I'm sure it is. Cultivate Your French is the podcast for you to pick up words you already know and to get used to the pronunciation.

I'm at A2/B1 level (elementary): is this podcast for me? — Cultivate Your French is a good start for improving your comprehension skills because the same text is said twice. It is said slowly once and then a t normal speed. It's great training for comprehension.

I already have a good level of French (B2/C1/C2): is this podcast for me? — One Thing In A French Day is for you. It's the perfect podcast for developing or maintaining your understanding of French. I speak naturally and at my true speed.

Will I be able to understand other French people ?
 Yes, of course, because once your brain is used to the way I speak, it will very easily adapt to other people way of speaking.
You will easily check this when there are other people speaking on the podcast.
This way, you will be able to start understanding and enjoying more media and have more nice conversations with teachers or friends.

Why Are Written Texts Crucial for Effective French Learning?
 The podcast episodes are primarily written texts. This approach is a significant advantage of my content: you're experiencing French as you should learn it, with proper syntax. When you master the written form, you can express yourself correctly. Understanding purely conversational French will then become much easier. Having the complete text of interviews is particularly valuable, as it allows you to notice the nuanced differences between spoken and written French.
