Hi, I'm Emilie, and this week, as usual, I'd like to invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on a question together.

In each episode, I try to bring you different topics to explore.

My goal is simply to share some food for thought and to encourage you to start asking yourself questions in French.

Today, we're back with a new conversation.

Even today, I still struggle to speak Mandarin fluently.

She encourages us to trust our ears and imitate what we hear.

I knew it, but I needed a reminder.

What I'm trying to say is, Michel inspires me, both as a teacher and a learner.
