Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.

My name is Emilie, and I'm back again this week inviting you to take a few minutes to reflect on a question together.

This episode, much like the ones before it, is just the start of a conversation.

You might have already guessed from the title of this episode, but today we're talking about friendship.

By the way, if you're wondering how to keep the conversation going after the podcast, I'd love for you to join me on Instagram.

Where does friendship begin, and what does it mean to you? It's a big question, isn't it? Friendship can take many forms, so let's first look at the bonds, strong or weak, that connect us to our circles of friends and talk about the importance of so-called "weak ties" in our social lives.

Next, we'll delve into the world of philosophy to see what philosophers can teach us about friendship.

It's also a great chance for me to introduce you to one of my favorite podcasts.

And finally, I couldn't talk about friendship without mentioning its connection to language learning.

So, this episode is going to wrap up with some tips on how to get the most out of your language exchanges and maybe even broaden your horizons while making new friends along the way.

I found it interesting to start off by mentioning an article I just read in *Courrier International*. (*Courrier International* is a French weekly newspaper that publishes translations of articles from the foreign press.)

You might be wondering what I meant when I mentioned weak ties earlier.

Here are a few examples.

The friends you used to do almost exclusively one thing with before the pandemic, like trying out new restaurants.

Coworkers you don't know very well, but chat with occasionally.
