Voici le lien du questionnaire (2 questions - 30 secondes !) 👉 https://forms.gle/Ce8yQ7Svt3nNgLp6A Hello everyone! I'm just sending you this quick message via the podcast because I wanted to share something with you. My podcast French et Moi has just surpassed 5,000 listens! And for me, that's truly huge! For many podcasters, that would be very little, but for me, it's extraordinary. You may or may not know this, but French et Moi is purely a DIY project; I do everything myself, with my own two hands and my own brain. I'm a French teacher, it's my job, and French et Moi is my side project, a project that's close to my heart, that I love, and to which I dedicate a lot of time, even though I wish I had even more time (!!) It's not easy to get your podcast noticed, so when I see the great listenership my episodes get, I'm absolutely thrilled. So a huge thank you to all of you who listen to me; the podcast is listened to in over 88 countries worldwide—it's completely incredible, and you can't imagine how happy it makes me. What interests me is offering you French culture, accessible with an intermediate level of French. But culture is vast! Right now, I'm thinking about what kind of content I'm going to produce, and I'd like to create new content to deliver. I really want to bring you what interests you, what you're passionate about, and for that, I need you ! I need you to tell me what you want, what you need, in French. Whether it's pure, in-depth culture about places and people, or more social culture, like social codes, for example. I have lots of ideas, but it's not easy to decide, to choose for you. I've created a very short form, a questionnaire with just two questions. It's simply a checkbox; you select your preferred option. There's no writing involved. If writing intimidates you, don't worry, it's just a box to tick according to your choice. It will only take 30 seconds, I promise. Your answers are sooo valuable to me so thank you in advance if you can take less than a minute to answer it. 👉 https://forms.gle/Ce8yQ7Svt3nNgLp6A That's all for today. Have a wonderful day, and I'll see you very soon! Marion 🥰 📩 Want to send me a message ? [email protected] Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
