00 Why I made this program?

⭐ In this B1-level podcast I will talk about happiness and the search of happiness, migration and expatriation, and will also tell you a bit about my family’s origin and about myself. We will see how to express unsatisfaction, how to speak about future plans, we will practise the imperfect and the compound past and much more.

⭐ In the first part of this podcast I will speak French only, and in the second part I will translate and explain everything I said in English.
