“Trying to revive my zombie French. This podcast offers an accessible, engaging selection of poems. Camille Chevalier-Karfis reads through once extra-slowly and extra-clearly, which I appreciate!”

“It's is great for french students, really cool information and wisely chosen poems. Even if you think you don't like poetry, it is a good excuse to introduce yourself into French culture, and what's better, you will start liking french poetry. I widely recommend it to you.”

“As a student trying hard to learn how to not only pass tests but actually understand the language, it is incredibly difficult to find listening exercises geared towards the intermediate student. There are plenty of things for advanced students, but it is discouraging to listen only to those since...”Read full review »

“Of all the podcasts I have listened to, this one is my favorite -- I'd probably actually pay for it. I learned French by speaking with my young cousins, who are French, and as a result I can speak quickly and understand, but my grammar and vocabulary is a mess. I'm no more an advanced student...”Read full review »

“This is an excellent series for those who want to get into la poesie francaise, but are removed from francophones. Camille is an awesome explicator, and she introduces you to some new interpretations of poems you think you know.”

While acquiring a knowledge of French poetry, this is an excellent opportunity to submerge oneself in a world of spoken and written French for those of us who live so far from...”Read full review »

“Ca y est! C´etait ni Fréderic Mey, le chanteur compositeur allemand, ni Greg Lenorman, qui chantait la ballade, la ballade des gens heureux. Merci pour le renseignement, Coralie. Et si ca risque de vous choquer c´est ma culture génèrale affaiblie qui fluctuat nec mergitur.”

“The best-ever french lessons I've had. Camille's approach is extremely listener-friendly and satisfying even for beginners. Don't be put off by "poetry", it turns out that this is actually a very appropriate approach for this particular language. Highly recommended!”
