Navigating the French
146 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 14 ratingsFrom one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.
Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.

Ep 23 - Navigating “D’Origine” with Dr. Gemma King
April 03, 2022 06:30 - 30 minutes - 55.7 MBThe French would love for you to believe they’re all descended from the Gauls, and as a society have fairly assimilationist views of what makes someone French. Dr. Gemma King is here to help shed some light on a term that might appear to be purely descriptive of a multiplicity of identities within the tapestry of Frenchness but actually has some built-in connotations of purity and what it means to be truly French: d’origine. gemmasking.com @gemma_s_king Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/p...
