Duolingo French Podcast
Duolingo French Podcast is a free French podcast for beginner and intermediate learners (A2–B1). Great storytelling for A2 to B1; no new episodes since February 2024.
Checked October 2026 on the official site ·
The Duolingo French Podcast tells true stories in easy-to-follow French, with English narration from host Ngofeen Mputubwele to keep you on track, and a transcript is linked for episodes. There are about 125 episodes; the most recent, in February 2024, were repeats, and nothing new has been published since. It suits a late beginner who wants interesting stories without getting lost. The English framing means it does not train you to follow French without help, and it is an archive now, not a live show.
