Bonjour and welcome to season 3 of the Duolingo French Podcast, where we featured

fascinating true stories for intermediate-level French learners.

This season, our storytellers are taking big risks from an amateur cook-couaditions

for a spot on France's top cooking show to a karate lover from Quebec who challenges

discrimination from her to Tommy Matt.

Join us as we travel to a French prison where a jewel thief transforms his life with the

tip of a pencil. And step into the spotlight with a man who sets out to bring a famous

francophone singer back to life.

On June 8th, join millions of others in practicing your French listening skills.

I'm your host and go fenn, I'm putu beller, avianto.
